South 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 south facing main door.
Is a south facing house good as per Vastu? 16-zone: SSE neutral, S neutral, SSW avoid (4 of 5). Traditional 8-direction: S avoid (2 of 5).
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 |
|---|---|---|
| S | Avoid (2 of 5) | South and south-east entrances are traditionally less preferred. |
16-zone school
The south side of a home spans three of the 16 zones. The reading depends on which one the door sits in, which is why two south facing homes can get different verdicts.
| Door in | Reading | Why |
|---|---|---|
| SSE | Neutral | No rule for a main door here. |
| S | Neutral | No rule for a main door here. |
| SSW | Avoid (4 of 5) | An entrance in the disposal or south-west zone is read as a drain on money and relationships. |
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
- Vastu for the staircase
