Colour Vastu, Interior Materials, False Ceilings and Kundali-Based Interior Remedies

The class first covers colour vastu for interiors: choosing colours from the kundali, the element of the zone and the type of work, the healing qualities of blue, green and red, trade-wise business colours, and the colours recommended or forbidden in each direction. It then reviews interior materials: why oil-based lead paint, PU polish, laminate, POP and fibre, metal or PVC ceilings harm health and energy, how to neutralise fumes with desi cow urine or neem-tulsi, and which floors (sandstone, Kota stone, marble, granite, tiles, wood) suit which spaces. Ceiling and furniture shapes are matched to the element of each zone, and a mirror ceiling at the Brahmasthan gives an open-to-sky effect. The second part teaches astro-vastu interiors: judging planets by nature, exaltation, own sign, retrograde motion and degree, finding the most powerful direction and house facing, placing paintings for specific planetary yogas, and choosing colours from the lords of the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses.

Key points

  • 1Choose interior colours from the kundali, the element of the zone and the type of work
  • 2Blue and green are cooling, antiseptic healing colours; red gives energy for physical work
  • 3Each direction has recommended colours and colours to avoid, such as no red in the North, North-East and North-West
  • 4Never use oil-based lead paint or PU polish where people sleep, work or study; spray desi cow urine if it is already done
  • 5Sandstone and Kota stone are the best floors; marble suits temples and one room only; granite only stairs and windows
  • 6Avoid POP, fibre, metal, fabric and PVC false ceilings; solid wood is best and no hollow gap should remain
  • 7Keep the ceiling (space element) white; red or brown on the ceiling brings fire into space
  • 8A mirror false ceiling at the Brahmasthan creates an open-to-sky effect but must not be used in South or West rooms
  • 9Shape ceilings and furniture by element: half-moon in the North, rectangle from South to West, round at the Brahmasthan, never triangular
  • 10Exalted or own-sign planets give good results even if malefic; retrograde planets act at full power; 10 to 20 degrees is full strength
  • 11The chart direction holding the most planets with an exalted or own-sign planet is the most powerful direction for a person
  • 12Paintings for strong planets: birds for Mercury, rising sun for Sun, calm river for Moon, cow for Venus, fish for Saturn, raised-trunk elephant for Rahu
  • 13Use the colour of the 1st lord for health, 4th for home, 5th for study, 9th for luck, 10th for business and 11th for profit
  • 14Never use the colour of a debilitated or 6-8-12 lord; use neech bhang substitution, donation or beej mantra instead

Remedies21

Remedyगौमूत्र स्प्रे

Desi Cow Urine Spray to Neutralise PU and Oil Paint Fumes

Spraying desi cow urine mixed with water on furniture and surfaces finished with PU, oil-based paint or strong adhesives reduces their harmful effect.

Furniture, shutters and painted surfaces

Remedyगज केसरी योग

Mangal Kalash Installed by a Person with Gaj Kesari Yoga

Gaj Kesari yoga (Jupiter with the Moon, neither debilitated, in a kendra or trikona) is the finest raj yoga; having such a person install the mangal kalash of a home or business makes it prosper manifold.

Home or business premises

Methods and Vidhi1

Methodनीच भंग राज योग

Neech Bhang Colour Substitute for a Debilitated House Lord

Principles and Rules30

Principle

Three Bases for Choosing Interior Colours: Kundali, Zone and Work

Interior colours are selected in three ways: from the kundali (the planets ruling education, business, wealth and luck), from the element of the zone (its own colour or a friendly element colour), and from the work done in the space.

Every room, the office and the building elevation

Principle

Business Colours by Trade: Yellow, Red, White, Green, Black and Grey

Each trade has a supporting colour: yellow for every business, red for jewellery, chemicals, sweets and fire-related work, white for education, cloth and stationery, and green for health; black and grey only in small amounts.

Shops, offices, packaging, logos and sign boards

Principle

PU Polish Hazards and the Natural Wood Polish Alternative

PU (polyurethane) finish on furniture is even more dangerous than oil paint and can cause breathing trouble, asthma, headache, vomiting and fainting; natural wood with a traditional natural polish should be used instead.

