Astro-Vastu Basics: Benefic and Malefic Planets, Swagrahi, Kendra and Trik Bhav
Before planning an interior from a kundali, know which planets are malefic, when a planet is swagrahi or exalted, which houses are kendra and trik, and which side of the chart is each direction.
What it does
To read the strength of planets and houses before planning a person's interior.
Samagri used
- Lagna (birth) chart
- Table of signs, their lords, exaltation and debilitation
How to do it
- 1Treat Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu as malefic (dusht) planets
- 2Treat the Moon as benefic from Shukla Ashtami to Krishna Ashtami and malefic otherwise
- 3Call a planet swagrahi when it sits with its own sign number, for example Mars with 1 or 8 and Venus with 2 or 7
- 4Remember that every planet aspects the 7th house from itself, and Saturn, Mars and Jupiter have extra aspects (Jupiter 5th, 7th and 9th)
- 5Treat the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses as kendra and the 6th, 8th and 12th as trik bhav
- 6On the chart, the side marked East is always East and West always West, whatever number or planet is written there
Cautions
- A debilitated planet gives trouble
- A planet in the 6th, 8th or 12th house gives poor results unless it is swagrahi
Explanation and notes
A swagrahi or exalted planet gives good results even if malefic, just as a feared man sitting at home with his children does them no harm. A strong (exalted or swagrahi) planet in a kendra gives its full positive result. Shukla paksha runs from Ekam to Purnima and Krishna paksha from Ekam to Amavasya. Signs used in class: Sun exalted in 1, own sign 5, debilitated in 7; Moon exalted in 2, own sign 4, debilitated in 8; Mars own signs 1 and 8, exalted in 10, debilitated in 4; Mercury own signs 3 and 6, exalted in 6, debilitated in 12; Jupiter own signs 9 and 12, exalted in 4, debilitated in 10; Venus own signs 2 and 7, exalted in 12; Saturn own signs 10 and 11, exalted in 7, debilitated in 1; Rahu exalted in 3 (also 2) and Ketu in 9. Rahu and Ketu are always exalted or debilitated together.

Three Bases for Choosing Interior Colours: Kundali, Zone and Work
Interior colours are selected in three ways: from the kundali (the planets ruling education, business, wealth and luck), from the element of the zone (its own colour or a friendly element colour), and from the work done in the space.
Principle
Red Colour for Physical Work: Why Porters and Warehouses Use Red
Red represents Mars and the Surya swar; it creates heat, fire and zeal in the body, so it is used wherever heavy physical work must be done fast.
Principle
Blue Colour: Cooling, Antiseptic and Calming for Study

Oil-based Lead Paint: Never Use Where People Sleep, Work or Study
