Now, when you visit shops or commercial streets, you often see gold toads placed on counters or other places. They not only have an aesthetic function, but also can enhance one's fortune. Below, we will introduce the proper ways to place the gold toad. (This is for reference only. If you want to make money, you need to do more almsgiving with wealth, which is the fundamental way. Almsgiving with wealth means giving your money or resources to others, helping the poor, the orphaned, the elderly, and the sick.)

Gold Toad: An excellent tool for enhancing wealth, it has three legs, a back with the Big Dipper constellation, a mouth holding two strings of copper coins, and a head with the Taiji diagram. It is especially suitable for side doors, such as lottery, stock markets, and casinos.

The gold toad comes in two types: one with coins in its mouth and one without:

1. For the one with coins in its mouth, when placing it, the head should face inward, toward the company or home, and should not face the door, company entrance, or house door, otherwise all the money it spits out will go outside, and it won't be able to enhance the flow of wealth;

2. For the one without coins in its mouth, the opposite applies, the head should face the door, company entrance, or house door, to attract wealth into the house. Note that when the head faces the outside, it should not directly face the main door, but should be slightly offset to avoid offending the door god.

Time and Direction for Placing the Gold Toad

For any consecrated gold toad, the time of its first placement is important. Choose the period between 7 and 9 o'clock in the morning, which is considered the most favorable time of the day, also known as the "dragon's head-up" hour. Since lucky items are specially treated, it is beneficial to use them during a good time. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone complete the hanging and placement of their lucky items during the "Chen hour". When wearing or placing the gold toad, one should have a sincere attitude, wash hands and face, clean the surface where it will be placed, and silently recite the wish you want to achieve, then it can be worn or placed.

In addition to the general directions for placing the gold toad with or without coins, it is best to find the owner's eight characters and the five elements to determine the wealth position, and place the gold toad there for the best effect!
