The three-legged money toad (sometimes you can also find its other names: money or three-legged frog, Money Frog) is a powerful symbol in the Feng Shui culture, which symbolizes the growth of abundance in the family, great financial success, wealth and longevity. Not everyone believes in this, but the number of requests to search engines with the text “Where should I put the Feng Shui frog?” it's just off the charts. Let's figure out what the Feng Shui meaning of a frog is, how to activate it and how to place it correctly.

Money Toad – a symbol of financial abundance

This is interesting: There are several different versions about where the three-toed toad came from. Let's talk about the most popular. According to legend, there once lived a cruel and greedy robber who robbed and killed all travelers who met on his way - regardless of whether they were rich or poor. The mountain of looted treasures grew quickly, but this was still not enough for the robber. He even robbed the deities who in that era lived on Earth side by side with people. Many were intimidated by such atrocities and were afraid of falling under the hand of this robber. People gathered for a council, where they decided to turn to the local gods with a request to help cope with such a scourge. There was no need to beg the gods for a long time. They consulted among themselves and then called the Supreme Buddha. The latter turned the evil robber into a three-toed frog, which is now destined to forever pay for the atrocities he caused.

The meaning of the talisman according to Feng Shui

According to Feng Shui, the three-legged toad brings success, wealth and accompanies financial transactions. In addition, she is also the keeper of the hearth and wealth. You must acquire this wonderful talisman - and it will bring real wealth to your home.

The Chinese make a toad sitting on stacks of coins or full-fledged gold bars. There must be a coin with a hole in the middle sticking out of her mouth. It is this attribute that attracts money.

The Chinese often “put” a toad on gold coins

Currency frog options

The frog is a very fashionable creature that has a tendency to frequently change its own style and appears in front of people in different forms:

  • In the form of a toad sitting on a large mountain with coins. Such a frog is designed to make its owner financially independent and promote foreign currency savings.
  • A frog with the Ba Gua sign on it. Ba Gua is a sacred octagon in Feng Shui, and any of its sides is associated with one of the elements.

In some images, the sign represents the base of a mountain with coins on which an animal sits. The introduction of such a talisman will help achieve financial well-being for all owners of the house. In addition to material profits, a currency toad with the symbols of Ba Gua will protect your home from negative energy.

  • Frog with Hotei. The sacred deity Hotei symbolizes contentment with life and prosperity. He is depicted as a smiling Buddha and is designed to attract fortune in work and promote career advancement. You can count on having a good career and this will be fraught with the highest monetary profits.
  • A toad holding a coin in its mouth. With all this, it is important that the coin lies with the image of the symbols facing up and it can simply be taken out of the frog’s mouth. A similar talisman will protect its owner from unnecessary expenses, which steal a huge part of the funds.
  • A frog whose mouth is open. To activate such a talisman, you need to place a coin or bill in his mouth. By installing this option of a money toad in your home, you will significantly increase your own savings.

Fascinating detail. An ancient belief says that if a currency frog suddenly spits out a coin or bill from its own mouth, you can prepare for significant cash receipts.

The role of the material

In China, gold-colored metals or semi-precious stones are traditionally used to make money frog figurines. From time to time there are also talismans made of mahogany. Their purpose is to enhance the energy of health, not money. In this case, the wooden figurine is placed in the eastern zone of the home.

If you want to have a toad to prosper and protect your business, talismans created from the green semi-precious and very beautiful jadeite stone are perfect. By the way, jadeite is a protective talisman for Taurus according to the horoscope.

Figures that are cast from real gold or bronze are of great value. The Chinese are confident that gold and products made from this metal are themselves a symbol of great wealth. The figurine of a three-toed toad only doubles their impact.

Useful information: When buying an amulet, be sure to pay attention to whether a coin was glued to the toad’s mouth. It shouldn't be fixed there. But there is an exception: such a figure will be useful for people who do not know how to control their own expenses. Sometimes there may be 3 coins in the toad’s mouth at once, and sometimes not a single one. In this situation, there should be a hole inside her mouth into which you can insert it. It is also important that the coin is turned with hieroglyphs upward.

The hieroglyphs on the coin should be turned up

Where to put?

In Feng Shui there can be no trifles or insignificant moments. Therefore, you need to know where to place the money toad in order for it to actually attract financial success to you. Incorrect use of traditional talismans can, on the contrary, be harmful.

The three-toed frog is afraid of heights, so Feng Shui experts advise placing this figurine on a small table or bedside table. The main thing is that it is not high, but not on the floor. Also, you can’t plant it in front of you.

The money frog is often placed with its back to the front door of the house. Thus, it appears that she has just jumped into the house, bringing money and good fortune with her. If she is turned to face the exit, according to the principles of Feng Shui, she will only take money away from your home.

The toad can also be placed closer to the southeastern sector of the house, as it is considered the sector of wealth. It is important that she does not look at other doors or windows in the house. Only when the toad’s gaze is directed inside the room does the energy of wealth go straight to you.

Another option is the living room. To be more precise, the left corner of the living room, located diagonally from the entrance. We will not go into details, but simply note that the Chinese call it the “angle of Power”.

An aquarium is the best place to store a money frog.

Finally, the most advantageous place for a frog is inside the aquarium. It in itself is considered a talisman of prosperity and financial stability, but if you put a toad in it, the effect will be even stronger and more targeted.

