Vastu Direction For Flats: Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science that guides the direction and energy flow of a house, flat, or any building. Nowadays, most people live in apartments or flats rather than independent houses, making it essential to understand the Vastu direction of a flat and whether it is auspicious for the residents. According to Vastu Shastra, the primary direction of a house is determined by the direction of its main entrance. This is essential because the direction and energy flow have a direct impact on the health, mental peace, wealth, and prosperity of the home. What You Need To Check Your Flat’s Direction You don’t need any complicated equipment to check your flat’s correct direction. You can simply use a compass or smartphone app. First, stand at the main door of your flat. Facing the outside, not the inside of the door. Hold your mobile phone or compass in front of you and see which direction the needle is pointing. The direction of the compass will be the Vastu direction of your flat. Results According to the Four Main Directions of a Flat East Facing Flat Being in the direction of the Sun, it is considered the most auspicious. Positive energy, health, and knowledge increase in the home. Having a door facing east allows morning sunlight to enter, purifying the environment. Flats built in this direction are auspicious for education, fame, and reputation. North Facing Flat This direction is considered the direction of wealth and prosperity, as it is the direction of Lord Kubera. North-facing flats bring financial stability, job growth, and business growth. The home is always cool and bright in this direction. South Facing Flat The south direction is associated with the fire element, so it is considered somewhat challenging. If proper Vaastu is followed for this direction (such as the correct door position, color, and element balance), it can also be auspicious. In a south-facing flat, the door should be in the southeast corner. West Facing Flat This direction represents stability and social success. A west-facing flat receives sunset light, which keeps the home warm. This direction is considered auspicious for working professionals. However, special attention should be paid to ventilation in a west-facing house. Some Precautions Regarding The Direction Of The Flat There should not be a wall or stairs directly in front of the main door. There should not be a toilet, shoes, or clutter in front of the door. Keep the entrance of the flat clean and well-lit. It is auspicious to place a Swastika, Om, or a picture of Lord Ganesha on the door. If there are Vastu defects, crystal balls or plants can be placed to balance them. (The author Chirag Daruwalla is the son of Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla).
