Bathroom (浴室)
Cleanliness rituals vary; avoid shaming over fixed infrastructure.
How to Check
- Locate bathroom relative to house centre and kitchen on the plan.
- Test fan flow and check for leaks affecting adjacent walls.
- Review whether toilet doors align with beds or desks visually.
Classical Basis
Later almanacs list toilet-at-centre as inauspicious; engineering prioritises plumbing stacks in high-rises.
Application
- Renovations may move wet stacks only with major cost.
Common Effects
- Damp mould affects health measurably; symbolic readings add cultural caution.
Remedy Direction
Improve extraction, keep doors closed, use dividers when layout cannot change.
Caveats & Debate
High-rise plumbing constraints limit ‘ideal’ placement; adapt expectations.
