WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.240 Now let's take the living spaces. Your house 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.019 architecturally and from the Aastro Vastu principles 00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:10.000 how different places or rooms of the house should 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.560 be placed. This is Aastro Vastu principles. Your 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.300 living room ideally on the entrance of your house 00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:19.899 should be facing the east where you make the 00:00:19.899 --> 00:00:24.000 entrance or northeast like lots of Hindus in 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.469 India. start craving where should the entrance 00:00:26.469 --> 00:00:29.410 be looking from the inside outward to the house 00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:33.929 it should be northeast not all we shall see this 00:00:33.929 --> 00:00:37.829 by lagna later on the kitchen fireplace should 00:00:37.829 --> 00:00:40.750 be in the 12th and 11th house portions of the 00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:43.570 chart because there's a lot of fire element there 00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:46.710 i talked about the elements of directions okay 00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.479 The kitchen and the fireplace should be towards 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.539 the south east part of your house. Typically, 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.899 ideally speaking at least. The master bedroom 00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:02.399 and storage portion should be towards the south 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.840 and south western directions. The west direction 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.260 should be a study room and children's room. The 00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:14.599 fifth and the sixth house should be a dining 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.569 room and guest rooms. in this area so that it 00:01:18.569 --> 00:01:21.569 is aligned with your chart. The wealth corner 00:01:21.569 --> 00:01:26.049 or the foyer should be in the north. Pooja and 00:01:26.049 --> 00:01:29.250 meditation living room should be in the northeast. 00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:32.469 Northeast is where lots of meditation happens, 00:01:32.709 --> 00:01:35.530 isn't it? If you have a meditation room, if you 00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:37.370 are spiritually inclined, you should have this 00:01:37.370 --> 00:01:39.430 here. And typically even living rooms would be 00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:42.530 good here because you spend a lot of intellectual 00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:45.620 time engagement in this area of the house. This 00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:48.040 is just the entrance to the living room. Then 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.359 you come to the living room, then you come to 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.579 the foyer, then you come to the dining guest 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:55.939 room, then the study room, master bedroom, if 00:01:55.939 --> 00:02:00.459 you go counterclockwise. That should be the typical 00:02:00.459 --> 00:02:03.000 alignment. Now what does it give? Let's briefly 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.760 run through some text over here. East is the 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.979 living room entrance from the equinox and soul 00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:13.520 stage point of view. I have made this. So it 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.310 is initiation. It is your self -identity. East 00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:19.750 is where your life enters home, just like breath 00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:23.610 enters the body. Why living room entrance belongs 00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:26.409 here? This is where people meet, energy arrives. 00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:29.250 It activates sun and lagna consciousness, sets 00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:31.909 the tone for the entire house. When organized 00:02:31.909 --> 00:02:35.569 correctly, it brings in clean, bright, welcoming 00:02:35.569 --> 00:02:38.550 furniture. So keep light furniture, clear pathways 00:02:38.550 --> 00:02:42.539 and minimal clutter here. What it does for you 00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:45.780 is you feel confident stepping into life. Healthy, 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.939 motivated approach. Social interactions feel 00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:53.840 harmonious. The north wealth corner and foyer. 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.419 Summer solstice, expansion, circulation. The 00:02:58.419 --> 00:03:01.319 north grows intelligence and flow at the peak 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.099 of solar expansion, Uttarayana, which will come 00:03:04.099 --> 00:03:08.400 on January 14. Why wealth corner is important? 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.020 North controls financial circulation. Mercury 00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:13.680 governs strategy, trade and income. This is where 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.099 opportunities must move freely. So we are talking 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:19.300 about living spaces now. So it must be clean, 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.340 uncluttered, well -lit, organized storage. Symbols 00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:26.379 of abundance must be kept subtle, not heavy. 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.039 Because you want clear thinking around money, 00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.419 folks. You need better financial decisions, less 00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:36.800 anxiety, you see. South, the master bedroom and 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.919 storage. Mid, the solstice. Okay, the other side, 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.360 the Capricorn side. Withdrawal, conservation. 