Astro Vastu

Astro Vastu is an approach that combines principles of Vastu Shastra(an ancient Indian system of architecture) with astrology to create a harmonious living environment. In Astro Vastu, different planets are believed to rule different directions of a house.

1. Sun (Surya): Governs the East direction. As the soul of the universe, it nourishes every being with life. The East is linked to new beginnings, health, and vitality. Placing the main entrance or windows in this direction can invite abundant positive energy.

2. Moon (Chandra): Governs the North-West direction. Due to its waxing and waning nature, the Moon can cause unstable emotions in occupants. Therefore, this quadrant is not recommended for married couples, making it ideal for guest bedrooms.”

3. Mars (Mangal): Governs the South direction. Due to Mars’ unparalleled strength and vigor, this direction imparts strength, courage, and leadership to its occupants. It is best suited for bedrooms in homes and offices for senior officials in commercial areas.

4. Mercury (Budh): Governs the North direction. Associated with communication and intelligence, Mercury is crucial for business and wealth generation (Kuber), which rules the North. Therefore, this direction is ideal for accountants and placing safes for storing wealth.

5. Jupiter (Guru): Governs the North-East direction, regarded as the most auspicious. It symbolizes wisdom, spirituality, and prosperity. This direction is ideal for a prayer room or meditation space at home, or a conference room in the office to facilitate optimal decision-making for the company.

6. Venus (Shukra): Governs the South-East direction. Venus is associated with wealth, prosperity, and comfort. Therefore, this direction is ideal for the kitchen, allowing you to enjoy nutritious and healthy food cooked while facing East, the direction of the rising sun.

7. Saturn (Shani): Rules the West direction. Saturn is associated with discipline and hard work.
Placing bedrooms for young adults, dining rooms, or storage areas in the West direction can be beneficial.

8. Rahu, a shadow planet, governs the southwest zone. It symbolizes materialism, obsession, and illusion. To mitigate its negative influence, it’s important to place heavy objects, use earthy colors, and incorporate symbols of stability. Due to the dominant earth element, the southwest zone is ideal for the master bedroom to promote stability in life.

By aligning the functions of your home with these planetary influences, Astro Vastu seeks to enhance the flow of positive energy and create a balanced living environment.