Some sources advise using not one, but 9 money toads at the same time. If you are interested in this idea, place each figure in a separate sector of Ba Gua. Moreover, they still need to be hidden so that strangers do not see the toad. If you don’t have reliable shelters for 9 talismans, use 3 or 6.

A talisman made of jadeite can be placed not only in your apartment, but also in your office. The same rules apply: use a compass to find the southeastern (money) sector of the home and place a figurine in it, turning it so that its eyes look deep into the room. If you place a money toad on the table, it is best to use the upper left corner of your desktop.

This is interesting: It is strictly not recommended to place a three-toed frog in the bathroom, kitchen, toilet or bedroom. It also shouldn't be located directly in front of you.

Story

There is a legend that the money toad was once a person with a very bad character. This man brought a lot of trouble to people, robbed travelers, and hid the taken property in a cave. One fine day, people got tired of enduring his robber attacks, and they called on the gods for help.

The prayers were heard by the gods, and they demanded that the criminal return the seized property to the owners. He, like a true negative hero, refused to obey and paid for it. The gods punished him by turning him into a frog. But even after turning out to be a toad, the man did not repent of his crimes and continued to guard his treasures. Then the gods took away one of his paws, depriving him of the ability to move long distances. To stop the criminal from spewing curses, the gods made sure that every evil word dropped turned into a stolen treasure. Based on this legend, the money frog talisman was formed.

Another story tells that the frog was originally an amphibious creature. But the soul was bad. Buddha got angry and punished the toad for his nasty character by taking away one of its paws. To whitewash the toad’s evil deeds, he turned it into one serving for the benefit of people. Since then, the toad has become a mascot. People all over the world sincerely believe that a three-legged amphibian can turn their lives around and send them a sea of ​​wealth.

How to activate the talisman?

It is necessary to remember one very important point: just buying a frog is not enough. This talisman still needs to be activated correctly. Only then will it serve its intended purposes. According to Feng Shui, you need to place the figurine in a small container of water and leave it there for a whole day. After this period has expired, remove the toad and place it, without wiping it, in the place prepared for it.

If the toad is red, it is already activated

There is another way to activate this symbolic talisman by using the color red. By the way, if the figurine you purchased has red eyes, or if it is already decorated with red decorative elements, then you don’t have to do anything. This means that your talisman of financial success has already been activated. If you haven’t found a red color, place the frog on a bright red napkin or tie a ribbon or thread of the same color on it. This action can attract powerful and beneficial energy of abundance into your home.

If you want to create the most comfortable conditions for your frog, wash it regularly under running tap water at least twice a week. In this case, the financial talisman will not just sit idle on the shelf, but will use all its power and bring you a lot more money.

Useful information: If you suddenly need urgent financial help, simply place the frog talisman in a container filled with clean water (you can use a fountain or even an aquarium with fish) for 24 hours. Then take it out and, without wiping it, put it in its original place.

Money Frog will turn you into a money magnet!

Let's sum it up

According to Feng Shui, the financial frog is a very powerful talisman that needs to be approached. Experts in Eastern teachings recommend that each owner communicate with her as if she were alive. You can tell her about your financial plans, and also ask for advice before an important matter. A grateful animal will definitely help attract monetary benefits into life.

By the way, owners of suburban areas often live next door to real frogs, which are also capable of attracting financial well-being. Whether or not to believe in the effect of oriental symbols is up to each person, but the power of the ancient talisman has been successfully tested for several centuries.

We answer frequently asked questions

Finally, we will answer the most common questions related to the wealth frog.

  • How to pronounce the name correctly - toad or frog? In China there is no fundamental difference between these two concepts. Most likely, there was simply an error when translating the Chinese manuscripts. So both options are correct.
  • Does the size of the mascot matter? Yes, such a dependence really exists. The larger your toad, the greater the amount of money it will bring. But it is also important to compare the size of the talisman with the environment around it in the house. It’s just that if a huge figurine stands inside a small room, all the thoughts of the residents of this house will concentrate on money. It will be difficult for them to live normally.
  • What should you do if you lose a coin from a toad's mouth? In this case, you need to try to get a new coin. Moreover, this must be done in the near future. Otherwise, the frog may become “offended” by you and stop patronizing your financial well-being.
  • Does mascot design matter? Pay attention, first of all, to its aesthetic characteristics. You should really like the frog figurine. With regard to other design nuances, there are no strict requirements. Feng Shui experts are silent even about the gender of the toad (whether it should be a boy or a girl).
  • What should you do if the talisman breaks? The main thing is don’t panic and don’t think that this is a bad omen. But you cannot continue to store a broken talisman in the house. Just wrap it in a napkin and throw it away, replacing it with a new toad. However, it is better to just try to handle the money toad carefully.

Lost a coin or broke a toad?

When choosing and purchasing a talisman, consider the size of your apartment. If the apartment is large, then the toad should be large. If the apartment is small, then the toad should not be large, or all the residents of the house will think only about money.

There should always be a coin in the toad's mouth, this is the only way the talisman can work. If you lose a coin, you need to quickly find a new coin to replace the previous one. A toad without a coin will not work, but will simply stand like a figurine.

In addition to the fact that you need to follow all the rules and advice, you also need to believe. It has long been proven that if you believe in the power of a talisman, then it will work. Therefore, by placing a frog in the Wealth sector and believing in its power, you will attract wealth and good luck into your life!
