The Feng Shui 8-Faceted Pot — A Symbol of Harmony and Prosperity
The Symbolism of the Eight Facets
In Feng Shui, the octagonal shape (eight sides) represents the Ba Gua, the great energetic mirror of the universe.
Each facet corresponds to an area of life:
- Career
- Knowledge
- Family
- Wealth
- Fame
- Love
- Creativity
- Helpful people
Thus, your pot becomes a microcosm of the Bazi, connecting the eight directions with the balance of the Five Elements. It acts as an energy anchor, attracting and distributing Qi harmoniously around your home.
The Colors of Energetic Balance
You chose three powerful colors: green, red, and gold.
They activate a nourishing cycle according to the Five Elements:
- 🟩 Green (Wood) – growth, healing, vitality.
- 🔴 Red (Fire) – passion, illumination, expansion of the heart.
- 🟡 Gold (Metal) – prosperity, structure, divine protection.
Together, they form a continuous prosperity cycle:
Wood nourishes Fire, Fire creates Metal, and Metal stabilizes energy.
Your pot becomes a magnet of balance and abundance.
The North Orientation — Flow and Career
Placed facing North, the pot activates the Water element, related to career, movement, and life flow.
Green supports the Water flow, gold channels it, and red gives it direction and vitality.
This placement transforms your pot into a guardian of fluid prosperity, attracting opportunities and success to your home.
THE USE OF VASE IN FENG SHUI TO ATTRACT WEALTH
One of the main motivations to employ feng shui is to attract riches, energy, and prosperity. Through promotions, career development, and business opportunities, there are several methods to increase your income and create new possibilities to generate money. A fountain or aquarium is one of the most popular feng shui enhancers, said to be among the most effective ways to boost income and asset growth.
The concept of the wealth vase is that it holds symbols of prosperity — from real money to sacred objects representing abundance. Items such as crystals, gold ingots, seeds, and red envelopes with Chinese coins symbolize a life of continuous growth and nourishment.
These vases are often offered to temples or passed down through generations, representing enduring wealth and ancestral blessings.
Abundance vases are symbols of long-term prosperity, not just temporary wealth. Feng Shui masters believe they capture and store auspicious energy. In Buddhism, the vase is one of the Eight Precious Objects, also seen in the Buddha’s footprints — a sign of deep spiritual reverence.
Guidelines for a Feng Shui Wealth Vase
- Keep it discreetly in a respectful area (living room, office, or bedroom).
- Choose a vase that is narrow at the top and wide at the base.
- Select one that feels sacred and beautiful to you.
- It can be made of crystal, porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
- Fill it completely and seal it with colored cloths (white, yellow, red, green, blue).
Suggested contents
- Seven gemstones (amethyst, citrine, coral, diamond, lapis, pearl, topaz).
- A red envelope with three Chinese coins.
- Small Buddha or deity of wealth.
- Round crystal balls for smooth life paths.
- Five kinds of seeds (beans, rice, barley, lentils, wheat).
- Money or soil from someone wealthy, offered willingly.
- Pictures of wealthy or inspiring people.
- Currency from nine different countries.
- Gold bars or ingots (real or symbolic).
- A miniature globe for global prosperity.
- A picture of your greatest wish or dream.
Once sealed, the vase becomes a container of wealth Qi, drawing prosperity from all directions.

“May the light of the eight directions bless this home.
May prosperity, health, and joy flow in perfect harmony.”
