How to Improve Your Chances of a Windfall

From the perspective of fate analysis, a person’s financial luck falls into two types: regular income and windfall income. Regular income generally means wages or salary from work, while windfall income comes from investments or speculation. People with strong windfall luck often see more financial opportunities, since wages are usually capped while windfall gains can be substantial. Here are some ways to enhance your windfall luck in daily life.

• The simplest approach is to keep a Pixiu at home or wear one. Because the Pixiu is linked to windfall luck, it’s considered an effective feng shui item, especially in fields with fluctuating income. When placing it, aim its head toward the door or a window to attract fortune. Gently rub the Pixiu from time to time, but avoid touching its mouth. If you wear a Pixiu, make sure its head faces outward. Fish-shaped accessories are also believed to bring good luck.
• You can boost your financial luck by wearing colors that correspond to the heavenly stem of your lunar birth date. Experts suggest: those born on Jia or Yi days should choose earth tones; Bing or Ding days, white; Wu or Ji days, black; Geng or Xin days, blue-green; and Ren or Gui days, red. These colors are believed to increase windfall luck. (Note: Check a lunar calendar to find the heavenly stem of your birth date. If your personal energy is weak, it’s best to consult a professional fate analyst for guidance.)
• Choose a home or workplace in the southwest or southeast near water features such as lakes, rivers, fountains, or ponds. Homes in these locations are believed to carry stronger windfall luck, which can be favorable for investments or unconventional income.
• If your windfall luck has been consistently poor—such as frequently losing at card games—consider renovating the kitchen and repairing or replacing doors and windows. Keeping vibrant green plants or hanging artwork can also help suppress bad luck and improve your fortune.
• In 2011, the windfall luck position was in the northwest, so spending more time in that area was advisable. Working or sleeping in that direction could also enhance windfall luck.
