North facing house Vastu
A house faces the direction you look towards when you stand at the main door and look out. Here is how each school reads a north facing main door.
Is a north facing house good as per Vastu? 16-zone: NNW neutral, N good, NNE good. Traditional 8-direction: N good.
These rules are a draft rule set, pending review by our consultants. Treat them as a guide, not a verdict.
Traditional 8-direction school
| Door in | Reading | Why |
|---|---|---|
| N | Good | North, north-east and east entrances are the traditionally preferred ones. |
16-zone school
The north side of a home spans three of the 16 zones. The reading depends on which one the door sits in, which is why two north facing homes can get different verdicts.
| Door in | Reading | Why |
|---|---|---|
| NNW | Neutral | No rule for a main door here. |
| N | Good | An entrance in a zone linked to opportunity, health, clarity or social ties. |
| NNE | Good | An entrance in a zone linked to opportunity, health, clarity or social ties. |
Facing is one input, not the verdict
The door is one room among many. Where the kitchen, toilets, master bedroom and pooja room fall matters as much, and those depend on your plan, not on the facing.
- Vastu for the main door
- Vastu for the kitchen
- Vastu for the bedroom
- Vastu for the toilet
- Vastu for the pooja room
