If you’re reading this, you’re probably on the journey of buying a new home—or at least thinking about it. Whether it’s your very first home or a long-awaited upgrade, choosing the right space is one of the most personal and meaningful decisions you’ll ever make.
A house can be picture-perfect on paper, but if the energy isn’t right, it might never truly feel like home.
That’s why I put together this Vastu checklist, the things I look for every single time I walk through a new property—because they impact your health, happiness, and relationships.
So, let’s walk through it together, shall we?
1. The Direction the House Faces
One of the very first things I check is which direction the house faces.
- East-facing homes are filled with morning light, which brings freshness, clarity, and good health. I often recommend them for families, teachers, or those in creative or spiritual professions.
- North-facing homes are ideal for financial growth and prosperity.
- West-facing homes can be good too—but they need careful evaluation to ensure the energy isn’t too heavy.
- South-facing homes have a bit of a reputation, but they’re not always bad. They just need more Vastu balancing and care.
2. The Main Entrance
The main door is like the mouth of the house. It’s where energy flows in—and believe me, it makes a world of difference.
An ideal entrance is in the North, East, or Northeast zone. These directions allow positive energy to enter freely and support the flow of health, wealth, and peace.
3. The Kitchen and the Fire Element
In Vastu, the kitchen is deeply connected to health, energy levels, and relationships. The best placement for it is in the Southeast, where the fire element belongs naturally. If that’s not possible, the Northwest can work too.
4. The Master Bedroom
We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping, so the placement of the bedroom is a big deal. For couples, I strongly recommend the Southwest bedroom. It promotes stability, deeper emotional bonding, and a grounded atmosphere.
Final Words
If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed reading all this—please don’t worry. What matters is awareness. When you know what to look for, you can make wiser choices—or simple corrections that bring harmony back.
