Dear Anon,

1. Under the Flying Star Theory, one has to look at the top two stars in addition to the base star.

One should not look just at the base star in isolation. For example, you mentioned that (2) is at West in the kitchen.

Under the Flying Star Theory, one has to look at the relationship between the two stars e.g. mountain and water star and relate this to the base star.

If for example one element for the water star is `bad' and it is helped by another element that assists the bad star e.g. water assists wood and in turn there is a sickness star at the base, one has to analyse all three and come up with a solution to balance it. E.g. introducing fire element to counter the water/wood bad sector.

One should not simply `pluck' a number and look at it in isolation.

Sometimes, even if the base number is `bad' but if the mountain and water star numbers are good, it may have the strength to neutralise it.

2. In the kitchen, priority should be given to Shapes and form Feng Shui. Some important considerations are:-

1. If the knobs of the stove are not pointing skywards but at the side, it should preferably face inwards from the main entrance door. To keep the warmth.

2. Another consideration is that there should be an `island' or separation between it and water positions.

If the kitchen is at the North, one should not allow it to face a water position. As the North is of the water element and the significance is that it is harder to retain the `heat/warmth' at this location and a water position opposite the stove will die off.

Contrast this to the kitchen at the South (Fire). At this location, one can still place a water position e.g. a frige opposite it to cool the heat at this location.

3. In "modern" Feng Shui, one should be concerned for the above rather than `crack' our heads as to the position of the stove etc...

4. More attention should instead be placed at the bedroom and the main entrance locations.

Unless one uses the kitchen for business, one need not spent so much time at it.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
