Nakshatra or Star compatibility for Love or Marriage


The following Koota/Nakshatra matching chart, based on the highly reliable South Indian Dasa Koota system, will give you the matching compatibility score of the boy and the girl. For this you need the Nakshatra or the birth star of the boy and the girl.

Before you start jumping to any conclusions, let me tell you that for marriage purpose both the horoscopes must be thoroughly matched by an experienced astrologer. This is done based on the planetary combinations of the ascendant or lagna, all the 9 planets, the nakshatra or birth star based koota/guna matching, mangala dosha and also the navamsa charts matching. Marriage is a life long association and must be taken seriously.


However to get a rough general idea you can check the matching of the Five Astro-signs – the sun sign, the rasi or moon sign, the lagna or ascendant and the nakshatra based koota/guna matching and also the Chinese sign.


The matching is always done from the girl’s Nakshatra to the boy’s Nakshatra. Check the girls Nakshatra vertically down and match it with the boys Nakshatra given along the same row. For example, if the girl’s Moon is in Aries and in the Nakshatra Krittika 1st quarter and the boy’s moon is in Libra and Chitra 3rd quarter, you note the star# of both, from list of Nakshatras. The girl’s Nakshatra is #3 & the boy’s is 14. From the girls Nakshatra # 3 in the vertical list check along the row till you come to the boy’s Nakshatra #till you come to the column under the boys Nakshatra #. In this case the Koota Matching score is 27 points, or 27 Gunas.


A Gana matiching score of 18 is the minimum required for compatibility. The higher the score, the better it is. Please note that this Gana matching is not the only thing for astrological marriage matching. You need to get the horoscopes matched by an experienced astrologer

Vaastu Shastra and your horoscope





If you think that just by aligning your house according to the rules of Vaastu Shastra can clear off all your problems then the answer is NO. Just reading a book on Vaastu, and making the necessary changes on the home front can never bring the desired changes, and sometimes can lead to major disappointments and mammoth expenditure. The best example to explain this is to, either fitting yourself in a ready-to-wear dress material, or getting your dress stitched according to your needs. The personal choices may differ, but it is always true that the stitched material will FIT better than the ready-to-wear dress. This explains that even Vaastu reading has to be customized according to the person?s charts, as the reading vary from person-to-person.


Vaastu and astrology (horoscope) is closely interrelated. And most of the sacred sciences of India are interconnected in one of the other way, directly or indirectly.


The directions are linked to the planets, and they are invariably linked to different events of individual?s life. For example the planet Saturn signifies the West, and also addresses issue like old age.


The 4th house in an individual?s chart signifies the living place of the native. And the matters related to house are indicated by the planets in the 4th house and also the position of the 4th lord in a chart. Planets play a crucial role in understanding the nature of the directions.


Here are few notes on the individual lagna (ascendant) and the main directions associated with that particular lagna..


*For Mesha (Aries) lagna moon is the 4th lord, and northwest is the main direction.
*For Rishabha (Taurus) lagna East is the main direction.
*For Mithuna (Gemini)North is the main direction.
*For Kataka (Cancer) lagna the southeast is main direction.
*For Simha (Leo) lagna the south is main direction.
*For Thula (Libra) and Vrichika (Scorpio) lagna the west is the main direction.
*For Dhanus (Sagittarius) lagna the northeast is the main direction.
*For Makara (Capricorn) lagna the south is the main direction.
*For Kumbha (Aquarius) southeast is the main direction.
*For Meena (Pisces) lagna north is the main direction.


In case if the 4th house is afflicted or has problems, then the strongest planet is taken into consideration for the reading.


People often ask whether a Vaastu perfect house be built?


The answer is simple..


If the 4th house is afflicted and if the same affliction is seen in the Chaturamsa, the person cannot build a Vaastu perfect house.


Another frequently asked question is, will rectification of the house bring in prosperity?


It all depends upon the time of the native. If a good dasha and good bhukti is running along with a Raja Yoga in the offing, Vaastu rectification will bring in lot of success. If there is no Raja Yoga, there will be difficulties.


