Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian architectural science, has a lot to say about how energy flows in a space. But let’s be real—half the population has been unintentionally breaking these rules like it’s a ritual of its own. Here’s a look at some common violations that might be sending all the good vibes straight out the window.
The Mirror of Doom
A mirror facing the bed? That’s basically an invitation for restless sleep, weird dreams, and unnecessary drama. According to Vastu, mirrors reflecting the bed amplify negative energy, which is probably why some nights feel like an emotionally charged Bollywood climax.
The Mystery of the South-Facing House
South-facing houses often get side-eye from Vastu experts. Apparently, this direction brings financial instability and unnecessary struggles. But tell that to every homeowner who just liked the view and signed the papers.
The Kitchen-Bathroom Chaos
If the kitchen and bathroom share a wall, congratulations—there’s a Vastu disaster brewing. Fire (kitchen) and water (bathroom) are arch-nemeses, and placing them next to each other is like putting rival Bollywood families in the same wedding hall.
The Bed Placement Blunder
Sleeping with the head pointing north is a big no-no. Supposedly, it disrupts magnetic fields and causes health issues. If that sounds suspiciously like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, well, ancient wisdom had its way of keeping things dramatic.
The Clock That Stopped But Stayed
A broken clock still hanging on the wall? That’s a one-way ticket to stagnation in life. It’s like having an ex’s number still saved—it serves no purpose, but for some reason, it’s still there.
The Shoe Rack at the Entrance
Shoe racks near the main door? Bad energy. Every time someone walks in, they bring outside negativity right into the house. Basically, it’s like rolling out a red carpet for bad vibes.
The Plant Placement Disaster
Cactus and bonsai indoors? That’s practically a metaphor for stunted growth. Vastu experts insist they bring financial troubles and unnecessary tension, which means every aesthetic home décor trend has been low-key messing with destiny.
Breaking these rules unknowingly is pretty common, but at least ignorance has been bliss… until now.
