Connection between Vastu & Numerology

Is Vastu shastra and numerology are interrelated? What is the Vastu direction and the planet ruling number? Vastu shastra, Vedic astrology and numerology are three dedicated ancient sciences but have a deep intrinsic relationship with each other. Every direction in vastu is governed by a particular planet which is ruled by its underlying number and color combination.

The four major directions of east, west, north and south are governed by sun, Saturn, mercury and mars respectively. According to numerology each planet has its ruling number which signifies the planet lord of that direction.

Sun for example is governed by the ruling number 1. Mercury signifying the northern direction has a ruling number 5 while Mars and Saturn relating to South and western directions have ruling numbers 9 and 8 respectively. Just like the four major direction, the other four essential directional coordinates (North east, North west, South East and South West) are also ruled by various planets which are governed by their ruling numbers respectively.

North eastern direction is associated with Jupiter or Ketu which is the south node of the moon. Jupiter is represented by the ruling number 3 while Ketu has a ruling number of 7. South eastern direction is associated with Venus which has a ruling number 6. North West and South west directions are ruled by Moon and Rahu (north node of the moon) respectively. The ruling numbers for moon is 2 and the number 4 represents Rahu.

Using Correlation between Vastu Shastra and Numerology Effectively

There is no denying the fact that ancient Vedic science of vastu shastra, astrology and numerology has a definite correlation.

Simply using numerology or vastu shastra in isolation can be beneficial but can be even more prudent when applied together. Since vastu shastra places emphasis on direction and numerology gives the underlying ruling number, vastu and numerology can be effectively used together.

Vastu principles can be applied according to the plot number or house number. Rather than completely demolishing the constructed building to make it more vastu complaint, small changes can be made to make it aptly balanced.

While vastu shastra gives us information about our lucky directions that can aid in positive energy, numerology gives us the numbers behind those directions which obviously bring more luck and prosperity to the residents of any particular household.
