Are houses facing south-west unlucky?
Q.I have been told that houses facing south-west direction are not very comfortable for the inhabitants. Is this correct and if yes, then what measures can be taken to rectify this Vaastu dosha? — nirmal kaur
A.You have been guided correctly as south-west facing homes have a negative effect. According to Vaastu the entrance is like the mouth of a house, which brings in main energy and here are certain rules about the dos and don’ts regarding the main doors:
- Avoid a property that has a door facing south-west as it is the entry of the devil energy and brings in struggles and misfortunes. The occupant may prosper during initial 3-4 years but then may face a down fall. If your house already has a door facing south-west, then fix two Hanuman tiles (with the gada in his left hand) outside the door andsee the difference. But it is always better to avoid such properties.
- The door facing south-east is said to be a door that brings in illness, anger and litigation. So stickers of Gayatri Mantra should be fixed on both the sides of the door on the outer side.
- A south-facing door brings in sharp energy that disturbs positive energy field of the house. Door here means a highly active social life. Sometimes it may bring in arguments or disagreements. Again fixing two above mentioned Hanuman tiles outside the door will help.
- West-facing door is not bad for the youngsters as it has an active energy and energy of enjoyment. That is why in Japan, Geisha houses are always facing west.
- North-west facing door is more preferred as it can bring in health, wealth and prosperity if supported by other Vaastu rules. Only thing is that the main male member of the house may remain out ofthe house for a longer time if the door faces west and a female if the door faces north.
Normally, doors facing east, north, north east are said to be good. But again there are many other factors like cuts, extensions, underground water tanks, of the house that decide the effect on the wealth and health of the occupants. So all these factors should be considered before taking a final decision about correcting this Vaastu dosha.
