Wealth God Direction for the Current Hour
Where Is the Wealth God Today?
Today (2026-4-2), the Wealth God direction is North. If you're playing Mahjong or card games, try to face North when picking your seat โ this is traditionally believed to boost your luck with money.
But here's the thing most people miss: the Wealth God direction changes every two hours. The 12-period table above shows exactly where the Wealth God moves throughout the day. Slots marked "Auspicious" are the best times to play.
Besides the Wealth God, today's Joy God is at Varies by Hour (great for celebrations) and the Fortune God is at Varies by Hour (good for safety and health).

๐งญ Should I Face or Back the Direction?
Best practice: face toward the Wealth God direction. If the seats are fixed, sitting with the Wealth God behind you also works. Today that means facing North โ use your phone's compass app to find it.
๐ When's the Best Time to Play?
Check the table above โ time slots marked "Auspicious" are your best bet. Starting a game during a lucky hour AND facing the Wealth God? That's double the good energy.
๐ก Does the Direction Really Change?
Yes! Every two hours (one Chinese "Shi Chen"), the Wealth God shifts position. If you're playing for a while, the direction may have changed mid-game. Check the hourly table to stay updated.
๐ฏ What Else Can I Do?
Wear today's lucky outfit color for extra feng shui power. Also check today's almanac for clash info โ avoid sitting next to someone whose zodiac clashes with the day.
How Is the Wealth God Direction Calculated?
Quick answer: It's based on the Heavenly Stem (ๅคฉๅนฒ) of the day and hour. Each of the 10 Heavenly Stems maps to a fixed Wealth God direction.
The mapping: Jia โ Northeast, Yi โ Northeast, Bing โ West, Ding โ West, Wu โ North, Ji โ North, Geng โ East, Xin โ East, Ren โ South, Gui โ South. The hourly Wealth God follows the same logic but uses the hour's Heavenly Stem.
