It is not auspicious for the stove to face the sink. When the sink and the stove are directly opposite, it can cause great damage to the kitchen, and such a layout can greatly affect the family's fortune. On one hand, the kitchen is where food is cooked, and any problems here can significantly affect the health and fortune of the family members, leading to declining physical health. On the other hand, when the sink and the stove are opposite, the energy field becomes very chaotic, which is unfavorable for family relationships and can disrupt family harmony.
