Part 5: Male Breadwinner and the inauspicious Fire at Heaven's Gate
1. Search this forum for "Fire at Heaven's Gate" for more information.
2. Generally, having a kitchen—especially the stove—located at the NW cardinal point is considered inauspicious for the male head of the household. This placement can have negative effects on him.
3. In Feng Shui, the NW area is associated with the Heaven sign under the Ba Gua Trigram, and also represents the male elder of the house.
4. Simply put, placing and using a stove in the NW sector is believed to burn away one's Heaven luck, leading to bad fortune and potentially affecting the male-head’s career.
5. With extensive experience in reviewing units, I can readily identify stacks or units where this concern exists and highlight them to potential buyers.
6. For example, in HDB Tampines Green Dew, stack 173 has the kitchen situated within the NW sector, as shown below.
There are other stacks/units with the same concern. But I will just stop, here. This being one of the example.
