The negative concerns associated with south facing houses are due to an oft-repeated myth
South facing property or properties are available at affordable prices – why? Because very few people prefer renting or buying a south facing plot, home or offices. This trend is just a myth and there is no truth. In fact, south facing property can bring a huge amount of success if certain vastu shastra rules are followed very carefully.
A true vastu analysis involves understanding the location of the main door, as all directions i.e. north, south, east and west are equally auspicious. We have seen not a few, but a large number of homes having south door were fortunate in creating a prosperous and peaceful life. Hence locating a door at an auspicious block of the south zone can be instrumental to claim as a successful house.
Some of the points below are the specific vastu rules to be followed in south facing premises:-
1. The success of any south property depends on where the main door is located. Even door at north, east or west can be negative if located at an inauspicious block of vastu grid. A good location of the main door nourishes the house. Divide south zone in the nine equal parts. The fourth block from the east is a most auspicious zone for the main door.
2. Provide true location for a kitchen in the house i..e southeast corner, a fire zone. A warm agneya corner is a sign of financial success.
3. Water bodies (underground tank, fish tank, water bowl ), prayer zone, study and library, more windows and open space in the north-east zone assures a peaceful and healthy environment inside the house.
4. Bedrooms for kids, toilet and bath in the north-west should ideally be placed in the north-west zone for harmony in the house
5. South-west zone is a strong location for the owner of the house. Master bed room in this direction gives him more strength and command over the family as well as in the business decisions.
Precautions for south facing properties:-
1. The toilet in the north-east or south-west zone is a serious vaastu defect affecting health and peace in the family.
2. Kitchen in the south-west could impact on female health badly
3. Master bedroom at north-east could bring more struggle for the owner of the house
4. A toilet, kitchen or pillar in the center of the house should be avoided at any cost.
5. Missing windows at north & east could reduce the vastu strength of such premises
6. Underground water tank at southeast or southwest could prove harmful for the entire family
Aligning a south facing house internally with vastu element & it could prove equally good like those properties facing other three directions.
