Vastu Shastra Consultation: What Is Checked

By Dr. R.P. Sharma · Vedic astrologer since 1979 · Ph.D. and Acharya in Jyotish · consulting online worldwide

Updated 3 October 2026

A vastu consultation reads a home or workplace room by room against the classical directions: the shape and slope of the plot, the main entrance, the four corners (north-east water, south-east fire, south-west earth, north-west air), the open centre, and the placement of kitchen, bedrooms, toilets and water. Online, it is done from a floor plan with north marked, photographs and, where useful, the birth charts of the family.

What is checked

  1. Plot: shape (square or rectangle is best), cuts and extensions, slope.
  2. Entrance: direction, position on the wall, obstructions outside.
  3. Corners: north-east open and clean; south-east for fire; south-west heavy and closed; north-west for movement.
  4. Centre: kept open, without heavy load, toilet or staircase.
  5. Water: sumps and borewells north-east; overhead tank south-west.
  6. Rooms: kitchen, master bedroom, children’s and study rooms, puja space, toilets.

What to send for an online check

How fixes are suggested

The first choice is a practical change — moving a bed, the stove, the safe or heavy storage, opening up the north-east. Demolition is suggested only for serious defects. Symbolic remedies (yantras, colours, plants) are secondary support, never a substitute for real changes.

Vastu and the birth chart

A house cannot override the birth chart, and the chart cannot fix a badly planned house. Reading both together shows which areas of life a defect is likely to touch for this particular family, and which fixes to do first. A consultation covers both.
