Six Emperor Coins: Feng Shui Use & Placement Guide

What Are Six Emperor Coins?

Six Emperor Coins are a specific feng shui cure consisting of six replica Chinese coins from the most prosperous emperors of the Qing Dynasty, tied together with red or yellow cord. They serve as a compact, highly effective Metal element remedy designed to suppress volatile spatial energy.

Why It’s Used in Feng Shui

In feng shui theory, Six Emperor Coins are used because they combine the exact elemental material (Metal) with the most potent feng shui numerology for that element. In the I-Ching, the number 6 represents the Chien trigram, the symbol of strong, authoritative Metal energy. They are used to quietly drain hostile Earth-based afflictions like the Star 5 and Star 2.

Where to Place It

• Hung on a door handle: If a hostile flying star lands at your main entrance, hanging the coins on the inside handle ensure the Metal energy interacts with the Qi every time the door is opened.
• Hidden under a floor rug: A discreet way to suppress negative energy rising from the floor level without altering your decor.

What It Addresses

• ✦ Counters: Star 5 Yellow (Disaster Star) because the strong Metal frequency of the six coins safely exhausts the destructive Earth energy.
• ✦ Counters: Star 2 Black (Illness Star) because the Metal element drains the stagnant Earth energy responsible for fatigue.

2026 Placement Note

In 2026, the dangerous Star 5 Yellow resides in the South. Taping a set of Six Emperor Coins under furniture or hanging them in the South sector provides a silent, constant Metal exhaustion cure without agitating the Tai Sui.

Choosing One

Replicas work perfectly as long as they are made of real metal (brass or bronze). Avoid lightweight plastic coins, as they lack the physical mass required to generate a Metal elemental field.
