Pitru Dosha is considered a significant aspect in astrology that manifests when a person feels the influence of negative actions, dissatisfaction, or unfinished duties related to ancestors. The assessment of Pitru Dosha is based on the position of planets in the natal chart. However, if a person does not have information about their natal chart, potential signs of this condition can be examined through the lens of Vastu Shastra.
According to Vastu Shastra, the southwest direction is considered the direction of ancestors. This sector of the house is associated with the earth element and symbolizes family stability, roots, and ancestral influence. Therefore, it is crucial that this part of the house is balanced and orderly.
If there are constant defects, erosion, pits, or improper construction in the southwest part of the house, it can affect the stability and atmosphere in the family. Such problems can manifest as obstacles to children's marriage, relationship difficulties, or infertility.
To maintain the blessings of ancestors and preserve a positive atmosphere in the home, the southwest direction should be kept clean, sturdy, and organized. Instead of storing unnecessary items in this area, it is recommended to neatly place heavy and useful objects.
Absence of pits in the southwest
Since the southwest is associated with the earth element, lowering or sinking of the soil in this area is considered unacceptable from a Vastu perspective. Any pits, drilling, or systems related to underground water in this part of the house are considered Vastu defects. Similarly, if a septic tank or another structure is built here that weakens or frees up this part of the land, it should be checked from a Vastu standpoint.
It is desirable for the floor in this direction to be slightly higher compared to other parts of the house. If the southwest is lower, it disrupts the stability of the earth element, so special attention must be paid to the level of this area during construction.
In the southwest direction, it is strictly forbidden to use large amounts of black, blue, and green colors, as they are not considered favorable for the energy of this zone. Instead, soft colors that promote stability and correspond to the earth element, such as yellow, pink, and white, should be used.
