The East direction symbolizes life as the sun rises from this direction and is said to bring positive energy into your home. That is why, east facing houses are the second most preferred houses (first one being north oriented ones) by most of the people.

But, unlike the popular belief, the East facing property may not be very auspicious, if it is not constructed as per the guidelines of vastu shastra. Therefore, simply having an East facing house is not sufficient enough to consider it favorable.

However, there are certain benefits of having an East facing house which can’t be denied. One of the most important reasons why east and north facing houses are considered more vastu compliant is that the placement of each and every room in their proper vastu zones is a lot easier in an east or north facing house than a south or west oriented house.

So, it’s the placement of the main entrance and location of all the rooms that has to be taken into consideration while making a vastu compliant house.

WHAT IS AN EAST FACING HOUSE?

 

It is the very first step to identify the house orientation in order to make it vastu compliant. As per the vastu shastra ‘the facing of a house’ refers to the direction in which the main entrance of a house is located. So, if you are facing East direction while stepping out of the main entrance, it will be considered an East facing house.

 

 

The direction of the main entrance of your house is an important consideration. It is the main entrance from where the cosmic energy enters into a house which plays a vital role in the lives of the occupants of that house.

The following things must correspond to the vastu principles for an auspicious East facing house–

 

• Main Entrance location
• 16 Vastu Zones and location of the Rooms
• Placement of the Various Objects and balance of the Five Elements in our living space

 

There are some very important vastu principles that need to be carefully followed in order to make your house vastu compliant. 

 

FINDING THE DIRECTION OF THE HOUSE–

 

Finding the facing of your house is extremely important as a difference of even 3-4 degrees will make the entire calculation of 16 vastu zones inaccurate and then it will be difficult for you to find out the root cause of the problems. (Here is the full article link - @FindingTheDirectionofYourHouse)

Finding the accurate facing of the house is not a rocket science. All you need to do is to follow these steps:

 

• First of all, stand outside of the main entrance of your house with house at your back and the compass in your hand. Stand with your back parallel to the house.
• Hold the compass flat (horizontally) on your palm in front of your chest.
• Now, let the compass needle (usually a red or green colored orienting arrow) float freely until the zero degree mark on the compass and the North end of the needle are aligned. It will determine the magnetic North.
• After confirming the magnetic North, write down the direction which you are facing.
• You will now have an accurate facing.

 

While Using A Compass, Make Sure To Remember The Following:

 

• Remove all the magnetic objects around the compass
• Remove all jewellery on hands
• Hold the compass at waist level
• In order to determine the accurate direction, take at least 3-4 readings in and outside the property and confirm the one which you get the maximum number of times.

 

THE PLACEMENT OF MAIN DOOR/ENTRANCE–

 

The main entrance of the house holds a very important place in the vastu. It connects a home to the cosmic consciousness. Since it is the main entry point for the cosmic energy into any building, it plays a vital role in the lives of the inhabitants of that building.

According to vastu shastra there are 32 gates out of which 9 gates are considered very auspicious and 2 out of these 9 gates are located in the East direction.

The main entrance of any East facing house should be located in the following Padas (gates)-

 

• E3 or Jayanta (67.5° - 79°)
• E4 or Indra (79° - 90°)

 

 

As you can see in the picture, we have highlighted the most beneficial gates in the green color for an East facing house. (More on Main Gate Vastu - @MainGateVastu)
