Northwest Facing House Vastu Tips And Remedies

Who is The Presiding Deity of Northwest Direction?

The presiding deity of the Northwest direction is Vayu – the God of Wind. He is depicted with one face and two hands, holding a golden stick and a divine flag in his right hand. His consort is commonly known as Svasti or Bharati (citation needed).

2. His left hand is shown in a gesture of blessing, symbolizing life and vitality.

3. Vayu is known for being "powerful and heroic," and also as a "fighter and destroyer." He is referred to by other names like Pavan, Anil, Vyān, Tanun, and Vāta. His realm is called Pawanloka, representing the world of wind.

4. The mantra "Om Vayave Namaha" is used to invoke Vayu, the Lord of Air. His weapon is the Goad, and his mount is the Deer (Gazelle), symbolizing speed and agility.

5. The Deer is known for its swiftness and ability to escape danger, symbolizing the mind's quick, unpredictable nature.

6. By controlling our minds properly, we can avoid challenges and overcome difficulties, just as the deer escapes from predators.

7. The ruling planet of the Northwest direction is the Moon, which influences emotions and the mind, in line with the characteristics of air and movement.

8. The Moon and air are both unstable and ever-changing, just like the movements of the deer. This instability can make it vulnerable, just as our mind becomes vulnerable to external influences if not controlled.

9. Vayu, being the God of Wind, is swift and constantly in motion. The Moon's waxing and waning nature also influences emotions and thoughts, affecting men and women equally. This direction, often referred to as the "Air Direction," has a strong influence on the mental state.

10. For this reason, those living in Northwest-facing homes need to be cautious to avoid potential instability in their lives. It is strongly recommended to consult an expert before purchasing or constructing a Northwest-facing house or NW facing plot.

11. Vastu experts often advise using the Northwest room as a guest room, a daughter’s room, or even a kitchen, as these areas align well with the energy of this direction.

12. A defect in the Northwest can lead to financial instability, particularly for businesspeople. Even minor Vastu defects in this direction can cause significant issues such as mental stress, financial losses, and insolvency. Many cases of financial ruin have been attributed to defects in the Northwest.

13. Vayu, the Lord of Wind, is powerful and can bring both good and bad results depending on how the Northwest is utilized. This direction also plays an important role in the lives of women, especially regarding childbirth and child development, as it is closely linked to nurturing and growth.

14. Residents of homes with a properly constructed Northwest direction may experience fame, intellectual advancements, and prosperity. Vayu is believed to assist in fetal development and can help ensure a smooth delivery. However, defects in this direction can lead to issues such as frequent miscarriages and other health complications for women.

15. According to Hindu mythology, Vayu is responsible for carrying the six energy drops (foetus) of Lord Shiva to a sacred pond, which later formed Lord Karthik with six faces. This indicates Vayu’s role in the development of embryos in women.

16. If the Northwest direction is extended, it can lead to frequent travel or instability for the residents, as the energy of the space promotes movement.

17. Extending the Northwest corner can also shorten the Northeast (Brahmasthan), which is highly inauspicious in Vastu. (This information is sourced from www.subhavaastu.com). This imbalance can cause hardships, forcing residents to leave their homes (home vastu), migrate to other locations, and incur uncontrollable expenses, often leading to debt.

18. If the Northwest contains a pit, pond, well, or other such depressions, it can result in further complications. Women in the household may become argumentative, and legal disputes or litigation could arise. It is crucial to maintain balance and properly utilize this direction.

19. When the Northwest is well-planned and controlled, the residents are blessed with prosperity, happiness, and healthy offspring.

20. Additionally, residents may enjoy a longer life, good health, dignity, and support from government authorities. It is highly recommended to consult the best Vastu consultant during the plot selection or house planning stages. A proper house plan will ensure that the Northwest, being a sensitive direction, is utilized correctly. Business owners, in particular, should take all necessary precautions when selecting a plot or constructing a house in this direction.

Something Which May Not Be Commonly Identified In Society

There are many kinds of Northwest blocks. Out of which some are best and some are worst. Now we are discussing good NW house along with some street focus information.

West Road Halted And North Road Passing:

In Northwest block properties this house is good. One should be cautious when dealing with Northwest facing properties, this is a critical direction to make it set right, even many vastu experts also do not have thoughtful knowledge how to deal with these Northwest facing homes vastu. Observe this below image.

