Moving into a new home is a significant milestone, and aligning your space with Vastu Shastra can enhance peace, prosperity, and well-being for the entire family. Vastu is the ancient Indian science of architecture that emphasizes harmony between natural elements and human life. Before you settle in, here are ten essential Vastu tips to ensure your new beginning is filled with positive energy and balanced living.

1.Perform Griha Pravesh Puja (Housewarming Ritual)

Before entering your new home, conduct a Griha Pravesh Puja to cleanse the space and invite positive vibrations. Choose an auspicious date and time as per the Panchang and avoid entering during Rahu Kaal.

2.Check the Direction of the Main Entrance

 The main door is the entry point for energy. Ideally, it should face North, East, or North-East, as these directions are believed to welcome prosperity and good fortune.

3.Place the Kitchen in the South-East Zone

The kitchen should be in the South-East, the zone of fire. If not feasible, the North-West is a secondary option. Avoid placing the kitchen in the North or North-East direction.

4.Master Bedroom in the South-West

The South-West corner is ideal for the master bedroom, bringing stability and restful sleep to the head of the family.

5.Toilets Should Not Be in the North-East or Center

Toilets are best located in the South or North-West zones. Avoid building them in the North-East or central Brahmasthan to prevent energy imbalance.

6.Living Room in the North or East

A living room in the North, North-East, or East allows natural light and energy to flow freely, creating a warm and inviting space for guests and family.

7.Place the Puja Room in the North-East Corner

The North-East (Ishan) direction is considered the most sacred. It is ideal for the Puja room or meditation space to promote spiritual growth and positivity.

8.Use Vastu-Friendly Indoor Plants

Keep plants like Tulsi, Bamboo, and Money Plant in the East or North directions. These purify the air and are believed to attract good luck. Avoid keeping thorny or cactus plants indoors.

9.Display Positive Artwork

Opt for artwork that evokes peace, prosperity, and nature. Avoid images of violence, sadness, or aggression, especially in the living room or bedroom.

10.Use Mirrors with Caution

Mirrors should not face the bed or main door directly. The best placement is on North or East walls. Ensure they reflect light and positivity, not clutter or negative spaces.
