Money mismanagement is one of the most excruciating problems one can have. Money makes the world go round, says VASTUSHASTRI KHUSHDEEP BANSAl, so let Vastu spin your wheel of fortune!
Money grants you the chance to do as you wish. Abundance and prosperity sweeten your life. Now, use the power of Vastu to make your house a money magnet.
The important thing you must remember is that your whole house must be healthy as prescribed by Vastu for wealth, health and happiness. A combination of the ‘Five Elements’(or Panchtattva) and the 16 MahaVastu zones and their presence in your house will determine how you think, react and act. Based upon this, your life pattern is established. Using simple MahaVastu tips, you can reconfigure those zones from which financial strength and stability ensue.
In the north Vastu zone, ensure that blue is the main colour and wavy shapes predominate. Shades of red will negate the goodness of this zone. Do not keep triangular shapes here as decoration. Do not locate the kitchen or bathroom here, or place the dustbin, broom, washing machine, mixer-grinder here. The kitchen represents fire and will dilute money, opportunities and career. Triangular shapes will benefit you here. The bathroom and sink represent waste disposal and will flush/drain away wealth and career. Keep a money plant in a green vase, or hang a scene showing a lush field or thick forest-these will attract money and better careers. Goddess of wealth, lakshmi, resides in the North, so keep her here, worship her with reverence and she will smile upon you!
If you are an investor, when you invest in shares, keep your desk in the west Vastu zone, and make decisions seated here. It will benefit you as this is the area of capital and gains. If you work in the east-southeast Vastu zone, you will remain confused and make the wrong choices. Avoid the south-southwest and west-northwest Vastu zones, too-these will cause financial damage.
The year 2013-14 is an excellent one for investing in property. If you are not getting a good chance in the same, simply hang a picture of a prosperous village scene in the west Vastu zone. You will soon be the proud owner of the desired property! Also remember to keep all important property and investment-related papers in the west Vastu zone.
The north-west Vastu zone is that which gets you support (financial) of banks and relevant persons in your ventures. Make sure that zone is Vastu-compliant. The north-northwest and south zones will both boost sales if you have a manufacturing set-up. In the former zone, keep working samples of your products and see how sales pick up. In the south, put up your company brand and fame will follow!
In which of the 32 zones does your main entrance lieIJ Be careful and ensure a good entrance. If it is an inauspicious one, troubles will hound you. For instance, the south-west door will bring in debts, loans and financial problems. A north Vastu entrance brings good career opportunities and money. The north-east Vastu entrance brings peace. The west entrance brings in wealth and prosperity. The south entrance is also a beneficial one.
Fire creates the spark that generates wealth. Water regulates the flow of wealth. Earth stores and multiplies wealth. So, keep the kitchen in the south-east or south-southeast and this will keep the spark burning strongly. The main colour should be pastel shades of red, orange and pink. Keep the safe, work table, drawing room in the northern areas for healthy money flow. The main colours should be blue, white and green.
In the west, the main colours are white and yellow. This is another location for the safe. Use round shapes as these represent the Earth element here. The west-southwest is the zone of savings. Keep this clean and use as a place for studies. You may also keep money and valuables in an iron safe in this area-this will ensure your wealth remains safe.
Many of the houses and flats nowadays come fully furnished. These are equipped with most of the common household items. If improperly placed or located, the room functions, walls and floor colours and materials, the furniture, decoration items, drainage, washing machine, microwave oven and other household objects, can cause considerable havoc. Other features, like shafts, air vents, water borings, water storage areas and such-like are also important. Overall, see if there is a harmonious and balanced energy cycle in your house.
The east is the area of associations and represents the social connectivity in your life. The main colours are green and blue. Plants and water do well here. A smiling Sun on this wall will boost your social life. With this, you will meet the right people and gain in many ways.
You could also have your house thoroughly checked using the 4-Step MahaVastu method. You can discover what the potential or existing areas of imbalance are. These areas can be treated with simple Vastu cures using colours, lights, symbols, rangoli and plants.
Ensure that the negative zones, the north-northwest, south-southeast and east-southeast are in balance. These areas should be used for ridding oneself of negativity-be it depression or rubbish. When these are healthy, delays will not occur; timely decisions are made and what is no longer of use is easily put away.
One means to a happy and carefree life is secured wealth. It is good to increase your wealth and holdings, and focus on other things in life. It frees you of basic worries. Vastu can tackle problems in the material plane simply and successfully. Use it and watch your life become easier. Set up a healthy cycle of financial growth and security and rest easy!
