Kua 4 Kitchen — Nourishing South Energy

Core placement advice

For Kua 4, nourishment aligns with Tian Yi (天醫) toward South (S). When you can choose stove or prep orientation, your body faces South while cooking — Tian Yi feeds the household's health line. Kua 4's kitchen bearing is South; Kua 6's is Northeast — do not copy a friend's layout.

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

Fixed galley? Place the cutting board and main prep zone on the South run; keep trash and clutter on Southeast (SE) if needed.

Directions to avoid

Northwest (NW) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 4 — 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 Northwest is fine; active body alignment is not.

In 2026, Northwest also hosts star 3 (Three Jade) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.

2026 overlay on your best direction

Your best bearing South (S) hosts annual star 6 (Six White / 六白) in 2026. Six White (六白) adds mentor and authority energy — good for recovery sleep with a tidy, uncluttered wall.
