Vaasthu Shastra is not limited to houses. Its traditional principles are also considered in places where people work, conduct business, study, create, manage responsibilities and pursue their ambitions.
A student's study space, a business owner's office, a film professional's studio, an IT professional's workstation, a shop, a factory and a family home each serve a different purpose. Their Vaasthu assessment must reflect that purpose.
1. Practices for Every Home and Workplace
Maintain home, office, or shop entrances in a clean, orderly condition. Entrance positions are evaluated with the complete layout.
Give attention to the centre of the building. Where design permits, keep it free from unnecessary physical obstruction.
Keep designated prayer spaces clean and perform traditional worship for your chosen family or institutional deity.
Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space are applied alongside site, directional, and architectural arrangements.
Important Principle: Do not apply remedies blindly. A remedy must correspond to an actual identified concern rather than random decorative items or purchases.
2. Students & Exams
- • Reserve tables primarily for learning.
- • Ensure adequate light and comfort.
- • Facing East/North where layout allows.
- • Organize books to avoid distractions.
Supports discipline and consistency.
3. Business & Traders
- • Keep customer entry welcoming.
- • Secure accounts and documents.
- • Position owner's cabin and cash counter relative to complete plan.
Assessed by actual operations.
4. IT & Corporate
- • Maintain orderly workstations.
- • Consider East/North facing orientation.
- • Evaluate electrical equipment and room layout as a whole.
Evaluates whole room & building.
5. Film & Creative Professionals
Film work involves distinct spaces: residences, production offices, editing suites, and studios. Residences and professional studios serve different purposes and each require separate, dedicated Vaasthu evaluations.
Evaluates intended space function.
6. Shopkeepers & Retailers
Accommodates customer circulation, billing counters, product displays, and inventory storage. Jewellery showrooms, clothing stores, and grocery shops have different functional layout requirements.
Prioritizes customer flow & access.
7. Factories & Manufacturing
Requires site-wide evaluation: machinery placement, raw material storage, finished goods, electrical loads, and dispatch zones. Statutory industrial safety requirements must always take precedence.
Complies with safety codes.
8. Clinics & Schools
Schools focus on classrooms and study areas; clinics prioritize consultation privacy, hygiene, and room utility. Every institutional building is evaluated through its operational pattern.
Tailored to user movement patterns.
9. For Anyone Planning to Build, Buy, Rent or Renovate
Consider shape, soil, slope, surroundings, access, and site character.
Assess orientation, dimensions, entrance placement, and room plans.
Examine entrance, usable layout, workstations, and business suitability.
Understand the existing layout thoroughly before undertaking structural work.
10. Traditional Vedic Observances
Alongside physical spatial planning, sacred observances mark key project stages:
Auspicious timing for undertakings is selected through Jyotisha and Muhurta rules.
The Most Important Thing to Understand
There is no single list of remedies that can accurately address every home, business, studio, office, factory and institution.
The purpose of the space determines what must be examined. The actual layout determines which Vaasthu considerations apply. A student needs an assessment of a learning space. A business owner needs an assessment of commercial premises. An entrepreneur planning a factory needs the site and operational layout examined together.
Get a Deep, Individual Vaasthu Analysis
Your Property. Your Purpose. Your Vaasthu.
At Jois Astrology, the traditional Vedic approach to Vaasthu considers the specific property, its directions, layout, dimensions, site conditions and intended use.
Whether you are building a home, buying a property, opening a business, setting up an office or studio, planning an institution or arranging a study space, an individual assessment helps identify the Vaasthu considerations relevant to your situation.
Bring your floor plan or property details and explain how the space is used. Begin with an assessment of your actual requirements rather than spending money on remedies chosen from generic lists.