00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:46.580 Why the master bedroom storage belongs here? 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.379 Because it supports deep rest. It holds heavy 00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:53.080 energy well. It grounds the Saturn, Mars responsibility. 00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:56.360 When organized correctly, heavy furniture, solid 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.580 walls, calm and muted colors, no excessive stimulation 00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:02.800 in the bedroom. Don't put red, please. Try and 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.460 avoid red and black colors at all costs in your 00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:07.819 living space. Doesn't matter which room, doesn't 00:04:07.819 --> 00:04:10.199 matter what was though, because it invites Rahu 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.400 and Jhadan. Try and avoid even deep blue, very 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.839 very subtle shades of blue. We shall see more 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.500 interior decoration as we go along. We are bringing 00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:23.279 it to the house, physical living space. That's 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.740 what these series are about. The South West Master 00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:31.480 bedroom. When organized, properly. It has maximum 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.699 weight, least movement, safe lockers, important 00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:38.079 documents here. You have to store things. What 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.680 does it carry? Stability, emotional security 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.579 and reduced sense of sudden loss. Scorpio, the 00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:48.819 house of Scorpio comes here. Southeast becomes 00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:51.540 your kitchen fireplace. Again, we are going back 00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:55.300 to 11th, 12th house. Southeast is pure Agni. 00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:58.439 Fire must be expressed, not suppressed. Venus 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.279 -Mars dynamics operates here. Digestion, metabolism 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:06.160 and finances, 11 ,000 queries. When organized 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.980 correctly, clean cooking area, functional fire 00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:11.439 resources, no water dominance. This is one thing 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.360 you have to take care of when you come to Astro 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:19.259 Vastu very carefully. You must try and not put 00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:21.620 contradictory elements. For example, in the kitchen 00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:25.910 fireplace area, which is shown here, Because 00:05:25.910 --> 00:05:29.110 since it's a sapphire element, you should not 00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:33.170 stick some water here. Contraindicated, isn't 00:05:33.170 --> 00:05:36.250 it? One is going to nullify the other. So you 00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:39.689 will take care of these elements. Let's see that 00:05:39.689 --> 00:05:42.110 as we go along. It will be easier to follow that 00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:46.170 way. West becomes the dining room, like you see 00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:51.009 here. Sorry, West becomes the study children's 00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:54.600 room. This guy is getting it wrong. done some 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.819 AI business on this. West is the kids room. When 00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:02.300 organized correctly, it becomes warm and structured, 00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:07.680 comfortably seating, no clutter or decay. Northwest, 00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:13.319 north and west becomes the dining and guest room. 00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:16.180 Okay, so why is dining room, you might say, opposite 00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:18.819 to kitchen and fireplace? When you cook here, 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.439 but you're serving it in the opposite room, you 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.980 see how this works. Your puja meditation room 00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:29.519 is in the north east. Master bedroom, where all 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.500 the love making happens, is sitting in the right 00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:36.300 opposite direction. You might say your sexual 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:39.120 life and your spiritual life are in opposite 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.000 ends of things. See, that itself might be a whole 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.100 podcast in and of itself. So, take care of the 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:52.240 children's study room, which is the center. Northeast 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.360 as it's shown in this chart. Sorry, northwest 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.660 and west side where you're putting children's 00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:03.680 room. It needs to be clean. Everything needs 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.980 to be tidied up. As a general principle, even 00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:08.759 in Feng Shui, I think you might know while you're 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.680 watching, listening. Feng Shui is also the flow 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.240 of movement through spaces. You might do a comparative 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.620 analysis between Feng Shui and Vastu, for example. 