Element Friendship and Enmity Chart (Tatva Maitri) for Interiors

Humans are made of four working elements, water, earth, fire and air; nobody belongs to the space element alone. Water and earth are friends, fire and air are friends, water and fire are enemies, earth and air are enemies, while water-air and earth-fire are sam-mitra (neutral friends).

What it does

Decides which colours, artifacts and figures support a person and which must be kept out of the interior.

Where

All rooms, according to the element of the occupant

How to do it

  1. 1Find the occupant's element
  2. 2Use colours, artifacts, paintings, statues and showpieces of the occupant's own or friend element
  3. 3Never use artifacts, idols, showpieces or colour combinations that represent the enemy element

Cautions

  • Do not bring enemy-element items into a person's space

Explanation and notes

Water and earth: water created earth, and land holding water among its stones is saturated land, so water lives with earth as a friend. Water and fire destroy each other. Earth and air: wind erosion wears rock into sand (the huge rocks behind the round balancing stones of Jabalpur were worn down by wind), and dust storms scatter soil, so air is the enemy of earth. Water also erodes land but is not its enemy, because water created earth. Fire and air: blowing air into burning coal makes it hot enough to melt iron, and colliding air gives birth to fire. The teacher calls this small chart the key to all of vastu and interior.

Basis of Interior Planning: Goal, Kundali, Current Flow and Planet Yogas

Before any interior, fix the goal of the space, study the owner's kundali, check the current (energy) flow and base every arrangement, colour and artifact on planet combinations. Harmful yogas of the kundali must never be recreated with artifacts, while good yogas should be built.

Chitra se Chitta: Pictures and Portraits at Home Shape Emotions

Interior vastu is emotion and action controlled by the interior: what the eye sees daily at home changes the mind. Pictures of God and loving family scenes bring good thoughts, while vulgar, violent or sorrowful images change emotions at once.

Principle

Element Matching for Marriage, Business Partnership and Friendship

The element friendship chart is also the basis of compatibility: two people of the same element or of friendly elements (water with earth, fire with air) keep a heart-to-heart bond. Compare the rashi elements of both before a marriage, partnership or close friendship.

Finding Your Element from the Moon Sign (Janma Rashi)

A person's element comes from the janma rashi, the rashi number written with the Moon (Cha) in the kundali. Writing the 12 rashis in order under Fire, Earth, Air and Water gives each element three rashis.

Janma Rashi vs Naam Rashi: Which Element to Use Where

The janma rashi (Moon sign) runs the whole life and is used for stable works such as house construction muhurta and marriage, while the rashi of the name in use can be used for business records. Naming a child by the janma rashi keeps the person's element unchanged.
