A machine that is not at water level breaks down far more often. A spirit level belongs in every Vastu consultant's kit bag, and every machine is checked on a factory visit.
Machines and their bases in the factory
Opposite zones are linked along the diagonal: whenever a house has a defect in the North-East, the South-West, its diagonal opposite, will carry a defect as well.
North-East and South-West zones
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
A consultant prepares before visiting a factory or house: obtain the map and current location, find the degrees, draw the zone lines (joining) and divide the pads. Only then visit, feel the energy and interpret.
Whole site
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 taste of the earth element is sweet, so where the people of a house speak sweetly the earth element is balanced, and where people in a home, factory or business speak bitterly it is disturbed.
A main door that leans inward or outward even by half a degree to two degrees stops giving results; check it with a plumb line (soot-saval) and a water level.
Main door and its frame
Buy a liquid-filled compass from a stationery shop or online; it makes it easy to set zero degree and read degrees. Also download Google Earth on a laptop or computer and install a compass app on the mobile, which works only on Android phones, not on iPhones. Geo Vastu does not sell a compass of its own.
Zone the complete plot. Almost the whole plot is in use and even the small strips are being used, so the full plot is taken for zoning and for the degree.
Google Earth with the ruler works only on a laptop or PC. On a phone you can use a photo editing app instead: take the chakra image in PNG form, ask the client for a photo of the map and overlay the chakra on it, which needs some photo editing skill.
Open the location in Google Earth with North set at the top and compare. If the plan looks identical, it is drawn at zero degrees and is zoned without rotating the chakra; about 90 percent of such tilted maps are drawn that way. If in doubt, rotate the map until one straight side is straight and take the tilt from that side.
There is no rule. Drawn the opposite way, the same line reads 180 degrees more, for example 208.9 instead of 28.9; subtracting 180 gives the same answer, so a line can never give a wrong result just because of the direction in which it was drawn.
Copy them and paste them into the Google Earth search bar, which takes you to the place. Then draw a straight line along a wall of the building to get the degree. A degree taken from the centre is wrong; the centre only tells you which direction a room is in.
If the plan came tilted and was not drawn to zero degrees, rotate the paper until one straight side of the plan is exactly straight, checking it against a straight line. Do the full zoning in that position, and only then turn the page back as it was.
Google Earth gives the best accuracy. Use whichever method you understand well, the mobile app or Google Earth, and practise drawing the yellow ruler line: if it shows 28 degrees, North lies at 0 behind it and the chakra is turned 28 degrees to the left.
The swar running at that moment decides it. Dowsing must be done in Surya swar, in its earth element; when it is done in the wrong swar the instrument does not move or gives wrong results.
Accept only Vedic vastu, and accept a rule only when it is backed by the scriptures (granth); a lot of baseless vastu is going around. The difference shows in the element order: the chakras from throat to base hold space, air, fire, water and earth, and a system that reverses this changes the order of creation itself. India was regarded as the guru of the world for its knowledge, so there is no need to borrow foreign deities such as Fuk Luk Sau or the laughing Buddha for wealth.
Protection methods are taught in later classes. Even with protection, very strong negative energy will make the body react while you are there, just as wind touches you whatever shield you make, but with a protective shield (suraksha kavach) it cannot do more than that reaction.
That is a negative mindset. Big names often do small work; those who learned wrongly have to work harder to remove it, while a beginner needs less effort to learn it right. Keep practising and watch the class videos again and again.
