When leaving the house, first move clockwise, to your right, from the main door. A door from which people go out anticlockwise is called heen bahu dwar and gives less of its result.
Twitching of an eye on reaching a land shows its quality, read in opposite ways for men and women: the right eye is auspicious for a man and the left eye for a woman.
During study, meditation, puja, bhajan, meals and bathing, one should face North or East.
Facing North uses the earth's magnetic field for attraction and focus: in business the owner faces North to draw customers, cash drawers and the tijori face North, and tratak or hypnotism is practised facing North.
Design the main door like a face: two shutters as the nostrils, two small niches as the eyes, two jharokhas as the ears, an Om or swastik as the tilak, and the threshold and upper frame as the lips. Ancient texts say such decoration multiplies the power of the main door many times.
The deity faces East first and North second, never South; the worshipper faces North for wealth, East for spiritual progress and South or West for tantra, and before a consecrated idol all directions become zero.
A solid wooden false ceiling without gaps is the best; a glass ceiling is acceptable if fully sealed, while fibre, steel or other metal, synthetic fabric and PVC ceilings disturb energy.
A ceiling's shape brings its element into the room, so ceilings are shaped by zone: half-moon in water zones, a round dome at the Brahmasthan, a rectangle in South and West bedrooms, and never a triangle.
Each of these main door pads creates differences in the family for a particular reason, from anger and lies to poverty and crooked relatives; N6, S6 and S8 set father and son against each other.
A family photo should show everyone full length with smiling faces, and the faces of the living must turn to the North, the living direction; NNW suits family attraction, but the direction the faces look matters more than the wall.
Never hang photos or paintings in which hands, feet or heads are cut off. Hang family photos with smiling faces on the South wall, with the faces looking towards the North.
The map-compass app shared in class shows a satellite map with two red axis lines. After locating the building and rotating the lines parallel to its walls, the degree shown at the top is the building's degree.
Google Earth on a laptop or PC gives the most accurate degree: open the client's location, confirm the building, draw a straight ruler line along one wall and read its heading. That heading shows how far the building is turned from North.
Join both hands under the nostrils and breathe out once; the nostril whose air strikes the back of the palms more strongly is the active swar.
The birth chart shows which direction is strong for a person: the direction holding exalted planets, or else the most benefic planets, is the one to face, sleep and work in. Planet colours from the chart guide health, business and decoration choices.
Without software, the centre (nabhi) of an irregular plot or flat is found as the centre of gravity of a cut-out of its shape: hang it from two different points, mark the vertical line each time, and the lines cross at the centre.
The centre of a regular plot is where its two diagonals cross. For an irregular plot, use the geometric centre in AutoCAD, CorelDraw or an image editing tool, or the manual method of hanging a paper cut-out of the plan from a pin.
When nothing is built on or around a plot yet, ask the engineer to draw the surrounding roads on the plan, straighten the road in the map and take the road's degree. Alternatively, take the degree of a parallel neighbouring building, ask the engineer which line the house will follow, or visit the site.
The side of the chart that holds more than two planets, with at least one exalted or swagrahi planet at a good degree, is the direction that brings a person progress and happiness.
A person's element comes from the janma rashi, the rashi number written with the Moon (Cha) in the kundali. Writing the 12 rashis in order under Fire, Earth, Air and Water gives each element three rashis.
The bedroom colour should combine the zone colour with the colour that awakens your fortune; without a horoscope, find that colour by browsing a full colour catalogue and noting the colours you instinctively like.
Bhrisha loves the champa and firdaus fragrances; use firdaus ittar when offering bhog or havan samagri, and apply it when the mind cannot concentrate or reach a decision.
The fire element is triangular, orange (red also represents it), located in the South-East, hot, dry and bright, and ruled by the Sun and Mars. Sunlight, gas stoves, transformers, generators and inverters represent it; balanced it gives name, fame and financial gain, imbalanced it takes them away.
Industry itself is fire and labour also represents fire, so the fire element is the backbone of any industry. A furnace (bhatti) in the wrong place, or with even a slightly changed angle, directly hits profit.
If the fire element is imbalanced a factory will not run and business stops, and lighting a fire is not always possible, so a fire element mandna (containing a swastik) is made in the South-East.
The fire element has a triangular shape, red and orange colours, South-East location and copper as its metal; sunlight, the gas stove, transformer, generator, kitchen and anything red or triangular represent it.
Fire and water destroy each other, so fire placed in the North-East water zone, or a boring or water body in the South-East fire zone, causes loss of money, name and fame.
The five chakras from the throat downwards hold the five elements in the same order as creation: Vishuddhi holds space, Anahata air, Manipur fire, Swadhishthan water and Muladhara earth.
On a Shani Amavasya night, sleeping with five energised gomti chakra, one for each of the five elements, under the pillow and asking for the cause of a problem brings the whole story, and even the remedy, in a dream.
For a door in a bad position, five potlis of yellow mustard are made in the five colours of the five elements and hung at the door, hidden behind mango leaves or a mango-leaf bandanwar. This reduces the door's defect to the minimum.
