Principle

Keep the South-West Packed, Heavy and Closed (Earth Zone Rule)

The South-West holds the earth element, whose nature is solid, heavy and dense, so this zone is kept solid, heavy and compact with the fewest openings. Infrared rays also arrive from the South-West at a particular time of day, another reason to keep it closed.

What it does

Preserves the stability that the earth element gives to the occupants.

Where

South-West zone of the plot and building

Cautions

  • Keep windows and doors in the South-West to the minimum, not even small holes.
  • Do not let the South-West or West be low-lying, and do not dig pits there.

Explanation and notes

Solid, heavy and compact construction matches the nature of the earth element. Low-lying South-West and West parts also invite negative entities (baahri hawa), since the South-West is the place of Rahu and Ketu and the West belongs to Shani.

Principle

Land Energy Decides 70 Percent, Orientation Only 30 Percent

Land (geopathic) energy, which is the earth element, carries 70 percent of the result of a building, while orientation and zoning carry 30 percent. A site with zero land energy fails however good its orientation and interiors are.
