ABSTRACT
Vastu Shastra - an inquisitive science of architecture encapsulates the forces which act upon a given space through flow of positive energy. Vastu refers to 'abode' or mansion and Shastra or Vidya means science or knowledge, so Vastu Vidya is the sacred holistic science pertaining to designing and building of houses. The principles of vastu have been derived from Sthapathya Veda- one of the ancient scared books in Hinduism.
According to Hindu teachings, life is meant for spiritual growth. This growth is, in part, facilitated by karma, the concept that every thought and action has a corresponding reaction.The Vedas say that a person’s karma is directly related to the position of the planets and stars, and thus astrology is the method of understanding one’s karma by analyzing these positions.Originally known as jyotish, or “the science of light,” Vedic astrology is considered by many to be the eye of the Vedas, because it is meant to provide guidance to individuals who feel lost or confused on their life’s journey.
The connection between Vastu and astrology is eternal. Both the branches are interconnected and help people on a one-on-one level. If someone constructs their house as per Vastu and incorporates concepts of astrology like Shubh Muhurat, the combination attracts positivity and abundance. People shall be able to wear off ill vibes and undesirable influences from their construction place.
Furthermore, Vastu says that the Northeast portion of the construction site is the solar half, while the Southwest is recognized as the lunar half. People must remember that the solar half must be kept lower than the lunar half of the place. It allows optimal division of the Sun rays, polar energy, and solar radiation along with joy, happiness, and pleasure if done at a proper time and place with the advice of an astrologer. This research aims in finding the connection of Vastu and astrology. Information regarding connection of the horoscope in astrology and its relation with Vastu is also provided and also along with suitable remedies is also given. Apart from that relation of astrology and the planets and nakshatras and its application in commercial vastu is also given along with practical examples where suitable suggestions and correction of defective Vastu plots are also provided.

