Never underestimate the power of the sun on your home. It stands for light, truth, cosmic intelligence and pure consciousness. As far as your home is concerned, the sun is connected to the east since solar pranas flow from that direction.
Maintaining harmony and a favourable cosmic energy in your home is important. The position of the sun greatly influences the balance of energy that prevails in the house. Therefore, it is essential you take into consideration certain factors when constructing a home or placing furniture in a room.
The Power Rays
The sun remains Utrayana from the December 22 till June 20. For the rest of the year, it is in the Dakshinayana position. It is not advisable to construct a home which blocks the rays of the sun. In the science of Vastu Mandala, it is important the different rooms in the house benefit from the different positions of the sun. Here are ways the energy in your home is balance with the different positions of the sun:
It is believed that any source of water, like a well or even a tubewell, should be on the East and North sides of the house. This is to ensure that ultraviolet rays of the morning sun kill the germs in the water, thereby purifying it before use. Therefore, when the source of your water is in the right position, you will benefit by getting clean drinking water.
The Right Position
The position of the sun and the energy of the kitchen need to be balanced out – like a good dinner with fine wine. Most astrologers believe that the kitchen platform should be on the eastern side so that the sun’s rays fall directly on it. The morning rays of the sun will destroy germs which may have gathered on the kitchen counter. This will prevent food from getting spoiled. This apart, if you spend a lot of your time in the kitchen, you will benefit from the direct rays of the sun. Legend has it that earlier, women would not leave the house; therefore, the sun’s rays on them were their only direct contact with it.
As far as windows are concerned, there should be a few on the western and southern sides of the house. Thick walls will reduce hear. Windows on the northern and eastern parts of the house are necessary to allow sunlight to penetrate.
The rooms in the house that are not used regularly, like toilets and storerooms, among other, should be on the western side as they tend to heat up when in direct contact with the sun. These rooms also protect the other rooms from heating up. Therefore, your home remains moisture and germ-free.

Finding the Right Balance
The sun dominates the window on the right of the main entrance, seen from inside the house. Therefore, the meditation room and medicine cupboard is usually in direct contact with the sun. If your windows are facing not facing the east, solar life energy will be restricted. If this happens, your home will suffer from a severe lack of life energy. However, it should be noted that the male members will be affected the most. This is because east is a male direction. The men of the house will be exposed to increased risk of heart and circular system problems. This is because the debilitated sun will have a negative impact on the body’s organs.
However, if there is a Vastu defect in the south west direction of the house, like an underground swimming pool, the Vastu defects grow on each other, thus exposing the men to a high risk of cardiac arrest.

The Correct Balance
There are ways by which you can correct this defect, if it does exist. If there are no windows in the eastern part of the house, make the effort to work with objects that stand out as symbols of the sun’s energy. Placing images of the rising sun may serve your purpose. A ruby can be placed in the east of the house.
You could also paint the wall a fiery red or a mix of orange, red and yellow. This could create a symbol of the sun in the house. However, one of the most effective techniques would be to place a Sun Yantra at a place devoid of windows. A yantra is a graphic symbol which represents the sun’s energy.
Harnessing the energy of the sun to maintain life energy in the house is essential to ensure the health of its inhabitants. May the Sun God be ever in your favour!
