A house has its entry in the Agni kon (South-East), an underground water tank in the South-East with the stairs over it, and the slope running to the South. The family fights constantly. What is the remedy?
Either leave the house or treat it: close the South-East underground water tank immediately and correct the slope. The staircase can stay. An overhead tank in the South-East is acceptable.
A washing machine uses water, so why can it go in the South-East?
What runs it is electricity, which represents fire; the kitchen in the SE also has water. So a washing machine can go in the SE, ESE, SSE and also the North-West.
Does increasing the energy of the South-East or South-South-East raise the chance of theft, fire or accidents?
No, this idea is wrong and should be removed from the mind. An element's own zone can bear any amount of that element: kitchens burn daily in the South-East, factories run furnaces there day and night, and a plant in Goa melts quartz in its South-East without such problems; high mountains in the South-West only strengthen the earth element there.

Is a tall chimney in the South-East a dosh?
No. In practice even very tall chimneys in the SE showed no dosh, because the fire element always goes upward, as swar vigyan also shows; a rising chimney suits fire.
The South has the fire element, so why can't the kitchen be built there?
The South is the proper location of Mars and represents fire, but all the principles are based on the Sun. When the Sun is in the South its rays are so hot that the vitamins and minerals they carry are destroyed, and cooking there affects the cook's mind badly. Fire stays balanced up to the South-East, which is why the kitchen is made there; in the South the fire becomes imbalanced.
