How can Vedic Vastu and Astrology help me with parenting ?
Many parents are curious about their children’s future and often wish they could shape it. We sometimes treat a birth chart like a chessboard, trying to move children into the “right” boxes. But the truth is, much of a child’s personality is formed by age seven, and by twenty-four, they are fully developed. Sage Brihat Parashara states that after 24, a child’s chart becomes independent of the parents’ charts. Psychology agrees—children are most influenced by how they’re raised, not by what they’re told.
Before becoming parents, it’s important to prepare—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. According to scriptures, East and Northwest are ideal for newlyweds. During conception, one can chant guru mantras or Vedic syllables to invite elevated souls into the womb. Ensuring proper Vitamin D (Sun) and hormonal balance (Moon) is also essential.
Astrologically, the Sun represents the father and the Moon the mother. A child with a strong father bond tends to have a stronger Sun in their chart. Spending time in sunlight and staying hydrated are simple yet powerful steps. Children mirror what they see—so instead of giving lectures, become the example. Encourage outdoor play, reading, and nurturing their talents. These habits build emotional strength, balance, and self-worth. In the end, the best way to raise strong children is to become strong, conscious individuals ourselves.
How to do Vastu in an apartment ?
Start by placing a Manjusha at the entrance and Brahmasthan to energize your space. Don’t worry about changing the kitchen or toilet layout, pipes and shared structures remain unchanged in apartments. Instead, focus on enhancing the positives. As per Architect Mandan (Sri RajVallabh), if the good outweighs the bad, your Vastu is balanced.
How do I do Vastu of an existing home?
As per Lord Viśwakarma, the Divine Architect, performing Shailyodwār at the Brahmasthan (central zone) is the key Vastu remedy for existing homes. This alone can harmonize the space. (Ref: Viśwakarma Prakāśa, 2.93)
How do I know if I have Vastu dosha in my existing home ?
Signs of Vastu dosha include disturbed sleep, constant arguments (especially among women), strange animal behavior, pigeons nesting inside, and repeated health issues or untimely deaths in the family. These are mentioned in Viśwakarma Prakāśa, verses 1.21–1.23.
Where should I place my kitchen?
According to Manushyalaya Chandrika (Chapter 7), ideal placements include the zones of Vāyu, Īśa, Parjanya, Jayant, Mahendra, Sūrya, Satya, Agni, Pūṣa, or Savitra.
Where should I place my locker?
Lockers are best placed on the north wall, or in the west, southwest, or southeast directions.
Where should I place my toilet?
Toilets can be built in any zone except the Agni (southeast) pada. Avoid placing them on Marma points or the Brahmasthan (central core).

Where should I keep my refrigerator?
On the southern wall of the kitchen.
Where should I keep my dustbin?
On the western wall.
Where should I keep the overhead water tank?
Preferably on the Varuṇa pad (west), if your main entrance isn’t on the west. Alternatively, you can place it towards the north. (Ref: Jalāśaya chapter, Viśwakarma Prakāśa)
Where should the slope of the land be?
The land should ideally slope towards the northeast and east.
Where should I face while sitting?
Face north or east, this applies even when using restrooms, for optimal alignment with energy flow.

Where can I have my staircase?
You can build staircases in all directions except the Brahmasthan (central zone). (Ref: Manushyalaya Chandrika, Book 2)
How do I create wealth through Vastu?
Focus on activating the north, southeast, and west directions. Also, clear any Shailya dosha (structural imbalances).
How do I improve my health?
Keep the east direction clean and dosha-free. Ensure you’re getting 60% protein, 30% carbs, adequate water, regular exercise, and 20 minutes of daily sunlight.
Why do women in the home fight frequently?
Frequent conflicts may arise due to Vāstu dosha in the southwest or Rahu misalignment in the woman’s horoscope.
How can I improve my relationship with government departments?
Keep a clean, dry, east-facing window to allow proper sunlight, and maintain good ventilation in the south.
How do I make my factory run at full capacity?
Energize the North, Southeast, and West zones to activate manufacturing potential and flow.
How do I become rich?
True wealth comes from effort and elevated consciousness. Strengthen your Icchā (desire), Jñāna (knowledge), and Kriyā (action) shaktis, and invoke Goddess Lakṣmī through sādhanā. Place your altar on the Varuṇa pad, ensure the idol and temple’s āyādi equals five, and refer to Om Swami Ji’s Ancient Science of Mantras for guided practices.
How do I find calmness of mind?
Keep the Northwest zone clean and hydrated—it’s linked to the Moon, the planet of the mind. Bury pearls underground in this zone to enhance mental peace.
How do I sell a property?
Activate the Northwest direction, which supports movement and transitions. Place a Manjusha in the northwest corner of the plot to attract buyers.
Which direction is better in Vastu?
All directions belong to Lord Brahma and can bring prosperity if used wisely. The key lies in placing the entrance on the right pad. (Ref: VKP, Chapter on Dvāra)
What are the top three Vastu tips to check before buying a home?
When buying a home, ensure it receives ample natural sunlight, has proper ventilation throughout, and maintains a clear, obstruction-free Brahmasthan (central zone). Additionally, check that there is no restroom located in the Southeast or on the Agni pad, as this can disturb the fire element and overall Vāstu balance.
