A signature can pass or cancel a proposal, a cheque or a property deal, so the pen used for signing is chosen by the rashi of the name you sign with: the cap or body colour and the ink colour are matched to that rashi. Only three inks are used for the 12 rashis: red, blue and green.
When the lord whose colour you need is debilitated, trace the chain of sign lords to the planet that cancels the debility and use its colour instead, creating a neech bhang raj yoga yourself.
Before construction of a house or factory begins, the muhurta for the shilanyas or start of work is fixed from the rashi of the owner. If the Moon falls 4th, 8th or 12th from his rashi, money stays short however good the Vastu and the door.
A person's element comes from the janma rashi, the rashi number written with the Moon (Cha) in the kundali. Writing the 12 rashis in order under Fire, Earth, Air and Water gives each element three rashis.
The side of the chart that holds more than two planets, with at least one exalted or swagrahi planet at a good degree, is the direction that brings a person progress and happiness.
Chanting a planet's beej mantra is the one remedy that works in every state: it stops the bad results of a weak or debilitated planet and increases the good results of a strong one.
A chart cast for the moment someone asks about buying a plot, flat or land shows whether it is good: a fixed lagna, benefics in the kendras and a strong 4th house favour it, while malefics in the kendras warn against it.
No facing is good or bad for everyone. The direction of the house, the main door and each room are chosen from the owner's horoscope, so that the person lives in the zone of his strongest planet and avoids the zones of weak or afflicted planets.
House facing, main door and bedrooms
There are ten directions: the four main directions, the four corner directions (vidisha), the upward (urdhva) and the downward (adho), each with its own dikpal. To master them a practitioner needs knowledge of about ten subjects beyond Vastu itself.
Jyotish can only tell whether a coming period will be good or bad, while Vastu supplies the energy of the sun and planets. By orienting and balancing a house to capture the energy of the nine planets, the afflictions shown in a horoscope (nav graha peeda) can be removed.
A door that strengthens one element can ruin an owner whose running planetary period belongs to the opposite element. A new door that raised the fire element was opened for a sweet maker while his Moon (water) antardasha was running, and water and fire, being anti-elements, brought his business to zero.
Any new or shifted door
The same vastu does not suit everyone: not every South-facing house fails and not every North-East toilet gives cancer. Interior choices of wood, metal, colour, material and artifacts are customised from a study of the planets of the person.
No zone suits everyone: a South-West bedroom, a West-South-West study, a bed in the West, or a South-facing seat or door can harm a person whose planet ruling that zone is debilitated.
In astro vastu any person can be placed in any zone according to the birth chart. Even the South-South-West suits a person whose Rahu is exalted, but a person with debilitated Rahu should not sleep, sit or run a business in the South-West.
South-West and South-South-West bedrooms and seats, and South-West facing properties
In the kundli chart the top (1st) house is East, the 4th house North, the 7th house West and the 10th house South, with the corners as the sub-directions; these directions stay fixed while rashis and planets move.
Each planet is exalted (uchcha) in one rashi and debilitated (neech) in the seventh rashi from it: Sun 1 and 7, Moon 2 and 8, Mars 10 and 4, Mercury 6 and 12, Jupiter 4 and 10, Venus 12 and 6, Saturn 7 and 1.
Every planet affects the house it sits in and casts its aspect on the 7th house from it; Saturn also aspects the 3rd and 10th, Jupiter the 5th and 9th, Mars the 4th and 8th, and many astrologers give Rahu and Ketu the 5th and 9th.
A kundli shows rashis only as numbers 1 to 12 in its houses, so learn the rashis in sequence with their lords: Mars rules 1 and 8, Venus 2 and 7, Mercury 3 and 6, Moon 4, Sun 5, Jupiter 9 and 12, Saturn 10 and 11.
The element friendship chart is also the basis of compatibility: two people of the same element or of friendly elements (water with earth, fire with air) keep a heart-to-heart bond. Compare the rashi elements of both before a marriage, partnership or close friendship.