Introduction
Vaastu is an ancient Indian science of architecture and buildings which helps in making a congenial setting or a place to live and work in a most scientific way taking advantage of the benefits bestowed by nature, its elements and energy fields for enhanced wealth, health, prosperity and happiness.
Vastu Shastra unifies the science, art, astronomy and astrology, it can also be said as an ancient mystic science for designing and building. Vastu Shastra helps us to make our lives better and will secure from things going wrong.It is the science of directions that combines all the five elements of nature and balance them with the man and the material. Vaastu Shastra is creating a congenial settings or a place to live or work, in most scientific way taking advantages of the benefits bestowed by the five elements called "Paanchbhootas" of the nature thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness in an enlightened environment.
The association between Vaastu Shastra and Astrology is everlasting. To put it in a simpler way, we can understand it by knowing that when the number ‘one’ is put before another number ‘one’ we call it eleven but when the number ‘one’ is deducted from number ‘ one’ we obtain a zero. What it means in our context is that both Vaastu shastra principles and astrology are useful. If a person has constructed a house in accordance with Vaastu and is passing through a favorable period astrologically, the effect of their combination is multiplied manifold. In case, either one is weak or unfavorable, negative influences take place.
Astro Vastu is the branch of occult science where Astro charts planets its makes correlations with directions. Each zodiac sign has a relationship with a particular direction. Among the nine planets, A specific direction is also ruled by each planet of Vedic astrology. Astro Vastu decoded such a connection between vastu and individual birth charts.All the structures and properties are directly correspondent to the electromagnetic forces of the Earth and radiation generated by other planets. Therefore Vastu and Astrology are interlinked and share an important relationship. Astrology is nothing but science and effects of stars, planets and other heavenly bodies on human. While Vastu is effect of those on human dwellings and hence there's no doubt that 9 planets, 27 constellations and 12 zodiac signs have influence on your place of work and living.
The connection between Vastu and astrology is eternal. Both the branches are interconnected and help people on a one-on-one level. If someone constructs their house as per Vastu and incorporates concepts of astrology like Shubh Muhurat, the combination attracts positivity and abundance. People shall be able to wear off ill vibes and undesirable influences from their construction place.Astro vastu clearly states that astrology and vastu shastra are simultaneously applied at the personal level. Since more than one person lives in the same vastu, it is impossible to apply remedies at the individual level by judging only the Vastu of that house. Then it is
necessary to evaluate the astrological chart at the personal level.One can quickly conclude from their astrological chart and overall arrangement of his vastu.
Story of Vastu Purush and its Significance
According to Hindu Mythology, there was a fierce war between Devtas (God) and Asuras (Demons). Lord Shiva stood for Devtas. During the war with Andhakasur, some drops of his sweat fell on the earth from Shiva's head. From this drop of sweat, a gigantic being took birth. This enormous being is known as Vastu Purusha. The vast giant claimed himself as Lord Shiva's son and got permission to eat 'Triloka' (because of his excessive hunger) from Lord Shiva. As soon as the giant started eating Trilok, the gods became frightened and resorted to Brahma to save the world.
So, with the help of Astha Dikapalakas (the guardian of 8 cardinal directions), Lord Brahma, to save Triloka, ordered other Devtas and Asuras to pin him down on the earth with his head towards the northeast and feet towards the southwest. Brahma occupied the central part of Vastu Purusha, and the other 44 deities (45 energy fields) who represent the various aspects of our life possessed the different parts of his body. Brahma then blesses the Vastu Purusha that whenever a structure is built on earth (as compensation), that structure will become your food if you do not worship at that time. So, there is a belief, if you perform this ritual whenever you build any structure on a vacant plot, you will be blessed by Devtas, but if you don't serve this ritual, you may fall into the rage of Asuras, better prepare to welcome in sorrow in life.
Vastu Shastra' is based on the theory that the earth is a human being throbbing full of energy and life. Vastu Purusha Mandala symbolizes this human being or cosmic man, and we explain the theories with the help of a diagram or chart called Vastu Purusha Mandala (chart). Every minute detail related to any single structure or construction on earth is based on the principles of Vastu Purusha Mandala architecture. It starts from digging a vacant plot to the completion of the buildingBrahma and the 44 deities ( Total 45 deities ) known as energy fields slowly occupy their determined places with the development of the structure. So, we can see that Vastu Purusha Mandala is the core of vastu design for temples, houses, offices, and factories for ages.
Forty-five celestial beings, out of whom 32 from without and 13 from within caught hold of the devotee. The Thirty-two celestial beings are-
All these 32 celestial beings are out of the limits of the devotee whereas the following 13 Beings are within his limits:(1) BRAHMA (2) RUDRA (3) INDRAJAYA (4) APAVATSA (5) MARICHI (6) SAVITRI (7) VIVASWAN (8) VISHNU (9) MITRA (10) SAVITA (11) PRITHVIDHARA (12) RUDRA and (13) APA.
These celestial Beings laid force on the different limbs of the devotee and sat on them as shown below:
ISH (AGNI) – head; APA – face; PRITHWI DHARA & ARYAM – Chest; AVANTSA –heart; DITI & INDRA – Shoulders; SURYA & SOMA – Hands; RUDRA & RAJAYAKSHMA – left arm; SAVITRA & SAVITA – right arm; VIVASWAN & MITRA – Stomach; PUSHA & ARYAMA – Wrist; ASUR & SESHA – left side; VITATHA & GRAHAKSHAT – right side; YAMA & VARUNA – Thighs; GANDHARVA & PURAMADAN – on the knees; SUGRIV & BHRISH – shanks; DWARIKA & MRIGA –ankles; JAYA & SHAKRA – on the hairs grown on the feet; BRAHMA – on the heart.
