🧭 Is a South Facing House Really Inauspicious? Myths, Truth & Vastu Guidance
When people hear the term “South Facing House,” it often sparks fear and confusion. Many believe that such homes bring financial loss, health problems, or constant stress. But is this really true?
In this blog, I’ll clear all the myths and misconceptions about South-facing homes. I’ll also explain the logic behind these beliefs, and how you can actually make a South-facing home lucky and successful — with proper Vastu.
🔍 What Does “South Facing” House Actually Mean?
To find out if your house is South-facing, stand in the center of your home and check the direction you’re facing when looking at the main entrance. If it’s exactly 180°, then your home is considered South Facing.
But here’s the most important detail:
Where your entrance (main door) is located in the South direction makes all the difference.
✅ When is a South Facing Home Lucky?
If your entrance falls slightly before 180°, then it is considered auspicious and lucky. Such South-facing homes have shown to bring wealth, success, and fame to many people — especially when chosen wisely and with the right Vastu remedies in place.
In fact, many successful business owners and professionals live in well-aligned South-facing homes that bring them great results.
⚠️ When is a South Facing Home Problematic?
The real trouble begins when your main entrance comes after 180°. According to Vastu:
- This zone belongs to Yama (the God of death)
- It affects male or working members of the family severely
- It can increase risks of accidents, illness, or chronic stress
- You may face debts, financial downfall, or stagnation
- Problems may even affect future generations
So, even a few degrees of wrong alignment (after 180°) can bring major Vastu imbalances and difficulties.
🏠 Inside Matters Too: Internal Vastu of a South-Facing Home
Even if your entrance is correct, problems can still arise if the internal design isn’t Vastu-compliant. For example:
- If the South zone is open (like an open terrace or open backyard), it can lead to arguments and family disputes
- Couples may face relationship issues or separation
- Wrong room placement often leads to disharmony and mental stress
This happens because most architectural designs for South-facing homes are done without Vastu balance, creating negative energy zones unknowingly.
🎯 What Should You Do?
If you’re planning to buy or live in a South-facing house:
- Always consult an experienced Vastu Consultant
- Get the exact degrees (angle) of your entrance checked
- Understand where your kitchen, bedroom, and temple should be
- Don’t rely on general myths — rely on technical direction accuracy
Even a 2–4 degree difference can completely change the results of your home’s energy!
