Questions from Readers – Related to Vastu

1. We stay in a small apartment in Vile Parle and cannot make any structural changes. Are there any simple Vastu remedies we can follow at home?
Answer:
Yes. Balancing the five elements—Water, Air, Fire, Space, and Earth—according to Vastu directions can help bring harmony even without structural changes.

Simple remedies include:

Placing the mandir in the North-East direction

Keeping a bowl of water in the Northern zone of the house

Having the master bedroom in the South-West zone

These small adjustments can help balance Vastu energies effectively.

2. There is constant stress and lack of peace in our house. How can we know if this is due to Vastu imbalance?
Answer:
Vastu imbalance, combined with negative aura, can be a reason for lack of peace at home.

Remedies include:

Adding turmeric and rock salt to water and wiping the floor every Saturday to energise the house

Placing a piece of alum wrapped in black cloth in the North-West direction, especially if lack of peace is linked to debts

These practices help neutralise negative energies.

Questions from Readers – Related to Astrology

1. Despite working hard, my career and business progress keeps getting delayed. Can astrology explain this?
Answer:
Yes. Jupiter plays a major role in career and business growth. When Jupiter is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house, it can cause delays.

A simple remedy is to feed chapati and jaggery to a cow, which helps strengthen Jupiter and supports growth in work and business.

2. Many people suggest wearing gemstones. Is it safe to wear them without proper horoscope consultation?
Answer:
Gemstones should be worn only under proper guidance from an expert astrologer. Wearing the correct gemstone can balance planetary energies.

However, wearing an incorrect gemstone may lead to mental imbalance and financial stress, so consultation is essential.

3. My child is intelligent but lacks focus in studies. Are there any planetary reasons behind this?
Answer:
Yes. Mercury is the key planet for focus and learning. If Mercury is associated with Rahu or Ketu, it can lead to lack of concentration and weak decision-making abilities.

4. Can astrology help in choosing the right time for important decisions like buying a house, starting a business, or marriage?
Answer:
Yes. Studying Mahadasha and Vimshottari Mahadasha helps in selecting the right timing for important life decisions such as property purchase, business ventures, and marriage.

Expert Consultation
Vastu and Astrology are not about superstition, but about understanding energy balance and timing. While general remedies can support overall well-being, personalised guidance is always recommended for accurate and effective results.
