Why should a toilet, dirt or extra height never be placed in the North-East?
Because the North-East belongs to Jupiter (Guru), the greatest planet, and to its lord Isha. A toilet, dirt or height there blocks Guru's grace, and spoiling the North-East spoils even a strong Jupiter in one's horoscope.

Does a toilet in the North-East always cause cancer, and is every South-facing house bad?
No. If it did, the owners of five and seven star hotels, which commonly have toilets in the North-East, would suffer first, and every South-facing owner would be ruined. Vastu must be read together with the planets of the person, which are exalted and which debilitated, instead of blindly applying one rule to everyone.
Does a toilet in the North-East always cause cancer?
No, that claim is not fully true. Cancer has many factors, and many hotels and homes have NE toilets whose owners never got cancer. A NE toilet does disturb the positive energy of that zone and brings illness, so cancer is possible, but not certain.
If a home has defects in the North-East, Brahmasthan and South-East that cannot be corrected and the family cannot move out, can correcting the land energy help?
Yes. Land energy carries 70 percent of the role, so changing and correcting it can give about 50 to 60 percent relief. Many large hotels have toilets in the Ishaan and still prosper because 6 to 10 feet of soil was dug out and thrown away, removing the land's negativity. In vastu, dasha (land energy) matters more than disha (direction).
My Jupiter is exalted and my door is on N6-N7, towards the North-East, yet we have had no problems. Why?
The Ishaan (North-East) corner belongs to Jupiter, so people whose Jupiter is exalted can keep their door there. This shows how the birth chart decides which door suits a person.
When a toilet and bathroom are built in the visarjan (disposal) zone, their floor is often raised or sunk to keep water from flowing out. What is correct?
Anything placed on the ground should be at water level, and the floor of the whole house should stay the same. Give the toilet and bathroom floor its slope toward the North-East; water draining toward the South-West is very troublesome.
Which mahadasha should the N8 door defect be related to?
N8 is the location of Jupiter (Guru), so it relates to the Guru mahadasha. The fear connected with it appears when combinations such as Jwalamukhi yoga or Angarak yoga form. Otherwise some fear, such as insecurity about the future, tends to remain anyway.
