South-east 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-east facing main door.
Is a south-east facing house good as per Vastu? 16-zone: ESE avoid (3 of 5), SE neutral, SSE neutral. Traditional 8-direction: SE 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SE | Avoid (2 of 5) | South and south-east entrances are traditionally less preferred. |
16-zone school
The south-east 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-east facing homes can get different verdicts.
| Door in | Reading | Why |
|---|---|---|
| ESE | Avoid (3 of 5) | An entrance in a zone linked to anxiety or low mood. |
| SE | Neutral | No rule for a main door here. |
| SSE | Neutral | No rule for a main door here. |
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.
