Vastu for Harmony at Home and Success in Business

Shapes with non-straight angles and amorphous forms bring different kinds of problems.

A triangle – a triangular plot may lead to various problems, including problems with the government.

Bhadarshan – not a good shape for residence; only government institutions may be built on such a plot.

A shopping cart shape – a square connected with a rectangle in the center on one side.

This is not a good plot, bringing poverty, crime, and imprisonment.

Such a plot may cause a person to “run like a shopping cart” and constantly want to acquire things.

A very long rectangle (proportions greater than 2:1) – such a plot is absolutely unsuitable for raising cows.

A butterfly – such a plot may negatively influence the eyesight and judgment of the people living on it.

A trapezoid – this plot harms personal relationships and brings a married couple to court; it leads the couple to poverty and negatively affects health.

A drum shape and a rectangle with cut corners – such a plot will lead to the loss of the wife and the women in the family.

An L-shape plot – this type of plot leads to losses.

It can be divided into two parts to create two separate rectangular plots.

A triangle with cut corners – this plot leads to the death of brothers and relatives.

A turtle shape, that is, a cut triangle together with a square – brings murder, imprisonment, and death.

A rectangle with two cut corners (like a window) – such a plot leads to loss of peace of mind and poverty, as well as loss of friends and the appearance of hatred.

A half-circle and two connected triangles – such a plot leads to fear of thieves and criminals, and the person experiences attacks.

An ellipse – loss of women, money, and respect.

A polygon – from such a plot one must extract a quadrilateral for purchase.

An octahedron (eight-sided plot) – considered an auspicious plot for prosperity.

A boat shape – such a plot leads to problems and will hinder progress in life.

A U-shape – it is not recommended to purchase land, buildings, or houses of this shape.

Because the magnetic fields will be distorted, the central place becomes weakened, which leads to various problems.

Construction Process

It is better to grow plants on the land only after it has been purchased.

All trash, roots, thorny plants, and bushes must be removed.

Construction should begin in a good period (from the point of view of astrology); therefore, it is advisable to consult an astrologer, a Jyotish specialist.

The best days for beginning the construction of a house, as a rule, are Monday and Thursday.

It is better not to begin construction if there is a pregnant woman with a pregnancy term of more than 7 months.

Work must not be stopped once it has begun.

Work should be stopped at the end of each day after sunset, and construction should never be carried out at night.

There must usually be an engineer who supervises the construction.

Storage of construction materials must be kept in the southwest corner or the southeast corner of the construction site, at least one meter away from the wall.

Security guards of the property should be located in the southeast part of the house to provide protection from thieves.

The security room must touch the wall surrounding the territory.

This room must also not be high.

Old and used materials must not be used (according to Vastu).

They must be sold, and with this money, new materials should be purchased.

Everything that obstructs the construction process must be taken out and thrown away.

Thorny trees must not be used (including for doors and frames).

When construction begins, it is better to start by laying the drainage pipes.

This is best done in the northern or northeastern part of the plot.

To determine the exact place, one must draw a line from the southwest corner to the northeast corner, marking it from right to left, but not on the line itself.

This should be done at an appropriate astrological time.

The water source must serve only one house.

Kona Sutra – this place is not recommended for use for water pipes.

In the illustration, the building (house) is marked in gray.

One can see that a dashed line goes from the northeast corner of the plot to the southwest corner.

The area that remains between the northeast corner of the plot and the northeast corner of the house is called Kona Sutra.

Drainage pipes are also better installed in the north, northeast, and east.

The directions southwest, southeast, and northwest must not be connected with water in any way.

The digging of the land for the construction of the building should begin at the northeast corner, and continue in the directions of east and north, then south, and finally west.

The walls and the gate of the house must be installed before they begin building the house itself.

Every house and building must have a boundary (a wall around the house, a fence, and so on).

When building the house itself, it is necessary to know whether the time is suitable for construction from an astrological point of view.

The most suitable days for beginning construction are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

It is better to begin building the house from the southwest direction.

The walls (fence) around the house must not be higher than the house itself, but it is preferable that they cover it from the southwest corner.

Also, the northern and eastern walls must be slightly lower than the western and southern walls.

The construction of the foundation must begin from the southwest direction, then move to the southeast, and finish in the northeast.

One should not build on the entire plot.

It is desirable to leave some open space.

At the same time, it is better to build up the entire southwest corner.

Roads (Highways) and Directions

A plot facing a road from the east or from the north is considered good for many areas of life.

A plot facing a road from the west (entrance to the plot from the west) may bring fame and popularity.

A plot facing a road from the south is suitable for business.

Plots with Entry from Two Roads

Roads from the north and east – bring prosperity.

Roads from the east and south – good for women.

Roads from the south and west – bring moderate capital.

Roads from the west and north – considered auspicious.

North and northwest – instability and lack of discipline may lead to illegal dealings.

West and northwest – good for businesspeople and for improving behavior.

Gaumukhi – A type of plot that can be chosen only if the northeast is extended and a road comes from the west or south.

Shermukhi – A good plot shape, provided that the entrance is in the north or east, and there is a road on the north or east side.

Vithi Shoola

Names of roads or lines entering the territory of the plot.

Each direction may bring or take positive or negative energies.

If there are two such roads near the plot, it must not be purchased.

(Vedhi – road, Shool – spear.)

Roads coming from north–northeast and east–northeast are considered good.

They give name, fame, and wealth to the owners of the plot.

A road from south–southeast is favorable for finances but unfavorable for building relationships; therefore, this placement is considered average.

A road from west–northwest is considered average because it brings lack of agreement in the family and mental problems.

A road from north–northwest is considered bad because it leads to business losses, lack of harmony, lack of agreement, and conflicts with relatives.

A road from east–southeast is considered bad because it leads to financial losses, problems related to the law, and family breakdown.

A road from west–southwest is considered very bad because this placement can lead to bankruptcy, lack of harmony, mental problems, lack of balance, and family breakdown.

A road from south–southwest is considered very bad because it can lead to bankruptcy and family breakdown.

A road from the east is considered a bad placement because it can lead to the loss of sons and cause severe behavioral problems that are inhumane.