Being bound like that, the devotee laid down there only. Since then, he has been lying there surrounded by the celestial Beings and thus he is known as “the God of Vaastu or VAASTU PURUSHA”.
Brahmasthan
Brahmasthan Vastu is the most powerful and holy spot of any property and has been found to be the centre of the house. It is the energy point of the house, and you must ensure brahmasthan vastu dosh nivaran if required.Vastu shastra which includes the principle of Brahmasthan Vastu zone is a very important architectural science that helps to amplify the positive energies present in the universe within your home or office, while it suppresses the negative energies that affect prosperity, happiness, success and overall health of the individuals. The principle of Vastu shastra believes that all zones are of equal importance and the construction and or decoration of your home/office or business within this zone takes care of about 90% of Vastu correction. The zone being talked about is the Brahmasthan Vastu zone.
The Significance of Brahmasthan in Vastu
The Brahmasthan symbolises Lord Brahma’s position in the house which is considered to be the most powerful and holy spot of any property. With respect to calculations made, it has been found to be the centre of the house. This spot is also referred to as the energy point because energy from different directions meets at this point. The spot is crucial because it distributes positive energy in the property and among the inhabitants. The Brahmasthan vastu zone also asserts power over five elements of nature referred to as Panchtattva. The centre is helpful for people residing or working on the property because it contributes to a happy, healthy and prosperous life for its people. Disturbance in this spot such as construction or occupying it with
furniture or a bathroom or even a septic tank can affect the proper distribution of energy and can even generate negative energy and its disbursal.
Marmasthana: Vital Points of Mandala
While a vastu architect plans the entire property layout, it is essential to respect Marmasthana's energy point. Marma or Maha marma in vastu is the vital energy coordinates on the vastu purush Mandal diagram, which we should not hurt by pillars, nails, or any heavy structure. According to Brihat Samhita, there are nine maha Marmasthanas. The intersection of the six diagonals (as mentioned in the picture ) calculates vastu marma points.
In Vastu Soukhyam and Samrangangan Sutradhara, these diagonals are known as Vanshas. The diagonal extends between the following cells-from Shikhi to Pitra, Aditi to Sugriv, Jayant to Bhringraj, Roga to Anil, Mukhya to Bhrisha, Sosha to Vitath. Maha marma is the point where the directional crosses each other.
The head, mouth, heart, navel, anus, and nipples are the six significant parts of Vastu Purusha, just as a human being. We should never hurt these sensitive points in any manner. The horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines we draw inside the mandala are the veins of Vastu Purusha through which the cosmic energies flow, make the plot a living entity.We must not make any pillars, walls, doors,
windows upon these points. As previously said, Vastu Purusha is considered a human being. So, according to vastu shastra, if we hurt the marma points of vastu purush mandala by a marma vastu vedha, it may cause severe vastu defects for that structure.
Relation between Astrology and Vastu
There is definite relationship between Vaastu-shastra and Astrology. Vaastu provides the knowledge about the principles that are to be adopted while building any structure, house, temples, corporate office, industrial sheds, factories etc., so as to make the residents happy, healthy and wealthy.
According to Astrology if Dasha of unfavorable planet is going on, though they are living in a house constructed according to Vaastu principles the native has to face difficulties and troubles during this Dasha period. Karma the Basic principle of life indicates the effects of our actions upon the world, the position we want to achieve in life, apart from whether it is a Service or Business.
Vastu concerns itself with space, time and architecture while Astrology works with time, making the blend of both an important influence in human life.
In India, Vastu Shastra is believed to have a strong influence on people, their behavior and their success in various areas of their life. Modelling your home according to Vastu is therefore considered one of the most influential ways of channelizing this energy. Based on the Panchabhoutik theory of astrology and the twelve zodiac signs associated with it, they provide significant importance of direction.
The knowledge of house building technology has grown so vast into special fields of architecture, engineering and interior decoration etc., while the importance of Vastu has gone into oblivion where as architecture is concerned. Vastu provides the knowledge of the principles to be adopted in building of temples, houses, corporate offices, industrial sheds, factories etc., so as to make the native happy, healthy and prosperous. Even in hindu temples, idols of navagrahas (9 planets) are placed facing the direction(s) which they rule in Vaastu.
Sun is in center and faces east, Venus faces east, Mercury faces north-east, Jupiter faces north, Ketu faces north-west, Saturn faces west, Rahu faces south-west, Mars faces South and Moon faces South-East.Based on properties defined for these 9 planets, usage of these directions and corners is decided in vaastu.For example, mercury controls business, money flow, mathematics etc.So north-east direction is usually full of water, green plants etc. Rahu is the head of serpant, so heavy weights like overhead tanks, storage rooms etc are built in that direction to supress its negative impact.
If a person is effected by a malefic planet in his/her horoscope, then usually the problem comes from direction related to that planet and related corner in the house will cause frequent disturbances or repairs. For an individual’s misery it could be said that there may be Graha Dosham or Griha dosham or both.An unfortunate person stays in a house built not in conformity with the principles of vastu, while a fortunate individual lives in a house built as per vastu, with or without his knowledge.
The following charts are an illustration of how Vastu and Astrological planets are related to each other.

