Everybody welcome to the part three of the AstroVastu
Principle Study. Now we speak of directions as
you can see. So there is the Kendras, the East,
West, North and South. Okay? East being Aries,
I'll talk in terms of Kalpushal Graha. So keep
up with me here. East is Aries, North is Cancer,
West is Libra and the South is Capricorn. These
are the Kendras or the foundational pillars of
your chart. Speaking from the Jyotish perspective,
if planets and points are placed in this quadrant
within north, south, east, west in your chart,
it plays a dominant role in all areas of your
life. All the trikonas are different. Trikonas
are the ones which are outside of this quadrant.
Okay, let's speak of directions. Now we have
told of the main four directions. Let us speak
of north -east, south -west, Southwest over here,
even this is southwest, I've missed that part.
Okay, and then there's a northwest and a southeast.
Now why I have labeled these both as northeast?
Although from the compass point of view over
here it's northeast -east, north -northeast and
all that stuff. But from a Jyotish perspective
it is taken as northeast. In a similar way, Northwest
also directions these both houses fifth and sixth
are taken as northwest direction of your house
look when we talk space we have to speak directions
your house is a directional orientation in space
the bedroom is in one particular direction of
your house when spoken off from the center of
the house okay So is your bathrooms and toilets.
So is your kitchen. So is your master bedroom
and guest bedroom and so on. So is the living
room. So is your balcony or the porch. So all
are directionally placed. We are trying to map
your chart to the directional orientation of
the house itself. So we are essentially trying
to do what in Astro Vastok. We are trying to
match how you are living Is your chart aligned
with your home, with your living space? Or you
can extend this principle also to offices. I
shall see that much later on. We are covering
just the basic principles here. So as to Vastuva
in directions, how your natal chart occupies
physical space. This diagram is not just showing
directions, it is showing how your karma distributes
itself in space, in your house. Every direction
is a field of consciousness where specific planets
want to operate or are best to operate. If the
space supports them, life flows. We're talking
about living spaces. If the space contradicts
them, life resists. This is why I say be very
careful when you're doing this kind of analysis.
That's why I've broken down into many parts.
You can revisit them whenever you want, just
to recap principles. East is that axis of initiation.
Once again, think Kaal, Purusha, Lakhna. Think
Aries. Sun as Lakhna, as identity, as life force.
Sun rises in the East. East is where you begin.
In your natal chart, whatever planet dominates
your identity is sitting. In your Ascendant,
in your first house. Ascendant is there in the
first house. When East is aligned, confidence
feels natural. Health improves without effort.
Leadership emerges organically, you wake up ready
for life. When east is disturbed, low vitality
despite good habits, fear of starting things,
constant self -doubt, let's say saturn in the
first house, constant self -doubt, delays at
starting point of everything. The truth here
being, if sun or lagna struggles, your east is
blocked in your house and you are living in a
permanent karmic dawn without sunrise. So you
are stuck there. The objective is not to have
a misaligned chart with you, whatever you are
living in. Your apartment, your house, okay?
We are trying to align it. The whole effort of
Astro Vastu is to align you properly to your
own chart. Take precautionary measures wherever
malefics are sitting in your chart, for example.
The South is the axis of Karma. Mars being effort,
discipline, survival, energy. South in this case
being Capricorn. South is where the action burns.
It's where your public visibility is there. This
is the direction where Karma becomes physical
effort. Capricorn is the house, ultimate house
of effort. When South is aligned, hard work gives
results. Assertiveness without aggression. People
tend to get aggressive if their needs are not
being met. What is your alignment? Everybody
has an alignment. Everybody has a chart. Everybody
has all 9 planets, all 27 nakshatras. The question
only then remains is a question of alignment.
When South is aligned, physical stamina increases.
Career momentum builds steadily. When South is
distorted, anger or burnout issues, laziness
or fear of responsibility occurs. Mars problems
are rarely anger issues. They are more about
drive and logic. Mars is a highly logical planet.
We have spoken of this many times before. They
are misdirected action issues usually reinforced
by a chaotic South in your house. The West, the
axis of time and results. The West is Libra.
Saturn is exalted. Delays, maturity, consequences.
West is where time speaks back to you. It is
the sunset, but I'll deal with the times of the
day in the next one. This is where your past
actions mature into results. When West is aligned,
patience develops naturally. Income stabilizes,
long -term plans mature. Remember Saturn, exalted,
means everything long -term, steady, patient.
Get your ducks in a row first. Stop fighting
time. When the West is blocked, endless waiting,
stagnant projects, depression without cause,
feeling stuck in life. These are the resultant.
From astro -vast to persuasive, broken clocks.
Clock is the karaka of time. It indicates time.
Watches and clocks. Be very careful about these
placements because that portion will get delayed.
Storing junk of all kinds. All types. Rahu. Unused
items in the West literally confuse your Saturn
in your chart. Time loses rhythm. Now we speak
of North. Cancer. Axis of intelligent and wealth
flow. Home is where your wealth should flow,
isn't it? Ultimately. You bring all the wealth
and it just poof, vanishes. What's the point
of that? Mercury. Mind, strategy and resources.
North governs how you think and earn. It's also
moon, by the way. This is where ideas convert
into material flow. When North is aligned, you
have a clear thinking pattern in your house.
When you are in your house, you make good financial
decisions. You have a calm nervous system, moon.
