Important Watch the full explanation in the YouTube video above, where we explore a commonly ignored Vastu mistake — a small thing placed in the wrong direction of your home that could quietly be attracting bad luck, negative energy, and even financial loss. If you’ve been facing repeated struggles without understanding the root cause, this article and the video might just help you uncover something hidden in plain sight.
Misplaced Objects, Misplaced Energy
Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture and energy flow, teaches us that everything in our environment is alive with energy. When objects are placed thoughtfully and in alignment with natural directions, they bring prosperity, harmony, and growth. But when placed incorrectly — especially metal objects, water elements, mirrors, or even spiritual symbols — they can distort that flow.
For example, keeping a mirror directly facing your bed or main door can reflect positive energy out of your home instead of circulating it inside. Similarly, placing a dustbin or broken items in the North or North-East can severely block the flow of wealth and knowledge. It may sound simple, but the direction of even a plant, photo frame, or religious idol can have an energetic impact.
Have you ever seen a home filled with expensive décor, yet the people inside constantly face tension, losses, or health issues? This often happens due to energetic imbalances caused by Vastu doshas — negative influences arising from incorrect placements.
Spiritual Energy is Directional
According to Vastu and spiritual wisdom, each direction in your home holds specific energy:
North relates to money and growth.
East represents health and new beginnings.
South-West connects with stability and relationships.
North-East is the spiritual zone — a sacred space of clarity and mental peace.
Now, when the wrong item ends up in one of these zones, it disturbs its core energy. For example, placing a shoe rack or heavy furniture in the North-East corner blocks spiritual clarity and can lead to mental stress. Storing junk in the South-West weakens your support system — leading to relationship issues or feelings of insecurity.
Water elements such as fountains or aquariums, if placed in the South, may increase emotional turmoil. On the other hand, placing a fire element like a lamp or diya in the North could burn away incoming opportunities. That’s why Vastu is not superstition — it’s about aligning the objects in your living space to support your life path.
Fixing Vastu Dosh: Easy Remedies
The first step is awareness. Take a slow walkthrough of your home and observe what’s kept where. Look out for broken clocks, dry plants, unused electronics, and images that evoke sadness, war, or loneliness. These are subtle but powerful symbols of blocked energy.
Remove or relocate such items to more suitable zones. Keep the North and East open, clean, and well-lit — they’re the gateways to prosperity and good health. You can place a bowl of rock salt in corners that feel heavy or stagnant — it absorbs negative energy. Just remember to change it weekly.
If you’ve unknowingly placed a spiritual idol in a bathroom-adjacent wall, relocate it to a cleaner, quieter space like the puja room or the North-East corner. Lighting a diya (lamp) every evening in the South-East zone of your home can also help balance the fire element and reduce conflict energy.
By simply tuning into your space and making intentional changes, you’ll start noticing a shift — better moods, smoother flow of money, and more peace at home. Energy responds to care, and when your house vibrates with positivity, your life naturally follows.