Some people believe that they will become rich and successful if they align their house according to Vaastu rules, this is just a sign of greediness and nothing works out that way. No major textbooks of Vaastu have promised that. It is just false claims, foul marketing and exaggeration that disappoint many people in the process.

Vaastu and Intellectuality





The foundation stone of any society is considered to be its intellectual class. The essential condition for the overall progress of the society is progress of this class. The pace of the progress of this class can be increased many fold if a few vastu rules are followed.


For this class east facing plot can serve the purpose best. The Indra door will lead to inculcation and development of divine qualities that improve the practical application skills and the intellectual can optimize the use of his knowledge not only for himself but also for the welfare of the society.


Moving on to the internal construction a bedroom in the south for the intellectual will strengthen and increase his rights and his study room in the west of the house will help reach great heights. An office in the north will turn out to be very helpful especially for doctors and engineers.


If there exists a combination of spiritual principles and qualities with his/her profession, this belief can be well represented by constructing a drawing room up in the north where he/she should necessarily spend sometime on a regular basis.


A large vacant space in the east helps in the improvement of knowledge and space in the north shall bring in wealth.


It is a universally accepted fact that construction in Brahma place is strictly prohibited. Hence at the time of construction it should be left free.


1.      Construct entrances in places where deities Indra and Jayanta exist.


2.      Bedrooms in south.


3.      Study to be constructed in the west of the plot.


4.      Spend adequate time in the drawing room while studying.


5.      More vacant space in the east will bring more knowledge.


6.      Large Vacant space in the north will bring wealth.


7.      Brahma’s place needs to be protected.

Vaastu and Diseases





It is universally known that our body is constituted of 5 elements namely fire, water, air, earth and sky. It is due to the intricate balance of these elements on the planet earth that led to the evolution of humans and other organisms. Any imbalance of these elements leads to diseases in humans. The balance of these natural elements can be restored through vaastu.


Different conditions are created for the existence of humans. All ailments arising due to vaastu defects are either by vastu defect in construction or due to residing in a defective direction. There is a strong link between vaastu and the human body. Any vaastu defect in construction can lead to disease in the human body. The connection between disease and vaastu defects in a house can be attributed to the following points.


1. A heavy construction in the north-east leads to insomnia, mental disorders, tension, irritation and a constant state of illness prevails or all the natural energy gets restricted.


2. An extension of south-east, a bedroom or a door in this direction can cause mental stress / tension, disturbed mind, high blood pressure etc. An underground water tank in this part of the house can lead to dehydration, diarrhea, and problems from offspring, kidney problems and ultimately there is no mental peace.


3. Sleeping in North West can be the cause of aggressive ness and loss of interest and also air borne diseases. An underground water source here may lead to mental trauma, insomnia, early maturity in children and a door in this direction can lead to accidents. A heavy construction in the north and a light construction in the south or a heavy construction in east and a light construction in the west obstruct the flow of air and energy associated with good health and thus cause insomnia, mental tension, physical weakness and prolonged ailments.


Any construction in the Brahma place i.e. in the middle of the house or an underground water source or source of fire gives path to deadly diseases, hallucinations, stomach aches, insomnia and mental disorders.


South-west extension and underground water source is associated with bad health of the male child, mental trauma, fear, insomnia, post accident ailments and water related syndromes of kidney.


Underground water source in the west gives birth to gynecological problems, fits and instability. Underground water sources in the south causes gynecological problems, cerebral disorders, mental tension and impatience.


By following the simple principles of Vaastu one can enjoy good health.

Vaastu – Energy pattern and Stagnation



Vaastu is a Vedic science. It is possible through this powerful science to bring ray of hope to the darkness of ill luck in life. Unfortunately, some misconcepts are there regarding this science. Vastu is the art of incorporating the rules of Vedas in the construction. It is a surprising fact but true that the construction on a plot can control the life systems.


