Explanation and notes
Friendships named in class: Sun with Moon, Mars and Jupiter; Mars with Jupiter, Sun and Moon; Jupiter with Mars and Moon; Mercury with Sun and Venus; Venus with Mercury and Saturn; Saturn with Rahu and Ketu. Sun and Saturn are enemies, and Venus and Jupiter are not friends. Once this fundamental is understood, remedies can be generated through permutations and combinations of the planets, which is how Geo Vastu arrives at remedies not found elsewhere.
The birth chart shows which direction is strong for a person: the direction holding exalted planets, or else the most benefic planets, is the one to face, sleep and work in. Planet colours from the chart guide health, business and decoration choices.
The East belongs to the Sun. Its interior uses light orange, greens, pink, yellow and ivory white, sandstone, copper or gold-polished showpieces, sunrise pictures and sun-loving plants.
When the East is closed by a raised wall or a heavy structure, items that capture the Sun energy are placed in the East so that the Sun still rises in the home.
Trees and plants capture about 90 percent of the solar energy that reaches the earth and give it out through the day, so every home needs indoor plants in galleries and around the living areas. Fruit-bearing trees must stay outside, and no plant goes in the bedroom.
Giloy, an ayurvedic creeper, grown in the East lets the morning sunrays pass through it into the rooms, which improves the immunity of the residents even if they do not consume it.
The North-West is the seat of the Moon and of Vayu (air). Its interior uses white and ivory, pearls, white stone and a little white marble, pictures of water creatures and the full Moon, and moon-loving plants.
A full Moon painting in the North-West strengthens the zone, and an actual photograph of the Sharad Purnima Moon works far more powerfully than an artificial image.
The coconut tree holds all five elements and captures the most cosmic and underground energy, drawing it into the home. It is the only tall tree allowed in the North-East and can be planted in any direction.
