Turtle, Dragon Turtle, and the Three-legged Toad in Feng Shui

These 3 auspicious animals are popular in the Chinese community. They look similar but with different functions and characters. Below are some of their basic application in Feng Shui.

Turtle

Turtle is a symbol of support, long life, stability, and power. It is not as fierce as a dragon or lion but can bring support and energy without direct fighting. It is gentle and slow, but steady and positive.

In the area of the house that needs support, you can place a sculpture of a turtle to boost the energy there. For example, if you have missing corners or lack of a proper backyard. It can also reduce the exterior “Sha Qi” when facing the front door or window.

Dragon Turtle

Dragon turtle has both advantages of a dragon and a turtle. It can be placed facing out of the front window or door to counter the negative “Sha Qi” nearby. For example, if the road is leading straight to the front door, a sharp angle pointing to the house, or “Yin” types of buildings such as temple, cemetery, jail and so on. Dragon turtle can be a remedy to balance out the nearby Sha Qi.

Dragon Turtle can also bring career advancement and success. It can reduce the backstabbing or gossiping, and attract helpful people. Since the dragon is the male energy. You can place the Dragon Turtle sculpture on the right side (the male energy side) of the office desk for business luck and increase the authority.

Dragon turtle can also bring money luck when placed in a money section of the house, or near a water feature.

Three-legged frog or Money toad

This is the classic money-making Feng Shui cure. It is said this legendary toad has only 3 legs, keeps spitting out coins to the owner, and never leaks any money. This sculpture is best to be placed facing indoor so the money does not go out of the door.

Since it is related to money, it is best to place the three-legged frog in a money corner or money section of the house. Adding a money jar with real money can enhance the money Qi too.

The Jin Chan (Chinese: 金蟾; pinyin: jīn chán; literally "Golden Toad"), also called Chan Chu (Chinese: 蟾蜍; pinyin: chánchú; literally "the Toad") or "Zhaocai Chan Chu" (Chinese: 招财蟾蜍; pinyin:zhāocái chánchú; literally "wealth-beckoning toad"), is most commonly translated as "Money Toad" or "Money Frog". It represents a popular Feng Shui charm for prosperity.

This mythical creature is said to appear during the full moon, near houses or businesses that will soon receive good news (most of the time, the nature of this good news is understood to be wealth-related).

According to one Chinese legend, the Jin Chan was the greedy wife of one of the Eight Immortals, who was transformed into a toad as punishment for stealing the Peaches of Immortality.[1]

It is usually depicted as a bullfrog with red eyes, flared nostrils and only one hind leg, sitting on a pile of traditional Chinese cash, with a coin in its mouth. On its back, it often displays seven diamond spots symbolizing the Big Dipper, which plays an important role in Chinese astrology.