It is in practice that builders would not follow the Vastu rules in the commercial constructions. They feel no fear in violating Vastu rules. The minimum period required for a construction is 1 year and in care of multistory building it could be 2-3 years. Any violation in Vastu rules result in the down fall of the builder in 6 months whereas an honest attitude towards Vastu Purusha and Vastu rules can bring happiness and prosperity in the life of the builder within an year.


If the energy pattern of the Vastu Purush is saved at the initial stages of the construction of a commercial complex, then the further construction runs smoothly. If the construction begins from the north east or the Ishaan and moves towards south, it would be result in innumerable problems whereas if construction starts from south and moves towards the north i.e. Ishaan angel is saved till the last, then not only the project would complete in scheduled time but the fiancés would be available in ample. The direction for prosperity is north. Every precaution should be taken to protect the energy channels of the north from getting disturbed. The doors of the north should be as per the ‘Dwar Yojna’ of Vastu and the construction in the south should be heavy in comparison to north to ensure prosperity and a respectable position in the society. One of the major problems in south and west facing plots in that a certain set back has to be left as per the government rules. In this case the builder should sacrifice some land to protect the ‘Ishaan’ angle or the north direction of the plot. If the setback of north and south remains equal in measurement, the results could be extraordinarily good. It is convenient to take such precautions in commercial plots as compared to residential because of the big area of the former.


Each direction has one or two auspicious doors as prescribed by the Vastu rules. The question arises in cases of normal shops with about 10-15ft widths where more than 4 doors are present. With one auspicious door one has to accept an inauspicious door also. The remedy to this is to close the front completely and get one auspicious small door or gate.


In commercial complexes any construction on the vital parts of the Vastu Purush as column wall, door, window etc. would confine or cease the success and prosperity. If vital parts of Vastu Purusha are saved there could be a surprising hike in business, and peace in family life.


The main doors in a commercial complex should be marked before the construction and symbolic doors should be left to get the benefits from the deity of that door. Door in acute north-west or Vayava brings death or imprisonment, door in southwest brings losses and court cases, door in south east or Agni brings problems related to children whereas door North east or Ishaan bring fire accidents. If these doors are not constructed then problems related to these sectors will never come. If there is no door in the northwest direction or between the west and north west or Vayavya then there would be no fear from government or loaning agencies.


Disputed lands generally have extension either in Southwest or have a door here. This small Vastu defect even if it is of a few inches extension if removed can and various problems of the owner and can infuse a new energy in his life. The centre of the plot should be saved from foundation of staircase etc. A decorated door in the acute north will not only bring prosperity in your life but will also make you three generations successful.


In big commercial complexes heavy constructions should be in south and west as compared to North and East to ensure prosperity, control of the society. For immense prosperity in a commercial complex, apart from simple Vastu remedies at least two auspicious doors (amongst Bhallat, Jayant, Varun and Grihishat) should be there. As per the texts south is the most powerful part of a plot.


The standards given by Varahmihir for the places can be now applied on big commercial complexes. If we follow the principles of constructions as had been implemented in the palaces, we have to come out of our greed and restrict ourselves in North facing cited in south building restricted upto 20% of the total plot area, astonishing results could be achieved within stipulated time of 3-5 years.

18 Rules in Vaastu for Peace and Prosperity







Vaastu shastra dates back to the Vedas or the eternal books of knowledge. It is referred to as an Upaveda of Atharvaveda. Vaastu crosses the frontiers of material science when it speaks of the concept of Vaastu Purusha Mandala. The science personifies space and its importance as Vaastu Purusha. The ancient masters’ concept of channelizing space energies into an area called Mandala to give humanity peace and prosperity was later handed over to modern world by Einstein as E=mc2 (Energy and matter are inter-convertible).


Gross energy, identified as Vaastu (sthoola) and subtle energy as Vaastu (Sookshma) very clearly highlight the importance of both physical and metaphysical aspects of construction.


A high degree of precision is used in measurements, the smallest unit being the Paramanu or the atom. The Angula and the Hasta are the standard units of measurements for buildings and Idols. Ayadi Shadvarga or Six-Force formulae should be used to orient the building properly and arrive at the correct dimensions. The compatibility of the nakshatra of the building to the nakshatra of the owner or resident of the property is of prime importance. Muhurtha at four stages of construction play an important part in giving the residents of a building peace and prosperity.

