South-west 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-west facing main door.
Is a south-west facing house good as per Vastu? 16-zone: SSW avoid (4 of 5), SW avoid (4 of 5), WSW neutral. Traditional 8-direction: SW avoid (4 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Avoid (4 of 5) | A south-west entrance is traditionally the least preferred. |
16-zone school
The south-west 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-west facing homes can get different verdicts.
| Door in | Reading | Why |
|---|---|---|
| SSW | Avoid (4 of 5) | An entrance in the disposal or south-west zone is read as a drain on money and relationships. |
| SW | Avoid (4 of 5) | An entrance in the disposal or south-west zone is read as a drain on money and relationships. |
| WSW | 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.
