Here’s a detailed explanation of Vastu principles for each of the four sides or directions:
- North (Kubera)
- South (Yamraj)
- East (Indra)
- West (Varuna)
Element: Water
Ruling Deity: Lord Kubera (God of Wealth)
Vastu Guidelines:
Entrance: The main entrance from the north is considered highly auspicious for financial prosperity, as Kubera is the god of wealth. The north door should be wide and well-lit, as it invites positive energy and wealth into the home or building.
Windows and Openings: North-facing windows should allow ample natural light and ventilation. They should not be obstructed by heavy trees or other structures outside.
Rooms: The north is ideal for the placement of the living room, lobby, or office area. It is also considered good for the storage of money or valuables.
Water Elements: Water features such as fountains or small ponds are most favorable when placed in the north, as the water element nourishes wealth.
Colors: Shades of blue, green, or light grey are favorable in this direction.
Element: Fire
Ruling Deity: Lord Yama (God of Death and Justice)
Vastu Guidelines:
Entrance: The south direction should generally not be used as the main entrance. A south-facing entrance can lead to conflicts, accidents, or financial losses if not well-maintained. If used, it should be properly balanced and not excessively wide.
Windows and Openings: South-facing windows should be kept smaller to prevent the harsh sun rays and excess heat, which can lead to negative energy accumulation.
Rooms: The south is best used for heavy furniture, machinery, and storage areas. It is also ideal for placing the master bedroom as it provides stability, but it should be located towards the southwest corner.
Colors: Shades of red, orange, or pink are considered auspicious for this direction. These colors resonate with the fire element and help balance energy in the south.
Element: Air
Ruling Deity: Lord Indra (King of the Gods, associated with prosperity, wealth, and rain)
Vastu Guidelines:
Entrance: An east-facing entrance is highly auspicious. It invites positive energies and is considered the most favorable direction for an entrance. It is ideal for attracting good fortune, spiritual growth, and harmony.
Windows and Openings: East-facing windows should be larger to allow in ample sunlight and fresh air, ensuring that the space remains airy, bright, and positive.
Rooms: The east is suitable for places like the prayer room, study, meditation room, or living room. It’s ideal for places where family members gather to interact or for activities requiring mental clarity.
Colors: Light colors like white, cream, or yellow are ideal for the east. These colors are associated with mental clarity and enlightenment.
Important Tip: The sun rises from the east, so it’s good to align spaces with this direction for a positive, energizing environment.
Element: Earth
Ruling Deity: Lord Varuna (God of Water)
Vastu Guidelines:
Entrance: A west-facing entrance is not generally recommended for the main entrance, as it is associated with a decrease in wealth and prosperity. However, if it is the only option, ensure the door is not too large and the energy is balanced.
Windows and Openings: West-facing windows should be moderate in size. Too many windows in this direction can lead to an imbalance of energy.
Rooms: The west is favorable for placing the children’s bedroom, guest room, or storage area. This direction is also good for areas associated with rest or relaxation.
Colors: Shades of brown, beige, or earthy tones are suitable for the west. These colors help anchor and stabilize the energy in this direction.
Water Elements: West is not a favorable direction for placing water features like fountains or pools, as it can create an imbalance of energy and lead to potential conflicts or disharmony.
General Vastu Principles for All Four Side
- Center of the House (Brahmasthan)
- Balance of Elements
- Shape and Layout
- Symmetry and Alignment
The center of the house should be kept open and free from heavy structures, as it represents the balance of energy for the entire home. Avoid placing bathrooms, storerooms, or large furniture in this space.
Each direction corresponds to a different element (earth, water, fire, air) and deity. Balancing these elements is key to maintaining harmony in a space. Always avoid excess or scarcity of any one element in a given direction.
The layout of the building should ideally be square or rectangular. Irregular shapes can create imbalances in energy.
Ensure that doors, windows, and furniture are aligned with the directions to maximize positive energy flow.
