Kua 7 Kitchen — Nourishing Southwest Energy

Core placement advice

For Kua 7, nourishment aligns with Tian Yi (天醫) toward Southwest (SW). When you can choose stove or prep orientation, your body faces Southwest while cooking — Tian Yi feeds the household's health line. Kua 7's kitchen bearing is Southwest; Kua 6's is Northeast — do not copy a friend's layout.

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

Fixed galley? Place the cutting board and main prep zone on the Southwest run; keep trash and clutter on West (W) if needed.

Your Kua 7 direction map

• Sheng Qi (生氣): Northwest (NW) — wealth & action
• Tian Yi (天醫): Southwest (SW) — health & recovery
• Yan Nian (延年): Northeast (NE) — relationships
• Fu Wei (伏位): West (W) — stability
• Jue Ming (絕命): South (S) — avoid for bed/desk/sofa

Directions to avoid

South (S) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 7 — 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 South is fine; active body alignment is not.

In 2026, South also hosts star 6 (Six White) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.

2026 overlay on your best direction

Your best bearing Southwest (SW) hosts annual star 8 (Eight White / 八白) in 2026. Annual star supports your personal bearing — activate with the matching element (water, metal, earth, or fire accents).