The janma rashi (Moon sign) runs the whole life and is used for stable works such as house construction muhurta and marriage, while the rashi of the name in use can be used for business records. Naming a child by the janma rashi keeps the person's element unchanged.
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.
Bedrooms in every zone
The office colour is taken from the lord of the 11th house (gains) or the 10th house (work), or from the planet of the business itself, choosing the one the horoscope supports.
Office walls and interiors
Study room colours follow the zone, but education belongs to Jupiter, so ivory, golden yellow, green (Mercury) and white suit study, as does the colour of the 5th house lord when it is well placed.
Study room walls and study area
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.
Main door
Vedic vastu matches the facing of the main door to the rashi of the male house owner. Even in a suitable direction, the door must still stand on a good pada.
Main door
A vastu dosh does not trouble a family all the time. Its ill effect appears when the related planet runs its dasha, mahadasha, antardasha or pratyantar dasha.
Any defective door or zone
Before planning an interior from a kundali, know which planets are malefic, when a planet is swagrahi or exalted, which houses are kendra and trik, and which side of the chart is each direction.
A retrograde planet acts at full power, a combust planet is weakened by the Sun, and a planet's degree shows its age: 10 to 20 degrees is youth with full power, while 0 to 6 and 26 to 30 degrees give little or no result.
Every item, colour and activity belongs to a planet, so its items can go in the zone of that planet or of a friend planet but must be kept apart from enemy planets. Working through these combinations lets you design your own remedies.
The griha swami's (house owner's) horoscope is used; the method is taught in the astro Vastu classes. The effect of a house carries on for up to three generations.
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.
This is a subject of astro vastu. Different items represent different planets; if a planet is very negative in your kundli and you keep the item that represents it, the negativity grows further. Which item suits which home, and with what, is covered in interior vastu.
The gems of the benefic planets, with the Sun also counted as benefic here: the gems of the Sun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus.
Members of one family almost always have nearly the same planetary placements; there is a symmetry among their charts, and that is why they are born into the same family. In that case the Sun was badly placed in all four charts, so the East-facing house harmed the whole family.
Go by the houses, not the numbers written in them: the top house is the 1st house (East) and the 4th house is North. If the planets on the North side are strong, the North direction is very good for the person. A kundli can even reveal where a person's house is, where its door is, how many windows it has and where a nearby river, pond or temple lies, so a map of the house can be drawn without seeing it.
The planets are still there even if the kundli is lost. A perfect kundli can be made from the thumb through Bhrigu Samhita, and Nadi astrologers also prepare it. A Prashna kundli can be cast, and Samudrik shastra (reading the body) also shows which planets are exalted or debilitated. Get this worked out by an astrologer.
Possibly, but then its degree and the aspects on it, such as a benefic planet's aspect, would have to be checked. A house is built only once, so such a risk should not be taken. Retrograde (vakri) planets are taught later in the course.
No, the rashi plays no role here. The 4th house is North, the 1st house East, the 10th house South and the 7th house West, with the sub-directions in between. Real charts are then analysed, five a day from the student group, to decide each person's interior; the key is knowing what to do for exalted planets and what for debilitated ones.
There are only nine planets for twelve rashis, so Simha and Kumbh get no exalted or debilitated planet. A kundli need not have any exalted or debilitated planet, and some have as many as four exalted. The number in a house is its rashi: a 5 means Simha, so Venus there is Venus in Simha; an 11 means Kumbh, so Mercury, the Moon and the Sun there are in Kumbh, and with the Moon there the person's rashi is Kumbh.
Learn the twelve rashis in order and the rest is simple. If the Sun is written with rashi 1, it is exalted, very powerful, and blesses the house and direction it occupies. If the Sun sits with rashi 7, it is debilitated and very weak; if that falls in the 4th house (North), building a house in that direction ruins the person. Vastu without this is incomplete, which is why even a perfect East-facing house can fail.
No. The 4th house is always North, the 1st East, the 10th South and the 7th West, with the sub-directions between them. Like water flowing in a river, planets and rashis keep moving, but the direction a house represents stays fixed whichever planet or rashi comes into it.
