South Facing House Vastu — The Tips, Rules and Guidelines :-

It is an undeniable fact that South direction is not very favorable while it is also true that South is also beneficial in many respects. The word Dakshin (South) means the direction which gradually weakens an individual. After an intensive research it has become evident that in a vastu with South or South West (Nairutya) entrance, the initial period of five years from the time of completion is of extra ordinary growth in the form of easy money. The flow of wealth may be even through unethical means. The next three years is a period of stagnation. There is neither growth nor decline in the financial conditions. Moreover, this phase also features an increase in wasteful expenditure. But in the subsequent four years, commencing from the eighth year there will be financial losses, down slide in personal life and career. In short, the peculiar feature of the South direction is that at one point of time it will confer unlimited benefits while in a later phase it drains out all the wealth and status. This is the direction where during the period of prosperity a person attains great heights but at a later stage, the individual can even become a pauper. In essence, an individual may crash from riches to rags due to the influence of this direction.

Use of the South direction for the purpose of the bedroom of the head of the family and for storage of heavy items in a residential vastu is advantageous. The height and thickness of the wall in the South direction should be more in comparison with the other directions. This direction should have least number of doors and windows. The quantum and intensity of the infra red rays radiating from the setting sun is very harmful. The penetration of these rays is higher in the South West and South direction. It is therefore ideal if this region is properly enclosed to give protection from these harmful rays. There should be no slope, trench, well or underground water storage in this direction. Otherwise it gives rise to severe vastu defects and its impact on human life is quite grave. It can even lead to sabotage, accidents or untimely death. Financial loss, blockages, indebtedness and other crisis may occur due to vastu defects in the South direction.
