Anurag, a government contractor, was thriving in his business. He was winning bids, securing contracts, and had built a solid reputation among government officials. As his business grew, the old office felt too cramped. Seeking expansion, Anurag decided to move into a bigger space.
Although not a firm believer in vastu, a few discussions with peers and YouTube videos convinced him to rent a north-facing office. It seemed like the perfect decision — a modern glass-walled office with a beautiful view. But things quickly began to unravel.
Within three months, Anurag started losing projects. Securing new contracts became increasingly difficult. Support from government officials dwindled, and soon, he was served notices from the IT department. His once-thriving business felt like it was falling apart. Confused, he reached out to me, wondering if it was his fate or something in the office causing the downfall.
Upon reviewing his office and home plans, it was clear: the issue wasn’t fate; it was the vastu of his office. While he thought he had rented a north-facing office, the entrance was actually positioned towards the northwest (NNW) — a direction linked to support and relationships. This misalignment was the root cause of the tension and obstacles he was facing in his business.
In addition:
- His desk was in the southeast, linked to the fire element, which was making him appear aggressive in communication — damaging relationships, particularly with government officials.
- Outside, a huge red-painted wall in the northwest amplified negative energy, further damaging his ability to retain support.
Given that it was a rented space, structural changes weren’t possible, but there were still solutions. I recommended:
- Using metal foil sheets to adjust the entrance energy and bring it into alignment.
- Shifting his desk to a position that would allow him to stay calm and communicate more effectively.
- Adding creepers and greenery to neutralize the aggressive energy from the red wall.
Within just three weeks, Anurag began noticing a change. His peers treated him with more respect, the project he lost was reassigned to him, and new contracts started rolling in. Government officials who had previously distanced themselves now invited him over for dinner. His business stabilized, and everything began falling back into place.
This case is a proof that vastu is not just about aesthetics; it’s about aligning the energy of our spaces to support the goals and relationships that matter most.
