Vastu and Astrology
Understanding traditional Vastu patterns through horoscope analysis, planetary influences, houses, directions and the relationship between the dweller and the built environment.
Vastu Rules in Horoscope Analysis
Vastu and Astrology can be studied together through a traditional Astro-Vastu approach. A horoscope may be examined for planetary and house patterns that are associated with particular characteristics of the property, its directions and its environment.
Astroshastra presents a set of basic rules for interpreting a horoscope in Vastu terms. These rules provide a framework through which the horoscope of the dweller can be compared with characteristics observed in the Vastu of the property.
According to the original Astroshastra material, experienced astrologers can also derive more subtle Vastu-related rules by following the same logical pattern.