Furniture, tables and doors

Principle

Ceiling Colour: Keep It White, Never Red or Brown

The ceiling belongs to the space element, so it should stay white, or natural wood colour for wooden ceilings; red or brown on the ceiling sets fire to space and brings trouble.

Ceilings of all rooms

Principle

False Ceiling Shapes Matched to the Element of the Zone

A ceiling's shape brings its element into the room, so ceilings are shaped by zone: half-moon in water zones, a round dome at the Brahmasthan, a rectangle in South and West bedrooms, and never a triangle.

Ceilings, zone by zone

Principleवक्री, अस्त और अवस्था

Retrograde, Combust and Degree (Avastha) of Planets

A retrograde planet acts at full power, a combust planet is weakened by the Sun, and a planet's degree shows its age: 10 to 20 degrees is youth with full power, while 0 to 6 and 26 to 30 degrees give little or no result.

Principleभाग्येश

9th Lord (Bhagyesh) Colour for Luck

The colour of the 9th lord, the lord of fortune, can be used throughout life whenever luck is needed, even if that lord sits in the 6th, 8th or 12th house.

Principle

Whose Kundali Decides the House Interior

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.

Whole house and individual rooms

Mantras and Yantras1

Mantraबीज मंत्र

Beej Mantra Jaap to Strengthen or Pacify Any Planet

Chanting a planet's beej mantra is the one remedy that works in every state: it stops the bad results of a weak or debilitated planet and increases the good results of a strong one.

Questions asked in this session

Is the black colour of a mobile screen also bad?

No. Only excessive use of a colour has an effect. Screens are black by nature and come in no other colour, so this is not a concern.

Which colour is best for a grocery (kirana) shop?

Most grocery goods belong to Mars, so yellow and red work very well for a kirana shop.

Is a dark grey background necessary, for example when making videos?

No, it is not necessary; many videos are made without any dark colour. If Saturn or Rahu is strong in your kundali, dark colours may even suit you. A video is short, so do not worry much about it; think carefully about colours in the office and bedroom, where you spend long hours.

Can blue be used in the North-West?

Light green or a shining lustre white is better than blue in the North-West.

A shop shutter has to be painted with oil-based paint. What should be done?

Oil-based paint is not compulsory even for a shutter. If it has already been used, spray desi cow urine on it once.

Can Kota stone tiles be used?

Yes, Kota stone is among the best floors and produces very good energy. It is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that stays cool.

Does green flooring cause accidents for the residents?

No. At one time Kota stone was the floor in almost every home, and in hundreds of such homes no accident has been linked to it. The belief spreads when one case happens and someone blames the colour.

How is yellow Jaisalmer stone flooring?

Very good. It is a sandstone and represents the earth element.

How can a wooden false ceiling be made white?

It does not need to be white. Keep the natural colour of the wood; wood-coloured ceilings have been used for thousands of years. Painting it red, green or grey is wrong.

Can a rectangular shape be used in the North?

It is better avoided. In the North, choose a half-moon type shape as far as possible.

Can a false ceiling be painted blue, and will it cause problems?

Light sky blue that matches the colour of the sky can be used and causes no problem. If the blue is dark, paint small twinkling stars on it to nullify its effect.

Is metallic grey wallpaper suitable in the West?

Yes, metallic grey works well in the West.

Can the ceiling be painted brown?

Not at all. Brown on the ceiling starts representing fire in the space element.

When should the vastu of the whole house be checked, and when only that of a room?

Check the whole house when the whole house is being built, and the room when only its interior is being done. Just as a person is first seen as a whole and then limb by limb, first assess the whole house and then each portion, and try to make every part good.

Can a round ceiling be made in the North-West?

The North-West is the location of the Moon, but it is better not to make a double-moon (full round) shape there.

Is granite or marble good for windows?

Granite can be used for windows, but it must never be used for the main door.

The shape of the earth element was given as a square, so why is a rectangle advised in the South-West?

Both the square and the rectangle represent the earth element.

Which colour suits a mobile shop?

A mobile shop deals in electronics, so use light green or pista colour, which represents Mercury.

TVs come only in black nowadays. What should be done?

Let it be and install the TV; nothing can be done about it and it will make no difference.

What colour should a child's study table be?

Green or ivory is the best choice for a child's study table; a teak colour also works.

Which colour should be used on the outside of the house?

