Explanation and notes
East: good for politicians, people with an exalted Sun, students and UPSC aspirants. ESE: hypertension, arguments, hyperacidity. SE: not for sleeping; with a debilitated Venus, bad thoughts, little sleep and many dreams. SSE: raises pitta, so good for kapha and vata types but not pitta types. South: excellent, deepest sleep, name, fame, respect and power. SSW: negative emotions and thoughts. SW: with exalted Rahu-Ketu it lifts a person to the peak, with a debilitated Rahu it brings hell-like suffering. WSW: excellent for everyone whatever the planets. West: for exalted or normal Saturn. WNW: leads to depression. NW: less sleep and business thoughts during sleep. NNW: best for newly married couples, but leave it after 50 to 55 and never sleep there after 60. North: for those with good Mercury and best for children. NNE: best for elderly and unwell people. NE: small children till adulthood and elders, not couples (aversion and quarrels). ENE: good for children. People with an exalted Jupiter or Gaj Kesari yoga have slept in the NE all their lives and done very well. We sleep about 33 of every 100 years, so the bedroom is the most important room.
Interior work is done to change the mind, because everything follows from the mind. Pictures, colours and objects (chitra) change the state of mind (chitt), so the goal the mind should be led to must be fixed first.
Recap of the main department of each of the eight directions, used to match rooms and activities to zones.
Each direction is the seat of a planet with its own metal; keeping that metal in that direction captures and multiplies the planet's energy there and neutralises negative energy.
Only about 55 percent of the Sun's energy reaches the earth. Of that, trees and plants capture about 95 percent, mirrors 80, pyramids 65, water 60, yantras 60 to 90, metals 45 and stones 35, while plastic and petroleum by-products capture none.
In older vastu practice mirrors were the main tool of dosh nivaran: a mirror can make a cut area look larger or an oversized extension look smaller.
Water absorbs about 60 percent of the Moon's energy; a silver pot of water kept in the Sharad Purnima moonlight becomes a strong medicine for acidity.
A bell or ghanta made of ashtadhatu contains the metals of all nine planets, so ringing it spreads vibrations through the whole house and pacifies the planets.
Planets act most strongly on particular objects: the Moon on white objects and liquids, the Sun and Mars on fire, light and electricity, Mars also on floors and land, Saturn on metal, dug land and machines, Jupiter on temples and the tijori, Venus on luxury objects and Mercury on TV, telephone and electronics.
