The male cat raised his right hand, symbolizing lucky money and luck. The mother cat raised her left hand, symbolizing a wide range of good relations and thousands of guests.

How to find out the financial situation
Kong Xuan Decline and Prosperity Act
The Kong Xuan School calls the lucky one a positive position (prosperity), while the unlucky one a zero position (decline). This is not absolute, because the zero god will turn from decline to prosperity at the sight of water, and this declining party is limited by time. From 2004 to 2023, the positive god position was in the northeast and the zero god position was in the southwest, indicating that the northeast was a financial position.
Purple and white flying star method
According to the formula of fleeting flying stars, the flying stars of 1, No.6 and No.8 are prosperous. This prosperous position is a fleeting financial position. He entered the palace on the 8th this year, and flew to the west, the middle and the east on the 1st, 6th and 8th respectively. Seven stars will enter the palace next year, and the first, sixth and eighth stars will fly to the northeast, southeast and northwest respectively. There are also three kinds of fleeting financial positions, namely, prosperous, second prosperous and prosperous, among which eight white stars are prosperous, so the middle position of the family this year and the northwest position next year will be fleeting financial positions. The advantage of fleeting financial situation is that it comes quickly, but the disadvantage is that it doesn't last long.
Eight-room method
According to the divination of the person in charge (the person with the highest income in the family), look at the list and calculate the position of the "angry side", which is also commonly known as the financial position. Because there is only one person with the highest income in the family, and his "angry side" is also the financial situation of the whole family, you can also refer to the following list to see where the financial situation is.
The list is divided into two parts: men and women. For example, men born in 1950 are in the northeast, and women born in 1950 are in the southeast.
Dark financial situation method
This method of hiding wealth has always been used in commercial places. In the past twenty years, feng shui masters in Hong Kong and Taiwan have all changed their residence. They divided the living room into nine directions according to the map of Jiugong, and then chose purple and white flying stars according to the sitting direction of the house. Its advantage is simple and direct, but its disadvantage is that financial resources are scattered, and financial resources often appear in more than two places. So the secret of feng shui is to put one of the financial resources in the money box.
Method of clearing financial situation
The method is simple, but the effect is not too high. It is only a symbolic financial position, that is, the position of the entrance "slash". For example, the door is in the middle, the financial position is around the "left diagonal line", the door is on the left, the financial position is on the right and the financial position is on the left of the "left diagonal line". A simple sentence is to see the diagonal of the living room when you enter the door.
