A bedroom zone is chosen by the occupant's planets: an exalted planet makes its zone favourable and a debilitated one makes it harmful. Key checks are Sun for East, Venus for SE, Mars for South, Rahu-Ketu for SW, Saturn for West, Moon for NW, Mercury for North and Jupiter for NE.
If the sleeping zone cannot be changed, changing the direction of the feet gives about 50 percent of the benefit. Feet towards North is best, West is second, East only for children and early risers, and South never.
Grid the kitchen from its own centre and place items by zone: the refrigerator in SE, South, West or ideally NW, spices in the South, knives and cutlery in the SW, drinking water in NNE or ENE and the vegetable basket in the East.
East is the ideal drawing room zone, North suits business talks and the NE gives peace, while the SE, SSW and WNW are poor; a room energised with crystallised quartz can work almost anywhere.
The drawing room is the place for exchanging ideas, so its furniture is set in a square or rectangle, the person putting forward his views faces North, the colours are light and windows give cross-ventilation.
During study, meditation, puja, bhajan, meals and bathing, one should face North or East.
The deity faces East first and North second, never South; the worshipper faces North for wealth, East for spiritual progress and South or West for tantra, and before a consecrated idol all directions become zero.
Each zone favours a particular kind of office: East for administration, North for finance, West for engineering and profit, WSW for every office, SW for employment and stability and ENE for media.
WSW, West, SW, East, North and NE are strong study zones and ESE suits research, while SE, SSE, South, WNW, NW and NNW disturb concentration.
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.
An exalted planet in the lagna chart of the owner opens his fortune through a door in the direction of that planet, while certain debilitated planets and conjunctions rule a direction out completely.
In the East, E3 is the best door with abundant wealth and E4 brings government support and respect, while E5 suits administrators only. E1, E6, E7 and E8 should not hold the main door.
E3, N4 and W4 are the three vipul sampada (abundant-wealth) doors. Virtual doors marked on these padas are heavily promoted, but they give only a tiny fraction of the result of an actually opened door.
A strong planet makes its direction the best facing, entrance and bedroom location, while a debilitated planet or a lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house makes the same direction one to avoid.
Before doing an interior, get the birth chart analysed: heavy use of the colours, materials or showpieces of a debilitated (neech) planet becomes the biggest trouble, and items unknowingly put in a wrong zone can suddenly bring unrest, disease and failure.
A clock represents Mercury, so it is hung on the North wall; on other walls it delays work. Every home needs working clocks, never stopped ones, and a small running clock in the safe increases the effect of Mercury.
Sleep is an activity of Saturn; Saturn is a friend of Rahu-Ketu, who rule the South-West, and the South is the seat of Yama, so sleeping in the South-West or South is recommended, while sleeping in the East is not.
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.
A planet-wise list of businesses by door direction was shared as a PDF: the East (Sun) and North-East group suits education, paper, wood, milk, grain, consultancy, political and administrative trades, and the South-East (Mars, fire) suits electrical, hotel, restaurant and cosmetics businesses.
A family photo should show everyone full length with smiling faces, and the faces of the living must turn to the North, the living direction; NNW suits family attraction, but the direction the faces look matters more than the wall.
The mirror is one of the eight mangal items (ashtamangal) and is considered the best of them; it drives away negative energy and reflects energy when placed in the right direction. It represents the water element and the Moon, so it belongs on the North or East wall.
The elephant is the vehicle of Indra, lord of the East. Between the East and the North-East lies a 45-degree span with several pads, among them a debt door and a door that makes one rich, and every 11.25 degrees the chemistry and circumstances change, so the exact pad matters.
A picture of the Sun goes only in the East. Make sure it really is the Sun: a Sun-like figure with a moustache is Shani Dev, and in one prominent family his images on both gates facing the house were followed by incurable illness in member after member.
You are losing, because the East (the sun) gives all the energy. Either build a second storey or put up a flag: a metal flag of brass in the South-West of your roof, higher than their building, so that your building starts receiving cosmic energy.
No. In 81 pad vastu exact East falls on E5 (Surya); East between E4 and E5 belongs to the 64 pad grid, so correct it. The reference is in Vishwakarma Prakash, with the page number given in the previous class; the Hindi translation from Sanskrit by Krishna Kumar Jugnu of Udaipur and the edition of Maharshi Abhay Katyayan give the same.
N4, like N3 and W4, is a door that brings sons. Open an E2 door, which brings the birth of daughters. A home without a daughter is not a complete home.
First check whether the door is in plumb and level with a plumb line and water level, and whether a wall or another door stands in front of it. In this case the entrance was fine; the real cause was a full basement in the South and West portion, together with a problem in the North-East.
NNE and the North-East, leaving out Shikhi devta on the diagonal, and from the North-East through ENE up to the East.
Absolutely not; a septic tank cannot be in the East.
Yes. A correctly placed door with an anti-clockwise (heen bahu) exit gives fewer good results than it should. A door on a negative pad such as E5 or E6, whose route runs clockwise to a gate on W4 or W5, gives much less negative effect than the pad alone would.
No, in that case an E4 door is completely wrong.
By definition it is at 0 degrees with doors in all four directions, but it can be made otherwise too: build the doors on whichever pads fall on Pushpdant, Grihakshat, Bhallat and E4.
Yes, it can be made in a flat too.
