The Five Elements at Home: A Practical Starting Point

Vastu is, at its heart, the art of balancing five elements across the eight directions of a space.

Water — north-east The zone of clarity and flow. Keep it light, open and clean. Water features belong here.

Fire — south-east The kitchen's natural home. A misplaced fire zone often shows up as friction in the household.

Earth — south-west Stability. This is where the heads of the family should rest.

Air — north-west Movement and relationships. Guest rooms and finished goods do well here.

Space — the centre The Brahmasthan must breathe. Heavy furniture or storage at the centre weighs on the entire home.