The exterior (elevation) colour is chosen from the kundali: either the colour of your own element or the colour that awakens your fortune. This is covered in detail with elevation.

If Mercury is debilitated in the chart, does wearing green make a person ill?

With a debilitated Mercury there is no reason to wear green at all; donate green clothes instead.

For trading, should Rahu be good or bad in the chart?

Rahu should be exalted: an exalted Rahu makes a trader very rich, and people with a strong Rahu earn huge amounts from shares. When an exalted Rahu and Ketu are linked with the house of gains, people have been seen earning crores from the share market.

The bedroom falls in the South-South-West, a negative zone of the house, but its own zoning looks right. Which should be followed?

Zones are first taken from the total area of the house. After that, the room's own vastu is used for the interior inside it, such as where to keep water, a meter or other items in that room.

Can a circular POP ceiling be made in the North?

Yes, a circular shape can be made in the North.

Should water be mixed with cow urine for the spray?

Yes, the cow urine can be mixed with water and then sprayed.

Can green stone be laid throughout the house?

Yes. When one colour is used on the floor everywhere there is no fault, because the current flowing over the floor keeps the same intensity. Each colour has a different wavelength, and mixing colours changes the speed of the current.

Can wooden flooring and wooden ceilings be used in any zone?

Yes, wood can be used in every zone and direction, just as wooden doors are used everywhere. Similarly, white or ivory can be used in all directions when the whole house is painted in that one colour.

Will painting the top floor red cause problems?

Painting it fully red will cause problems. But where Mars-related work is done, such as loading and unloading in warehouses, red is used so that the labourers work fast.

Businesses and homes mostly use mixed colours. Should the zones still be followed?

Mixed colours are normal; a business uses several colours in its logo, flex, sign board, letterhead and visiting cards. Which colours to take from the kundali for business, study, spirituality and luck, and how to balance one's direction and element, is taught in the astro-vastu part.

Flats are small and a half-moon sofa set does not fit in the North. Can a rectangular arrangement be used?

Yes. A rectangular arrangement can go anywhere, because the earth element is present everywhere.

In a family of four, one member has an exalted planet and another a debilitated one. Whose chart decides the paintings and colours?

The house is planned from the chart of the head of the household. A member who has a separate room, such as a son sleeping in his own room, can have that room done according to his own chart.

If the lord of a good house sits in the 8th house, is that a problem?

No. The lord of a good house sitting in the 6th, 8th or 12th must be given power, just as Ram freed Sita from Ravan. Use its colour, its metal and its beej mantra to strengthen it.

What if the 11th lord sits in the 11th house in its own sign?

That is very good: the lord is swagrahi and gives excellent results. Use its colour, grain, gem and metal as much as possible.

If the Sun is debilitated, what should be put up?

Put up nothing for the Sun. Donate its grain, wheat, on a Sunday to benefit.

If a kendra lord sits in the 8th or 12th house, can its colour be used?

Yes. Sitting in the 8th or 12th only ties its hands and feet; it needs power to free itself, so use its colour, its metal and its beej mantra.

If a planet is in an enemy sign, should its colour be used?

Check its full condition first; in an enemy sign it will not give its full result. Use instead the colour of the 9th lord or the 10th lord, whichever is auspicious for you; once the 9th lord is strong, comforts start coming on their own.

The husband paid for the house but the registry is in the wife's or mother's name. Whose chart is used?

The chart of the person whose money is invested is used, even if the registry is in someone else's name.

If there are no planets in a house, such as the 5th or 10th, how are its lord and colour used?

Every house has a sign number, and its lord sits somewhere in the chart. Find where that lord sits; the direction in which it sits is auspicious for you. Not every house has a planet, since there are only nine planets for twelve houses.

What should be done if an exalted planet is retrograde and sits in the 6th, 8th or 12th house?

Nothing special is needed; exalted and swagrahi planets give good results wherever they sit. If its degree is weak, strengthen it with its colour, metal, artefacts, minerals and rocks.

The 5th lord is Mars but the child studies in the West. Is that wrong?

See in which direction the 5th lord sits. If it sits in the West, that is excellent; if in the East, choose the East. The East and North are best for study anyway, and if the lord sits in the South, studying in the South also works.

