Vedic astrology and Vastu go hand in hand, especially when planning and constructing a house. Both have originated from the system of Vedas in ancient India. The principles of these two disciplines combined can help you in deciding on how the house or space will be built and how it will influence the people residing there.

 

How is Vedic Astrology and Vastu Shastra Connected?

According to Vastu Shastra’s principles, there are eight prime directions, and each direction is assigned to a specific deity, specific element, and a specific function. So, you have to allocate spaces according to the deity who rules that particular region or direction. Similarly, Vedic astrology also associates each direction and region to a planet and establishes how these spaces should be utilised.

Vastu suggests choosing the most favorable direction for you and your family members; otherwise, it can negatively impact your life. Hence, it also becomes important to check the Vastu directions based on the person’s birth horoscope. Different factors in a person’s birth horoscope determine the direction, either creating a negative or positive impact in their lives. Choosing the right direction after getting your birth chart analysed by an expert will help you maintain a happy, comfortable, and prosperous life. Why not get your horoscope checked on an online Vedic astrology app such as Astroyogi, where you can talk to astrologer of your choice to get a detailed analysis.

 

Muhurat for purchasing a new Vastu is also determined by Vedic astrology. Planet/s placed in the 4th house of a Vedic chart affects Vastu.

All the nine planets are represented by a specific direction, corners, areas, structures, objects in a house. The planets’ mutual relationships or afflictions can have substantial impacts on the residents of the house. Let’s look at the major planets and the areas they rule in a house as per Vedic astrology and Vastu Shastra.

 

Sun – The Sun rules the east direction, and Vastu advises placing the main entrance here. The east direction should also have large windows to let the maximum sunshine inside the house. 

 

Moon – Moon rules the North-West (the corner of Vayu or air) region of the house. This direction is an ideal corner to place rooms for the unmarried girls in the family. This direction is also good for guest rooms and bathrooms.

 

Mars – It rules the southern direction. Making a storeroom in this direction is a good idea. This space can also be utilised to place heavy furniture and closets. 

 

Venus – Venus rules the South-East area (the direction of Fire or Agneya), which is advised for the kitchen area and placing electrical or heat-related equipment. 

 

Jupiter – Jupiter rules the North-East direction (the Ishaan corner as per Vedic astrology). It is an auspicious corner for worship rooms, spiritual activities.

 

Mercury – Mercury rules the north directions and the common areas of the house like the living room, verandah, terrace area, etc.

 

Saturn – Saturn rules the western direction. This direction is advised for storage rooms, pantry rooms, etc. 

 

Rahu – Rahu rules the southwest direction, which is considered good for a master bedroom. This direction can also be used for storing unwanted goods. Toilets can be placed here too.

 

Ketu – Ketu is assigned to the North-East direction, just like Jupiter. Ketu also rules the bathrooms, staircases, and rear doors. 

 

Vedic astrology and Vastu share some common aspects that complement and give meaning to each other. When you buy or construct a house following Vedic and Vastu astrology’s concepts, you will enhance the possibilities of living in a positive house full of health, wealth, happiness, peace, and prosperity.
