Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 35 Stove Under Beam
Author: Master Andrew Chan · Mongkok, Hong Kong · Home Feng Shui Expert · Updated 2026-07-18

Configuration Analysis
Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's home feng shui insights highlight that the stove is the household's treasury and source of health. If a beam directly presses down on it, forming a “stove under beam” configuration, the oppressive qi from the beam will directly suppress the stove's fire and wealth qi. This, in turn, suppresses the family's health and financial luck, with a particularly noticeable impact on the female homeowner's fortune.
Main Impacts
Health Aspect
Family members are prone to gastrointestinal and digestive system ailments. The female homeowner may experience headaches, neck and shoulder discomfort, and high mental stress.
Financial Aspect
The financial treasury is suppressed, hindering wealth accumulation. Income growth becomes difficult, savings are hard to increase, and it's easy to experience financial shortfalls.
Career Aspect
The female homeowner's career is prone to bottlenecks, with much effort yielding little return and numerous obstacles.
Practical Remedial Suggestions
The core objective is to dissipate the oppressive qi field of the beam.
Adjust Stove Position (Primary Solution)
Move the stove out from directly under the beam, avoiding its vertical projection area. This resolves the suppression at its root.
Ceiling Enclosure (Secondary Solution)
Completely enclose the beam with a kitchen ceiling, making the surface flat. This eliminates the visual and energetic sense of oppression.
Hang Gourds for Mitigation (Auxiliary Solution)
Hang consecrated brass gourds or natural gourds at both ends of the beam. Gourds have the feng shui function of collecting sha qi and absorbing illness qi, which can help alleviate the beam's negative impact. Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan often recommends this method for minor issues.
