What is the real Money Toad. Commercial items or real Feng Shui stuff? Who will be richer?

These ugly little money toads are based upon a simple folklore story about a greedy Buddhist monk who was drowned in a pond when he tried to save his money sack. On the same night, When the full moon rose into the evening sky, he transformed into this ugly toad and climbed on out with his money sack in his mouth!!!! This is in fact a moralistic fable tale and has nothing to do with FengShui principles.

The proper analysis of Feng Shui should always be done for BOTH “Internal” and “External” environment. Only with the understanding of what’s happening outside can we then implement a better judgement and recommendation of the best possible internal layout. Which areas are then the most important sectors to consider? It would be the Main Door, Kitchen and Bedrooms. The main door is the most critical factor as it is the channel through which "Qi” is being received into the house. The kitchen is another most active area therefore, we need to understand what energies that being activated. Bedrooms are our rest place in which most of us spend at least 8 hours.

The effect of “External Environment’ is far greater than “Internal Environment” because firstly, it is much larger and secondly, it is the actual source of cosmic energies. From the external, these energies or “Qi” is then received into our internal environment through our main door, doors and windows. Therefore, as long as the external environment is negative, no matter what you do with internal environment, the influence is only minimal.

Are square and rectangular plots of land better than a triangular plot of land? Generally the answer is yes because square and rectangular plots of land are easier to harness Qi or energy. The productive Qi that is preferred, is based on the balance of Yin and Yang elements. Regular plots fulfill the requirement of Chinese Ancient Art of FengShui which emphasis the ‘four gold point’ meaning four regular corners. Most Feng Shui techniques are also based on the ‘four gold point’ principle and a ‘North-South’ facing house is mush preferred. Therefore, they stand to benefit more from a Feng Shui perspective.

The Dragon relates to your left-hand side (inside your house looking out), symbolising helpful people and power. The Tiger relates to the right-hand side, symbolising negative qualities. Everything has two sides, good and bad, bright and dark, and so on, so one side of the house belongs to the Tiger and the other to the Dragon. You try to shift the balance in your favour by placing more things on the Dragon side to enhance power.
