Vastu Room Placement Checker
Choose a room and the zone it sits in (use the Vastu compass to find the zone). The checker gives the traditional verdict, the reason, the zones that suit the room better, and what else belongs in that zone.
Guide
What this tool does
Every room has zones where the tradition likes it and zones where it does not: fire in the fire corner, weight in the earth corner, water in the water corner, movement in the air corner. This checker takes a room and the zone it sits in and gives the traditional verdict with its reason, the zones that suit the room best, and the other rooms that belong or do not belong in that zone.
How to use it
- Choose the room.
- Choose the zone it sits in, found from the centre of the home with the Vastu compass.
- Read the verdict, the reason and the better zones.

How to read your result
A verdict is the tradition's placement rule stated plainly. Well placed needs nothing; acceptable is fine; traditionally avoided is where a Vastu practitioner would look first, and what they suggest depends on the house. Nothing here is a cause of events, and the site sells no remedies.
