Stove Direction and Taboos in Feng Shui
1. Stove Should Not Face the Opposite of the House
In Feng Shui, the direction of the stove is determined by the entrance where firewood is brought in. In modern stoves, the direction is determined by the stove's switch. If we consider the kitchen alone, the position diagonally opposite the kitchen door is a place where energy gathers. Installing the stove there allows it to face the door diagonally, avoiding conflict with the door while still igniting the positive energy coming from the door, which benefits the household's fortune.
2. Stove Should Not Be in the Northwest Direction
The northwest direction belongs to Qian. According to the "House Classic," it says, "Qian is the gate of heaven." Therefore, the northwest room should not be used as a kitchen. If the kitchen stove is located in the northwest Qian direction, it would violate Feng Shui principles, creating a situation known as "fire burning the gate of heaven," which can harm the head of the family. Following the traditional north-south orientation, the saying "toilet upstairs, kitchen downstairs" also applies to this principle.
In Feng Shui, the wealth area should not be contaminated. Therefore, placing the kitchen or bathroom over the wealth area is extremely bad. The most easily identifiable wealth area in a home is the clear wealth area. It is present in every family and is located on the diagonal opposite the front door. For example, if the house door opens on the right, the wealth area will be at the top end of the left diagonal.
4. Stove Should Not Be Too Close to the Sink
The stove should not be at the same level as the sink or too close to it, as this creates a Feng Shui configuration of water and fire clashing, leading to conflicting elements and negative energies that affect the kitchen's Feng Shui. Therefore, when arranging the kitchen, paying attention to how far the stove is from the water source is one of the most important aspects.
