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.
In the cut or extended corner: NE white, SE red, SW yellow, NW white
Painting a school or study room in green (Mercury, intellect) and ivory (Jupiter, education) restores children's health and concentration.
School buildings, classrooms and children's study rooms
When a home suffers constant quarrels or illness, paint it pista (pistachio green) if the owner's Mercury is not debilitated, or white if the Moon is not afflicted, and add peace symbols and friendly element shapes.
Rooms where the unrest or illness is felt
For a person who gets angry often, the room is done up only with anger-controlling, mind-calming portraits, photos, idols, artifacts, symbols and colour combinations.
Bedroom or personal room of the angry person
Sprinkle a little water on the main door threshold every morning and make a rangoli to welcome the Sun. For a wrongly placed door, plaster the ground in front with cow dung daily and make the rangoli in the colour of that zone.
Main door threshold and the ground in front of it
Slightly warmed banyan leaves tied over a swollen part of the body remove the swelling; the healing comes from the natural green colour of the leaf.
On the swollen part of the body
A signature can pass or cancel a proposal, a cheque or a property deal, so the pen used for signing is chosen by the rashi of the name you sign with: the cap or body colour and the ink colour are matched to that rashi. Only three inks are used for the 12 rashis: red, blue and green.
When the lord whose colour you need is debilitated, trace the chain of sign lords to the planet that cancels the debility and use its colour instead, creating a neech bhang raj yoga yourself.
Ivory, a very light yellow, represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles are the most preferred and generate the most energy in a house.
Flooring of the house
The Moon (white) and Jupiter (golden yellow) together form the Gaj Kesari yoga; an interior with white walls and golden yellow carvings recreates this yoga in the home.
Whole house interior
A swan statue or painting in the NNW of the bedroom and rose or pink rose wallpaper on the South wall strengthen Venus and romance between the couple.
Bedroom: swan in the NNW; wallpaper on the South wall
The bedroom colour should combine the zone colour with the colour that awakens your fortune; without a horoscope, find that colour by browsing a full colour catalogue and noting the colours you instinctively like.
Bedroom walls
The birth chart shows which direction is strong for a person: the direction holding exalted planets, or else the most benefic planets, is the one to face, sleep and work in. Planet colours from the chart guide health, business and decoration choices.
The favourable direction: house facing, bedroom, work chamber
What one first sees and hears on stepping onto a land or into a flat indicates its energy: black items, broken things, snake holes and harsh sounds are bad signs, while a conch, aarti or auspicious songs, a rainbow or a joyful sky are good ones.
The colours shown for each zone on the shakti chakra are the colours of its devtas, not of the element, and are not meant for painting; the air element of the North-West has both green and blue as its colours.
A basement without sunlight should not be used for sleeping or staying, a kitchen, a toilet, a patient or a locker; its entry should come from the North or East and its walls should be white.
Basement
Oil-based paints contain lead, one of the major causes of cancer, and act as a slow poison on the lungs.
Walls and woodwork of living rooms and bedrooms
Colour changes the speed of work: in a warehouse, the same labourers loaded goods from a red godown in about half the time they needed in a light violet one.
Warehouses, godowns, factories and work areas
The fire element has a triangular shape, red and orange colours, South-East location and copper as its metal; sunlight, the gas stove, transformer, generator, kitchen and anything red or triangular represent it.
South-East
Every trade belongs to a planet; using that planet's colour, shape, artefacts, paintings, metals, mirrors and glass at the business multiplies its energy, while a clashing colour can shut it down.
Shops, offices, factories and petrol pumps
Sunlight falls first on the walls and the wall colour reflects energy onto the people, so colours of the element opposite to the owner's rashi or kundli can ruin an otherwise good vastu.
Walls, furniture and curtains of every zone
Before any interior, fix the goal of the space, study the owner's kundali, check the current (energy) flow and base every arrangement, colour and artifact on planet combinations. Harmful yogas of the kundali must never be recreated with artifacts, while good yogas should be built.
Whole interior of a home, shop or factory
Everyone is made of the five elements; a person likes the colour of their own element or of its friend element, and the exact shade they like matches the percentage of that element within them.
