North facing home madness!! I have been there.

Lets learn to balance it and enjoy the home.


All directions are favorable and equally auspicious since it has a unique quality of the direction associated with it. We are destined to make certain choices due to our planetary positions which influences the certain placements of rooms in the house. We do not like any homes by accident, they are meant to be for us due to various reasons which might be our horoscope and planetary position. Unlike early days when two to three generations spend their life time in the same house, these days due to various reasons, opportunities and nuclear families people have started travelling and also moving out so we end up spending our lives in an average of about 11 different homes during our life time. Every time we go to a new house there might be a similar pattern observed in the placements of certain rooms but according to planetary influence on our horoscope it might vary. Preference to choose a home with the Vedic vastu guidance the most preferred direction is North followed by East, then comes West and last to be considered is the South is the basic thumb rule, but it is much beyond this.


Considering our life as 100% of everything put together of which the house we choose to live through our life time contributes for about 25% which is the vastu/home, destiny contributes to 25%, our thought pattern, the way we think or how strongly we believe in certain things and positive approach in life adds another 25%, and lastly our good deeds and karma makes for rest 25%. That’s how we conclude this vicious circle by making the best use of all the tools to help us avail the benefits of this knowledge by being aware and making better choices to create a happy and meaningful life.


North facing homes are simply preferred because it is one of the most calm, favorable and easy to fix direction in every aspect provided it is balanced.

  • Let’s also understand that when there is a toilet located in the North-east of the North facing home there are more adverse side effects than other directions.

  • Another common observation is kitchen being in the North in the North facing homes is also critical.

  • In addition, when the house is facing North direction with 2 car garages, it takes away this zone of the house and reduces the possibility of getting the most benefits due to the clutter, storage and dustbins being placed in the garage area.

  • When we talk of houses in US and Canada it also depends which side of North is the main door, rarely is the main entrance of the houses exactly from central zone of North, unless they are 5000 sq.ft homes. Most of the times it either is towards the Northeast or Northwest direction so understanding the exact location of the main door is very important while having specific requirements and getting professional help from an expert in the field is the best solution for best results. When we do it by reading books and other resources we might overlook a lot of other minute details to be considered which can definitely be observed by an expert.

  • Choosing a house based on vedic vastu guidance is a combination of various factor that go into finalizing a home. When we look at homes in Toronto, Canada the prices of homes here are appreciated quite often leaving us with very less choice for multiple options on homes while buying a homes. Another choice to consider here is to custom build our own house with the required floor plan option designed as per vastu guidance and lastly doing remediation without structural change and creating a balanced energy in the house with simple solutions when there no other possibility.

  • Balance your North direction of the house by adding small plants and add greens in this space. Keep it clean, clutter free, minimal furniture, open to energy and energized with love. Block the gas area with green mat under the stove on the floor. Demarcation of the toilet with tapping technique to reduce it negative effects, but there is no fix for the toilet located in this zone which has been used over an extended period. Spa salt in a small bowl is a must in the kitchen and toilet to neutralize the elemental imbalance and change it weekly.

  • It totally depends on the floor plan and how well are all directions utilized. Just North facing home cannot be the only determining the factor for the paying premium prices for the lot as observed in most South Asian families. Instead balancing a home is a better solution.
