Vastu, the ancient Indian science of architecture and space alignment, has guided generations in creating harmonious homes and workspaces. However, in the age of the internet, myths and misconceptions around Vastu have grown just as rapidly. Many people blindly follow hearsay without understanding the deeper logic and science behind the principles.
At Aarya Astro Science, we believe in combining tradition with truth. In this article, our Vastu experts debunk the top 5 common Vastu myths and reveal what truly matters for energy alignment.
Myth 1: North-East Corner Must Always Be Empty
Truth:
The North-East (Ishanya) is indeed considered the most spiritually charged and energetically sensitive direction in Vastu. But that doesn’t mean it must be left empty or unused.
Expert Insight:
You can use this corner for meditation, prayer rooms, or quiet sitting areas. Minimalist furniture or decorative elements like crystals and spiritual idols are perfectly fine. The idea is to avoid clutter and heavy storage, not to abandon the space.
Myth 2: Vastu Is Only for Hindus or Religious Homes
Truth:
Vastu is a universal science of energy flow, not tied to any religion.
Expert Insight:
Whether you’re spiritual, religious, or even an atheist, the principles of Vastu can benefit your well-being. It’s about optimizing light, ventilation, direction, space, and layout — concepts that apply to all. Vastu is embraced by professionals, architects, and homeowners across cultures today.
Myth 3: If a House Is Not 100% Vastu-Compliant, It’s Doomed
Truth:
No house is perfect, and Vastu compliance is not an all-or-nothing rule.
Expert Insight:
Even if your home has some Vastu flaws (like a bathroom in the wrong direction or a missing corner), you don’t need to panic. Our experts at Aarya Astro Science provide non-invasive remedies using colors, mirrors, energy pyramids, metal strips, plants, and symbolic placements to balance energies without structural changes.
Myth 4: South-Facing Homes Are Inauspicious
Truth:
South-facing homes are often misunderstood due to fear-based myths.
Expert Insight:
In reality, any direction can be auspicious if the layout follows proper Vastu guidelines. Many successful businesspeople live in South-facing homes. The key lies in entrance placement, room positioning, and elemental balance, not just the direction of the plot.
Myth 5: Vastu Only Applies to Homes, Not Apartments or Rentals
Truth:
Vastu applies to all types of spaces, including apartments, rented homes, shops, and offices.
Expert Insight:
Even if you live in a rented apartment or don’t have control over construction, there are simple Vastu adjustments you can apply — like placing plants, mirrors, crystals, or using directional colors — to improve the flow of positivity and remove blocks.
