Lore of the Money Frog The money frog, also called the three-legged toad or money toad, comes from Chinese folklore. According to legend, a woman stole the elixir of immortality from one of the eight immortals and drank it, turning her into a toad. Instead of two hind legs, the toad has the tail of the saddle bar. Frogs and toads are associated with water, which is symbolic of wealth. It is common for a money frog to have a coin in their mouth as an offering to the owner or the household where the frog lives. Placing a Money Frog Traditionally, the money frog is placed in a feng shui money area or in an asset position. This is usually the corner of the house that is diagonally across from the front door and is referred to as the primary wealth position. The opposite corner (directly across from) the primary asset position is the secondary asset position. In addition to a money frog in the money area, you can also place a second money frog next to the front door. In this case, it is important to position the frog so that it is looking into the house rather than looking outside through the entrance. You can also place a money frog so that it faces your money and success feng shui direction. Where Not To Place A Money Frog - Always position your Feng Shui money frog respectfully so it is best not to place your money frog directly on the floor but on a raised surface, such as a cupboard. The cabinet (or other surface) should be attached to a wall for support. It shouldn't be in the middle of a room, under a window, or in a hallway or traffic area. Also, it is best not to place a Feng Shui money frog in your bedroom or bathroom.
