It is believed that Vaastu increases wealth, well being and prosperity if you live in structures that allow positive cosmic forces to be created. The science of architecture teaches us to turn the no manifest energy into manifest material forms by coordinating energy, space, time and material forms. The idea behind this philosophy is that the constructed space has to vibrate with the individual spirit of the dweller. There is a continuous interaction between positive and negative cosmic forces. When we build a home, the structure comes in the way of this interaction. Infact, two of the biggest symbols of Power, the White house and the 10 Downing Street Residence of the British PM, follow principles of Vastu. Both forces enter the home depending upon various factors like door placement, and either the positive or the negative will bear a presence. If the structure is so designed that the positive forces overwhelm the negative forces, there is a release of positive cosmic energy and all the family members will be prosperous, healthy and wealthy. The flipside is, if the negative force overwhelm the positive, then the negative field makes all actions and efforts negative, which may lead to unhappiness, poverty and poor health.

1. The best place for keeping cash is north. The strong room for keeping cash, jewellery, wealth and documents is north of any plot or room. This is the direction of Kuber, the lord of wealth, and therefore it is the best place for keeping wealth.
2. The strong room in the south-east, south-west, north-west and south should be avoided, and the door of the strong room should be in the east or north walls.
3. The almirah containing cash should be placed in a way that it doesn't face the door. A heavy cash almirah should not be kept in the north-east corner. A heavy iron chest or safe maybe kept in the southwest or the northern side of the room and may also be kept in southwest corner of the bedroom so as to face the north.
4. Cash for daily expenses may be kept on a small wooden cabinet in the north.


If the wall of the house in the east is tall, it stalls the entry of prosperity, Goddess Laxmi, into the house. Therefore, it should be small in height.
