Ritual for Inviting in the God of Wealth for 2022

This year, the direction the God of Wealth comes from is the SOUTHEAST.

On the first day, the daily Lo Shu number 8 shines in the South sector. This brings immense good luck to homes that face South, or that have main entrances located In the South sector. Homes that face South will thus enjoy plenty of wealth, prosperity, and unexpected career advancements if they invite the God of Wealth to come into their home.

When you are ready, you can start to receive the God of Wealth at the auspicious time selected. Light the candles on the altar in your home and turn on all the lights, and open all doors and windows. Make three prostrations to the Deities on your altar, then light the candle and 3 large incense sticks on the small table set up outside the house.

The Patriarch of the family should hold the large incense sticks and prostrate to the God of Wealth. When making prayers, he should hold the incense stick in both hands and kneel down.
