Have you ever thought why some homes are at peace and prosperous while others are caught in a struggle? Could the planetary alignments and the energies of a place affect your happiness, success, and well-being? Similarly, if your fate is ruled by astrology, the home energies will be dictated by Vastu: So, will your horoscope pinpoint the right home for you?
“Astrology reveals the will of the gods; Vastu arranges our environment according to that divine will.”
This quote defines the perfect connection between astrology and Vastu. As astrology is a cosmic map that predicts our destiny, Vastu gives a vision of creating blissful spaces with that destiny. When these two sciences come together, they create a dreaming life that radiates positivity, health, and prosperity.
The Link Between Astrology & Logical Vastu™
Vastu Shastra, an Indian architectural science whose main goal is to improve energy flow of a space, which is guided by the strategic arrangement of the home. On the other side astrological study indicates the planetary positions and how they influence human life. Thereby, both Vastu and astrology understand that celestial energies richly shape our individual experiences, and at their collaboration, they do provide scientifically-founded solutions for one’s home according to one’s astrological chart.
In general, each and every individual is awarded with a different astrological layout in its very own category, depending upon the birth chart, or Janam Kundali. Just like planets influence different aspects of life, directions are also influenced by specific heavenly bodies. For example:
The North is governed by Mercury (Budh) – testing intelligence and communication.
The South is governed by Mars (Mangal)– testing energy and ambition.
The East is ruled by the Sun (Surya)– a channel for power and prana, a carrier of energy.
The West is governed by Saturn (Shani)– channeling discipline and stability.
An insight into these planetary influences makes us identify the best house that will complement an individual’s strengths and weaknesses based on their zodiac signs.
Common Problems Due to Vastu and Astrology Mismatch
Many a time, people live with persistent problems, never thinking about the energy of space might be the reason . Here are some of the issues usually arising out of Vastu and astrological misalignment:
1. Financial Issues
Blocking or cluttering of the North-East corner of the house would generate instability in the state of finances. In co-existence to this, bothered Jupiter (Guru) in the birth chart can worsen the scenario for anything money-related.
2. Health Issues
When the bedroom is poorly placed in the South-East (governed by Venus and fire), it can trouble you, cause sleeplessness, and create health problems. Astrologically speaking, if, in your chart, the Moon (Chandra) is weak, it detains emotional and mental health.
3. Career Setbacks
Direction of the North , which is ruled by Mercury, can worsen the situation of career, if the kitchen is placed in this particular region. A weak or adversely placed Saturn (Shani) within the birth chart emphasizes any professional setbacks.
4. Conflicts in Relationships
If the bedroom in the North-West which is governed by the moon is imbalanced, it may create conflicts in marital life. Weak Venus (Shukra) in your horoscope would create a problem in love and relationships.
5. Absence of Mental Peace
A main entrance of your space facing inauspicious direction conducive to the horoscope will keep an individual stressed and anxious. Very weak Rahu or Ketu in the birth chart will further disrupt peace and balance.
Solutions : How to align your space with Horoscope
1. Choose a Home according to your Birth Chart
Consult an astrologer for the best direction for you. If your Ascendant (Lagna) is Aries, a home with an East-facing direction would be best. Likewise, a South-facing house might be great for Scorpio ascendants.
2. Correct Your Main Entrance Direction
The entrance of your home needs to be in an auspicious direction according to your birth chart. So if your ruling planet favors the East or North, a main door should be aligned accordingly; for inauspicious entrances, place a Vastu pyramid or a Swastika symbol to help neutralize the effects.
3. Balance the Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhutas)
Each planets influence correlate with one of the five elements
Earth (Prithvi) – Stability
Water (Jal) – Emotion and Prosperity.
Fire (Agni) – Energy and Transformation
Air (Vayu) – Intellect and Communication.
Space (Aakash) – Expansion and Growth.
Ensure proper balancing of these elements in your home. For instance: Adding the water body in North increases finance, while keeping an earthen pot in South-West gives relationship stability.
4. Rectifying Inauspicious Vastu Doshas
If you have Vastu doshas (defects) in your home, use these easy remedies to rectify your damage:
- Put a mirror on the North wall to enhance financial growth.
- Put rock salt in corners to absorb negative energy.
- Light diya in the South-East to balance fire energy and prevent disputes.
- Use blue curtains or decor in the West to strengthen the stability of Saturn.
5. Strengthen Yourself through Vastu Remedies for Weak Planets
If some of the planets are weak on your horoscope, they can be made strong with the help of Vastu remedies:
- If Jupiter (Guru) is weak, place a yellow sapphire or keep a brass item in the North-East for wisdom and prosperity enhancement.
- If Venus (Shukra) is weak, then white-decorative items and keep your bedroom tidy, for better relationships.
- If Mars (Mangal) is weak, then keeping red coral stone towards South may give less aggression and conflict.
6. Orientation of Important Spaces
- Bedroom: In the South-West for stability.
- Kitchen: South-East is best for balancing fire energy.
