Kua 3 Kitchen — Nourishing North Energy

Core placement advice

For Kua 3, nourishment aligns with Tian Yi (天醫) toward North (N). When you can choose stove or prep orientation, your body faces North while cooking — Tian Yi feeds the household's health line. Kua 3's kitchen bearing is North; Kua 6's is Northeast — do not copy a friend's layout.

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

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

Your Kua 3 direction map

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

Directions to avoid

West (W) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 3 — 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 West is fine; active body alignment is not.

In 2026, West also hosts star 4 (Four Green) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.

2026 overlay on your best direction

Your best bearing North (N) hosts annual star 7 (Seven Red / 七赤) in 2026. Seven Red (七赤) adds gossip and leakage risk — water tones and soft corners help; your personal bearing still works with cures.
