The #1 Rule: The Stove
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Stove NOT opposite sink/fridge | Fire vs Water clash (水火相冲) — leads to arguments and health issues. |
| Cook should NOT face away from door | Command position principle. Fix: small mirror behind stove. |
| Keep stove clean, use ALL burners | Unused burners = untapped wealth potential. |
| Stove NOT facing bathroom | Bathroom's dirty energy contaminates nourishing fire = digestive + financial drain. |
Fire-Water Balance Fixes
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Stove across from sink | Wood element between them (cutting board, green plant, wooden shelf) |
| Stove next to fridge | Wooden board between them. Minimum 12 inches apart. |
| Stove under window | Chi escapes. Add curtain or valance above stove. |
| Stove visible from front door | Wealth exposed. Add screen or partition. Otherwise: keep immaculate. |
Kitchen Colors
| Good ✅ | Avoid ❌ |
|---|---|
| White — clean metal, supports earth | All red — too much fire, arguments |
| Light green — wood feeds fire | All black — water-fire conflict |
| Warm earth tones — beige, cream | Dark blue — same conflict |
| Light wood — natural warmth | Only stark white — too cold |
Quick Checklist
| ☐ Stove clean, all burners work |
| ☐ No stove/sink facing each other |
| ☐ Fresh fruit bowl on counter (abundance) |
| ☐ Knives stored away (not exposed) |
| ☐ No leaking faucets (money draining) |
| ☐ Good lighting, no dark corners |
| ☐ Fresh herbs on windowsill |