Learning feels effortless. When North is polluted,
anxiety and over thinking, financial blocks,
mental restlessness, knowledge without application,
the truth here being, a strong mercury cannot
compensate for a cluttered North. moon, more
so moon. The mind needs space to move. So if
you put more junk, Saturnian things like clocks,
or if you put shoes in your northern direction,
you have a block north, northeast, the axis of
meaning and guidance, Jupiter. And this will
tie more when I put the vastu purusha mandala
up. Later slides. Northeast is why you do what
you do. This is the most sensitive direction
in Astro Vastu. Northeast, when it's pure, life
is guided, decisions feel aligned, faith without
blind belief, calm intuition, all the Jupiterian
aspects play in. When the Northeast is disturbed,
confusion despite knowledge. You have a disconnect
spiritually. Speak of disconnect spiritually.
Most of the civilization is disconnected. Fortunately,
the vibrations of the earth are rising now and
more and more consciousness will develop around
this. Anxiety without reason. Loss of direction
in life. You cannot think your way out of a blocked
North East. Very important. Thinking has a very
limited scope when it comes to Jyotish. Mercury
has a very limited scope. It's an absorbent planet.
It's a mimicry. More wisdom and all wisdom, in
fact, comes from Jupiter and Saturn. This zone
responds only to clarity and lightness. Directions
of the house. Southeast now. The axis of desire
and transformation, the 11th house, Southeast.
Sorry, Southeast will become what? Let me just
check again. Southeast, yes, exactly. Pisces
and Aquarius, you might say. Okay. So what does
that mean? When Southeast is balanced, healthy
pleasures, financial flow, harmonious relationships,
creative expression, now Southeast is both Aquarius
and Pisces. Now typically an Arjyotish will tell
you 12th house is house of loss, 11th house loss
of gain. That is the house of gain. Okay. But
astrologically, even speaking, this is where
people confuse it a lot. Aquarius feeds into
Pisces, isn't it? You can only give what you
have. How can a beggar give anything what he
doesn't have anything? So Aquarius and Pisces
are linked with one another. When Southeast is
disturbed, we have excessive indulgence, too
much of excessive materialistic pleasures, Aquarius,
guilt around pleasure, relationship instability,
financial leakages. Astro Vastu, truth here being
Venus problems are not moral problems, they are
fire mismanagement problems. Southwest, what
is the axis of Southwest if we speak of it? Well,
Southwest is Dharma, isn't it? The ninth house
and the eighth house transformation and Dharma
here. Now we speak of that. It is governed by
Rahu, inertia, control, deep karma, Scorpio.
Ketu even. South West holds what you cling to.
This is the heaviest karmic zone. People speak
of Scorpio, but you have to speak of Scorpio
and Sagittarius, the 8th and the 9th house in
the same tone when you talk of Astro Vastu. When
South West is anchored, you have stability in
life. 8th house is unstability, sudden transformations.
You must take care of this part of your house.
Career grounding. Emotional security happens.
Protection from chaos. Any transformation is
very, very chaotic. It is not structured. Everything
happens in a random base. Scorpio is governed
by Ketu. Random changes in life. When south -west
is weak, you have sudden losses. There you go.
Instability. Anxiety about future. Control issues.
Rahu thrives on chaos, a weak south -west gives
Rahu unlimited freedom to throw all kinds of
spanner in your works, so to speak. The north
-west, what is the north -west direction? It's
the fifth and the sixth house, as you can see
over here. So let's see what's the north -west.
The moon. change, people, transitions. Northwest
governs flow and adaptability. When northwest
is healthy, you have smooth transitions, emotional
balance, healthy social life, good sleep cycles.
When northwest is disturbed, you have restlessness,
relationship instability, mood swings, insomnia.
Look, when you talk of creativity, it has gained
from the peace of the mind. Fourth goes into
the fifth. If that is disturbed, You have loss
of creativity. You have loss of sleep. Moon stands
for sleep. Moon absorbs the space. If this space
is unstable, emotions will be too. The center,
the Brahmastana, the Ketu, the silence, the integration.
The center, if it's blocked, none of the directions
will work properly. Life feels scattered and
spiritual exhaustion appears. This is the thing
for the directional alignment. Now once again,
you have to see the axis. Let's see the planets
briefly. If I have Rahu Ketu here in this axis,
let me expand this guy and twist him. Let's say
it is sitting in northeast and going towards
southwest. This axis. This axis over here. Then
you have to take care really not to store junk
in the Northeast. You don't want Rahu creating
all kinds of mess in Northeast, your head will
feel blocked. Okay? Let's take another example.
Let's say if it is sitting in Southeast, Southwest
directions. Let's say this. Southeast, Northwest,
because it's 180 degrees apart. Now you have
to take care of Mr. Rahu being placed in 11th
house. That means it is A lot to do with tons
of greed. Don't put junk here. Rahu tends to
accumulate junk wherever he goes. It's a junkyard.
You will find, typically if you have Rahu in
the South East, you will put a lot of junk in
that direction, in the house. It's ironical that
people tend to live their charts. Anyway, we
are talking of corrective factors. Same thing
with planets now. If planets or points are placed
in any one of these directions, more dominated,
conjunct or expected by, you need to take care
of those particular planets. And then you will
have a sort of alignment which is more harmonious.
I shall see you in the next. Take care.
