SW direction in vastu

Rules involving SW

• main-entry · avoid · severity: critical

  solar-angle, social, geomagnetic, water-element

  Vastu Shastra (Mayamata)

• master-bedroom · ideal · severity: high

  structural, sleep-science, earth-element, geomagnetic

  SW = Prithvi (earth) corner — stability for heads of household

• children-bedroom · avoid · severity: medium

  wind-element, solar-angle, sleep-science

  NW = Vayu (wind) — aids growth; SW energy heavier, unsuited for children

• guest-bedroom · avoid · severity: low

  wind-element, social

  NW supports transient movement — aligned with guest turnover

• living · avoid · severity: medium

  solar-angle, social, airflow

  Guests received in N/E — aligned with morning light + public flow

• living · ideal · severity: low

  structural, earth-element, ergonomic

  Heavy furniture in SW — structural grounding + keep NE light/open

• dining · avoid · severity: low

  solar-angle, ergonomic, social

  West dining — afternoon/evening sun supports digestion-time meals

• pooja · avoid · severity: medium

  solar-angle, acoustic, water-element, symbolic

  NE = Ishanya (divine) corner

• well · avoid · severity: medium

  solar-angle, hygiene, water-element

  NE = water element — aligns with solar purification + natural drainage

• water-tank · ideal · severity: medium

  structural, earth-element, safety

  Overhead tanks SW — structural load on strongest corner

• water-tank · avoid · severity: medium

  water-element, solar-angle, hygiene

  Underground tank NE — morning sun protects against stagnation

• stairs · ideal · severity: medium

  structural, safety, earth-element

  Heavy load-bearing stairs in SW; avoid NE (open/light) + CENTER (Brahmasthan)

• home-office · avoid · severity: low

  solar-angle, acoustic, ergonomic

  Morning productivity aligned with NE/N light

• storage · ideal · severity: low

  earth-element, structural

  Heavy storage SW — grounding + structural weight distribution

• balcony · avoid · severity: low

  solar-angle, airflow, water-element

  Morning sun + prevailing cool breeze from N/E

• garden · avoid · severity: low

  solar-angle, water-element, thermal

  Morning sun for plant growth; keep NE open/green — water-element alignment

• windows · avoid · severity: low

  solar-angle, airflow, thermal

  More openings NE — morning light + cross-ventilation; fewer SW for thermal insulation

• plot · avoid · severity: medium

  solar-angle, symbolic, water-element

  NE extension auspicious; SW cut considered defect — asymmetry in grounding corner
