Vastu Dosha and Karmic Influences

There are several types of defects (dosha) and several types of advantages (guna):

Guna – advantage.

Dosha – defect.

Maha Guna – a very significant advantage.

Maha Dosha – a very significant defect.

It is very important to distinguish between moderate advantages and defects, and those that are substantial. The more serious a defect is considered, the stronger its influence; and likewise, the more significant an advantage is considered, the stronger its influence will be. If a particular home has more major advantages, it is better to acquire it than to acquire a home with a greater number of major defects.

Maha Guna – example:

A good placement of the house on the land plot; an entrance to the house or to the plot located in an auspicious pada; a downward slope in a good direction; a beneficial northeast (Sattva); a beneficial southwest (Tamas); beneficial northwest and southeast (Rajas).

Maha Dosha – example:

Plots or buildings in shapes that do not bring auspiciousness; Viddhi Shula; Shalya Dosha; a number of windows greater in the sectors of outgoing energy than in the sectors of incoming energy; buildings that have gone through wars; buildings in which mentally ill people lived; buildings in which severely ill individuals lived and died; houses where cases of unnatural death occurred; houses in which people ended their lives by suicide.

For positive influences, there are several levels:

Uttama – the highest.

Madhyama – good.

Kanishtha – good, but not significantly.

The home in which a person lives reflects their karma, as does their natal chart according to Indian astrology. Therefore, in different homes there are defects and various advantages: some homes are in a good condition, while others are in a less favorable condition; some homes are well-maintained and others are neglected; some are large and luxurious, while others are small and poor. All people live at different levels of life from the perspective of spiritual development. Therefore, if a person understands a certain lesson, they are given the opportunity to move to another home, built in a way that influences them differently. For example, if a person has a defect in the northern part of the home, then when they complete the lesson connected with the northern side and Mercury (in accordance with what their horoscope indicates), there is a high chance that they will be able to move to a home that does not have a Vastu Dosha in the northern sector – or there may still be a defect, but it will be balanced by some advantage.

It does not matter in which direction the Vastu Dosha is located; it takes away 50 percent of the good that a person is meant to receive from that sector, according to their karma. Serious doshas harm even the quality of people’s sleep, especially if located in the northern sectors.

If a certain sector is harmonious, then even if, according to karma, a person does not deserve much good from that sector, this harmony may improve its influence. A person may receive something even though they have not yet reached the level at which it would normally be granted. This may occur because another family member deserves it. When living with other people in a home, one must take into account that their horoscopes also influence the building, whether positively or negatively.

Strong and harmonious sectors in a home indicate support in particular areas of life, according to the directions.

Vastu Dosha and Problems in the Horoscope

Indian astrology is an inseparable part of Vastu Shastra. It is impossible to diagnose a home and the condition of its residents without examining the astrological situation.

To understand why a certain place has a defect, one can simply examine the person’s horoscope and easily identify the cause of the dosha. One can understand what needs to be worked on, how to improve the situation, which qualities must be developed in this life, and which lessons must be learned. There is no horoscope without problems; therefore, today all homes have some doshas. The more a person improves and works on certain aspects in their horoscope, the easier it becomes to find solutions for correcting doshas in the home. Every correction of a planetary influence improves its effect both astrologically and from the perspective of Vastu.

The horoscope is divided into 12 houses. Each of the houses indicates characteristics connected with the directions inside and outside a person’s home:

First house – east.

Second and third houses – northeast.

Fourth house – north.

Fifth and sixth houses – northwest.

Seventh house – west.

Eighth and ninth houses – southwest.

Tenth house – south.
