10 Vastu patterns govern your utility. Grouped by severity — critical rules first.

Critical Rules

Highest impact on your home's Vastu alignment.

AG-004critical

Well and Borewell in North-East

Farm well and borewell in the NE — Soma's water-element zone where underground water rises most willingly with divine purity. SW well creates a void in the earth-element foundation; SE well produces fire-water elemental clash. The NE well is the farm's most critical Vastu element.

★★★

GV-025critical

Government Generator in SE

The backup power generator — a combustion-engine-driven electrical power generation unit — must occupy the Southeast, Agni's domain. The generator converts chemical fire (fuel combustion) into electrical fire (current), producing heat, exhaust, noise, and electromagnetic energy — every output is fire-element in nature. Mangal (Mars) governs this placement because power generation is an act of controlled force and energy conversion, all Martian qualities amplified in Agni's quarter. Unlike GV-021 (fire station vehicle bay — emergency deployment) or GV-023 (institutional kitchen — cooking fire), the generator is specifically about electrical power generation through internal combustion. Placing the generator in SE ensures combustion fire operates in its natural zone, exhaust dissipates without contaminating the NE prana-entry, and electrical output radiates from the fire-element source to power the entire compound.

★★★

IN-023critical

Fire Station and Safety Equipment in South-East

The factory fire station and fire safety equipment belong in the SE (Agni's domain) — the 'fire fights fire' principle. Agni cooperates with fire-fighters stationed in his own quarter, granting them swiftness and authority over unwanted fire. Fire equipment in the NE (Water zone) or NW (Air zone) is energetically compromised.

★★★

Major Rules

Important guidelines for optimal placement and energy flow.

IN-022major

Water Treatment Plant in North-East

The water treatment plant belongs in the NE — Water element's natural domain — where Ishanya's purification energy and Varuna's governance transform contaminated water into nourishing resource. The WTP structure should be light and well-maintained, not an oversized mass that crushes the NE's energy entry point.

★★☆

IN-043major

Ventilation System and HVAC in North-West

Industrial HVAC and ventilation equipment belongs in the NW — Vayu's domain governs all air movement and atmospheric regulation. The NW's air element naturally supports mechanical ventilation. SE placement forces HVAC to fight fire-element heat. NW fresh-air intake captures prevailing wind patterns.

★★☆

Additional Rules

Supplementary guidelines for fine-tuning.

AG-041moderate

Vermicompost Unit in NW or West

Vermicompost Unit in NW or West — air-element placement following standard agricultural Vastu. Aligns function with cosmic directional energy for optimal farm performance.

★☆☆

IN-044moderate

Dust Collection and Cyclone in North-West

Dust collection systems belong in the NW — dust extraction is Vayu's atmospheric purification function. The NW's air-element energy naturally supports particulate separation. NE dust collection compromises sacred purity; no dust collection contaminates all zones.

★☆☆

IN-050moderate

Solar Panel Array in South-East or South

Solar panels belong in the SE or South — capturing Surya's fire-element energy at maximum intensity. South-facing panels receive maximum annual irradiance. NE solar adds weight to the lightest zone, blocking prana. Solar inverter belongs in the SE as fire-element electrical equipment.

★☆☆

IN-051moderate

Rainwater Harvesting in North-East

Rainwater harvesting belongs in the NE — Soma's water-element zone naturally collects rain at the compound's lowest point. Underground sump preserves NE openness. SW harvesting waterloggs the earth zone; SE harvesting creates fire-water conflict.

★☆☆

TM-024moderate

Shoe Rack at NW Entrance

Temple footwear storage must be placed at the NW entrance — Vayu's (Wind) transit zone naturally handles transient, impure objects that come and go with each devotee. Moon (Chandra) as NW's planetary ruler brings changeability and flux matching the shoe-rack's function. NW placement keeps Ashuddha (impure) footwear far from the sacred NE (Ishaan) zone and the deity's East-facing Darshana axis. Ventilation is essential — Vayu must circulate through the shoe storage to carry impurity away rather than trapping it.
