A house with its entry in the South-East (Agni kon), an underground water tank in the South-East and the floor sloping to the South suffers constant quarrels. Close the South-East underground tank at once and correct the slope; the staircase above it can stay.

In a building whose East-West axis is longer, place the deity (prabhu) in the exact West so that it faces East. When the deity looks to the East, the direction corrects itself.

When a corner is cut and there is no space to build on it, the foundation (bunyaad) is joined underground to complete the regular shape. The current then flows in the full shape, so the cut above ground causes no defect.

An E3-E4 main door is the best for chances of going abroad; those not getting a visa should sleep with their feet towards the West and keep the West and South heavy and well built.

When the North and East are raised and the South and West cannot be made higher, a picture of a mountain peak such as Everest in the low-lying South or West zone changes the mind through the image and brings opportunities.

In an irregular plot, ignore the slanting side and take the degree of any side that runs straight in the map, parallel to the edge of the paper. The tilt found from that side is then applied to zone the whole plot.
For an irregular plot, measure the degree of one wall or axis, draw a line through the centre parallel to that wall, set off the measured tilt to get exact North, and then mark the zones as usual.
Without software, the centre (nabhi) of an irregular plot or flat is found as the centre of gravity of a cut-out of its shape: hang it from two different points, mark the vertical line each time, and the lines cross at the centre.
Plan of the plot, house or flat
To find whether a floor or plot is low toward the South-West or slopes toward the North-East, pour water on it and watch where it flows; a spirit level, or a contour map for land, gives the same answer.
Floors and open land
On every vastu visit, prepare a slope map of the property, like the contour map made before any civil work. After the gate, slope carries the most marks, and correcting the slope of a room alone removes about 50 to 60 percent of its defects.
Whole property, each room, office chamber and bedroom
The earth cooled from a ball of fire and tilted about 23.4 degrees toward the North-East, so a floor that is level or falls gently toward the North-East is in harmony with nature. An uneven floor, or one sloping any other way, is one of the biggest defects whatever the zone.

The South, South-West and West build skill and capability. When the land there is low and the construction in these zones is also the lowest, skills and Saturn (Shani) turn against the owner, and the business does not get the wealth and opportunities it should.
South, South-West and West zones
The shape of a building is the shape in which its plinth beam and foundation (neev, bunyaad) are laid in the ground, because the underground geopathic current runs in that shape. Balconies and chhajjas projecting above do not change the shape.

When a plot has its boundary wall on all sides and the North-East is left open as a porch or parking, the plot is not cut. The North-East is meant to stay open to the sky, with less construction.
North-East of the plot: porch and parking
A circular plot is bad for homes and business but the best for temples and auspicious for a parliament. A pentagonal plot should never be bought, while a hexagonal plot with equal sides is never bad and suits temples, certain businesses and schools.
Whole plot or building
A corner extended from both its sides gives strong results: an extended North-East makes residents healthy, wealthy and religious, while extended South-East, South-West and North-West corners bring disputes, illness, business collapse, mental illness and forced migration.
Corners of the plot
A plot with its North-East cut is the worst of all, and a cut South-East is also very bad. A cut North-West brings mental anguish, disputes, loss of mental balance and constant quarrels.
Corners of the plot
A gaumukhi (cow-faced) plot is narrow at the road and wide at the back, and a shermukhi (lion-faced, nahar mukhi) plot is wide at the road. Either is good only when its North-East is not cut, and a shermukhi plot gives results only when its North-East is extended.
Whole plot relative to the road
Land is classed by its slope pattern. Kurma prishth (tortoise-back) land, raised in the middle and sloping on all sides, is the best for business and temples; Gaj, Daitya and Naag prishth slopes are unfavourable, and Daitya and Naag land destroy business.
Whole plot
A slope toward the North-East is best for homes, temples and schools, while business premises do best with a slope toward the North or North-North-East, then the North-East. Slopes toward the South, South-East, South-West, West and North-West each bring specific harm.
Land, floors and rooms
Each floor is judged from its own base: the ground floor from its foundation and an upper floor from the floor it stands on. The centre of every floor follows its own carpet area, and a smaller upper floor does not make the plot cut.

