πΏ Bathroom & Toilet Vastu: The Secret Flow of Your Home
Imagine your house is like a human body. Just like our body needs to remove waste to stay healthy, your home needs the right places to let go of used water and waste. Letβs discover where these special rooms should be!
π The Big Idea: Water is Like Energy
Think of water like a river flowing through your house. When the river flows the right way, everything feels fresh and happy. When it flows the wrong way, things get muddy and stuck.
Your bathroom and toilet are like the drain of a sink β they help remove what you donβt need anymore!
π Bathroom Placement
Where Should Your Bathroom Live?
Imagine your house has 8 directions, like a compass. Some spots are perfect for bathrooms, and some spots are big no-nos!
graph TD A["π Your House"] --> B["β BEST: Northwest"] A --> C["β GOOD: East"] A --> D["β οΈ OK: West"] A --> E["β AVOID: Northeast"] A --> F["β AVOID: Southwest"]
β Best Spots for Bathrooms
| Direction | Why Itβs Good |
|---|---|
| Northwest | Wind carries away bad energy β like opening a window! |
| East | Morning sun kills germs and keeps it fresh |
| West | Okay, but not the best |
β Spots to Avoid
| Direction | Why Itβs Bad |
|---|---|
| Northeast | This is the βheadβ of your house β keep it pure! |
| Southwest | This is the βstrength cornerβ β water weakens it |
| Center | The heart of your home β never put waste here! |
π― Simple Example
Good: The Kumar family put their bathroom in the northwest corner. Their home feels fresh, and morning routines are smooth!
Bad: The Sharma family had their bathroom in the northeast. They always felt tired and things kept breaking. When they moved it to the northwest, life improved!
π½ Toilet Placement
The Throne Needs a Proper Place!
The toilet is where we let go of what our body doesnβt need. In Vastu, this βletting goβ spot is very important.
graph TD A["π½ Toilet Rules"] --> B["Face North or South when sitting"] A --> C["Never face East while sitting"] A --> D["Keep 1-2 feet from walls"] A --> E["Door should not face kitchen"]
π― The Golden Rules
-
Which Way to Face?
- β Face North or South when sitting
- β Never face East (sun rises there β show respect!)
- β Never face West (opposite of sun)
-
Where in the Room?
- Best spot: West or Northwest side of the bathroom
- Keep toilet 1-2 feet away from walls
-
Door Direction
- Toilet door should open to East or North
- Never let toilet be visible from kitchen or dining
π― Simple Example
Think of it like this: Would you eat your dinner while looking at garbage? No! So keep your toilet hidden from where you cook and eat.
π³οΈ Septic Tank Placement
The Underground Helper
The septic tank is like a stomach underground β it breaks down waste. Where you put this βstomachβ matters a lot!
graph TD A["π³οΈ Septic Tank"] --> B["β BEST: Northwest"] A --> C["β GOOD: North of Northwest"] A --> D["β NEVER: Northeast"] A --> E["β NEVER: Southwest"] A --> F["β NEVER: Center"]
β Perfect Spots for Septic Tank
| Location | Why |
|---|---|
| Northwest | Air element helps decompose waste |
| North of Northwest | Second best option |
| West of Northwest | Also acceptable |
β Never Put Septic Tank Here
| Location | What Goes Wrong |
|---|---|
| Northeast | Blocks positive energy entering home |
| Southwest | Weakens the stability of your home |
| Center | Like having stomach ache all the time! |
| Under stairs | Blocks growth and progress |
π Distance Matters
- Keep septic tank at least 2 feet away from the main building
- Lower than the ground level of the house
- Never touch the compound wall
π― Simple Example
Imagine this: Your septic tank is like where you throw away leftovers. If you put the trash can right at your front door (northeast), guests would smell it first! Put it near the back exit (northwest) instead.
π§ Water Drainage Direction
Let the Water Flow Away Properly!
Water in your home should flow like a river β always heading in one direction. The wrong flow is like trying to paddle upstream!
graph TD A["π§ Water Flow"] --> B["Best: Northeast to Southwest slope"] A --> C["Good: East to West flow"] A --> D["Good: North to South flow"] A --> E["Exit: East or North side"]
π― The Simple Rule
Water should exit from East or North side of your plot
Think of your house sitting on a gentle hill:
- Northeast = highest point (where clean energy enters)
- Southwest = slightly lower (where energy settles)
- Water flows from high to low, cleaning as it goes
β Good Drainage Flow
| From | To | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Northeast | Southwest | Natural energy flow |
| East | West | Follows sunβs path |
| North | South | Good for stability |
β Bad Drainage (Avoid!)
| Flow | Problem |
|---|---|
| Southwest to Northeast | Brings problems back into home |
| South to North | Blocks prosperity |
| Stagnant water anywhere | Attracts negative energy |
π° Outlet Positions
Water should leave your property from:
- β East side β Best!
- β North side β Very good
- β Northeast corner β Excellent for rainwater
- β Southwest β Never let water exit here!
π― Simple Example
Picture this: Your bathroom is a bathtub. When you pull the plug, water should swirl toward the east or north. If it went the wrong way, the tub would overflow!
The Patel family had water draining toward the southwest. They always had money troubles. After fixing the drainage to flow northeast-to-southwest with an exit in the east, their finances improved!
π Quick Summary: The 4 Big Rules

|---|---|---|
| Bathroom | Northwest, East | Northeast, Southwest, Center |
| Toilet Seat | Face North/South | Face East/West |

- π Family members feel healthier
- π° Money flows more easily
- π Less arguments at home
- π Better sleep for everyone
