The South, South-West and West build skill and capability. When the land there is low and the construction in these zones is also the lowest, skills and Saturn (Shani) turn against the owner, and the business does not get the wealth and opportunities it should.
Opposite zones are linked along the diagonal: whenever a house has a defect in the North-East, the South-West, its diagonal opposite, will carry a defect as well.
Certain main door pads bring particular mishaps: road, fire and electrical accidents, raids, government trouble, illness and labour strikes.
The zone of an element can bear any amount of that element, so increasing fire in the South-East or South-South-East does not bring theft, fire or accidents, just as raising the South-West only strengthens its earth element.
Each planet rules a direction (Sun East, Mercury North, Saturn West, Rahu South-West); if that planet is debilitated, badly placed or very low in degree in a person's kundli, a house facing, bedroom, office seat or study in its direction harms them.
Build a basement only in the North, NNE, NE, East and ENE, or as a full basement that lets sun rays in; never in the South, South-West or the Brahmasthan.
A boring, dug well, pit or underground water tank gives very different results in each of the 16 zones: the North and North-East zones attract wealth, while the South, South-West and the centre bring death-like suffering and money loss.
When the neighbouring house in the East is taller than yours, you lose the energy of the sun. Either add a storey or raise a metal flag of brass in the South-West of your roof, higher than the neighbour's building, so that your building starts receiving cosmic energy.
A swastik made of gomti chakra on a 5 x 5 inch brass plate is fixed on both sides of a door in the South-South-West, West-South-West or East. It corrects the door defect without demolition and also works when those zones have another defect or are low-lying.
To find whether a floor or plot is low toward the South-West or slopes toward the North-East, pour water on it and watch where it flows; a spirit level, or a contour map for land, gives the same answer.
Each mulank (root number of the birth date) belongs to a planet, and the direction of that planet is the favourable door side: 1 East, 2 North-West, 3 North-East, 4 and 7 South-West, 5 North, 6 South-East, 8 West and 9 South.
A coconut thrown up on a land falls towards the direction of its strongest gravitational force; falling in an auspicious direction shows good energy, falling towards the South-South-West, West or South shows bad energy.
A cut or extended corner is corrected without construction by hanging a cloth potli filled with gomti chakra in that corner: white in the North-East, red in the South-East, yellow in the South-West and white in the North-West.
A corner extended from both its sides gives strong results: an extended North-East makes residents healthy, wealthy and religious, while extended South-East, South-West and North-West corners bring disputes, illness, business collapse, mental illness and forced migration.
The earth element is golden yellow, square, located in the South-West and solid, heavy and dense by nature; in a house it is represented by the land energy, the plot shape and the slope. Balanced, it gives the greatest stability and success; disturbed, it brings business uncertainty and unhealthy relationships.
An earth element mandna in golden yellow with white (water, the friend of earth), light yellow inside and a dark orange centre is drawn when there is a defect in the South-West.
The earth element has a square shape, golden yellow colour, South-West location and brass as its metal; land energy, plot shape, slope, surroundings, POP plaster and the dehleez represent it.
Mars with Rahu forms Angarak yoga, the accident yoga, and with the Moon added it also troubles the mind; a painting of an elephant with raised trunk bathing in water in the South-West or South protects against it.
A solid cube-shaped platform (chabutra) built in the South-West corner balances the earth element and Rahu-Ketu, which in turn balances the entire house.
Gomti chakra spread under the mattress, or kept under a child's pillow, sharpens the mind and prevents bad dreams. It also gives restful sleep to people who have to sleep in a wrong zone such as the South-South-West or West-North-West.
The belief that the North-West, West or South-West must have no greenery is wrong: plants can go in every direction, and a vastu expert should never get a tree cut but should plant auspicious trees beside it instead.
The South-West holds the earth element, whose nature is solid, heavy and dense, so this zone is kept solid, heavy and compact with the fewest openings. Infrared rays also arrive from the South-West at a particular time of day, another reason to keep it closed.
Love birds, as a metal artefact or a painting, placed in the South-West improve love life; use them where husband and wife have differences.
The S8 door is called mrityu dwar (death door) and should never be made, even by mistake.
A Nandi placed on a golden yellow Geo Vastu chabutra in the South-West of the office, facing North, increases business skill and draws customers.
Where business is not running well and there is no stability, build a chabutra (platform) in the SW or SSW and install Nandi on it facing North; Nandi represents the earth element and coordination.
A dug well in a wrong zone, such as the South-West, must not simply be filled up suddenly; it is closed through a proper method (vidhi), the vastu registry of a dug well. Closing it carelessly can increase the trouble.
The four directions arose from Brahma's four faces and the four corner directions from his four arms, or from his four manas putras. Each is linked to a Veda or Upaveda: East to the Rigveda, South to the Yajurveda, West to the Samaveda and North to the Atharvaveda; South-East to Ayurveda, South-West to Dhanurveda and North-East to Sthapatya Veda, with Gandharva Veda completing the four.
An overhead tank can be built anywhere from the West to the North-West; NNW and the South-West are wrong, and a tank over the staircase is best avoided.
The overhead tank belongs in the NW, the Moon's place, or in Varun's West. Most people wrongly build it in the SW, which is dry Rahu-Ketu territory with very intense infrared.