My Saturn is debilitated and my school uniform is blue. What should I do?

The uniform cannot be changed. Chant the beej mantra of Saturn and do Saturn remedies such as donating its items; for example, donate five shirts to poor children, and the effect gets balanced.

If the 10th lord is debilitated in the 4th house, which colour can be used?

Apply the neech bhang chain: see the sign where it is debilitated, the lord of that sign, and the sign where that lord is exalted. For example, Saturn debilitated in sign 1 leads to Mars, which is exalted in sign 10, ruled by Saturn again, so donate Saturn's items instead.

If the planet of profit sits in the 11th house in its own sign, will a South-East entrance for the office be good?

Yes, it will suit, because the lord of the house of gains is swagrahi there.

With the Sun vargottam and Mercury and Jupiter exalted, which direction or work is best?

Also check which houses they rule. With an exalted Mercury, finance work suits; with an exalted Jupiter, knowledge work suits, such as vastu, astrology, tarot reading, college teaching and writing.

How are the degrees of planets read as child, young and old stages?

From 0 to 6 degrees a planet is a child, 6 to 10 a prince, 10 to 20 (up to 21-22) young with 100 percent power, 21 to 26 old, and 26 to 30 dead. A child planet gives the least result and a dead one gives none, whether it is exalted or debilitated.

Does a conjunction (yuti) work only when planets sit together, or also through aspect?

It also works through aspect. Sitting together and an aspect relationship both give the result, so Jupiter aspecting with its 5th, 7th or 9th aspect, or Saturn and Mars with their aspects, also forms the relationship.

If the husband's kundali is not available, can the whole interior be done from the wife's?

No. The husband's chart can be made from his thumb impression, from his palm, or as a prashna kundali, or the eldest son's chart can be used. Reading the palm also shows which direction suits him.

Are women given less importance when the house is read from the man's chart?

No, they are given full importance. The house is bought with the man's money, but its comforts are for the women. At griha pravesh the kalash chakra also checks the woman's rashi for the 4th, 8th and 12th positions, and women enter the house first.

Rahu sits in Taurus in the 11th house. What should be done for business profit?

Rahu is exalted there, so nothing needs to be done. Such a person gains more through shrewd tactics (sam, daam, dand, bhed) than through plain dealing. If the person stays sattvik, avoiding alcohol and non-veg and keeping tamasic food low, Rahu gives excellent results and can bring crores, provided its degree is good.

Mars is exalted but at 1 degree. What will it give?

It is in the infant stage, like a king's newborn son who has no power yet, so it gives only minimal results.

What should be done when Jupiter is exalted?

Give importance to the Ishaan (North-East), spend more time there and keep a silver mangal kalash. In the same way use the direction of every good planet with its colours, such as the South-East for a good Venus. If a planet is debilitated, use its direction as little as possible and avoid its colours.

The 10th lord Saturn sits in the 10th house in its own sign but is at 28 degrees and combust. What should be done?

It cannot give its good result because of its degree, so give it power. Power is best given by chanting its beej mantra; every planet has one, and the Jain and Hindu agams give different versions.

What result does an exalted Rahu at 10 degrees give?

A very good one. At 10 degrees it is young and fully powerful, so it can bring gains through speculation, the share market and administration, and even a sudden large windfall.

How should a chart be read if no planet is exalted or debilitated?

That is not a problem. See where the key lords sit: for example, a lagna lord in the 5th house shows that life progresses through children and knowledge. Check its degree and strengthen it. The lagna lord, 5th lord and 9th lord, if not debilitated, can be strengthened through their gems, metals, colours and grains for all-round growth.

What happens when a planet is retrograde?

A retrograde planet works at 100 percent power. If it is debilitated, it gives its bad result in full; if it is exalted or swagrahi, it gives its best result at full strength.

Why do railway porters always wear red?

Red represents Mars and the Surya swar and generates heat, fire and zeal in the body. With it porters lift around 80 kg without a slip disc, while an ordinary person may hurt the back lifting 10 kg, which is why the colour has never been changed at any station.

Why are hospital patients dressed in blue and green?

Both colours are antiseptic and healing. Blue cools the body and mind and helps eye, nose and ear problems, while green reduces swelling, detoxes and heals fast, which is also why eye patches after operations are green.
