Vastu Direction For Flats: Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science that guides the direction and energy flow of a house, flat, or any building. Nowadays, most people live in apartments or flats rather than independent houses, making it essential to understand the Vastu direction of a flat and whether it is auspicious for the residents.
According to Vastu Shastra, the primary direction of a house is determined by the direction of its main entrance. This is essential because the direction and energy flow have a direct impact on the health, mental peace, wealth, and prosperity of the home.
What You Need To Check Your Flat’s Direction
- You don’t need any complicated equipment to check your flat’s correct direction.
- You can simply use a compass or smartphone app.
- First, stand at the main door of your flat.
- Facing the outside, not the inside of the door.
- Hold your mobile phone or compass in front of you and see which direction the needle is pointing.
- The direction of the compass will be the Vastu direction of your flat.
Results According to the Four Main Directions of a Flat
East Facing Flat
- Being in the direction of the Sun, it is considered the most auspicious.
- Positive energy, health, and knowledge increase in the home.
- Having a door facing east allows morning sunlight to enter, purifying the environment.
- Flats built in this direction are auspicious for education, fame, and reputation.
North Facing Flat
- This direction is considered the direction of wealth and prosperity, as it is the direction of Lord Kubera.
- North-facing flats bring financial stability, job growth, and business growth.
- The home is always cool and bright in this direction.
South Facing Flat
- The south direction is associated with the fire element, so it is considered somewhat challenging.
- If proper Vaastu is followed for this direction (such as the correct door position, color, and element balance), it can also be auspicious.
- In a south-facing flat, the door should be in the southeast corner.
West Facing Flat
- This direction represents stability and social success.
- A west-facing flat receives sunset light, which keeps the home warm.
- This direction is considered auspicious for working professionals.
- However, special attention should be paid to ventilation in a west-facing house.
Some Precautions Regarding The Direction Of The Flat
- There should not be a wall or stairs directly in front of the main door.
- There should not be a toilet, shoes, or clutter in front of the door.
- Keep the entrance of the flat clean and well-lit.
- It is auspicious to place a Swastika, Om, or a picture of Lord Ganesha on the door.
- If there are Vastu defects, crystal balls or plants can be placed to balance them.
