Feng Shui, is it important for you when buying a house?

I understand the Y & T-junctions, and the dead end, but why is it bad to have the sink facing the stove, logically speaking?

The stove in Asia represents wealth. It is also the positive energy (Khi) that ward off the dark energy (sickness, evil spirits, bad luck). The stove is the center of the family because it is responsible for cooking up the foods that feed and grow (physically and emotionally) the family and its members and keep the relationships warm.

The sink, if directly opposing the stove, possibly can put out the fire that keep the family healthy, properous and living in harmony.

I mean, is there some other feng shui reason for not having across from each other?

anyways, according to feng shui, is there a remedy, short of moving it? I do use dishwasher most of the time 🙂

It’s also important to remember…………

*You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
*You don’t spit into the wind
*You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
*And you don’t mess around with Jim………………da do da do…

Yes. An effective kitchen design is based on the work triangle.

Now, although there are configurations that follow the work triangle methodology that include having the sink and stove across from eachother, this requires a complete 180-degree turn when moving from one to the other. Other configurations that require less than 180-degree turns are significantly more efficient, and are truer to the goal of the work triangle of creating a useful efficient space.

As I said before, I only believe it just for fun. There’s really no harm in conforming to Feng Shui principles, so why not?

I just learned there should not be a tree facing the front door, even if it’s across the street over at your neighbors’.

Here is what the Feng Shui master told me:

You should cut down the tree; but if it’s big tree, you should first ask for permission from the gods of the 5 elements.

Pray silently.

If it’s not your tree, try to convince the neighbors to cut it down.

Cutting down the tree improves the flow of Chi (energy).

A house that has a tree facing the front door will be inauspicious for the inhabitants.

First, it will be difficult to find a partner and get married. You will encounter obstacles in many aspects of your life.

If the house has children inhabitants, the children will get sick more frequently.

Trees on the side of the entry door are fine. But the tree should never be right in front of the door.

Many suburban houses have a hardscape walkway to the sidewalk. That’s a lot nicer (landscape wise) and better Feng Shui.

An L type walk-way from the driveway to the front entrance is not as good. A tree in front of the entry door is worse.
