Questions and Answers

The left side is the chandra nadi and the right side the surya nadi. The surya nadi is for fierce or aggressive work, while timely and stable work belongs to the chandra nadi: shilanyas and griha pravesh are done in the chandra nadi at a fixed muhurta, so the watch, which keeps you on time, goes on the left. Also, in the vastu of the human body the left hand represents the North, where Mercury lives and where the clock is hung.

Some part of the house will have an open North; plant there. Small pots can also be kept up in the North; there is no problem.

Only one tall tree is allowed in the North-East, the coconut, which draws cosmic energy from above and passes it down. No other tall tree should stand there. If one already exists and cannot be cut, plant energy-capturing plants such as tulsi in the North and plant tulsi all around the tree.

The ishaan (North-East) should be correct, along with the North and the East.

A dressing room has four walls, so fix the mirror on its North or East wall. If the wash basin is already in the South and its mirror must be there, fix a mirror of the same size on the North wall; the pit made in the South is matched by one opposite and the effect evens out.

No. Wardrobe mirrors also belong on the North or East wall. Some say the North-West is also allowed because the mirror represents the water element and the Moon.

If you need a partition between the North and the East, make this painting on the glass partition there. If you do not want glass, the painting can be made on cloth and hung instead.

Yes, if there is a dead end it can be made in a flat too, but first see what needs opening. If a direction such as the North or East is completely closed, it can also be opened this way.

First see what Mercury is in your chart (exalted, bhagyesh or lagnesh, which supports health) and where it sits. If its own colour cannot be used in that zone, use the colours of Mercury's friends, and the colours of the friends of that zone's element must also be taken.

It falls under surrounding (assisting) vastu and affects you about 10 percent. Its energy can be treated and blocked if you can reach it. Do not build a temple in that North spot; at least never keep God beneath a toilet seat.

Yes, a mirror can be used, and East is also acceptable. Better still, place the tijori where it faces correctly, because it receives the energy of whatever it faces; facing Kuber's direction it receives Kuber's energy.

Green is best for the North; blue is for the North-East.

No problem at all. Flowering plants represent Mercury, so keeping them in the North strengthens a weak Mercury. Keep up good work such as paying for poor children's education and sharing knowledge.
