"Lord Yamraj, the God of death, governs the south and our sleep is like a short death. Also the planet Saturn that stands for darkness and peace, governs the west," explains Dr. Prem Kumar Sharma, Astrologer and Vaastu Expert who has written a number of books on the subjects.

Dr. Smita Narang, CEO of Heed Vastu World, says that the kids should sleep in the northeast direction because of the positive vibrations is this region. The east is governed by the sun, which symbolises energy and creativity. Your kids should never sleep in the southwest direction. You don't want them to boss over you.

Avoid placing mirrors around your bedroom and least of all in front of your bed. You should never see the reflection of your legs. If you must have mirrors in the bedroom, place them on the north or east walls.

Invite Wealth

The cupboard is the place where you store all your valuables. Place it in the southwest region of the room so that its doors open towards the northeast. Ajay Gautam says that this invites Lord Kuber, the God of wealth who governs the north.

The windows of your house should open towards the northeast for the same reason.

Sit Pretty

For your living room, choose furniture that is oval or square in shape. Always place your furniture in such a way that it is open towards the northeast.

Complete your hall with a lovely water fountain placed in the northeast direction. This will bring in wealth and the blessings of Lord Shiva.

Say a L'il Prayer

The pooja room must always be in the northeast region of your home, whether it is a part of the living room or bedroom.

"If you choose to keep idols then you must place food offerings before the idol in the morning as well as in the evening," says Dr. Prem Kumar Sharma.