The placement of parts of your house in accordance to these important directions play an influential role in personal as well as overall development of your family. Depending on your Sun sign, the direction of placement of rooms in your house may change. You might want to take the advice of a professional who would look into your signs and guide you in the ideal direction. This would be based on your Sun sign and the impact of the ruling planet together with the directional force exerted by the Vastu of your home. One is engaged in doing good works by observing about all types of conveyances like- time, planetary position, deeds, etc. for making his luck auspicious and progressive after knowing it. Therefore, it is very important for this work that if accurate information is gotten on the basis of favorable condition and auspicious moment with the help of his birth chart before starting a house construction and for purchasing the plot and getting its possession, any type of obstruction or disturbance does not appear.

The Five Elements in Vastu Shastra
Vastu Shastra is the amalgamation of science, astrology, art, and astronomy. Commonly known as the science of architecture, Vastu Shastra revolves around five major elements- Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Space. With the help of these five elements, one can create a blissful casa that is filled with love, positivity and prosperity. Whether you are someone who is renovating or busy decorating your new home, it is time for you to know about the 5 elements of Vastu Shastra.

The body (earth) depends on the water. Contents in the body balanced by the Agni (fire). Agni-heat is controlled by the air. Breathing which is possible only if we are having space (Aakash) inside the human body.
The core concept of Vastu Shastra entails the five key elements: Water, fire, earth, wind, and space. Each element is associated with a specific direction and energy which serve as a guide to enhance the flow of the energy and improve the balance of the five elements in the surrounding environment.
Fire
Fire, together with Water, Earth, Wind, and space is one of the five known basic Elements, which represent the substance of the world. A physical appearance of fire can do for you what the sun itself does for the whole world – it provides you with light and warmth and can serve you as a heat source to cook upon. It is also an impulsive and dangerous element, that can smolder and suddenly burst. Fire can give wings of courage, compassion and, also devotion.It is seen as the force burning inside us, giving us iron willpower to go for our goals, bestowing upon us the passion for doing it with all of yourself, resulting in the honor and freedom to do it without backstabbing and with an open face.
Fire is the transformer, converting the energy of other objects into other forms: heat, light, ash,and,smoke.The Buddha defined the Fire element as “that by which one is warmed, ages, and is consumed, and that by which what is eaten … gets completely digested.” In other words, the Fire element within is metabolism. It’s our energy.
Objects:-Lamps, candles, sunlight, salt lamps, or items that generate heat.
Water

An energy-efficient environment attracts many benefits and more positive opportunities. The water element is one of the strongest elements of Vastu Shastra. Water is what gives life to our planet. Without it, we would not exist. Water is the essence of life. Water has always been synonymous with authority & power.

