Why this works

Head to South aligns with Earth's magnetic pull and is said to bring deep sleep & longevity. Head to East is good for students/spiritual seekers.

Practical tips

  • ·Never sleep with head pointing North — believed to disturb blood circulation and cause restless sleep.
  • ·Master bedroom should ideally be in the South-West.
  • ·Avoid mirrors directly facing the bed.

How to Use

Pick an activity (sleeping, studying, cooking, etc.) from the list. The compass highlights best (green) and avoid (red) directions. Read the explanation and the practical tips below.

Use Cases

  • New home / move-in: Decide which room goes where based on Vastu — bedroom, kitchen, pooja room.

  • Office setup: Position your work desk for focus and prosperity (work from home).
  • Home renovation: Use Vastu to guide door, kitchen and toilet placement during renovation.

Accuracy Disclaimer

Vastu is a traditional design philosophy. Use it as a guide alongside practical considerations like sunlight, ventilation, room size and family needs. Consult a qualified Vastu practitioner for major construction decisions.
