The east is where we greet the sun in the morning as it rises, and east is considered a very powerful location in many cultures. In Vastu, an east-facing room is considered first of all the directions. East is believed to be a place of prosperity for happiness, wealth, good health and vitality as well as intellect and destiny in Vastu, and east-facing rooms are considered places where ancestors may bless the household, the head of the household, and the descendants or children who live in the house; perhaps as the sun rises from darkness each day. East is believed to be potentially the most powerful location in a house or building when it is designed or improved using Vastu principles.
Universal truth: east is a powerful compass direction because of the eastern sunrise.
The west is the direction where the sun retires every evening in almost all locations on our planet. In Vastu, a west-facing room is considered a place of prosperity for the success and fame of our deepest desires and the prospect of a bright future; as a new day will follow after each sunset. West is believed to be an important location to energize with Vastu for protecting the stability and calmness of the mind while enhancing pleasant dreams to encourage success in accomplishing tasks following a good night's sleep.
Universal truth: west is a powerful compass direction because of the western sunset.
The north direction is believed to be influenced by planet Mercury. In Vastu, a north-facing room is considered a place of prosperity for study, meditation and happiness of all kinds that result from acquiring knowledge through the intellect; it is also considered a place of happiness for the woman of the house. North is believed to be an important location to have an opening and a view to the outdoors and to energize with Vastu for the physical well-being of the occupants.
Universal truth: powerful studies are enhanced by a strong connection to the outdoors.
