Buying a house is often one of life’s biggest milestones. While many people focus on budget, location and home layouts, some also look at the property's energy and direction before footing in.

According to Vastu expert Divvya Chhabra, a few Vastu tips homebuyers may consider when choosing a house. The way a home is positioned and designed can influence the overall energy of the space.

  • Too much blue in the house may affect emotions

Vedic astrologer Divvya Chhabra explains that having too much blue colour inside a home may influence emotional balance. Blue represents the water element, and when it dominates a space, it may lead to an overflow of emotions.

This could cause people to make decisions emotionally rather than practically, as the environment subtly shapes mood and mindset, according to Divya.

  • The direction of your water purifier may matter

In Vastu beliefs, flowing water is symbolically linked with the flow of money. Because of this, the astrologer suggests placing the purifier in the north or north-east direction of the kitchen, which are directions traditionally associated with prosperity and positive energy.

  • Mirrors in the dining area may influence abundance

According to the astrologer, a mirror in the dining room can symbolically reflect abundance. However, she shares that this works only when the dining room is located in the north, north-east, or east direction of the house. If the dining area faces south or south-east, placing a mirror there is generally discouraged in Vastu.

  • Cracks in the house should not be ignored

Another important point raised in the video is about cracks in walls or ceilings. The astrologer suggests that cracks in a home may symbolically represent financial leakage or instability.
