We are in the process of redesigning our kitchen and, as I have just become interested in feng shui, I thought I would try to incorporate some principles. I have worked out my own and my husband's Pa Kua (mine is 7, his 6). After trying a lot of possibilities we have come the conclusion that the only place for our eye-level stove and microwave is facing south. We will have a separate hob, which will be on an island unit running N-S. From what I have read this is not very auspicious for either of us, but there are really no other practical possibilities. Also the stove will face the refrigerator, which I also believe is undesirable. Is there any thing that can be done to counteract this? My husband is the main cook - I am away from home working quite a lot. Many thanks in anticipation of a reply.
