In feng shui the kitchen symbolizes the 'wealth store' and family health, with the stove at its core. Done well, it guards wealth and health. Here are the keys.
Keep water and fire apart
The stove (fire) shouldn't sit right beside or facing the sink or fridge (water). A clash of water and fire can affect health β keep counter space between them.
Stove not facing a door
A stove facing the kitchen door or front door lets wealth and 'fire energy' escape. Reposition it or add a partition.
Keep it clean and dry
The kitchen is your wealth store β keep it clean, dry and leak-free. A leak symbolizes leaking wealth; fix it promptly.
Store knives away
Keep knives and sharp tools in a drawer or block, out of sight, to avoid creating harsh energy.
Fixes & lucky tips
Tip: a clean stove with steady flame symbolizes steady income; don't hoard expired food in the fridge so your wealth store stays full and flowing.
