    If kitchen is placed in the north east corner of the house then it may lead to unrest, misunderstanding between members of the family, quarrels, unwanted expenditure, tension.
  2. South West Corner:
    If kitchen is placed in the south west corner of the house it can cause lot of difficulties to the head of the family / owner of the house. Like health problems, loss in peace of mind increases etc.

Kitchen should never be constructed in the Northeast or in East or North of the house. If done so, the house member’s money gets spent fast, there is always tensions and quarrels or accident may take place among the members of the house.
