VASTU GUIDELINE FOR SITE SOIL

To construct a building for any purpose land is required. It should be correctly noted as to what purpose it was allotted previously. There are different types of soil based on the colour-brick red, brown, yellow, dark brown, yellow soil etc. is also good for the foundation of a building. Whereas black and clayey soil which is not good for cultivation is also not good for building as it retains water and can cause to the foundation.

It is advised to avoid a site with black and clayey soil. The reason being the black soil indicates the soil that retains water and does not allow good drainage. It is best to avoid such a site because it will require special kind of foundation and waterproofing which will cost many times more than the usual foundation.

Again, avoid rocky piece of land for construction purpose. Land with too many rocks and thorny trees is not considered good is not considered good. This is because it may be an indication that there is rock below which we will have to be blasted out before laying the foundation, causing unexpected expenditure.

A land with lot of worms should be avoided as this may be an indication that the soil is very loose and will not support the foundation well.

ENVIRONMENT OR SURROUNDINGS OF THE PLOT

Plots that are fertile with plants and greeneries are very good.

A river or big canal in North side and if water from west to east, it is good.

Similarly, if the canal is on the east side of the plot with water flowing from south to north, it is good.

Plots with rivers or canal flowing on west or south side of the plot should be avoided.

Hills, rocks, mounds of earth, big boulders etc. on the Southern, south-west and western sides of the plot are good, in other sides it may hamper the progress.

There should be no graveyard, cemetery, or tomb adjacent to the plot or in front and back side of the plot.

Location of a public place of worship near the plot affects the inmates. Such place on the right side of a plot can cause material loss , on left side may bring grief and sorrow, in front can obstruct progress and if they are 100 feet apart , those disastrous results are minimised.

Similarly avoid having plot near cinema theatres, schools, and colleges.

OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT GATE OF THE PLOT

Big tree: obstruction to the progress of children

Gutter or Ditch: Grief.

Pointing corner of another building: Mental unrest.

Water drainage: Draining of income due to unexpected expenses.

Straight street: Affects longevity of inmates.

Dilapidated house or wall: Affects prosperity.

Staircase railings: May cause sadness.

Pillars, Electric and telephone Post: Affects female.

SURROUNDINGS AND NEIGHBOURS

The surroundings of our neighbouring houses on all sides also affect us.

High rising tall buildings should not be there in the Northeast side of the plot because they may cause mental unrest. However, if they are located in south, South-West or western sides then it will be auspicious to the buyer of the new plot or house.

Do not purchase a smaller plot in between two neighbouring big plots. Similarly, do not buy a smaller house, which exists between two tall buildings. This may make the buyer poorer day by day.

Getting rid of Shalya dosh

Gaumukhi plot is auspicious if the roads are there in southern and western sides of the plot.

DIAGONAL PLOTS

The plots in which the major directions fall in the corner are known as diagonal plots. As a result, the magnetic meridian instead of passing through the centre of the plot makes an angle of 45 degrees with the main axis of the plot.

Diagonal plots can have roads on North-East, the North-West, the South-East, and the South-Westsides. Amongst these plots with road in the North-East side are considered auspicious by vastu shastra. The North-West and South-East side ones are of medium level. The ones in South-West are useful for certain business ventures but these should never be taken for residential purpose.

The diagonal plots with roads on two, three or four sides give mixed results. However, south-west side should not be used as entrance.
