In Vastu Shastra, corners are more important than we generally know. They’re not just edges or the end points of your walls—they hold energy, they affect flow, and yes, if not aligned properly, they can lead to defects. So, what happens when corners are extended, then? Let’s delve into it and learn about how such corner extensions disrupt the Vastu of your residential space.
Why Corners Are So Crucial in Vastu
In Vastu, your home is divided into zones based on directions—north, south, east, west and their combinations like northeast or southwest. Corners are where two directions meet, so they naturally carry mixed energy. That’s why they’re sensitive zones. When you alter them—by extending them, say—you’re basically shifting that energy. And not always in a good way.
Okay, So What Happens If You Extend a Corner?
Let’s say you’ve extended the northeast corner. That might seem harmless or even like a cool design idea. But from a Vastu point of view, this is actually one of the more sensitive areas. It’s linked to clarity, mental peace, and even spiritual growth. Extending this corner too much can lead to confusion, indecisiveness, or even health issues for the people living there.
On the flip side, if you’ve got a southwest corner that’s extended, things get heavier. That direction is connected to stability and grounding. Stretching it out could disturb the balance in relationships or make it harder for the people in the home to feel secure or settled.
Is There a Way to Fix It Without Breaking the Walls?
Fortunately, yes. Vastu is not strict—it is full of remedies that don’t necessarily mean tearing your home down. Even something as simple as mirrors, colors, certain metals, or Vastu pyramids can balance out imbalances created by long corners. A good Vastu consultant will never request that you tear down everything. The idea is to work with what you have and restore it to energetic balance. It’s tuning the space like an instrument, not constructing it from scratch.
