The Northeast direction, known as Ishan Kon, is governed by the Water element and presided over by Lord Shiva. In Vastu Shastra, this direction is the entry point for positive cosmic energy. However, modern architecture often creates a Northeast Vastu Dosh, which can disrupt the home’s overall energy flow.
The “Big Three” That Create Northeast Vastu Dosh
- Toilet in Northeast: This is the most severe Ishan Kon Vastu Defect. According to Vastu-Shastra. Since the Northeast is for purity, a toilet here drains away the home’s prosperity and can lead to chronic health issues.
- Kitchen in Northeast: Placing a fire element (stove) in a water zone creates an energetic clash. This often leads to heated arguments among family members and unexpected expenses.
- Staircase or Heavy Storage: The Northeast should always be light and open. Heavy construction here “crushes” the residents’ luck, leading to stagnation in career growth.
Symptoms of Northeast Vastu Dosh
If your home has these defects, you might notice:
- Constant mental stress or “brain fog.”
- Legal disputes or sudden financial losses.
- Deferment and lack of clarity in decision-making.
How to Fix Northeast Vastu Dosh (Defects)
As such, structural changes are best; you can mitigate the negative effects with these Northeast Vastu remedies:
- Toilet in North East Vastu Dosh: Place a bowl of sea salt inside the toilet and keep the door closed all times. “Gems Therapy” is the extreme remedy for this dosh.
- Kitchens in Northeast: If you cannot move the stove, place a Yellow Marble stone under the Gas Stove. This is one of the kitchens in Northeast Vastu Remedies to balance the fire and water elements.
- For Cuts/Missing Corners: Use mirrors on the North or East walls to create a “virtual” extension of the corner.
- Enhancing Energy: Keep this corner clutter-free and place a small water fountain or a bowl of fresh water with flower petals to invite positive vibrations.
Pro-Tip: Always paint the Northeast area with Light shades of Blue, White and Silver. Avoid dark colors like Red or Black in this zone.
