Kua 1 Kitchen — Nourishing East Energy

Core placement advice

For Kua 1, nourishment aligns with Tian Yi (天醫) toward East (E). When you can choose stove or prep orientation, your body faces East while cooking — Tian Yi feeds the household's health line. Kua 1's kitchen bearing is East; Kua 6's is Northeast — do not copy a friend's layout.

Store knives and cleavers closed, not displayed toward Southwest (SW). If counters are fixed, activate East with herbs, good light, and clean surfaces. Never prep for long periods facing Southwest — Jue Ming (絕命) turns nourishment into drain for this Kua.

Fixed galley? Place the cutting board and main prep zone on the East run; keep trash and clutter on North (N) if needed.

Your Kua 1 direction map

• Sheng Qi (生氣): Southeast (SE) — wealth & action
• Tian Yi (天醫): East (E) — health & recovery
• Yan Nian (延年): South (S) — relationships
• Fu Wei (伏位): North (N) — stability
• Jue Ming (絕命): Southwest (SW) — avoid for bed/desk/sofa

Directions to avoid

Southwest (SW) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 1 — the most draining bearing in your personal map. Long exposure here in the kitchen affects sleep quality, income focus, or household tension depending on room use. Toilet, closet, or utility placement on Southwest is fine; active body alignment is not.

In 2026, Southwest also hosts star 8 (Eight White) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.

2026 overlay on your best direction

Your best bearing East (E) hosts annual star 9 (Nine Purple / 九紫) in 2026. Nine Purple (九紫) supports renewal and visibility — strong for rest when the room stays calm and dark at night.
