Auspicious Omens on the Way to See a Plot or Flat
Certain mangalik (auspicious) sights on the way to a property show that the plot or flat is very auspicious and will keep filling life with happiness.
Prediction
Omens (Nimitta and Shakun) When Going to Inspect Land
What happens on the way to see a plot and at the moment of stepping onto it is itself a test of the land. Injuries, sneezing, frightening encounters, breakdowns and accidents are read as signs, along with what one meets on the way, such as a full kalash, a dog or a pig.
What it does
Uses omens to judge land before buying it.
When
On the way to the land and at the first step onto it

How to do it
- 1Watch for signs while going to inspect the land: a foot injury, a sneeze, a person whose sight frightens you, a vehicle breakdown or an accident.
- 2Watch what happens on stepping onto the land: the foot twisting, an injury, or a bird dropping falling on you.
- 3Note what you meet on the way, such as a full kalash, a dog or a pig.
- 4Use these signs together with the other tests to decide on the land.
Explanation and notes
Shakun shastra and ashtang nimitta (the eight kinds of omens) are among the subjects a Vastu practitioner must know; the meaning of each sign is taught in those classes.

Principleदिशा से पहले दशा
Land Energy Comes Before Direction (Dasha Before Disha)
The word Vastu comes from the Sanskrit vas, the land of residence, so the condition of the land is judged before any direction. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result.
Principleवास्तु की परिभाषा
Core Definitions of Vastu from the Classical Texts
Vastu is defined in complementary ways: the land of residence, the architectural art of coordinating nature and human, orientation according to the sun, the free movement of air, a structure that controls the mind, the management of universal energy and the balance of the five elements.
Principleवायु का निर्बाध आवागमन
Ventilation in Every Room: Vastu as the Free Movement of Air
Energy rising from the land (geopathic) meets energy from the planets and stars (cosmic) and forms a third energy that can turn intense or toxic when mixed with household activity, so it must be able to leave the house. Every room therefore needs ventilation.
Principle
Thin Walls and Large Openings for Morning Sun, Thick Walls for Afternoon Sun
Early morning sun brings positive ultraviolet rays rich in vitamins and metals, while after about 2 pm the rays turn infrared. Openings and wall thickness are planned accordingly so the building admits good energy and blocks harmful energy.
Principle
What Sun Rays Carry at Each Time of the Morning
Sun rays are described as miracle rays that carry silver, gold, iron, mercury, lead and other minerals as well as vitamin D and vitamin B12, each at a particular time around sunrise. No electric light can supply these.
Muhurta
Start Auspicious Work Only in Daytime, While the Sun Is Up
Griha arambh (start of construction), griha pravesh, factory opening and other auspicious (mangalik) events are held in daytime, because work begun with the sun's energy goes well. After sunset creation is considered asleep.
Principleचंद्र भेदी
Longer North-South Axis for Magnetic Attraction (Chandra-Bhedi Plan)
The sun's movement from East to West creates a magnetic effect with North and South poles. A plot, building, room or hall whose North-South axis is longer (chandra-bhedi) holds the strongest magnetic field, giving attraction and concentration; one whose East-West axis is longer is called surya-bhedi.
Energy Boosting
Magnets and Hematite on the North-South Axis to Raise the Magnetic Field
When a plot's North-South axis is short, the magnetic field is increased by planning every room long in the North-South direction or, failing that, by placing heavy magnets and hematite mineral on the North-South axis.