North Road Ended and West Road Passing:

North Road Passing and Homes Occupied In The North Direction

So, we should note that there are many variations in any direction of houses. We should not come to one decision of any home by knowing of its facing. Based on many concerns, and neighborhood Vastu effects, we have to finalize.

North Road Passing and Northwest Vacant Plot

Please note that based on all different surroundings information only we have to come to this calculation.

For example, isthere is an apartment at West direction to Krishna House then negative results from this "Vacant Place" decrease or may not operate fast.

That is why from the commencement of our consultation we are requesting our visitors please go through examine your properties with one Vastu expert before buying the property or constructing the house.

Now check the adverse results.

If the vacant site filled with any structure, then Gurunath gets relief or this is the perfect remedy, he can expect good results.

Please note that if the surroundings structure is like this way, please keep pending of constructing the house. Better to immediately search for one expert Vasthu pandit, he will decide once he visited the site or observed everything through online.

If you would like to buy this property, our recommendation is, don't buy this property without proper competent Vastu Pandit recommendation. Sometimes this vacant place would become and act as a street focus to your property and leads to court litigation, fall into debts, and mental worries or particularly financial losses, some times may be observed robbery, fire accidents, loss of male progeny etc.

Northwest Corner Homes

Now coming to the point that here this house is a common Northwest block property and North and West roads are not moving forward and stopped at one corner next to this House. This is a common property, no serious and no need to worry at all. It augurs a bit more than the Northwest-west road running block which we discussed above. Best to obtain one expert opinion before buying any NW plot or house.

Northwest Corner Half Circle Homes

Generally, avoid buying the Northwest corner blocks, this point belongs to Indian properties, not for properties which are located in USA, UK, Australia and Singapore etc. You are aware that Northwest facing homes are different and Northwest direction homes are different.

Vastu for Northwest facing homes is different in USA, UK, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland etc. Yes. In USA the Northwest facing plots does not had the same facing homes or homes may be tilted. The construction system and style is different in USA, UK, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand etc when compare with India.

Extension towards North direction:

Extension towards West direction:

Northwest Narrow Structure:

Northwest Wide Structure:

Our honest suggestion is don't play with your life by saving a few dollars for vastu consultancy. Northwest direction vastu homes are not easy to surmise for vastu evaluation.

We cannot speculate facts of this property over a phone call.

Please note that we came across some homes which are Northwest facing homes in USA which are giving unbelievable good results. Because of home skewed construction.

So we should not compare all properties with one rule. The difference will be clearly visible when we carefully observe the homes in USA, UK, Australia and in India too.

Some residents looking for Vastu tips in selecting the home/site, the best idea is before buying the plot, please check it with one expert.

Many of us are used to get free advice from priests and the like. We have scant regard for such knowledge output. We think Vastu science is an astrological occult parasite. This is The tragedy.

Unfortunately, apart from being occult science, yet it is profoundly sane and yields to logical thinking. It is not a parasite to be dismissed with contempt.

This being the case many people do not want to spend quality time with a vastu consultant. Much less pay him too. These few lines are to educate such confirmed ignorant people.

People are prepared to invest their life time savings for a dwelling unit. At times the amount may run into crores.

Because of their prejudiced mindset, they are not prepared to invest even a few thousand rupees and get the plot evaluated by a vastu expert.

Often, people are ruined by their own foolishness and nothing else. Vastu is a medicine given to a person to fight ailments, even before the attack of the ailment. It is best treated as insurance or preventive vaccination.

It is this preventive secret (it is equivalent to vaccination) that people failed to understand only because of their contempt and prejudices. Kindly be adviced and guard yourself against your own ignorance.

Can a Defect in the Extended Northwest Be Mitigated With a Wooden Trellis?

Hi, we are facing ongoing financial difficulties, with one problem after another arising. Every time we resolve an issue, another one comes up, and we’re struggling to deal with these challenges. After reading your article, we realized that an extension in the North of Northwest could worsen financial troubles. Our home has an extension in the North of Northwest, and we currently cannot build a permanent wall. We are considering a temporary solution. Could you please advise us on how to address this issue? - Sumathi - Dallas.

We understand your situation, and it seems that constructing a permanent structure to address the North of Northwest extension is not possible at the moment. In the future, you may consider a permanent solution. For now, as a temporary fix, you can install a wooden trellis or a cattle panel to offset the North of Northwest extension. This could help reduce your financial difficulties, and later you can plan for a more permanent solution. In the attached image, you can see the wooden trellis, and it's recommended that you encourage the growth of creepers on it. This setup should help neutralize the North of Northwest issue.
