Stove Part 1

Did you know that in fengshui, placement of stove is very important? If stove is placed in the correct position, it will bring prosperity and harmony to family. On the other hand, when a stove position is placed in unfavourable position, it will bring adverse effect.

Just to share a little bit on the past, in the olden days, stove was never located in the house West sector or facing west. The reason? Sunset is in the west, with such a strong sun glare in the evening, would the person cooking in the west sector feel comfortable? However, with our modern living, even having a stove in the west or facing west is no longer a problem. This glaring problem can be solve with a window blind.

A general rule of thumb for placement of stove is, one should avoid placing stove in the North-west sector. As North-west is representing father or heaven in Gua ( 8 Trigram), therefore having a stove in North-west is as good as burning father or heaven, which is deemed to be inauspicious. If stove is located in North-west sector, it should be quickly solved using fengshui cure or stove should be relocated to a favourable location based on the breadwinner's bazi.

If you are uncertain on your house stove position, you should consult a master for advise.
