4 Conflicts between Vastu Shastra and Feng shui

Vastu and Feng Shui have evolved in two different setups. However, both aim to make premises or space suitable for all living with positive energies.

Here we have discussed the various conflicts existing between the two sciences namely Vastu and Feng Shui.

1. Conflicts on Kitchen

In Vastu, the zone of the kitchen should be facing south-east that is the fire zone. In Feng Shui, kitchen should also be in south-east zone that is the wood zone supporting fire. A green kitchen in the south-east zone is ideal for Vastu and Feng Shui. However, if south-east zone is not available for the kitchen, then north-west zone is allowed in Vastu. Yet, in Feng Shui, north-west zone is the patriarch zone governed by metal. The fire in kitchen burns away and melts energies of patriarch or metal and that is undesirable. This contradiction leads you to refrain from having a kitchen in the north-west zone.

2. North-East zone

North-east zone is considered to be the zone of the mind in both Vastu and Feng Shui. In Vastu, water is placed in this region. Meanwhile in Feng Shui, earth is placed and allowed to have earthy and fiery tones too. Fire destroys water sticking to earthly tones. Hence, using tones of red is acceptable in both Vastu and Feng Shui.

3. Colours

In Feng Shui, colour tones depending on the five elements governing each zone is important. Hence, it is recommended to follow the colour scheme as suggested in Feng Shui. Always ensure that the colours do not clash with those recommended in Vastu. Best method is to stick to using basic soft toned colours. You should use strong colours like black, blue, green and red wisely and appropriately.

4. Vastu Zones

In Vastu, the various different zones are demarcated clearly based on their functions. Ideally, the temple should be in the north-east zone. The living room should be in the east. The kitchen should be in the south or south-east. The head of the family should occupy the south zone. Most of the room allocations are made in this particular zone due to its strength.

In Feng Shui, theory of number calculation based on your date of birth is considered. Hence, there are certain directions that are suitable for your positive energy but, others are not. You require advice and help from experts of Feng Shui. In order to set up your home, you should follow directions mentioned in Vastu to allocate rooms.
