BENEFITS OF CHOOSING NORTH FACE PLOT
The Significance of North-Facing House Vastu
Before understanding the various aspects of the same, lets first understand what it is mean by north facing house vastu, as many people gets confused regarding it. They assume it to be the direction in which the main road is located with respect to the house. However, it is completely incorrect. In proper terms, the direction in which you face while going out through the main door, is the direction that your home is facing. So, if you move out in north direction while leaving from main entrance, you have a north facing house vastu. A south, east or west facing vastu works in same way.
Even having such positive aspects associated with it, a north facing house is not necessarily suitable for everyone. It depends on the needs of the people living in it, along with their profession and/or their zodiac signs. As per vastu experts, north facing properties have been found most perfect for the people owing their business or being involved in financial services as their profession. Apart from people belonging to the financial sectors, north facing house vastu are good for people working in printing and publishing sectors, as north direction is also associated with the planet mercury. Also, north direction represents the element water, and thus can lead to prosperity for the people associated with media and entertainment industry
It is extremely favourable to stay in a house that faces North because the main entrance faces kuber (Lord of wealth)’s direction in the north.
Nave Vastu Shastra, the north direction is related to the water element and Neptune. Therefore, many people associate the houses that face north with wealth, prosperity, and chances that come into people’s lives. Further, this orientation enables the incorporation of adequate natural light and a cool breeze to energise everyone in the house.
From the functional perspective, the house facing the north gets pretty good sunlight throughout the day and therefore is suitable for the living room, bedroom, and others. This makes there is enough natural light to create a warm and welcoming environment in the house. Also, there is adequate lighting, and the flow of fresh air is facilitated to enhance the quality of the indoor climate.
