Vastu
Sashtra
Shape and size of the plot: The best shapes for
plots of land are square or rectangular, facing squarely on the four cardinal
directions.
It is good if the plot is narrower at the entrance and wider at its rear, but
the opposite is not good.
Round,
oval, and triangular plots should be avoided. The house should not be built in
the shape of a diamond, with the corner facing north. L-shaped plots are also
inauspicious and should not be purchased.
If the land is cut in the corner this is not good. If possible the land to fill in the missing corner should be purchased. If the land is cut short on the northeast side it is very bad and is not
auspicious; do not purchase it. It is like a headless body.
A land tilt of 20 degrees, off square by 20 degrees, is
acceptable. If the plot is rectangular, it is better that the longer sides run
north to south rather than west to east. The best properties are either square
or rectangular. If the plot is not a perfect rectangle, it is best if at least
the southwest and southeast sides of the land are at 90º angles from one
another. The southwest side of the quadrilateral should definitely not be
extended past the southeast side, even if that means giving away a portion of
the plot. Land that extends past the northeast side of the quadrilateral,
however, brings wealth, happiness, and good name. Land extending on the
northeast side is very good. Extensions on any other side are inauspicious.
Extensions of the northwest side will cause you to lose money and peace.
