The 4th House and Your Building
The 4th house rules the home. Saturn on it matches old, damp or cracked buildings; Mars matches a misplaced kitchen or electrical faults; Rahu matches clutter, a toilet or cut in the south-west; Ketu matches drainage problems and unused corners. When your chart and your house share the same defect, correcting it brings the biggest change.

Astrological Vastu: frequently asked questions
Is Vastu linked with the birth chart?
Yes. Each direction is ruled by a planet, so a weak planet in your chart makes its zone more sensitive for you.
Which planet rules the north-east?
Jupiter rules the north-east, the most sacred zone, best kept clean, light and open for prayer.
Which direction is best for the main door?
North and east are generally auspicious; your chart may also favour the direction of your Lagna lord.
Can Vastu defects be corrected without demolition?
Many can, with de-cluttering, colours of the zone's planet, metal strips or pyramids, lamps and Vastu Shanti.
