The direction of the stove usually follows the principle of "sitting on the凶 (evil) and facing the吉 (good) " in Feng Shui, which means placing the stove in the evil position of the home, while the stove's opening faces the good position. Generally, the good position can be determined based on a person's birth element. For example, for a person with a "Yang Metal" birth element, the favorable elements are water, so the direction of water is the east. Therefore, the stove should face the east to benefit from the Feng Shui energy, allowing the stove to absorb wealth energy and enhance the family's fortune.
In Feng Shui, the stove should generally not be placed in the center of the kitchen. The center of the kitchen is usually a place with strong fire energy. If the stove is placed there, it will definitely disrupt the kitchen's Feng Shui and cause disputes among family members due to excessive fire energy.
Which is better, the stove on the east wall or the west wall?
Placing the stove against the west wall symbolizes welcoming the purple qi from the east, which is beneficial for the family's luck.
1. A stove that sits facing east has a "fire" nature, which is Yang, suitable for families with four Yang individuals or families where all members are mainly Yang.
2. A stove that sits facing west has a "Yin Fire" nature, which is Yin, suitable for families with four Yin individuals or families where all members are mainly Yin.
For the location of the vegetable washing sink, we should preferably choose a place by the window.
1. The washing sink and the stove should not face each other.
The washing sink produces water energy, and the stove produces fire energy. According to the Five Elements theory, water and fire are in conflict, which can be dangerous, leading to career setbacks and marital conflicts, causing family disharmony. Therefore, the stove should not face the washing sink or refrigerator, nor should it be adjacent to the water basin.
2. The washing sink and stove should ideally sit facing south and back to north.
According to kitchen Feng Shui, the north wall has the best magnetic field. The ideal location for the washing sink and stove should be sitting facing south and back to north, i.e., against the north wall. A washing sink and stove against the north wall help gather the positive energy from the north, which contributes to the prosperity of the family business.
