Vastu and Astrology
To attract wealth through Vastu, activate three key directions: the North (governed by Kuber, lord of wealth), the Southeast (fire zone for financial energy), and the West (abundance and stability). Most importantly, clear any Shailya dosha - structural imbalances caused by buried objects, beams, or cut corners - from the Brahmasthan (central zone). According to Vishwakarma Prakash, a clear Brahmasthan is the foundation of prosperity in any home or office.
For an existing home, Vastu correction does not require demolition. As per Lord Vishwakarma, performing Shailyodwar at the Brahmasthan (the central zone of the house) is the primary remedy for existing homes - it harmonizes energy flow throughout the space. (Ref: Vishwakarma Prakash 2.93). Additionally, ensure the main entrance is on an auspicious pad, the kitchen is in a fire-compatible zone, and all Vastu doshas in the northeast and southwest are addressed with appropriate remedies.
Keep the east direction clean and dosha-free. Ensure you’re getting60% protein,30% carbs, adequate water,regular exercise, and20 minutes of daily sunlight.
Direction Vastu
In Vedic Vastu, no direction is inherently bad - all eight directions belong to Lord Brahma and can bring prosperity if used correctly. The key is placing the main entrance on the right Vastu pad (auspicious energy zone) for that direction. North and East entrances are generally favourable for homes, as they invite sunlight and the energy of Kuber (wealth) and Indra (prosperity). South and West entrances can also be auspicious when placed on the correct pad. (Ref: Vishwakarma Prakash, Dvara chapter)
On the western wall.
Preferably on the Varuṇa pad (west), if your main entrance isn’t on the west. Alternatively, you can place it towards the north. (Ref:Jalāśayachapter, Viśwakarma Prakāśa)
Vastu Dosha
According to Manushyalaya Chandrika(Chapter 7), ideal placements include the zones of Vāyu, Īśa, Parjanya, Jayant, Mahendra, Sūrya, Satya, Agni, Pūṣa, or Savitra.
Lockers are best placed on the north wall, or in the west,southwest, or southeast directions.
