11 Vastu Mistakes Most People Don’t Realise They’re Making

Vastu Mandir

Vastu issues rarely show up as dramatic defects.
More often, they hide in everyday choices—furniture placement, object selection, lighting, emotional energy, even the way certain corners are used.

These small, unintentional mistakes slowly affect:
– peace
– clarity
– sleep
– relationships
– financial movement
– overall emotional balance

Most families don’t realise the root cause is Vastu misalignment… because everything looks normal.

Here are the 11 most common hidden mistakes—and simple non-demolition remedies to fix them.

 


 

1. Heavy Objects in the North-East (NE)

Why it’s a mistake:
NE is the mind, clarity and spiritual direction.
Heavy furniture or storage suffocates mental space.

Common symptoms:
– overthinking
– confusion
– lack of inspiration
– feeling mentally “blocked”

Fix:
– Remove heavy items
– Add Selenite or Clear Quartz
– Keep NE bright, empty, peaceful

Vastu Mandir: Selenite Bowl, Clear Quartz Tower.

 


 

2. Fire–Water Clash in the Kitchen

A sink next to the stove, water purifier in SE, or blue/black décor in the kitchen creates elemental conflict.

Impact:
– financial instability
– irritability
– loss of motivation

Fix:
Place a Copper Strip or Steel Strip between water & fire.

Vastu Mandir: Copper Strip, Steel Strip.

 


 

3. Mirrors in the South-West (SW)

SW is the stability zone. Mirrors create movement and restlessness here.

Impact:
– unstable relationships
– shaky financial planning
– emotional ups and downs

Fix:
– Replace mirror or cover it
– Add Brass idol or Rose Quartz

Vastu Mandir: Brass Deer, Brass Nandi, Rose Quartz Bowl.

 


 

4. Entrance Not Energised or Protected

A dull entrance blocks opportunities.

Impact:
– delays in career
– missed chances
– slow financial movement

Fix:
– Add Brass Surya (East wall)
– Keep the area bright
– Add Clear Quartz or a Selenite bowl

 


 

5. Stagnant Corners Ignored for Months

Corners store emotional residue, especially NE, NW, and under-stair areas.

Impact:
– mood heaviness
– stress
– stagnant money flow

Fix:
– Place Selenite in corners
– Use Amethyst or Clear Quartz

 


 

6. Wrong Metal in the Wrong Direction

Metals regulate zoning. Using them incorrectly disturbs energy.

Examples:
– Brass in North → blocks career
– Steel in SW → weakens stability
– Copper in North → causes anxiety

Correct metals:
– North → Steel
– SE → Copper
– SW → Brass
– NW → Aluminium

7. Emotional Clutter Stored in Key Directions

Old photographs, expired items, past documents carry emotional residue.

Stored in wrong directions, they disturb zones.

Examples:
– Emotional clutter in NE → mental heaviness
– Emotional clutter in SW → unstable relationships
– Emotional clutter in North → career stagnation

Fix:
– Declutter
– Add Selenite, Amethyst, or Rose Quartz

 


 

8. Toilets Not Neutralised Energetically

Toilets in wrong directions (NE, NW, SE, North) create emotional and financial imbalances.

Fix:
– Place Selenite Plate outside toilet door
– Add Aluminium/Steel Strip
– Keep diffuser with calming oils

Vastu Mandir: Selenite Plate, Aroma Oils.

 


 

9. Underlit Homes (Low Prana Flow)

Dim homes (especially with yellow, warm light) lower prana energy.

Impact:
– low motivation
– heaviness
– unclear thinking

Fix:
– Use cool-neutral light (4800–5200K)
– Add Clear Quartz or Citrine in poorly lit corners

 


 

10. Wrong Colors in Key Directions

Colors activate or disturb zones.

Examples:
– Red in North → career fear
– Blue in SE → money stuck
– Grey/black in SW → emotional weakness

Fix:
Use neutral shades and correct directional enhancers.
Crystals do this effectively without repainting.

 


 

11. Keeping Broken or Unused Items in Wealth Zones

Broken items represent stuck energy.

Wealth zones: North + South-East + North-East.

Impact:
– money slows
– opportunities delay
– business decisions suffer

Fix:
– Remove broken items
– Place Citrine, Clear Quartz or Brass idols
