Now let's take the living spaces. Your house
architecturally and from the Aastro Vastu principles
how different places or rooms of the house should
be placed. This is Aastro Vastu principles. Your
living room ideally on the entrance of your house
should be facing the east where you make the
entrance or northeast like lots of Hindus in
India. start craving where should the entrance
be looking from the inside outward to the house
it should be northeast not all we shall see this
by lagna later on the kitchen fireplace should
be in the 12th and 11th house portions of the
chart because there's a lot of fire element there
i talked about the elements of directions okay
The kitchen and the fireplace should be towards
the south east part of your house. Typically,
ideally speaking at least. The master bedroom
and storage portion should be towards the south
and south western directions. The west direction
should be a study room and children's room. The
fifth and the sixth house should be a dining
room and guest rooms. in this area so that it
is aligned with your chart. The wealth corner
or the foyer should be in the north. Pooja and
meditation living room should be in the northeast.
Northeast is where lots of meditation happens,
isn't it? If you have a meditation room, if you
are spiritually inclined, you should have this
here. And typically even living rooms would be
good here because you spend a lot of intellectual
time engagement in this area of the house. This
is just the entrance to the living room. Then
you come to the living room, then you come to
the foyer, then you come to the dining guest
room, then the study room, master bedroom, if
you go counterclockwise. That should be the typical
alignment. Now what does it give? Let's briefly
run through some text over here. East is the
living room entrance from the equinox and soul
stage point of view. I have made this. So it
is initiation. It is your self -identity. East
is where your life enters home, just like breath
enters the body. Why living room entrance belongs
here? This is where people meet, energy arrives.
It activates sun and lagna consciousness, sets
the tone for the entire house. When organized
correctly, it brings in clean, bright, welcoming
furniture. So keep light furniture, clear pathways
and minimal clutter here. What it does for you
is you feel confident stepping into life. Healthy,
motivated approach. Social interactions feel
harmonious. The north wealth corner and foyer.
Summer solstice, expansion, circulation. The
north grows intelligence and flow at the peak
of solar expansion, Uttarayana, which will come
on January 14. Why wealth corner is important?
North controls financial circulation. Mercury
governs strategy, trade and income. This is where
opportunities must move freely. So we are talking
about living spaces now. So it must be clean,
uncluttered, well -lit, organized storage. Symbols
of abundance must be kept subtle, not heavy.
Because you want clear thinking around money,
folks. You need better financial decisions, less
anxiety, you see. South, the master bedroom and
storage. Mid, the solstice. Okay, the other side,
the Capricorn side. Withdrawal, conservation.
Why the master bedroom storage belongs here?
Because it supports deep rest. It holds heavy
energy well. It grounds the Saturn, Mars responsibility.
When organized correctly, heavy furniture, solid
walls, calm and muted colors, no excessive stimulation
in the bedroom. Don't put red, please. Try and
avoid red and black colors at all costs in your
living space. Doesn't matter which room, doesn't
matter what was though, because it invites Rahu
and Jhadan. Try and avoid even deep blue, very
very subtle shades of blue. We shall see more
interior decoration as we go along. We are bringing
it to the house, physical living space. That's
what these series are about. The South West Master
bedroom. When organized, properly. It has maximum
weight, least movement, safe lockers, important
documents here. You have to store things. What
does it carry? Stability, emotional security
and reduced sense of sudden loss. Scorpio, the
house of Scorpio comes here. Southeast becomes
your kitchen fireplace. Again, we are going back
to 11th, 12th house. Southeast is pure Agni.
