Mulank 4 and 7 point to a South-West door. If Rahu is exalted in the chart, can one keep a South-West main door?
It has been seen that people whose Rahu is exalted, at a good degree and giving good results, had South-West doors without much trouble. Even so, a South-West door should be avoided. Where one exists, do the main door usara with seven sea-salt lumps given in this class, which gives very good results.

In the seven sea-salt lump usara of the main door, are the rounds made clockwise or anti-clockwise?
Clockwise only. Standing outside the main door, circle the hand holding the seven lumps clockwise in front of the door for the rounds, then sweep once or twice from the front as if pouring the energy out and throwing it away outside. Do it only while the right nostril (Surya swar) is active; done in the left swar it gives no result and instead invites negativity. Swar vigyan is the base of everything, and without swar, vastu is handicapped.
What is mulank, and why does it carry less weight than rashi or the birth chart in choosing a door?
Mulank is the digit sum of the birth date: born on the 1st it is 1, on the 11th 1 + 1 = 2, on the 13th 1 + 3 = 4, on the 18th 1 + 8 = 9. Indian astrology gives it little weight because India runs by tithi, not by date; if dates mattered, tides, amavasya, purnima and eclipses would fall on fixed dates. Doors by mulank follow the planet of each number (1 Sun East, 2 Moon North-West, 3 Jupiter North-East, 4 Rahu and 7 Ketu South-West, 5 Mercury North, 6 Venus South-East, 8 Saturn West, 9 Mars South), but the rashi and the birth chart should decide.
A client has an exalted Saturn and a debilitated Venus. Can the bedroom be made in the West?
Yes, it will be very good. With an exalted Saturn, make the bedroom in the West without hesitation; WSW or even SW can also be used, but when Saturn is exalted the West gives the best results.
A couple sleeps in the SW; one has an exalted Rahu and the other a debilitated Rahu. Can they sleep there?
Yes. After marriage, as in the hathleva ritual, the planets of one partner overlap the other, and the exalted planet's influence prevails.
Can doors be opened anywhere by vastu, or must the birth chart be checked?
Check the birth chart. If the Sun in the chart is debilitated and you forcibly open an E3 or E4 door, it will be wrong and not appropriate at all.
Can yellow mustard and gomti chakra be put at a South-West main boundary gate?
Yes, it will benefit. These two items are not limited to any direction and can be used anywhere. Put the yellow mustard in properly dug pits, because if it meets moisture and sprouts it does no good. The specific South-West gate remedy is taught separately.
