Why Vastu for Apartments Needs an Update

Modern constraints

  • Fixed layouts, common shafts, and stacked services limit room swaps.
  • Cut corners, odd entrances, beams, and compact rooms are common.

Adaptive Vastu

  • Honor core principles (elemental balance, flow, direction).
  • Correct energy through placement, colors, light, sound, crystals, yantras not demolition.
  • Use the principle of compensation when an ideal isn’t possible.

  • Disperse stagnation: six-rod metal wind chime inside.
