If problems arise in marital life that could lead to divorce, you should check the southwest direction of the house. According to Vastu, the northwest direction provokes relationship problems, while the southwest leads them to a breakup.
If family life is proceeding normally, it is possible that one of the family members is involved in legal disputes with brothers or other relatives.
Imbalances in construction, color, height, or use in any direction can negatively affect corresponding areas of life. Special attention should be paid to the northwest and southwest directions. A defect in the northwest intensifies tension and disagreements in relationships, whereas a defect in the southwest can lead to more serious consequences.
The southwest direction belongs to the earth element and symbolizes stability in life. The presence of a Vastu defect in this zone signifies major upheavals in life. This occurs if a toilet, kitchen, or green, black, or blue colors are located or used in the southwest. The southwest is considered the zone of home stability, so no actions or constructions contradicting the nature of this direction according to Vastu should take place there. Building structures such as a toilet and kitchen in this zone can create a Vastu defect. Similarly, using green, black, or blue shades in this area is also not recommended from a Vastu perspective.
A Vastu defect in the northwest worsens relationships among family members. In the northwest, defects are created by kitchens, toilets, as well as red, orange, pink, or green colors. If there is a defect in the northwest, disagreements and misunderstandings may grow not only between spouses but also among other family members. Sometimes disputes are not limited to one person and gradually begin to affect the overall atmosphere in the family. Therefore, if minor quarrels constantly occur in the family, this direction must also be checked.
It is very good if the floor in the earth element direction is slightly raised relative to other parts of the house; otherwise, it should be on the same level. Meanwhile, the northwest zone can be slightly lower. However, the southwest must either be raised or be on the same level as all other parts of the house. To maintain stability in the southwest, its floor must not be lower than the other parts of the house. If possible, the level of this zone should be slightly higher than that of the other parts of the house.
In Vastu, this direction is considered the earth element, so the emphasis is on maintaining weight and stability. Conversely, the northwest zone can be slightly lower. It is considered necessary to maintain a balance of floor levels in both directions. It is especially important that the southwest part is not lower than the other parts of the house.
