Q. I want a Vaastu consultant for my home. What exactly is the shastra about? How will it help? 

– Mangal Sharma, Noida 

A. Vaastu Shastra addresses every sphere of your general well- being starting from health, to relationships and, most importantly, finances. A well balanced cash flow and investments are important if one one wants a good lifestyle and for overall prosperity. Very often it has been noted that professionals in different lines of work may have problems regarding shortages, debts and expenses, in spite of a fairly good income. Any person experiencing obstacles in financial situations should confirm if their home is constructed according to the Vaastu rules to ensure an unhindered financial flow. Vaastu Shastra primarily focuses on the directions, i.e. east, west, north and south and their sub directions such as northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. Each of these directions is governed by any one of the five elements – fire, water, air, earth and space which form the basis of Vaastu Shastra . 

Q. How does one determine the directions that will enhance one’s luck related to finances? 

– R Kukreja, Noida 

A. Vaastu directions, conducive to financial prosperity are the north and northeast directions. The north direction is ruled by the Lord of Wealth, Kuber, and the northeast direction is governed by the element water, which is regarded as an indication of a person's financial status, according to Vaastu Shastra . Other directions should also be checked to avoid any negative influence related to finances. Since the north is the direction for Lord Kuber, a blockage in this direction, would imply obstacles in the flow of wealth and prosperity into a house. If the block cannot be removed, placing an aquarium or a small fountain towards the north of the house serves as a good remedy. In case of a single main entrance door, the east or north side location is the best. North or northeast is especially good for ensuring financial gains. A single main door from the south should be avoided. If two doors have to be fixed the combination should be north (M) and east (S), east (M) and south (S), east (M) and west (S), east (M) and north (S), south (M) and east (S); but should not be south (M) to west (S), west (M) to north (S), west (M) to south (S).( M = Main, S = Subsidiary). In case of three doors, it would be prefereable to put up the doors on three sides other than south or west. 

Q. I have a cupboard with a safe which I want to use for keeping cash, my wife’s jewellery, other valuables and some very important documents. What proper placement for the same would you recommend? 

– Ritesh Goyal, Delhi 

A. Cupboards with safes or individual safes and vaults in your house opening towards the south or west, are likely to result in expenses. This situation could be altered by placing safes, vaults, and other important assets like jewellery, cash, bank cheque books, property papers in a central north room of the house, and position the cupboard in the south- west corners of this room. When the cupboard opens towards the north, the amount of money flow enhances as these places are directions of wealth. 

Q. My business is flourishing and I usually manage to make quite a decent amount of money. For the last three or four months, however, I have had problems with authorities and associates at work. It is making me nervous. 

- Tatva Guha, Delhi 

A. Business professionals should properly utilise the southwest portion of their homes as this direction represents power. Hence, you would receive power in whatever you choose to do, provided that the southwest direction is fully utilised.