Directions in Vastu
There are total eight directions North, South, East, and West are called cardinal directions and the point where any of the two directions meet is called
intercardinal or ordinal point like NE, SE, SW, NW. These directions are given a lot of importance in Vastu Shastra as they combine the benefits of two directions in totality. Our Shastra says if we worship, idolize and honour the Lords of these eight directions, people yield eternal blessings in the form of success, health and prosperity.
How to find directions in your house as per vastu?
If you are wondering how to check Vastu for home entrance, use a compass to determine the house-facing direction. Stand at the entrance door of your home, facing outside. Use a compass to check the direction that you are facing. That is the direction that your house faces.
Once the 0°/360° mark on the compass and the north of the needle are aligned, determine the direction directly in front of you to check the house facing direction If you face north while coming out of your home then you have a north-facing house. Similarly, for the other directions. Take, at least, three readings from various parts of your house to determine the correct direction.
East
East is the direction that brightens up first on a day, and nature conscious Vastu too places this as the first among the directions. The Sun rises in the East, and that remains as the planetary Lord of this direction, while Indra, the king of the heavens is the deity. East represents essential features like intellect, health, wealth and joy, and hence keeping this direction faultless in the house can provide the occupants with these blessings in good measure. Any defects there can affect the head of the family. Magnetic compass denotes area from 67 ½ degrees-112 ½ degrees.
West
Varuna is the deity of West, and the much-feared Saturn is the planetary Lord. According to Vastu, this direction denotes prosperity, success, and fame. The western direction in a house should be fault-free, which could otherwise affect mental health. Magnetic compass denotes area from 247 ½ degrees-292 ½ degrees.
North
Kubera and Mercury remain the ruling deity and planetary god of the northern direction, respectively. This stands for learning, meditation, and happiness. A vacant North can ensure comforts and achievements, while cluttering can cause diseases. Magnetic compass denotes area from 337 ½ degrees-22 ½ degrees.
South
South has Yama as its deity and the fiery Mars as its planetary Lord. This direction indicates courage and success. It is advisable to have this direction at a higher level and also have heavy things there for excellent benefits. Presence of water or mirror there can lead to ill health. Magnetic compass denotes area from 157 ½ degrees-202 ½ degrees.
Southeast
Southeast has Agni (fire) as the deity and Venus as the planetary Lord. Vastu considers this as the direction of health. A well-kept Southeast of a house can ensure robust health for the occupants, which otherwise can contribute to ailments. Magnetic compass denotes area from 112 ½ degrees-157 ½ degrees.
Southwest
Nairitti is the deity for Southwest while its ruling deity is the shadow planet Rahu. Vastu holds this as the devil’s direction. This should ideally remain occupied, and that can give people the fighting spirit. However, a poor Southwest can give rise to problems, accidents, and injuries. Magnetic compass denotes area from 202 ½ degrees-247 ½ degrees.
Northwest
This direction has Vayu as its deity and the Moon as the planetary Lord. This represents relatives and friends. A well-maintained Northwest can provide benefits through relationships, while a defective one can result in enmity and litigations. Magnetic compass denotes area from 292 ½ degrees-337 ½ degrees.
Northeast
For the Northeast, Lord Shiva is the deity and Jupiter, the planetary god. This direction represents wisdom and spiritual orientation. A faultless Northeast would do overall good for the occupants, while a defective one may create tensions and dissonance among people. Magnetic compass denotes area from 22½ degrees-67 ½ degrees.

Vastu and Zodiac Signs
Vaastu and astrology (horoscope) is closely interrelated. And most of the sacred sciences of India are interconnected in one of the other way, directly or indirectly. The science of Vastu is actually is an extended branch of Astrology connected to architecture and building science. Indeed both Vastu and astrology are indistinguishable part of each other. Both of these sophisticated sciences are related to each other in one or the other way.
Astro vastu is the combination of astrology and vastu shastra, simultaneously judging birth charts and vastu at the individual level. In the old scriptures, there was no such thing as an Astro vastu. At that time, vastu consultants were experts in both sciences, i.e., vastu vidya and astrology, and applied both sciences at the time of practice. We have seen that not all vastu have the same effect on everyone. The results of the vastu vary on different members of a household. Therefore, the application of astrology, as well as vastu shastra to solve
problems at the individual level, is very effective. AppliedVastu uses this tool efficiently at the time of practicing Vastu Shastra. know.

