Electrical appliances: Microwave…
Electrical appliances such as microwaves… are typically used in kitchens, but some households often place them on or even above the refrigerator. This is a taboo because when placing electrical appliances on top of the refrigerator, the excessive weight will create a burden on the refrigerator itself and increase its power consumption.
In addition, the heat emitted from these appliances will quickly damage the refrigerator. Conversely, the heat generated by the refrigerator during operation will also affect the lifespan of the electrical equipment placed on top.
In terms of feng shui, placing electrical appliances on top of the refrigerator affects wealth accumulation.
Fabric
Some families cover their refrigerators with fabric to prevent dust accumulation. However, this is also a mistake.
If fabric is used to cover the refrigerator, it not only does not insulate or prevent dust, but it also affects the refrigeration process. If the refrigerator cannot dissipate heat for a long time, it will affect its performance and lifespan. Therefore, do not leave fabric on the refrigerator.
In addition, this also has a significant impact on feng shui. Curtain fabrics are believed to create a barrier to the emotions of family members, leading to conflicts and a lack of harmony and happiness.
Plants, Flower Pots
For decorative purposes, some families often place plants or flower pots directly on top of the refrigerator, thinking that it not only purifies the air but also saves space. In reality, this is completely incorrect.
The reasons are similar to the above. Potted plants are usually heavier, and placing them on top of the refrigerator will increase the burden and affect its performance. In addition, the heat emitted by the refrigerator will cause the plants and flowers to wither quickly.
In addition, the top of the refrigerator is generally higher, making it difficult for plants to retain moisture due to sunlight and the air purification effect will be reduced. Therefore, it is best to place plants in other suitable locations.
Proper Feng Shui Placement for the Refrigerator
According to feng shui experts, the best location for a refrigerator in a house is the kitchen. The refrigerator belongs to the metal element, while the kitchen represents the fire element that counters the metal. Therefore, placing the refrigerator in the kitchen will help balance the fire element.
However, it is important not to place the refrigerator directly opposite or near the stove because the heat from the stove and the cold air from the refrigerator will clash with each other, affecting the health of the homeowners, reducing harmony, and potentially causing damage to the appliances.
What should not be placed on top of the refrigerator? Heavy objects, microwaves…, and in general, nothing should be placed on top of the refrigerator.
- The refrigerator belongs to the metal element, so individuals with a prosperous or deficient metal element in their birth chart should place a large refrigerator. They may even place the refrigerator in the living room. Regardless of which family member has a favorable metal element, they can place the refrigerator in their respective auspicious position to enhance their fortune.
- People who belong to the water element and have a lack of smooth career should place the refrigerator in their workspace; they can store water, beer, ice cubes… Also, people with a water element can place an additional refrigerator in the living room to support their element.
- People who belong to the wood element should not place the refrigerator near but in a secluded spot in the house. In bars, refrigerators are often placed inside wooden cabinets. For people who are not compatible with the metal element, this is an excellent way to counteract the bad effects from the refrigerator.
Note: Whether the refrigerator is placed in the kitchen or living room, homeowners should be aware not to place it opposite a door, as this can create conflicting energy flow and instability in fortune, and even risk a miscarriage.
