Kua 9 Kitchen — Nourishing Southeast Energy

Core placement advice

For Kua 9, nourishment aligns with Tian Yi (天醫) toward Southeast (SE). When you can choose stove or prep orientation, your body faces Southeast while cooking — Tian Yi feeds the household's health line. Kua 9's kitchen bearing is Southeast; Kua 6's is Northeast — do not copy a friend's layout.

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

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

Your Kua 9 direction map

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

Directions to avoid

Northeast (NE) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 9 — 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 Northeast is fine; active body alignment is not.

In 2026, Northeast also hosts star 5 (Five Yellow) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.

2026 overlay on your best direction

Your best bearing Southeast (SE) hosts annual star 1 (One White / 一白) in 2026. Annual star supports your personal bearing — activate with the matching element (water, metal, earth, or fire accents).
