After sunset the Moon pours its full energy first into the West, just as the sun pours its energy into the North-East before sunrise, so the West is the zone of profit and gains.
The Sun sets in the West but the effect falls on WNW, which brings tears, so Vedic vastu calls it the rudan kaksh (crying room); it is the zone of depression and low mood. It is the ideal place for a septic tank and suits waste and storage uses.
Having poured out all its energy in the West, the Moon is empty by the West-North-West, and the magnetic field and gravitational force become imbalanced there. This is the zone of depression, called the rudan kaksh (weeping room) in the texts, where the energy brings tears.
From 4:30 pm until sunset the Sun's rays turn cool and soothe the brain's neurons and glial cells, so WSW is the education zone and is very good for studying children. Most activities are allowed, but no fire, toilet or main door.
The West-South-West receives the energy of its opposite zone, the East-North-East, whose playfulness brings the water element and concentration to the neurons and glial cells. It is the best zone for study, and the sun, magnetic field and gravitational force strengthen memory here.
A basement is a fully dug (100% underground) floor where sun rays and cosmic energy cannot reach, making it a dead part where the planets cannot spread their energy.
Dowsing is the method of making an unknown or hidden object known, whether in the ground or in the body. The person is the dowser; a rod, pendulum or coconut is only a bridge that shows the movement, triggered by the hydro and geopathic currents rising from the earth.
Recap of the main department of each of the eight directions, used to match rooms and activities to zones.
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.
A doctor's chamber is the best use of the Parjanya pad, and a conference room, a bedroom for peace and deep sleep, or a bath (yog snan) also suit it. A toilet or a main door here causes delays and female dominance.
Drawing room, office, puja room, conference room, underground water tank, borewell and a bedroom for elders suit the Shikhi pad. A main door, kitchen or toilet here harms the residents.
If a regular plot is almost fully used, with only small strips left, zone the complete plot. If a small building stands on a large plot with parking, a garden and open land, zone the constructed area for the house, and also zone the complete area to place the boundary gate, boring, dug well, servant room, security cabin, temple, garden and swimming pool.
On large plots such as villas, kothis and farmhouses, the whole plot inside the boundary wall is zoned for the gate and outbuildings, while the house itself is zoned on its constructed area alone.
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.
Start with Vishwakarma Prakash, the simplest, available in Hindi with the Sanskrit shlokas and their meaning (translated by Krishna Kumar Jugnu of Udaipur). Then read Mayamatam, both parts of Samarangana Sutradhara, Manasara and Raj Vallabh.
Each zone suits a particular worship: North for Saraswati and Ganesh, NNE for pranic sadhana, NE and East for meditation, South for Hanuman and Devi, West best of all, while SE, SSE and SSW suit no puja.
Vastu devta pooja bears fruit only when done by someone who represents Brahmin qualities by conduct rather than birth: vegetarian, of good character and pure in mind and feeling.
The centre, zoning, devtas and marma are taken on every area the residents can access and use, such as parking, a small garden, terraces and balconies. Only when a large part of the land lies unused is the constructed area zoned on its own.
The house as a whole is planned from the chart of the head of the family whose money built it, while a member's own room can follow that member's chart.
The house facing, main door and common areas are chosen from the grih swami's (owner's) kundli, while each member's bedroom and study are planned from that member's own kundli.
The left side is the chandra nadi, used for stable and timely work, and the left hand represents the North, where Mercury, the planet of clocks, lives; so the watch is worn on the left hand.
The earth is tilted 23.4 degrees toward the North-East. When a plot, plan and floor are sloped the same way, with the North-East kept lowest, the land falls in line with nature and absorbs the full energy, which collects most in the North-East.
Windows and ventilators work on the lighter, higher layers of energy and are needed to let negativity out. Place them on the allowed padas, make them open outward, keep them in even numbers and ideally two-shuttered, and open them every morning.
A home cannot keep all 45 devta pads empty. Wooden furniture placed on any devta's pad, even on its most vital point (ati marma), is not considered a dosh; the vedic rule is to protect the ashtamansh, the sensitive one-eighth part of the pad.
Solid wooden flooring is the best, ceramic tiles suit business, vitrified tiles are acceptable, and laminate (melamine, a petroleum by-product) should be avoided.
Whenever any item, such as a pyramid, is put into the ground for vastu treatment, yellow mustard is added with it as the strongest catalyst. It must be buried deep enough and kept away from moisture, or it sprouts and cracks the floor.
Yellow mustard (Siddhartha) is the main protective and success-giving mustard; the red and brown mustard used in cooking also serves for nazar; white mustard, now rare in India, carries the strongest Moon influence and is the best for business success.
No zone suits everyone: a South-West bedroom, a West-South-West study, a bed in the West, or a South-facing seat or door can harm a person whose planet ruling that zone is debilitated.
Each direction has colours that suit it and colours to avoid, based on the friendship and enmity of the planets ruling the zones.
Grid the kitchen from its own centre and place items by zone: the refrigerator in SE, South, West or ideally NW, spices in the South, knives and cutlery in the SW, drinking water in NNE or ENE and the vegetable basket in the East.
