To understand why a certain place has a defect, one can simply examine the person’s horoscope and easily identify the cause of the dosha. One can understand what needs to be worked on, how to improve the situation, which qualities must be developed in this life, and which lessons must be learned. There is no horoscope without problems; therefore, today all homes have some doshas. The more a person improves and works on certain aspects in their horoscope, the easier it becomes to find solutions for correcting doshas in the home. Every correction of a planetary influence improves its effect both astrologically and from the perspective of Vastu.
The horoscope is divided into 12 houses. Each of the houses indicates characteristics connected with the directions inside and outside a person’s home:
First house – east.
Second and third houses – northeast.
Fourth house – north.
Fifth and sixth houses – northwest.
Seventh house – west.
Eighth and ninth houses – southwest.
Tenth house – south.
Eleventh and twelfth houses – southeast.
East
A Vastu dosha in the eastern sector may reflect defects that exist in Dhana Sthana (the house of wealth), especially in the first house.
If the Ascendant receives a negative aspect, the Sun is in a bad position (for example, in the 12th house), or Saturn is in the first house, it is preferable for a person to have an eastern entrance in order to strengthen the Sun, and in general, it is advisable to strongly reinforce the east of the home.
If the ruler of the first house of the horoscope is located in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, this indicates that the home will not be aligned with the cardinal directions. In general, if the ruler of the first house is afflicted in any way, this points to defects in the direction associated with it, as well as in the eastern direction.
If the ruler of the sixth house is in the first house, there will be noise coming from the east.
If the ruler of the first house is situated in the first house (and in a good position), the home will have eastern windows.
Southeast
There may be a defect in the southeast if there are problems with Venus or with the 11th and 12th houses in the horoscope.
If the ruler of the 8th or 6th house is a malefic planet located in the 12th house, there may be defects in the sectors of incoming energy.
An exalted Venus and a strong Venus in the horoscope indicate various things that bring comfort to the southeast of the home.
South
If there is a defect in the southern part of the home, there is most likely a defect in the 10th house of the person’s horoscope (either the planet ruling the 10th house or problems with Mars). If the ruler of the 10th house is in a bad position or there is an unfavorable placement of planets in the 10th house, this may contribute to the following: the southern part will be partially cut off; the southern and southwestern parts will be significantly lower than their opposite sides; the entrance will be southern; there will be defects in the north; the southern part will have excess land; the plot or building will have the shape of Vyagha-Mukh (Gaumukhi or Shermukhi).
Southwest
A southwest defect is possible if there are problems with Rahu in the horoscope or if there are problems in the 8th and 9th houses.
If the ruler of the eighth house is in the fifth house, there may be defects in the southwest.
