7 Vastu Mistakes to Avoid While Buying a New House

In the race to maximize square footage, modern developers often commit 'Vastu crimes' that buyers pay for later. These mistakes can create a 'stagnation' in life where you work hard but see no results.

1. The North-East Toilet

The North-East is the brain of the house. Placing a toilet here is like placing a drain in your brain. It leads to constant confusion, poor decision-making, and chronic health issues.

2. Circular or Spiral Stairs

While they look modern, spiral stairs act like a drill, creating a vortex of unstable energy. They are particularly destructive if placed in the center of the house (Brahmasthan).

3. The 'Cut' in the South-West

Many modern apartments have a balcony or a cut-out in the South-West to provide a view. This weakens the Earth element, leading to instability in relationships and careers. The South-West must always be the highest and heaviest part of the house.