Modern Vastu and Astrology
WHAT IS TRADITIONAL AND MODERN VAASTU SHASTRA?
Vastu shastra could be defined as the placement of different parts of the houses to mitigate the planetary forces and their impact on our lives. According to the Vastu, the homes are designed and are considered to be the Indian system of architecture development in India.
In ancient times, it was considered that Vastu influences our lives, and hence the construction of the house should take place according to the Vastu shastra. This was done to ensure health, wealth, and so on.
Unlike the traditional Vastu shastra, the modern Vastu shastra does not discriminate among the people according to their stature in society. Done were the days when one person used to rule over the other people. Now everyone shares the same footing, and hence, the modern Vastu shastra follows this system to impart health, wealth, and prosperity.
The modern Vastu shastra system is as follows.
1. It includes the design.
2. The layout of the building.
3. Space arrangement.
4. Placement of things.
5. Geometry.

7) A house should not be constructed as north or east frontier
Shiva and Shakti Concept
Besides the five elements, we should also consider the effects of the prana flow from the sun and the moon. Shiva (the Sun) is represented by the direction of east because this is where the sun rises. Shiva is the Divine Father, the male
positive prana, or life force energy. Vastu principles say it is important to have more windows and doors in the east because it is important for the first ultraviolet sun rays to enter the home and nourish the people living there. Those first rays of the sun are very important for the cells of our body to be recharged. We carry this prana with us throughout the day to make us more productive, successful, and to ultimately achieve wealth. The north is represented by Shakti (the Moon), who is the Divine Mother and positive female aspect of cosmic energy. Shakti represents creativity, health, wealth, and love. Openings like windows and doors in the north are beneficial. Areas of the northeast represent the combination of Shiva and Shakti and are a very important part of the home. According to Indian mythology, both Shiva and Shakti are positive and equal to each other and cannot function without each other. There must always be balance in creation so the male and female principles can exist in harmony. If Shiva (the male) is dominating too much, with lack of Shakti, the effect can be tough, hard, or even cruel. One becomes materialistic with no inner guidance and will do anything to get more power and will not care for others. If Shakti (the female) is dominating, without Shiva, the inspirations and ideas and inner guidance that she provides will never manifest in the material world. Both are needed and balance is very important if one wants to get health, wealth, and have good relationships. When the energies of Shiva and Shakti enter a home, they should flow slowly throughout the home and be encouraged to stay as long as possible. They should be able to enter from the northeast, north, and east and slowly exit through the southwest, south, or west regions of the home. Their flow should always be in balance and is essential for a harmonious home.

There is a science associated with mantras where the proper recitation of mantras assists in creating optimistic sound waves that come to the aid of individuals suffering from some complication or the other.This science behind the sound waves created by the chanting of different mantras is very powerful and hefty. The infinite space around us cannot be seen, similarly, the energies that space create or contain is also not very perceivable as it requires the development of a sixth sense to do so.

Conclusion
Everybody wants growth, prosperity and healthy relationships in their lives. However, at times, despite all our efforts, miseries and troubles overshadow our lives. Vastu shastra, the traditional Indian system of architecture, says the reason may be hidden behind our surroundings and building structure. It is generally observed that people changing their houses get new house containing same Vastu faults which were there in previous house too. This indicates that there are some Vastu faults which reveal the flaws of our horoscope or else we can say that we get house according to planetary position in our horoscope. Therefore we fail to remove all Vastu faults from our house and even if we satiate planetary flaws these Vastu faults come back in one or other form.
Vastu Shastra assigns each region of a house to a particular deity and a specific function. Negative aspects present in the horoscope of the owner of the house will also affect the situation within the house. The affected planet will also affect his own corner of the house. Vastu Shastra and astrology thus have a very close connection in different traditions, like Vedic astrology and Lal Kitab. When you buy or construct a house, if you follow the precepts of astrology and Vastu Shastra together, you will enhance your chances of living for many years in a lovely, strong house that brings you health, wealth, and peace.
Hence Vastu and Jyotish (Astrology) cannot do without each other. Since they are like air and water; they are guiding factors. In the socio-economic context of the ancient and middle ages. jyotish (Astrology) and thus is old as the Vedas themselves. Jyotish literally means ‘light of god’ or ‘path to fulfillment of desires’. Astrology represents ‘eyes’ in the vedic body as it enables us to see our past, present and future. This ‘divine eye’ is achieved by those who are well versed in the scientific study and application of the language of heavenly bodies.
