44. Can I Buy a West Facing Plot Which Has a Water Canal in Front of it?

West direction is called in different Languages:

This is an animation image, prepared only for your kind information and easy understanding purpose. Here one house with a compound wall is showing and one moving hand indicating the Northwest to Southwest area. This part is called as West direction of a house or a plot.

Displayed here are "House 1" and "House 2," both facing west. We request your undivided attention to closely examine both images. "House-1" has extended towards the road, while "House-2" aligns parallel to to the road. As a result of this extension, "House-1" is adversely affected by the Southern Southwest street focus and the Northern Northwest street focus, which is highly undesirable.

It's important to note that such encroachments by some residents, possibly due to a lack of awareness, can have detrimental effects on their lives. Hence, it's crucial for west facing homes to avoid encroaching upon roads.

It's now easier to grasp the concepts of Northern Northwest Street Focus and Southern Southwest Street Focus when a property extends towards the West road. The arrows, marked in red, are there to aid your comprehension. This arrangement ensures that when "House-1" encroaches upon the road, "House-2" remains protected from the Northern Northwest focus.

This is also a west facing home. There are no houses to the north or south of this home. In such situations, this west-facing house is more likely to be affected by the northwest and south street thrust, indeed, there are no such focuses and the house built within its limitations. Actually the road in front of the house to the west and the "adjacent land" (red arrows area) also exhibit the influence of the roadway and passing the focus effects on this home.

For centuries, experts have cautioned against purchasing west facing homes due to potential adverse conditions like this. Their general advice does not have these explanations. Normally, their advice may stem from a lack of awareness about specific details, a reluctance to provide thorough explanations, or the absence of an opportunity to discuss these issues in detail within a limited timeframe.

Homes facing west like this may built outside of a village, town, city, often encounter huge problems. Additionally, if something like a factory is constructed on the outskirts, owners frequently suffer immense pain and are likely to face significant financial losses. A small mistake could lead to a lifetime of misery. A minor error can profoundly affect one's life. However, taking precautions can lead to a smoother life. Planting trees in the northwest and southwest areas of such homes can offer considerable relief.

Observe this home. East open space is more than double of West open space. The homeowners kept many stones at the backyard i.e., at east direction. Please note that we should not hold the stones, a heap of stones, waste materials, stock items, garbage, store materials, keeping such materials makes residents life more troubled, for example, loss of wealth, mental stress, the absence of peace of mind, troubles to the kids, strain, and fame loss, etc.

The immeasurable idea here is, removing all these unusable material and keep at Southwest corner or upstairs southwest portion areas, or sell them or through them etc.

If a house is surrounded by large mountain rocks, hillocks, or mounds towards West direction as depicted in this image, it could enhance overall happiness. Positioning boulders in the Western direction can positively impact health, lifestyle, livelihood, reputation, societal respect, quality of life, dominance over adversaries, and many more.

If the west side of the house that we are building is sunken, the occupants of that house will always face some problems one after another. They may not enjoy their life in such homes. They may always face one after other problems, most serious issues. Financial losses, severe health issues, threatening to life, increasing enemies' power, or bow head before enemies, backbone issues, life become morass, etc.

In this image the home constructed on the flat land. The Western land slopes deep slanting. In most of cases this kind of homes may trouble the residents. If any resident looking to buy such homes, then without experts opinion do not buy, please be tolerance and get a word from experts before taking any decision. If a resident compromises today, every day they should compromise in their life.

a. Let's examine into the details of Shree Rajesh Ji's Home (House Number 2 in this image). Now, let's take a look at this image: house number "1" is the Northern neighbor, "1A" is the mother-in-law's house, house number "2" is Rajesh's home, house number 3 is the Southern neighbor, and house number 4 is another home. Homes 3 and 4 are accessible from a road to the south, whereas homes 1 and 2 have access from the east. We will explore this configuration further.

It is often said by many Vastu experts that homes facing the West are considered less favorable, with a strong preference for those facing North or East. However, looking at numerous examples in the USA, such as this home in Phoenix, we see a different story. Narendra, who purchased this home in 2015, has led a prosperous life, subsequently buying two more investment homes.

The focus here isn't on who provided Vastu advice to him or who Narendra is, but rather on the effectiveness of West-facing homes. Notably, the significant open space to the East, as shown in the image, contributed greatly to his happiness and success in this residence.

This image provides simple Vastu guidelines for water flow sources in a West-facing house. The house is next to a West road, with multiple water outlets or drains placed along the front. The green check marks indicate the most suitable spots, while the red crosses highlight areas to avoid. According to Vastu, placing a water source or outlet in the West of Northwest brings prosperity, peace, and good health. This placement helps balance energy and supports financial stability.

However, positioning drains or water exits in the West of Southwest is unfavorable, as it may lead to financial losses, health issues, and instability. To maintain a positive energy flow, it is important to place water outlets thoughtfully. The center area, marked with green and red indicators, suggests consulting an experienced people before directing fresh or used water from this section. Poor placement can disturb the energy balance and cause unwanted effects.

If an professional is unavailable and there is no other option except the West or West of Southwest, the West direction is a more suitable alternative. Correctly placing water sources ensures a harmonious and prosperous living space.