Vaastu-Do’s & Don’ts



Vaastu is an inherent energy concept of science. We cannot see energy with our naked eyes but we can realize and see its application in different forms and fashions. Universe is one of the beautiful creations of nature and everything stands alive only in the limelight of truth. Just like every subject of human aspect is governed with rules, regulations & acts, similarly the nature has also got certain key factor principles for smooth governing of its residents, in which “Vaastu stands for nature law” and ignorance of law is not an excuse anywhere. Here are some of the basic rules that everyone should follow

1.Total number of doors should be in even numbers i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 etc.
2.Pregnant females should avoid Southeast rooms
3.A plot with all corners 90 degrees having two sides road front and back is a good plot.
4.The open space left in North and east should be more than South and West.
5.The maximum construction should be done in South, West and southwest portion of the plot.
6.A pond or a water body should be placed in Northeast corner of the house.
7.A house should be designed in such a way so that there is maximum entry of sunlight and proper cross ventilation.
8.The entire opening should be made on the North and East Side of the house.
9.Trees of any kind should not be grown in eastern or northern, northeast directions.
10.Only small plant can be grown in North, east, Northeast.
11.The hearth or oven must be arranged in eastern southeast direction of the entire house, in such a way that the person cooking faces east.
12.The shadow of any tree should not fall on the house.
13.Pictures of any war scenes, demons, one in anger should not be placed in the house.
14.The slope of the property should be from West to east or South to north.

Nowadays we hear a lot about the importance of ecology, pollution – free environment, nature and all in big seminars and conferences. Our ancestors knew the secret of how to live in perfect harmony with nature and enjoy all that it bestows in plenty for the upliftment of mankind.

In the end I would like to say that you cannot become a doctor by reading books neither you can become architect by reading the books, similarly you can not become a vastu shastri by simply reading this and other sites and you should never try the remedies without proper knowledge and must consultant some Vastu advisor

‘Vaastu’ – The science of building homes in harmony with nature





The world once thought to be unfathomable, has now reduced to a Global village. With the increasing awareness about subjects like Astrology, Palmistry, Ayurveda, Yagnas and Gem therapy people have now started rediscovering these forgotten science and their significance in everyday life.


It is history repeating itself for the modern man.After all the struggles and experiments with the nature, he has fallen back on these good old concepts.


These occult sciences are not mere superstitions, but have scientific proofs to its credibility. And, Vaastu is one such science that helps you in building your living place that can bring permanent peace and harmony.


SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR VAASTU


Man is always been a tiny part in the universe gripped by the laws of the nature, any attempt by him to subdue 
the cosmos has always lead to wide degree destruction. Vaastu brings about synchronisation between you and your living place, and helps you to blend perfectly with the nature.


How does earth’s magnetic field effect bird’s flight
The earth is divided into two poles, the North Poleand the South Pole, which are considered to be the magnetic ends of the planet.It is scientifically proven that the magnetic waves or currents flow between these poles.


Pigeons and many other birds are tuned to the alignment of these magnetic waves, and use it to find their way 
home. But, it was recently found that when tiny magnet is planted on the head of the pigeons and other birds 
they tend to go astray. This simply proves that the magnetic field of our planet does surely effect living 
organism on earth.


Sunlight and you
For the first half of the day, the sunlight enters our houses from the East and during the second part it enters through the west.There is scientific evidence that the morning sunlight can provide vitamin D and other 
energies to keep you fit all through the day. Hence, in Vaastu Shastra it is advised that a house should have 
windows and doors placed in such a way that maximum sunlight enters inside.


Position of your pillow and your sleep
You may have noticed that if you change the direction of the pillow, your sleep gets disturbed and, once the 
pillow is brought back to the old position you tend to have a sound sleep. The brain responds positively or 
negatively to direction or angle or height, even if you are unaware of the changes.
