There are some important points related to the Vastu of a Plot.

1. Shape of the Plot 

2. Slope of the Plot 
3. Soil Quality 
4. Angle of the Plot 
5. Roads to the Plot 
6. Junction Plots 
7. Surroundings of the Plot 

Shape of the Plot 

Vastu For House 

When  you  see  a  road  on  the  north  side  from  your  entrance  is  a  North  Facing  House.  It 
has  to  be  perpendicular  to  your  entrance.  The  North  Facing  Plot  will  be  directly 
connected  to  the  Children  in  the  house.  Though  it  is  very  good  for  any  type  of 
constructions,  due  care  is  required  while deciding the structural design as the magnetic 
forces  of  the  earth  are  generated  from  the  North  Pole.  There  are  few  Specialties  of  a 
North  Facing  House.  North  is  a  Water  element.  Water  resembles  Wealth.  So  it  creates 
wealthy  and  healthy  vibrations and ensures prosperity of the people living in these north 
facing plots and grounds. 
  

Auspicious/Inauspicious Shapes:- 
  

The  basic  idea  behind  the  selection  of  plot  is  the  shape  and  angle  .Following  points 
should be kept in mind for the shape. 

● The shape should be such that there must be only four corners in a Plot. 
● The corners should have the angle of 90 degrees. 
● The ratio of Length : Breadth in a rectangular Plot should not exceed 1:2 
● The direction of East West should be 90 degrees. Slight deviation of 10-15 
degrees is acceptable 
● Extended Plots 
● Though Plots with 90 degrees are best. But plot with extension in certain 
direction has proven good results. 
● Plot on “T” Junction should be avoided. 
● Plots at dead end should be avoided. 

Extended Plots 
Though  Plots  with  90  degrees  are  best.  But  plot  with  extension  in  certain  direction  has 
proven good results.

Plot with extension in East of Northeast​– ​Good 

L-Shaped or Cut or Extended Plots 

L-Shaped  or  cut  or  extended  plots  are  not  good  at  all  as  extension  in  one  side  leads  to 
cut  in  the  other  side.  So,  good  results  are  always coupled with some bad results also. L 
shaped Plots will always have one side extended with one side cut. 

1.  East  of  Southeast  Cut  or  ​Extended-  It 

leads to Court Cases, Women’s health issues.

are the cases with its results:- 

1. Three side Roads of the Plot:- If there is Road on the three sides of the 
Plot then:- 
● Road on North, West and South is Normal provided entry is not made from 
South side. 
● Road on North, West and East is good. 
● Road on North, South and East is also good if entry is from North or East. 
● Road on South, East and West is Normal. 
2. Four sides Road of a Plot are rarely found but it is the best and has very 
auspicious results. 
3. Two side Road of a Plot:- 
● Roads on North and East are best. 
● Roads on North and West are Normal. 
● Roads on North and South are Normal if the Entry is from North. 
● Roads on East and South are Normal if the Entry is from East. 
● Roads on East and West are Normal. 
● Roads on South and West are not good. 
4. One side Road :- 
● Road on North is Very Good 
● Road on East is Very Good 
● Road on west is Normal 
● Road on South is Worst- Avoid it. 

Slope to the plot 

Slope of the Plot is also very important while selecting a Plot.

Surrounding of the plot 

Surroundings of the Plot are also important while purchasing the Plot:- 

a.  Plot,  on  which  lots  of  Trees  and  Plants  are  there,  is  good.  But  Plot  having  Bamboo 
Trees should be acquired with great care. 

b.  If  river or canal is on the East side of the Plot and is flowing from South to East then it 

is good Plot. 

c.  If  the  river  or  canal  is  on  Northern  side  of  the  Plot  and  is  flowing  from  West  to  East, 
then it is good. 

d. River or canal on South or West of the plot is not good. 

e.  Hill,  Hillocks,  High  land,  Heavy  objects  on  the South, West & South-West of the Plot is 

good whereas on East, North and North-East is bad. 

f.  Plot  adjacent  to  or  near  to  any  graveyard,  cemetery,  temple,  mosque, tomb etc. is not 
good at all. 

g.  Many  other  factors  are  also  there  which  cannot  be  mentioned  there.  So,  if  you  are 
planning  to  buy  a  Plot,  its  better  to  first  consult  a  Vastu  Expert.  However,  above 
mentioned points are enough to protect you from buying a complete negative Plot. 
Direction of the plot

The most important factor before choosing a land is its direction. While you plan to purchase a
plot, prefer North-facing direction as it is considered highly auspicious. East and west facing
plots can also be considered, however, south facing land should be completely avoided.

In addition to direction, type of the soil is also important. Rashmi Jain, Vastu Consultant,
Gurgaon avers, “Usually, land covered with lush greenery or agriculturally fertile lands are
considered good for habitation, assuring growth and success. Corner plots are perfect for home
construction as they bring happiness and prosperity. Plots bordered by roads from all directions
are considered excellent for commercial constructions but not for residential purpose.”

Shape and size of the plot

Ideal shapes for residential plot are square or rectangular which are narrower at the entrance
and wider at its rear. However, its opposite is a big “No”. Round, oval, triangular and L-shaped
plots should be avoided. It is imperative to check the corners of the land as well, a plot with a
cut in the north-east corner is ominous as it is like a headless body, informs Jain.

vastu tips for residential plot

Uniformity of the plot

A flat land should be preferred for residential construction. However, if there are slants then
plots with north-east or south-west slopes should be considered as they are extremely
propitious.

Westward slopes should be avoided as they lead to health problems and incongruity among
family members. One should also watch out for a valley around the plot or depression on the
land as they are believed to be inauspicious. Besides, avoid purchasing the plot that is situated
between two large plots as it symbolises poverty.

Location of the plot

Avoid buying residential plots near cemetery or hospitals as they are storehouses of negative
energies and infections. Any obstruction like bridge, electric pole, hill or a building in the north
and east side should be avoided, as it blocks sunlight, however, anything in the west and south
can be compromised as it impedes entry of negative energies.

Similarly, water body located on the southwest side of the plot should be avoided as it implies
misery. Whereas if the plot has a lake or river nearby that flows in the north-east direction, then
it is a good sign and the land can be purchased for residential development.
