A North-East Defect Means a South-West Defect Too
Opposite zones are linked along the diagonal: whenever a house has a defect in the North-East, the South-West, its diagonal opposite, will carry a defect as well.
Principle
Correct Sequence for Preparing and Studying a Vastu Map
Before studying or preparing any map, work in a fixed order: land energy, direction, degree, drawing the map, zoning, bhoomi vibhajan, Vastu devtas and finally the ati marma. A correct degree and north are the foundation of every later step.
What it does
Keeps map analysis systematic and stops one early error from spreading through every later step.
Where
Any plot, house, flat or factory map
How to do it
- 1Check the energy of the land
- 2Find the direction
- 3Take the exact degree (from Google Earth)
- 4Draw the map on paper or get it drawn
- 5On one copy do the 16 or 32 zoning from the degree
- 6On a second copy do the bhoomi vibhajan into Pishach, Manushya, Dev and Brahma bhoomi
- 7Mark the 45 Vastu devtas
- 8Mark the marma and ati marma points
Cautions
- If north is marked wrongly, every zone, devta and ati marma will be wrong
- Almost no plot, house or factory sits exactly on the directions; most are tilted by about 10 to 20 degrees, so always measure
Explanation and notes
Once the degree and north are right, the rest of the marking is not difficult.

Principleअति मर्म स्थल
Ati Marma: Nine Vital Points of the Plot That Must Stay Free
Ati marma are the nine most sensitive points of the Vastu grid, formed where six devta-to-devta lines cross. In a regular, proportionate plot almost all of them fall in the Brahmasthan, and any piercing, load or dirt on them blocks the energy of the whole plot and brings severe, lasting trouble, above all to the owner (griha swami).
Testing
Ati Marma Check for Sudden Quarrels, Losses and Unexplained Illness
When a house built to good Vastu suddenly sees quarrels, business loss, restless children, bad dreams or a family member who stays ill, check what sits on its ati marma points. Shoes, a dustbin, a used plate or heavy goods placed there can trigger such trouble, and moving them brings quick relief.
Remedy
Ati Marma Remedies: Herbs, Metal Kurma (Tortoise) and Gems
Blocked marma and ati marma points are opened with injection-like remedies: special herbs are placed under marma points, while metal kurma (tortoise) figures, metals and precious minerals are installed on the ati marma. They reopen the blocked energy channels of the land.
Method
Marking the Nine Ati Marma Points in the 81 Pad Vastu Mandala
In the 81 pad (9 x 9) Vastu mandala the ati marma are found by drawing six lines between pairs of outer devtas: the two corner diagonals and two lines parallel to each of them. Their nine crossing points are the ati marma.
Method
Marking Ati Marma on Any Plot with Devta Lines or the Zoning Chakra
On a real plot of any shape, the ati marma are marked by finding where the twelve devtas of the six ati marma lines meet the plot boundary and joining those points. With the zoning chakra this takes one to two minutes and needs no computer.
Method
Taking the Degree on Google Earth and Drawing the North Line
The tilt of a house is read on Google Earth with the ruler tool and then transferred to the paper map as a north line drawn from the centre. On an irregular plot that line is drawn parallel to the wall whose degree was taken.
Method
Dividing Any Map into 16 Zones of 22.5 Degrees
Once north is marked, a map of any shape is divided into 16 zones of 22.5 degrees by starting 11.25 degrees on either side of the north line. It takes about two minutes on regular and irregular maps alike.
Method
Dividing a Map into 32 Pads (Zones) of 11.25 Degrees
For 32 zoning each pad is 11.25 degrees, with N5 centred on the exact north (0 degrees). Start 5.62 degrees on either side of north and mark every 11.25 degrees, or mark the black lines of the zoning chakra.
