The Cosmic Connection: Vastu × Astrology

Vastu optimizes spatial energy through directions and elements; Jyotish (Vedic astrology) interprets planetary influences. Marrying the two lets you correct a directional Vastu dosha while simultaneously strengthening its ruling planet producing faster, more stable results.

• Space: Diagnose the affected sector (e.g., NE toilet, SW cut, SE kitchen issues).
• Sky: Apply planet-specific remedies (mantra, dana/charity, fasts, color, metal, and where suitable gemstones).
• Synergy: Combine with simple Vastu cures (decluttering, lighting, elemental balance) for compounding effect.

Direction–Planet Map (Quick Reference)

Tip: Always pair planetary work with the physical Vastu fix (e.g., better ventilation/lighting, color balancing, and removal of heavy clutter from NE).
