The Belief Behind “Sweeping Away Wealth”
The idea that broom placement can lead to sweeping away wealth stems from the symbolic connection between brooms and energy flow. Here are some key positions to avoid:

Placing the Broom at the Entrance: Positioning a broom near or behind the main door is a common mistake. The main entrance is considered the “mouth” of the home in Feng Shui, where energy flows in and out. A broom at this location is believed to “sweep out” wealth and opportunities before they have a chance to settle in your home.

Leaving the Broom Upside Down: An upside-down broom is often seen as an invitation for chaos. This placement disrupts the balance of energies and creates an environment where financial losses or conflicts can arise.

Storing the Broom in the Kitchen: Kitchens are symbolic of nourishment and abundance. Placing a broom in this space is thought to disrupt the energy of prosperity and health, leading to scarcity or financial challenges.

Leaning the Broom in Common Areas: When a broom is casually placed in shared spaces like the living room, it may metaphorically “sweep away” family harmony and cooperation, impacting the overall well-being of the household.