Wall colours and furnishings of the person's own rooms
Humans are made of four working elements, water, earth, fire and air; nobody belongs to the space element alone. Water and earth are friends, fire and air are friends, water and fire are enemies, earth and air are enemies, while water-air and earth-fire are sam-mitra (neutral friends).
All rooms, according to the element of the occupant
Choose the platform colour by the kitchen's zone and use ivory with orange for the floor and ivory with pista green for the walls and cabinets; the correct platform colour alone removes about 25 percent of a wrongly placed kitchen's dosh.
Kitchen platform, floor, walls and cabinets
Use wood for stairs in NNE, ENE and East; green Kota stone, pink marble, Lakha granite or vitrified glass tiles in ESE, SE and South; yellow or Dholpur stone in SSW and SW; and white stone or vitrified tiles in the West.
Staircase, by zone
A colour counts as an anti-element only when the entire room or zone is done in it; a small item of about 10 percent of the volume creates no dosh.
All zones and rooms
The office colour is taken from the lord of the 11th house (gains) or the 10th house (work), or from the planet of the business itself, choosing the one the horoscope supports.
Office walls and interiors
The drawing room is the place for exchanging ideas, so its furniture is set in a square or rectangle, the person putting forward his views faces North, the colours are light and windows give cross-ventilation.
Drawing room (swagat kaksh, the room for receiving guests)
Study room colours follow the zone, but education belongs to Jupiter, so ivory, golden yellow, green (Mercury) and white suit study, as does the colour of the 5th house lord when it is well placed.
Study room walls and study area
Ivory is a very light yellow. Off-white is often called ivory, but do not choose plain off-white; true ivory is a very light shade of yellow. It represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles generate so much energy in a house.
The colour on the chakra is the colour of the devta of that zone, not of the element; the North devtas are shown in red, for example, which is not a colour to paint there. The air element has both green and blue as its colours.
Colours are taught in interior vastu; do not get confused now and focus on what is being taught.
Yes, a bedroom at Shikhi can suit elderly people, and it should be painted white rather than the zone's red colour, as advised for people of kapha nature and for those of pitta nature whose heat rises quickly. Shikhi is highly sensitive and already hot, so red would add heat and open the third eye.
Where there is heat, coolness is given, and where there is cold, heat is given; heat added to heat burns things out and cold added to cold also ends them. It is like swar, where the cooling chandra swar should flow in the body while the Sun is up. E7 lies next to the fire (Agni) corner, so it was given blue.
Yes, it affects the whole house. Just as dirt in one room spreads its smell through the air to the other rooms, an imbalance in one zone spreads to the entire house.
Green represents Budh (Mercury), and finance and accounts belong to Mercury. Using the colour of the planet that rules the work strengthens it; even clothes and pen ink act as interior vastu, which is also why lawyers choose black.
To keep Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, alert: if the mind or concentration slips during an operation, everything goes wrong. Green also nullifies infrared rays and bad energies, so hospitals mostly use green, pista, white and blue.
Because the interior changes colours, furniture directions, tiles and artefacts without regard to the owner's element and planets. Often the colours belong to the element opposite to the owner's, artefacts are combined wrongly, or harmful adhesives, lights and lead-based paints are used. One client who spent 60 to 80 lakh on an interior saw his loans turn NPA and his wife leave; his whole house had been painted in the colours of his opposite element.
As a planet colour, blue belongs to Shani (Saturn); as an element, it represents the water element.
Eye contact is greatest with the platform, since rolling, chopping and all cooking work happen on it, so its colour works on the eyes and mind. In a wrongly placed kitchen the right platform colour alone can correct about 25% of the dosh: ivory for South, South-East, South-South-East and West-South-West kitchens; light red lakha granite for South-East and South-South-East, used sparingly because red stone comes only as granite, which develops pin holes; yellow for South-West and West; and green for South-East, South-South-East, South, North-East and North.
Yes, the platform can be painted, but the type of paint matters, which is explained in the topic of paints, pigments and colours. Never use oil-based paint.