00:07:18.799 --> 00:07:22.199 Cleanliness is the bottom line for energy or 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.459 life energy to move through your living space. 00:07:24.660 --> 00:07:27.420 Minimal furniture, keep it good and light. No 00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:30.139 heavy storage, no clutter. Clutter invites Rahu, 00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:32.439 by the way. You have to keep these principles 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.639 in mind when you are doing the living spaces. 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.000 I shall wind this basic thing up. You can keep 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.819 these slides for further reference. Interior 00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:45.240 decoration aspects. Let's just quickly review 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.040 this. Now I have put the Vastu Purusha Mandalalika. 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.540 background over there. In the east is the Sanyantra. 00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:55.480 What can you put in your living space? East, 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.839 because it is your entrance in your living room, 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.819 you should put Sanyantra, rose quartz, ruby gems. 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.339 Keep colors of orange and red hues in this direction 00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:11.379 because it aligns with the elements. In the southeast, 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.959 you should put copper, brass, pyramid lamp, candles. 00:08:15.290 --> 00:08:17.569 People who like candle -centred candles put it 00:08:17.569 --> 00:08:20.529 in that area because it's a fire element. The 00:08:20.529 --> 00:08:23.930 elements are aligned. Elements and colors are 00:08:23.930 --> 00:08:27.269 aligned with the direction they come. Colors 00:08:27.269 --> 00:08:31.170 become red and gold. Aragota, sun, stone, sweet 00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:34.570 green crystals. This is labs and crystals for 00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:36.870 all better energy alignment with the elements 00:08:36.870 --> 00:08:40.950 of the directions. The south becomes heavy furniture, 00:08:41.230 --> 00:08:46.149 plants, brown and red colors. red jasper, ruby 00:08:46.149 --> 00:08:48.490 and copper accent, copper stands for the sun 00:08:48.490 --> 00:08:51.169 metal. I covered this in the basic Jyotish course, 00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:55.809 you can go through that. The southwest, we can 00:08:55.809 --> 00:08:58.950 put things like earth element which is horseshoe 00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:02.929 or talismans of all kinds, earthly talismans, 00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:07.350 black -brown decor, onyx or smoky quartz, indoor 00:09:07.350 --> 00:09:10.669 plants that can all come in this direction, the 00:09:10.669 --> 00:09:13.940 southwest direction. In the west, you can put 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:16.320 water bowls, fountains. You know, you get those 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.500 interior water fountains. You can even keep that 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:21.799 in the northeast for inviting positive energy. 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.059 But more elementally aligned is west direction 00:09:25.059 --> 00:09:30.419 for water. Fountains, orange, blue accents, turtles, 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.659 solid brass turtles are very good for Saturn. 00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:39.480 Canadian aquamarine crystals that come in the 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.200 west direction of your chart. In the northwest, 00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:45.899 this side, the fifth and sixth house, what are 00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:48.399 good to place? Wind chimes, because this is air 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.159 element, wind chimes, aerators, green and white 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.440 colors, couch and seashells, aromatic plants, 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.039 emerald and agate gems. This is a gemstone, candles, 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:04.879 kind of alignment, interior decoration, which 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.200 amplifies the energy of the particular element. 00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:11.259 in that area of the house and therefore with 00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:14.980 your chart as well. North direction should have 00:10:14.980 --> 00:10:18.480 wind chimes, blue and white colors because it's 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.340 a water and ether element, blue fountains, blue 00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:25.120 sapphire, aquamarine, clean and open space in 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:30.019 the northern direction of the house. In the northeastern 00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:32.620 direction of the house, keep it open, clutter 00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:35.080 free, quartz crystals, clear quartz, because 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.639 you need clear thinking space. There should be 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.840 thinking, white and gold colours, diamonds, if 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:46.100 you want to go that far, clear quartz gems, consecrated 00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:50.379 space for worship and meditation. This is northeastern 00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:55.639 direction. Next, we shall start taking in the 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.289 lagna. and I will do that in the voiceover because 00:10:58.289 --> 00:11:00.789 there's a lot of things to talk about. So I'll 00:11:00.789 --> 00:11:03.769 do it in the voiceover, listen to every lagna 00:11:03.769 --> 00:11:06.309 and what should be the placements, and then we 00:11:06.309 --> 00:11:08.309 shall deal with some case studies. Take care, 00:11:08.350 --> 00:11:08.750 be safe.
