Questions and Answers

Use only the lagna (birth) kundali for interiors. The KP chart is based on nakshatras and is not bad, but there is no need to debate it here.

Yes. After marriage, as in the hathleva ritual, the planets of one partner overlap the other, and the exalted planet's influence prevails.

Yes, you can; Rahu in Mesh is not debilitated.

No problem. When a name cannot be taken from the birth rashi, it can be taken from a friend rashi or friend element; air makes fire blaze, so they are friends.

The janma rashi runs the whole life, so all stable works such as the muhurta for building a house and marriage are done by it. If the name is not from the janma rashi, its rashi gives a different element, which can be used in business, because bank, GST and tax records carry that name.

It is not the lagna number. In your kundali, the number written next to the Moon (Cha) is your janma rashi: 1 Mesh, 2 Vrishabh, 3 Mithun and so on up to 12 Meen. For example, a Moon with 12 means Meen rashi.

Yes. Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets; if one is debilitated, the other always is. This is covered in detail later.

Check only debilitation, not the 8th house. Not every 8th-house placement is bad.

Manglik has nothing to do with it. It is considered only at marriage matching, when Mars sits in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 12th house, and Mars is power, not inauspicious. For the SW check whether Rahu-Ketu are debilitated, and for the South whether Mars is bad.

The South-West is the location of Rahu and Ketu, and the West belongs to Saturn. Thick, high walls keep the influence of Rahu-Ketu and Saturn from becoming excessive, which is why the South-West is never kept low.

Ashtadhatu contains the metals that represent all nine planets, so an ashtadhatu bell pacifies the nine planets. Electric bells have replaced it today, but ringing an ashtadhatu bell sends its vibrations through the whole house.

In Vedic vastu each direction represents a planet: East is the Sun (gold and copper), South-East is Venus (white metal), South is Mars (copper), South-West is Rahu-Ketu (panchdhatu), West is Saturn (iron), North-West is the Moon (silver), North is Mercury (kansa and brass) and North-East is Jupiter (gold and brass). The planets cannot be held in a fist, but their energy can be deposited in the home: the material representing a direction's planet captures that planet's energy there, multiplies it, raises the power of the place and nullifies negative energy.

In that horoscope the Moon is exalted and forms a strong Gaj Kesari yoga, so white does not harm them; you should use ivory. A white platform alone does not make anyone rich, nor does a platform alone make anyone a pauper: vastu is not everything and nothing is greater than karma. Vastu supports those whose karma is good, and its four controlling factors are dravya, kshetra, kaal and bhaav (substance, place, time and intention).

The West-South-West: anyone can be given a bedroom there whether their planets are exalted or debilitated. The West suits those with an exalted or normal Saturn but not those with a debilitated Saturn, who should never sleep in the West-North-West either, as it can lead to depression.

Take a colour catalogue and turn its pages with your own eyes: the colours you are drawn to are the ones that awaken your fortune. Use that colour along with the colour of the zone you sleep in, and if possible match it with your horoscope; it usually matches. Sleeping steadily for eight hours in that colour lets its planet act on the whole body.

Every structure represents a planet, the roof Rahu and the stairs Mercury, but a heavy staircase in the North suppresses the North and with it Mercury. Stairs in the North cause loss of career and of magnetic attraction and end opportunities, so they are not built there.

Yes, with remedies; he will not leave the East unused or build a toilet there. A drawing room is not a permanent seat. Only permanent seating, such as an 8-hour business seat, should not be chosen in the zone of a debilitated planet.

Decide by zone and by the horoscope: look at the lords of the 10th house (karmesh), the 9th (bhagya), the 2nd (dhanesh) and the 11th (labhesh), and use the planet that will draw in money.

Chemicals, natural or artificial, belong to Mangal (Mars) and represent the South.

The West is best, because engineering and technology represent Shani.

The West and North can work, but the best is the South-West, the zone of Rahu: trading is Rahu's work, Rahu is glamour and makes one rich, and people with an exalted Rahu find that whatever share they buy rises. In one case the teacher checked the swar before a student bought a share, and it rose sharply within 15 days.

Electronics represent Mangal (Mars).

Yes, with an exalted Jupiter the study table can be in the North-West.

Yes, if the Moon is exalted the North-West can be used.

Yes. For some people, according to the horoscope, eating in the kitchen itself even frees them from the affliction of a planet.
