Why do some homes with a toilet or kitchen in the North-East, or shops facing South, still prosper?
Because their land energy is high. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result, so on strongly energetic land even an opposite orientation does little harm, while on obstructed or cursed land no orientation helps.

If a home has defects in the North-East, Brahmasthan and South-East that cannot be corrected and the family cannot move out, can correcting the land energy help?
Yes. Land energy carries 70 percent of the role, so changing and correcting it can give about 50 to 60 percent relief. Many large hotels have toilets in the Ishaan and still prosper because 6 to 10 feet of soil was dug out and thrown away, removing the land's negativity. In vastu, dasha (land energy) matters more than disha (direction).
Why should a house door, kitchen or toilet not be built at Shikhi (E1), and which doors are allowed there?
Shikhi sits there and the spot holds heat and fire, so a house door at E1 can cause fire incidents and accidents. A boundary-wall gate is allowed, being in the pishach bhoomi, and so is the door of a temple or other religious building, a school or a college, because such buildings represent Jupiter and become the yogi's own home. A kitchen at Shikhi keeps health poor and brings memory loss, money problems, anger, indecision and a blocked mind, and a toilet there in the North-East stops vansh vriddhi (growth of the family line).
Does a toilet in the North-East always cause cancer, and is every South-facing house bad?
No. If it did, the owners of five and seven star hotels, which commonly have toilets in the North-East, would suffer first, and every South-facing owner would be ruined. Vastu must be read together with the planets of the person, which are exalted and which debilitated, instead of blindly applying one rule to everyone.
Does a toilet in the North-East always cause cancer?
No, that claim is not fully true. Cancer has many factors, and many hotels and homes have NE toilets whose owners never got cancer. A NE toilet does disturb the positive energy of that zone and brings illness, so cancer is possible, but not certain.
Our house has a badly polluted North with a bathroom, and the family faces many problems and quarrels. How can it be corrected?
The North must be corrected and the land energy improved. Where the energy is good, any defects present give only about half their bad results. Household quarrels (grih klesh) are natural while such defects remain.
What should be done if the toilet and kitchen share a common wall?
Inject mercury into the ground along the base of the common wall; once mercury is in place no bacteria can travel across into the kitchen. Ideally a toilet should not be on any of the six sides of a kitchen: in front, behind, on either side, above or below.
