At some stage or the other we would have experienced a situation where a child runs to parents with a little complaint or a different situation he or she felt today during his interaction with others. In that scenario the child is looking in you as the ‘figurehead’ , who can help him resolve all his / her situations. He asumes his / her parents are at the raised padestal, who can solve the problems and lead him / her into the correct direction.

This position for an individual is provided in SouthWest direction.

Southwest or Nairritya is considered the seat of power and commanding position. This direction is supposed to be highest and heaviest made of strong thick stone walls with minimum openings. This is the most private and secure area suitable for the head of the family or an office, who in the present scenario is the person who is earning and contributing the maximum amount to the comfortable running of the household. Since this is a heavy and closed private area, the head of the family can store his earnings and savings in a vault or safe in the southwest direction. Similar logic is well applicable to ‘Head’ of an organization also.

Southwest is a very earthy direction, full of tamasic energy which is the cause of inertia or practicality which is more required for correct decision making capabilities. If we sit with our back towards Southwest and face Northeast for positivity we get, the strength and backing of our ancestral blessings and energies thus giving us the commanding position. Placing a rose near the place of sitting will give right amount of energy and vigour required to be in similar leadership positions.

If there is a natural hillock, mound, a huge tree or even a highrise building in Southwest then this is lucky for the inhabitants. Landscaping with with rocks can also recommended in Southwest. People with inconsistent minds, with watety signs ruling their pshych in their horoscope are unable to take strong decisions. They need to sit for some time during the day in a rock garden constructed in the Southwest sector of their Vaastu, this can add strength to his mental faculties.

In door plants in Southwest can be planted in heavy concrete planters and the vegetations can be also of the thick and heavy type. Thick hedges and dense vines are recommended on the Southwest walls. If you want to activate Southwest as too much of tamas accumulation can be detrimental, then place a water body or fountain but at a height above three feet on raised platforms. This is specially recommended for commercial Vaastus.

Lord Ganesha’s statue in this position will bring all the goodness in the world.
