The north-east, or Ishan corner, is one of the most important areas in any building, whether it’s a home or a corporate office. It’s the source of clarity, vision, and energy flow. That’s why, a cut or missing portion here can have a negative impact on decision-making, creativity, and even the overall harmony of the workplace. That said, there are Vastu remedies which can help.
Why the North-East Matters in an Office
In Vastu, the north-east is ruled by water and divinity, the elements that bring clarity, flow, and abundance. In corporate terms, this translates to:
- Clear thinking and strategic vision
- Smooth communication among teams
- Positive energy for decision-making
- Financial growth and opportunities
When this corner is missing or cut, energy tends to escape. Employees may feel mentally scattered, projects might face unnecessary delays, and decision-making can feel heavier than it should.
Common Types of North-East Cuts
In offices, a north-east cut may appear as:
- A missing portion in the floor plan due to parking, elevator shafts, or structural design
- A corner blocked by walls, storage rooms, or staircases
- A recessed balcony or irregular shape that reduces the corner’s effective space
Each type affects the energy differently, but all can be adjusted with Vastu remedies.
Balancing a North-East Cut
- Use Water Elements
Water symbolizes clarity and abundance in the north-east. Placing a small fountain, aquarium, or even a bowl of clean water in this zone can help restore the lost energy. Make sure the water faces the north or east direction. - Keep It Light and Open
North-east corners should always feel airy and open. Avoid clutter, storage, or heavy furniture here. - Crystals and Vastu Yantras
I often suggest using Vastu pyramids, crystals, or yantras in the north-east to attract energy and balance the missing corner. A simple pyramid or clear quartz can subtly stabilize vibrations in the office. - Greenery for Growth
A small potted plant near the north-east, ideally on the inside edge of the cut, can invite positivity and calm. Avoid thorny or spiky plants. Instead, choose smooth, rounded leaves that exude harmony.
Final Thoughts
A north-east cut in an office building may seem harmless but it can have a negative influence on the building and its dwellers. However, with mindful placement of water, light, plants, and symbolic Vastu corrections, you can easily restore balance and positive energy.
