Like many symbols in Chinese lore, the money frog came from a legend.The legend is about a frog named Chan Chu.The story begins that a wife of one of the eight immortals stole the elixir of immortality and fled to the moon.When she drank the elixir, it turned her into an ugly toad.Compassionate gods allowed her to keep the tail of a tadpole, or third leg, versus two legs of a fully developed toad.
The toad, Chan Chu, liked money, too, and was tempted into a well with gold coins.One reason wealth frogs are said to be associated with money is that they can always be found where there is water.And because water means wealth, the relationship of wealth and water were associated with the toad. It’s also said that the money frog looks like a fat coin purse, further enhancing the frog’s connotation of wealth.
Chan Chu is greedy, and this works in your favor, as she can bring you abundant blessings of money luck.She not only attracts money, but protects your wealth and guards against financial disasters.She inspires wise decisions relating to finances and spending, and can help curb the impulse to overspend.
The wealth toad can assume many forms in Feng Shui.Sometimes the toad is shown sitting on a bed of coins, and other times he is shown sitting on a bagua or holds strings of coins or gold ingots. Perhaps the most interesting aspect about the lucky money frog is their association with bad luck in finances.Chan Chu symbolizes protection and turning bad luck that causes money problems into good luck.The money frog is believed to help people end troubling bills, poor financial habits like overspending, and difficulty attracting money.
Placing the money toad
What’s most important is that the toad is placed properly in the residence. Do not place the toad on the floor, but always position the toad to look toward the door so it can gulp up money chi for the house.Position your wealth frog in the lucky corner of the room. This is the spot of greatest energy and is typically diagonal to the door and where chi is the most concentrated. If you’re interested in good news about investments, place the frog in the southeast corner of your living room. Business opportunities and career news is enhanced when a lucky money toad is placed in the north corner of generating income in your living room.

Activating your toad
In order for your toad to bring the best luck, it must be activated. Try placing your toad on red paper or tie a piece of red ribbon around it. Another key piece of the lucky toad is its coin in its mouth. Make sure your toad has a Chinese coin in its mouth and be sure the coin is turned with the Chinese writing up. Most Chinese coins have Chinese writing on one side and four symbols on the other.The symbols should always be on the underside with the Chinese writing turned up.