When the whole slope of a plot or roof drains into the centre, or a well, water tank or septic tank is built in the Brahmasthan, the result is sarvanash (total ruin). Projects with a central well always carry some trouble they cannot rise above.
Brahmasthan (centre) of the plot, building or roof
The South-West is ruled by Nairitya, with Rahu-Ketu as its planets and gomed (hessonite) as its stone. Balanced, uncut and right-angled, it gives prosperity, stability and skill, and it must be the highest part of the property in both ground level and building height, which is why a dhwaj (flag) is raised there.
South-West corner of the land and roof
A square plot with equal length and width is the best of all. In a rectangle, a longer North-South axis makes a Chandra bhedi plot that suits homes, while a longer East-West axis suits temples but brings some unrest to a home.
Whole plot
A trapezoidal plot is judged by the corner its slanting side extends. An extended North-East makes it very wealthy, while extensions toward the South-East or South-West, or widening from the West or North, bring fear, losses, depression or instability.
Whole plot
A triangular plot creates great trouble: name and fame are lost, enemies and court cases multiply and every task is delayed. Its intensity is reduced by building in a square form within it and by cooling its three fiery corners.

Land is also named by which side is raised and which is low-lying (veethi). Go, Gaj, Dhan and Pitamah veethi are favourable, while Jal, Yam, Naag and Vaishvanar veethi, and a low-lying centre, are harmful.
Whole plot
The earth is tilted 23.4 degrees toward the North-East. When a plot, plan and floor are sloped the same way, with the North-East kept lowest, the land falls in line with nature and absorbs the full energy, which collects most in the North-East.
Whole plot, floors and rooms
When selecting a plot, flat or industrial land, the energy of the land itself decides about 70 percent of the result, more than slope, shape or surrounding structures. A building made fully as per directional vastu can still fail on land with bad energy.
The earth element is golden yellow, square, located in the South-West and solid, heavy and dense by nature; in a house it is represented by the land energy, the plot shape and the slope. Balanced, it gives the greatest stability and success; disturbed, it brings business uncertainty and unhealthy relationships.

Yes, all rooms should be at one level. A slope toward the North-East causes no problem, because the earth itself is tilted about 23.4 degrees toward the North-East and following nature counts as level; a slope in any other direction causes trouble.
Yes, lowering the floor level in the North-East causes no problem.
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.
Check with a water level (spirit level) or a contour map, or simply pour a bucket of water on the floor: the direction in which it flows is the direction of the slope.
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.
A cut is part of a direction missing from the plot's shape, just as a person can be missing an ear; if that part of the North-East is absent, the North-East is cut. Slope is simply the way water runs when it is poured. It forms with the construction, and where it is wrong it is corrected by raising the part that is too low.
It is the structure built below road level when a house is first dug out: the foundation, also called neev, bunyaad or daasa. The plot's shape is read from it.
Yes, it is wrong. Even if the floors slope to the North-East, a roof whose whole slope falls into the Brahmasthan creates the same defect as a slope toward the centre.
Such slopes explain the trouble. How to correct the slope fully, or partly when a full correction is not possible, is taught in the treatment classes. Slope plays a very big role: maintaining the slope alone removes about 50 percent of zone defects.
Each floor is judged from its own base: a ground floor from its foundation, a first floor from the floor it stands on. Construction built out over chhajjas becomes part of that floor, and the centre of every floor changes with its own carpet area. If one family uses all the floors, the ground floor shape is the full shape, and a smaller upper floor, such as 25 x 25 over a 50 x 50 ground floor, does not make the plot cut.
If the shortfall is on the South-West side, the South-West is cut. Simply build on an exact 31 x 31 square.
Yes, it can. The methods for converting any irregular shape into a regular one are taught in the treatment classes.
