In Vastu Shastra, the direction your house faces affects energy flow, health, and prosperity. This house-facing Vastu guide helps you pick your main entrance direction and get a full, direction-specific plan: main door placement (padas), room-wise tips, and simple remedies.
Select your main entrance or house-facing direction below to open the full Vastu guide for that direction.
House facing direction is the direction you face when you step out of your main entrance door. In Vastu, this is often called the "mouth" of the house—the main channel for cosmic and earthly energy. Each of the eight directions (north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-west, west, north-west) is linked to different elements, planets, and effects on health, wealth, and relationships. So whether you have a north facing house, east facing house, south facing house, or west facing house, the right Vastu plan for that direction can support balance and well-being.
No single direction is "bad" in Vastu—each can work when the layout is correct. Room placement, main door position (including the right pada on that side), and remedies matter as much as the facing. Use the direction links above to open the guide for your house facing and get room-wise Vastu tips and main door advice.
Every guide in this house-facing Vastu series covers the same structure so you can plan your home clearly:
To know your house facing direction, stand at your main entrance door and step outside. The direction you are facing when you look straight ahead is your house facing. You can use a compass (or a smartphone compass app) at the main door to get the exact degree—0° is north, 90° is east, 180° is south, and 270° is west.
The eight Vastu directions and their approximate degree ranges are:

In traditional Vastu, north and east facing houses are often considered most favourable—north is linked to wealth (Kubera) and east to the sun and vitality. North-east facing is also highly regarded. South, west, and the other directions are not "bad"; they need correct room placement, main door pada, and sometimes remedies to work well.
