Рина Задвиль – Vastu for personal growth and self-realization (страница 4)
Eleventh and twelfth houses – southeast.
East
A Vastu dosha in the eastern sector may reflect defects that exist in Dhana Sthana (the house of wealth), especially in the first house.
If the Ascendant receives a negative aspect, the Sun is in a bad position (for example, in the 12th house), or Saturn is in the first house, it is preferable for a person to have an eastern entrance in order to strengthen the Sun, and in general, it is advisable to strongly reinforce the east of the home.
If the ruler of the first house of the horoscope is located in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, this indicates that the home will not be aligned with the cardinal directions. In general, if the ruler of the first house is afflicted in any way, this points to defects in the direction associated with it, as well as in the eastern direction.
If the ruler of the sixth house is in the first house, there will be noise coming from the east.
If the ruler of the first house is situated in the first house (and in a good position), the home will have eastern windows.
Southeast
There may be a defect in the southeast if there are problems with Venus or with the 11th and 12th houses in the horoscope.
If the ruler of the 8th or 6th house is a malefic planet located in the 12th house, there may be defects in the sectors of incoming energy.
An exalted Venus and a strong Venus in the horoscope indicate various things that bring comfort to the southeast of the home.
South
If there is a defect in the southern part of the home, there is most likely a defect in the 10th house of the person’s horoscope (either the planet ruling the 10th house or problems with Mars). If the ruler of the 10th house is in a bad position or there is an unfavorable placement of planets in the 10th house, this may contribute to the following: the southern part will be partially cut off; the southern and southwestern parts will be significantly lower than their opposite sides; the entrance will be southern; there will be defects in the north; the southern part will have excess land; the plot or building will have the shape of Vyagha-Mukh (Gaumukhi or Shermukhi).
Southwest
A southwest defect is possible if there are problems with Rahu in the horoscope or if there are problems in the 8th and 9th houses.
If the ruler of the eighth house is in the fifth house, there may be defects in the southwest.
West
If the ruler of the 7th house is in the 6th or 12th houses, or if there is an unfavorable position of planets in the 7th house, this may indicate defects in the western part of the home: a western entrance, strong winds from the west, a water source or underground water in the west, a balcony or large open spaces in the western part, a downward slope of land to the west, a courtyard in the western part, and even a blocked eastern direction.
If Saturn is in the 7th house, there should not be defects in the western part, as the west is Saturn’s sector in the home. But if Saturn is in a bad position in the horoscope, this may contribute to defects in the western direction.
Northwest
A northwest defect is possible if there are problems with the Moon in the horoscope or if there are problems in the 5th and 6th houses.
If the ruler of the first house is in the fifth house, there will be doshas in the northwest of the home.
North
According to astrology, the 4th house represents what happens in our home. It is very important for this house of the horoscope to be harmonious in order to prevent the possibility of severe doshas in the home in general, and in the northern direction in particular. Problems in the 4th house may indicate that the home likely has a staircase rising to the north, a southern entrance, a blocked north, toilets facing north, or an east–west axis longer than the north–south axis.
One of the ways to improve the northern sector is for the 4th house to receive a good influence from the Moon. A poorly placed Moon, as well as association with Papagraha (malefic or enemies of the Moon – Mars, Saturn, and the Sun, or heavy aspects, or any negative conjunction of certain planets), contributes to the home not being aligned with the cardinal directions.
To avoid harming the 4th house, it is better not to live near religious buildings, as this may bring curses. In the ancient Vedic period, religious buildings were constructed in specific places in the city so that there would be sufficient distance between them and residential homes. One must ensure that the gates (or entrance door) of the home do not face a religious building, and that the distance between them is at least 25 meters.
Three nakshatras ruled by the Sun (Uttara Shadha, Uttara Phalguni, Krittika) are not favorable for the 4th house. If a person inherits a home under these influences, they will not find peace.
Planets in debilitation in the 4th house do not bring good even if they are benefic by nature. In general, if damaged planets are located in the 4th house, this indicates that the person must likely repay debts to the planets from a past incarnation.
A conjunction of Mars and Saturn in the 4th house contributes to the appearance of debts in the family, and a conjunction of Saturn and Rahu in the 4th house may indicate the presence of evil spirits in the home. In any case, such a conjunction may also indicate a dosha in one or both of the directions governed by each planet.
If Rahu and Saturn are in the 4th house, or if the Moon and Rahu are together in the 4th house, or if Ketu is in the 4th house, or if Ketu is conjunct the ruler of the 4th house in any house, or if Ketu is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, this may indicate a serious Vastu dosha in the home. Also, if Ketu or Rahu are conjunct a malefic planet in the 4th house, this may indicate that a person will live in a very old home, approximately 60 years old, and that it will have certain doshas.
It is said that if Gulika (the son of Saturn) is located in the 4th house, a person may become homeless, a wanderer, unable to be happy and unable to travel.
Northeast
A northeast defect is possible if there are problems with Jupiter and Ketu in the horoscope, or if there are problems in the 2nd and 3rd houses.
If the ruler of the first house is in the third house, cracks or other problems in the walls in the northeastern direction may be found.
If a benefic planet is located in the 2nd or 3rd house of the horoscope, the northeastern sector may have windows, large openings, open space, and sacred objects.
General Principles
If each direction (east, south, west, and north) has a good interaction with its corresponding planet, the home will be favorable from the perspective of Vastu Shastra (north – Mercury, south – Mars, east – Sun, west – Saturn).
If a planet is located with a malefic in a certain house, then in the direction associated with that house of the horoscope there may be a dosha in the home in which the person lives. In addition, if a planet is somehow afflicted, there will most likely be a Vastu dosha in the direction governed by that planet.
Various positions of planetary debilitation indicate doshas in the home. For example, a downward slope in negative directions.
Kāla Sarpā Yoga (a configuration in which all the planets in a person’s horoscope are located between Rahu and Ketu on one side) indicates many serious Vastu problems inside and around the home. For example, a road that ends abruptly.
Nakshatras in the Horoscope and Their Expression Through Vastu
Each nakshatra in the natal chart hints at something that should be located in the direction of the planet that rules it. For example, if a nakshatra is under the rulership of Venus, then some object associated with this planet should be placed in the southeast of the person’s home. The positivity of this object depends on the planet’s condition in the horoscope. If the planet is well-placed, something positive will appear; if the planet is weak, something negative will appear in that direction, in the home, or around the home.
When you live with several people in the home, you must take into account that the conditions on the property will express the influences associated with the person whose planetary configurations are the strongest in their horoscope.
Corrections and How to Approach Them
Corrections are based on five areas – planets, energies, elements, deities, and directions. They help determine when the right time for action will come, in which part of the home a correction is needed, how to carry it out, and so on. When all five areas become harmonious, a person succeeds in improving their qualities, in receiving good things, and in eliminating Vastu doshas.
One begins correction on the material level: with objects and various elements. After that, one proceeds to correcting doshas on the spiritual level, which supports a person’s development. Corrections are first applied to things that can be corrected. Things that cannot be corrected should not cause anxiety – it simply means that the time for their correction has not yet come. When working with certain aspects of the horoscope, the influence of doshas in the home may change, and a solution for correction may even be found.