Fire must be expressed, not suppressed. Venus
-Mars dynamics operates here. Digestion, metabolism
and finances, 11 ,000 queries. When organized
correctly, clean cooking area, functional fire
resources, no water dominance. This is one thing
you have to take care of when you come to Astro
Vastu very carefully. You must try and not put
contradictory elements. For example, in the kitchen
fireplace area, which is shown here, Because
since it's a sapphire element, you should not
stick some water here. Contraindicated, isn't
it? One is going to nullify the other. So you
will take care of these elements. Let's see that
as we go along. It will be easier to follow that
way. West becomes the dining room, like you see
here. Sorry, West becomes the study children's
room. This guy is getting it wrong. done some
AI business on this. West is the kids room. When
organized correctly, it becomes warm and structured,
comfortably seating, no clutter or decay. Northwest,
north and west becomes the dining and guest room.
Okay, so why is dining room, you might say, opposite
to kitchen and fireplace? When you cook here,
but you're serving it in the opposite room, you
see how this works. Your puja meditation room
is in the north east. Master bedroom, where all
the love making happens, is sitting in the right
opposite direction. You might say your sexual
life and your spiritual life are in opposite
ends of things. See, that itself might be a whole
podcast in and of itself. So, take care of the
children's study room, which is the center. Northeast
as it's shown in this chart. Sorry, northwest
and west side where you're putting children's
room. It needs to be clean. Everything needs
to be tidied up. As a general principle, even
in Feng Shui, I think you might know while you're
watching, listening. Feng Shui is also the flow
of movement through spaces. You might do a comparative
analysis between Feng Shui and Vastu, for example.
Cleanliness is the bottom line for energy or
life energy to move through your living space.
Minimal furniture, keep it good and light. No
heavy storage, no clutter. Clutter invites Rahu,
by the way. You have to keep these principles
in mind when you are doing the living spaces.
I shall wind this basic thing up. You can keep
these slides for further reference. Interior
decoration aspects. Let's just quickly review
this. Now I have put the Vastu Purusha Mandalalika.
background over there. In the east is the Sanyantra.
What can you put in your living space? East,
because it is your entrance in your living room,
you should put Sanyantra, rose quartz, ruby gems.
Keep colors of orange and red hues in this direction
because it aligns with the elements. In the southeast,
you should put copper, brass, pyramid lamp, candles.
People who like candle -centred candles put it
in that area because it's a fire element. The
elements are aligned. Elements and colors are
aligned with the direction they come. Colors
become red and gold. Aragota, sun, stone, sweet
green crystals. This is labs and crystals for
all better energy alignment with the elements
of the directions. The south becomes heavy furniture,
plants, brown and red colors. red jasper, ruby
and copper accent, copper stands for the sun
metal. I covered this in the basic Jyotish course,
you can go through that. The southwest, we can
put things like earth element which is horseshoe
or talismans of all kinds, earthly talismans,
black -brown decor, onyx or smoky quartz, indoor
plants that can all come in this direction, the
southwest direction. In the west, you can put
water bowls, fountains. You know, you get those
interior water fountains. You can even keep that
in the northeast for inviting positive energy.
But more elementally aligned is west direction
for water. Fountains, orange, blue accents, turtles,
solid brass turtles are very good for Saturn.
Canadian aquamarine crystals that come in the
west direction of your chart. In the northwest,
this side, the fifth and sixth house, what are
good to place? Wind chimes, because this is air
element, wind chimes, aerators, green and white
colors, couch and seashells, aromatic plants,
emerald and agate gems. This is a gemstone, candles,
kind of alignment, interior decoration, which
amplifies the energy of the particular element.
in that area of the house and therefore with
your chart as well. North direction should have
wind chimes, blue and white colors because it's
a water and ether element, blue fountains, blue
sapphire, aquamarine, clean and open space in
the northern direction of the house. In the northeastern
direction of the house, keep it open, clutter
free, quartz crystals, clear quartz, because
you need clear thinking space. There should be
thinking, white and gold colours, diamonds, if
you want to go that far, clear quartz gems, consecrated
space for worship and meditation. This is northeastern
direction. Next, we shall start taking in the
lagna. and I will do that in the voiceover because
there's a lot of things to talk about. So I'll
do it in the voiceover, listen to every lagna
and what should be the placements, and then we
shall deal with some case studies. Take care,
be safe.
