The Money or Fortune Frog
Good fortune and prosperity
1. Frogs are said to bring fortune and luck.
In many Asian cultures, the frog or toad represents the yin side of nature, symbolizes the moon and can bring healing and prosperity. The Money Frog or Fortune Frog, called "Chan Chu" in Chinese, is particularly attuned as a conduit for the positive energy transfer of good fortune and prosperity.
The Money Frog (actually a three-legged toad), often holds a coin in its mouth and has a string of coins around his feet. He is thought to be the Chinese God of Wealth's personal pet. The frog representing the flow of wealth, money and luck, should be placed either facing a main entrance, or in the northern (career) area or in the southeastern (wealth) area to activate the flow of prosperity in your life. In a store, it should be placed prominently near the cash register, facing the direction of the door.
A family of frogs living in your garden are said to bring good luck to your home and all it's occupants.

The Chinese Horse
Success, fame, endurance, courage and speed
4.The Horse symbolizes success, loyalty, courage, speed and endurance. It is also said the horse can bring about career success, business cures and stimulate a good reputation.
In Feng Shui, the Horse, either walking or running, can re-focus one's energy onto the path of success or fame. However, it can also bring excessive Yang energy, due to it's association with the element of fire, so be sure to balance it with a Yin energy symbol.
Place two horses together for a strong partnership in business or marriage. Horses should face the door or window. A Horse placed in the southwest of any room will energize luck in social interactions and in the northwest corner it will assist with a test or trial.
The Lucky Money Cat
Money luck, business, wealth, prosperity and opportunities
5. The Money Cat's beckoning paw signifies wealth arriving. She attracts money luck, prosperity and new opportunities.
Cats are also able to see in the dark and will frighten away evil spirits that have bad intentions toward your success.
The Money Cat is best-placed on your office desk, or next to a cash register. In your home, you should display the symbol of the cat in the southeastern, (wealth) area, or in the northeastern (inner knowledge) area.
The Chinese Cranes
Longevity, health, happiness, wisdom and good luck
Cranes Symbolize Longevity
6.
The Crane is associated with longevity, health, happiness, wisdom and good luck.
The White Crane can fly to the heavens and it is a Chinese symbol for "wisdom" and is sometimes called the "heavenly" or "blessed" Crane.
Birds in general, bring good luck when placed in the South facing side of your room. However the keeping of caged birds is bad Feng Shui, as this represents confinement and the stunting of growth.
The Wise Old Elephant
Strength, wisdom, prosperity, good luck and prudence
As one of the oldest and most revered of the animal symbols, the elephant amasses great knowledge, wisdom, strength, and power as it grows to a very old age.
Elephants should be placed high upon a mantel, shelf or on an altar for recognition and should have their trunks facing upward, as if trumpeting the good news. They can be placed in the entrance hall, but NOT directly facing the door. The placement of a Frog on an Elephant, or a Monkey on an Elephant, in the North is often thought to promote career stability.
