Uncover the benefits of living in a south-facing home and how to maximize them
Download Article
In Vastu Shastra, the ancient Hindu system of holy architecture, south-facing homes are notorious for their bad luck and difficult-to-balance energy. But this notoriety isn’t well earned—south-facing homes simply have a lot of energy, which means you must be careful about how you set up your living space. The good news is that if you are thoughtful, all of that energy will feed into a productive and happy home. We’ll show you how.
Things You Should Know
- In Vastu Shastra, south-facing homes are ruled by Mars and Lord Yama. These homes are bright and full of plenty of holy energy and strength.
- South-facing homes get the most natural sun, which is ideal if you like gardening and want plenty of warm light flowing through your home.
- Use neutral-colored curtains, furniture, and holy symbols to divert energy away from any rooms that feel chaotic.

Key Takeaways
-
South-facing homes contain a lot of energy. Of the four cardinal directions, south-facing homes probably convey the most spiritual liveliness. This makes these homes ideal for people who work in high-paced industries and people with a lot of passion and energy.
-
Plan your home’s layout carefully. Set the bedrooms on the western side of the home and the kitchen and dining area on the eastern side. This way, you’ll balance the flow of energy as it cycles through your home.
-
Don’t assume south-facing homes are always bad luck. No house is automatically inauspicious. A lot of the myths surrounding south-facing homes come from the fact that Lord Yama rules over the south. While Lord Yama is the Hindu God of death, they’re also the God of law, order, and justice.
