Explanation and notes
East: excellent for administrative offices, as it governs, controls and spreads one's communication to the whole world. ESE: research and R&D. SSE: moderate. South: industrial offices of metal work such as iron rolling mills. SW: very good for employment-giving and relationship offices, marriage bureaus, business and anything needing stability. WSW: very good for every kind of office, being the zone of wisdom. West: excellent and profitable, the zone of Varun; engineering, mechanical and all other offices. NW: not good, yet not very bad; suits transport, ticket booking and travel agency offices. NNW: moderate. North: banking, finance, chartered accountants and finance companies. NNE: hospital administration. NE: education and religious offices. ENE: media, entertainment and social networking offices. From the Q&A: share trading suits the SW (Rahu), a construction company the South with its door in the East, an engineering consultant the West, a medicine office the East or West, and a doctor sits in the West facing East.
The human body, imagined facing East, is built like the Vastu Purush Mandal, and the position of each body function shows where the matching part of a house belongs.
Vedic Vastu texts assign no place to a toilet inside the house and say its wall should not even touch the house foundation; toilets were built outside, and palaces placed them at the rear in the West-North-West.
Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
Four positions are forbidden for a toilet whatever the zone: the Brahmasthan, directly opposite the main door, directly opposite the kitchen and under the staircase.
Turning the toilet seat so the user faces North or South, never East or West, corrects about half the dosh of a toilet even when it stands in a wrong zone.
A toilet should be lined with glazed ceramic tiles, well ventilated, kept in white or grey, and should have no mirror facing the seat.
Sitting on the toilet with the left nostril closed, the teeth pressed together and the feet raised on a small footstool clears the bowels in seconds and protects the teeth and stomach.
A glass bowl layered with sea sand, alum, salt and sea sand again, kept in the toilet where the air flows out, absorbs the negativity of the toilet.
