Vastu Tips for Home and Health by Deepak Taneja

Introduction to Vastu Tips Series

Welcome to the Vastu Tips for Home and Health blog by astrologer Deepak Taneja. This series shares small but powerful Vastu remedies to correct defects in your home and improve various aspects of life, including health, prosperity, and harmony.

1. The Health Symbol: Swastik Mark Outside the Home Meaning and Importance

• The Swastik has four arms representing the four directions — West, North, South, and East.

• These also symbolize the four elements: fire, earth, water, and air.

• The four dots in the center represent the element space (Akash).

• Placing a Swastik mark outside the home balances these four elements and directions, reducing Vastu defects.

  
  

How to Use

• It can be drawn using red powder (Roli) or saffron color, green, or other bright colors outside the house.

• Adding Riddhi Siddhi symbols (prosperity and success icons) to the Swastik enhances its benefits.

  
  

Benefits

• Removes small and big Vastu defects automatically.

• Promotes good health and prosperity.

  

2. Toilet in the North-East (Ishaan) Direction: A Vastu Concern About Ishaan Corner

• The North-East direction (Ishaan corner) is sacred and associated with Lord Shiva.

• The first rays of the sun fall here, bringing energy, health, power, and well-being.

• It is recommended to keep this corner open to receive sunlight.

Vastu Rule on Toilets in Ishaan Corner

• Avoid building a toilet in the North-East direction at all costs.

• If buying a plot or flat, check that there is no toilet in this corner.

Negative Effects of Having a Toilet in Ishaan Corner

• Lack of harmony among family members.

• Frequent illness and deteriorating health of the earning member.

• Conflicts and lack of peace of mind.

• Overall stagnation in family progress.

Remedies if Toilet Cannot Be Moved

• Stop using the toilet in this corner and close it off if possible.

• Place a small glass bowl filled with sea salt in the toilet area to absorb negative energy.

• Alternatively, place an 'Ek' (sacred item) in all four directions of the house.

Note: These remedies can only partially reduce negativity but do not completely solve the problem.

3. Sleeping Direction: Head Towards South or East Scientific Explanation

• Earth’s magnetic field flows from North Pole to South Pole with positive and negative energies affecting health.

• Sleeping with head towards South allows positive energy flow from feet to head, beneficial for health and lifespan.

• Sleeping with head towards North can cause health problems due to magnetic wave flow from head to feet.

Benefits of Sleeping with Head Towards East

• Due to Earth’s rotation, an electrical current flows from positive to negative side (East to West).

• Sleeping with head towards East energizes the body positively, improving health, respect, status, and work abilities.

4. Power Symbol: Picture of Seven Running Horses

Why Horses?

• Horses symbolize power, success, speed, courage, determination, respect, and teamwork.

• They represent tireless work and strength; horses even sleep standing most of the time and are associated with horsepower in machines.

Significance of Seven Horses

• Seven corresponds to many spiritual and natural elements: seven notes, seven colors, seven seas, seven sages, etc.

• Number seven is linked with Ketu (an astrological planet) which symbolizes energy that organizes and disintegrates universe particles.

Benefits of Displaying Seven Running Horses Picture at Home/Office

• Brings an energy capsule into your environment.

• Enhances happiness, wealth, recognition, ability, child attainment, and marital bliss.

• Increases stability, courage, leadership qualities, respect, and honor.

Placement Tips

• Best placed on the south wall for stability and progress.

• Second-best placement is on the east wall with seven white horses running with the rising sun for energy and fame.

Important Notes

• Horses should be depicted as happy and running — avoid pictures of sitting or angry horses as they do not provide positive energy.
