Our parking area is in the North-East of the plot. Does that make the North-East cut?
Not at all. A plot with its boundary on all sides and the North-East left open as parking or a porch is not cut; the North-East is meant to stay open to the sky with less construction. A consultant who calls it cut lacks even nursery-level vastu knowledge. In one Indore case, a family who believed this left a prosperous house that only had a porch in the North-East and then suffered in two costlier houses.

Can the gomti chakra potli for a cut North-East be made on Basant Panchami, and which mantra energises gomti chakra?
Yes, Basant Panchami is very good for it. Gomti chakra is energised with the same raksha mantra used for yellow mustard, since both are used for protection.
How do we mark a flat whose South-West and North-East corners are cut?
Mark it the usual way: find the centre and north, place the chakra on the centre and mark the devtas. To divide the bands, take every corner of the shape, draw lines from the centre to each, apply the ratios and join the points; a similar shape forms inside. The more irregular the shape, the more complicated the work, and software makes it easier.
If a direction is cut, can quartz suited to that direction be put there?
Yes. For a North-East cut, quartz can be put into the ground there to extend that direction; if that is not possible, keep it in a glass bowl at that spot.
If there is a cut at E2 (Parjanya), can it be corrected with a symbol?
Parjanya, the devta that brings rain, production and everything else, works like a lens that captures the sun's rays; when it is balanced, it captures the cosmic energy fully. To balance a cut there, the one remedy given is the plant taught for Parjanya: a haldi or daru haldi plant in a pot.
Is a nahar mukhi (lion-faced) plot auspicious if it extends toward the South so that its South-East grows?
No. A South-East or South-West extension is not auspicious, because a plot needs its North-East extended. Even in an East-facing gaumukhi plot with a narrow front where the South-East is a right angle, the North-East gets cut, so it is not auspicious. A nahar mukhi plot gives results only when its North-East is extended.
Some people deliberately build the house with the North-East extended. Does that increase the energy?
Yes. Extending the North-East of the land from the foundation enlarges the place of its devta, who is pleased just as a person is with a bigger room, and it does not bring a South-East negative. But what truly counts as an extended North-East is taught later, because many people extend it the wrong way, for example from the East toward the North-East, and harm themselves.
