Whenever you are designing a home, there are so many elements that you will have to closely monitor. It is believed that while designing a home, you should always be mindful of the right Vastu elements. If you don’t, your home will fail to have the right energy funnel.

Vastu is an ancient science of architecture that focuses on a plethora of aspects. Some of these are the magnetic fields of earth, the precise location of the rooms, the directions of the bedrooms, the colour tones used and more to determine the right energy wavelengths for your home.

What Is A Septic Tank?

A septic tank is an underground pit that is meant to flush out the waste generated from the bathroom and the kitchen. These tanks are filled with negative energy. Therefore, it can hinder the overall positive vibes that are otherwise present in the home. So, you should always make sure to check out the details of the septic tank Vastu. Make sure to follow the right directions and placement rules for it.

The Importance of Correct Location

A septic tank is an important item as it helps in collecting waste in the right manner. Earlier, people didn’t use to pay a lot of heed to where the septic tank was placed. This is because it wasn’t heavily populated. But things have changed a lot these days. Now, every house needs to have its septic tank. It helps in disposing of the waste in the right manner.

The waste matter is filled with anaerobic bacteria, and this ensures that the solids in the waste are converted into gases. This is why the tanks are almost always filled with negative energy and if you don’t place it in the right direction, it is likely to lead to Vastu dosha. It is also important to make sure that there is no error in construction because the presence of leakage is likely to trigger a foul smell.

A wrong placement when interfered with solar and magnetic radiation will create a great deal of negative aura in the home.

The Preferred Direction

If you are looking for the right direction of a septic tank, it will always be the northwest side. If you would like to get the precise coordinates, you need to divide the north area into nine segments. When the segments have been demarcated, you should then place the septic tank in the third part.

The Directions to Avoid

Apart from this, you also need to know some of the directions you have to avoid at all costs.  The southeast and the west directions are not preferred at all as far as septic tank Vastu is concerned. You should never place the septic tanks here as this will lead to several financial woes and can trigger mental instability as well.

Another crucial point is that you should always make sure that the water and excretory matter get separated in the septic tank. The water should head to the eastern side and the excretory waste should head to the west.

Further, if you end up having waste outlet pipes in the south direction, it is absolutely important to shift them to the east or the north direction. If your home is a multi-storeyed building, make sure that the drainage pipes are not positioned towards the southwest.

Septic Tank Vastu for South Facing Home

If your home is in the south direction, steer away from the southeast, the northeast, and even the southwest corner while making the septic tank.

The right position would be the north of the west direction.

Septic Tank Vastu for North Facing Home

If your home faces the north direction, make sure that the septic tank is not placed at the entrance. The northwest corner is the most appropriate place in such cases. You can choose the northeast corner as well.

Septic Tank Vastu for An East Facing House

If your house faces the east, you can choose the northwest corner. If this is not possible for some reason or the other, you can also choose the northeast area.

Septic Tank Vastu for A West Facing House

The west or the northwest direction is the most preferred choice for the septic tank if you have a west-facing house. If this is not possible, the south of the southwest direction is the right option to have.

The pipelines present in your bathroom should have the drainage passage in the north or the northwest direction.

Also, make sure that the channels of your kitchen are placed in the east or the north direction.  The south part of the home is not considered auspicious for the sake of drainage pipes and therefore you have to avoid this part of your home.

If you live in a multi-storeyed building, you have to make sure that the drainage pipe from the upper level should not ooze out from the southwest direction. This is not considered good as per Vastu and has to be avoided at all costs.
