Vastu Principles for Plot, Home & Property
Understanding the traditional principles of Vastu Shastra can help you evaluate land, plot shape, direction, slope and surrounding roads before planning a home, office, shop or other property.
Why Vastu Principles Matter Before Selecting Property
Vastu Shastra gives importance to the location, orientation, shape and surroundings of a property. Before purchasing land or beginning construction, traditional Vastu principles can be used to examine the plot and its relationship with the surrounding directions.
The traditional principles presented in this Astroshastra guide focus particularly on plot selection, directions, shape of land, slope and the position of roads around a property.

9 Important Vastu Principles
These traditional guidelines cover the major factors discussed in the Astroshastra Vastu principles guide.
Directions Facing the Plot
Direction is one of the first factors considered in traditional Vastu when evaluating a plot. The original Astroshastra guidelines associate different road-facing directions with different types of activities and outcomes.
Shape of the Plot
According to the original Astroshastra Vastu principles, there are many shapes and designs of plots, but four particular forms are recommended in the source material.
Square
A square plot is included among the recommended traditional plot forms.
Rectangular
The original guideline mentions an ideal ratio of 1:2.
Sherdah
Wider at the front than the back, resembling the face of a lion. Traditionally considered good for business and industry.
Gaumukhi
Wider at the back than the front, resembling the face of a cow. Traditionally considered suitable for residential purposes.
Slope of the Plot or Land
The original Astroshastra guideline states that the slope of the plot or land should be towards the North and East.
The recommended slope described in the source material is towards North and East.
Plots Having Road on One Side
The traditional guideline in the original article associates a plot's road-facing direction with different areas of life and activity.
Plots Having Roads on Two Sides
When roads occur on two sides of a plot, the original Astroshastra guidelines provide the following traditional associations.
Plots Having Roads on Three Sides
The original Vastu guideline describes plots covered by roads on three sides as weak plots.
The source material states that such a plot can be improved by providing a passage on the fourth side.
Plots Having Roads on All Sides
According to the original Astroshastra Vastu principle, a plot facing roads on all sides is described as the best plot.
Traditional guideline: roads on all sides are considered the best plot configuration in the original article.
Plots Facing a T-Junction
A plot facing a road with a T-junction is described in the original guideline as a weak plot.
A T-junction should therefore be carefully considered when evaluating land or property according to the traditional Vastu framework.
Plots at the Dead End of a Road
The original article states that a plot located at the end of a road is not considered a good plot according to the traditional Vastu guideline.
