Stop Chasing Money—Let It Flow to You by Fixing the ‘Water Element’ in Your Home.

Do you often feel that money slips through your fingers? You might be earning a decent income, your business model is solid, or your trading strategies are technically sound, yet by the end of the month, the bank balance remains stagnant. Or worse, just as a large payment is about to arrive, an unexpected expense cancels it out.

If you are working hard but your financial growth has hit an invisible glass ceiling, the problem might not be your effort. It might be your “Inlet Pipe.”

In Vastu Shastra, your home is treated like a living organism. Just as the mouth takes in food, specific zones in your house are responsible for “taking in” opportunities and wealth. The most critical of these is the North Zone.

If this zone is blocked, cluttered, or elementally imbalanced, you are effectively pinching the hose of prosperity. No matter how much pressure (effort) you apply, the flow will remain a trickle.

This guide will decode the secrets of the North Zone (Kuber Sthan) and provide you with actionable, non-destructive remedies to turn your home into a money magnet.

The Divine Logic: Why North Controls Money

To understand the remedy, we must first understand the root. In the Vastu Purusha Mandala, the North direction is known as Udichi. It is not just a compass point; it is a gateway for magnetic energies flowing from the North Pole.

This zone is governed by two powerful cosmic forces:

1. The Deity: Lord Kuber Lord Kuber is the “Treasurer of the Gods” (Dhanapati). Unlike Goddess Lakshmi, who represents the luck of wealth, Kuber represents the custody and accumulation of material assets. He is the guardian of the treasury.Sanskrit Verse: उत्तरस्यां दिशि कुबेरः स्थितः, स एव धनाधिपः। (Uttarasyam dishi Kuberah sthitah, sa eva dhanadhipah) Meaning: “In the Northern direction resides Kuber; he alone is the Lord of Wealth.”
2. The Planet: Mercury (Budh) In Vedic Astrology, the North is ruled by the planet Mercury. Mercury governs intellect (Budhi), communication, trade, commerce, and liquid cash. When the North is balanced, your financial decision-making becomes sharp, and your business communication leads to conversions.

When the North is defective, you don’t just lose money; you lose the clarity to make money.

Diagnosis: Is Your North Zone Blocked? (The Checklist)

Before we apply remedies, look at your North Zone right now. Walk to the Northern part of your house (use a compass on your phone if needed). Do you see any of these “Wealth Blockers”?

1. The Anti-Elements (Fire and Earth)

The North represents the Water Element (Jala).

• The Kitchen (Fire): If you have a kitchen in the North, you have created a “Fire in Water” conflict. This literally “burns” your opportunities. It often leads to money being spent on medical emergencies or impulsive losses.
• Heavy Storage (Earth): The North needs to be light and flowing (like water). If you have piled up heavy boxes, metal trunks, or huge stone statues here, you are blocking the flow. This represents the “Earth” element, which absorbs and blocks water.

2. The Wrong Colors

Colors are powerful elemental activators.

• Red, Orange, Pink: These are Fire colors. Painting the North wall red is one of the fastest ways to destroy financial liquidity.
• Yellow: This is the Earth color. While good for stability in the South-West, in the North, it blocks new money from coming in.

3. The “Flush” of Wealth

The most severe defect is a Toilet in the North. A toilet’s function is to dispose of waste. When placed in the zone of Kuber, it symbolically and energetically “flushes away” opportunities. People with this defect often find that deals collapse at the final negotiation stage.

The 5-Step Activation Plan (Actionable Remedies)

You do not need to tear down your house to fix these issues. Vastu Shastra provides potent, symbolic remedies to balance energies.

Step 1: The Color Therapy (Blue & Green)

To activate the Water element, you must use colors associated with water and vegetation (growth).

• Action: Paint the North wall a shade of Light Blue or very light Mint Green.
• Alternative: If you cannot paint, use blue curtains, a blue rug, or hang a piece of art that is predominantly blue.
• Effect: This stabilizes the zone and invites the cooling, flowing energy of opportunity.

Step 2: The Water Element (Motion is Key)

Water attracts Water. To simulate the flow of cash, you need moving water.

• Action: Place a small electric Water Fountain in the North zone.
• Critical Rule: Ensure the water flows towards the inside of the house, not towards the door/window. This symbolizes wealth coming in.
• Alternative: A simple glass bowl filled with fresh water and blue glass pebbles works too (change the water daily).

Step 3: The Mirror Multiplier

In Vastu, mirrors are used to extend space.

• Action: Place a mirror on the North wall.
• Logic: This visually “extends” the North zone, creating an illusion of infinite depth. It symbolically “doubles” the opportunities entering your life.

Step 4: The Kuber Spot (The Safe)

If you have a cash box, jewelry safe, or important financial documents, their placement matters.

• Action: Place your locker in the South or South-West zone, but ensure the door of the locker opens towards the North.
• Logic: When you open the locker, it should “look” at Lord Kuber in the North to get replenished. Never have a locker opening towards the South (the zone of Yama/Death/Expense).

Step 5: The Money Plant (Mercury’s Favorite)

Plants represent growth and the Air element (which supports Water).

• Action: Place a lush, green Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum) in a Blue Glass Bottle or vase in the North.
• The Secret: Use a blue bottle. Blue (Water) nourishes Green (Plant/Mercury). This combination specifically targets “commercial success” and trading profits.

Case Study: The Trader Who Stopped Losing Money

Note: Client names are changed for privacy.

The Client: Rajesh, a cryptocurrency and stock market trader. The Problem: Rajesh was technically proficient. He knew his charts, understood market sentiment, and had a solid risk management strategy. Yet, for six months, he was barely breaking even. Every time he made a profit, a sudden “stop-loss” hunt or a tech glitch would wipe it out. He felt anxious and “blocked.”

The Vastu Audit: Upon analyzing his home office, we found that his desk faced North (which is good), but directly in front of him, on the North wall, was a red dustbin and a chaotic pile of old courier boxes and newspapers.

The Diagnosis:

1. Red Dustbin: Fire element (Red) and waste (Dustbin) in the zone of Money (North). He was literally “trashing” his liquidity.
2. Clutter: The pile of newspapers represented blocked Mercury—information overload leading to confusion (“Analysis Paralysis”).

The Remedy:

1. We immediately removed the red dustbin and placed a blue metallic bin in the South-South-East (zone of disposal).
2. We cleared the clutter entirely.
3. We hung a painting of a flowing river (with no mountains blocking the flow) on the North wall.

The Result: Within 21 days, Rajesh reported a significant drop in anxiety. His trade execution became calmer. He stopped “revenge trading” after losses, and by the next quarter, his portfolio was up by 18%—a flow that had previously been blocked.

What to Do If You Can’t Fix It? (Specific Cures)

If you live in an apartment where you cannot move the toilet or kitchen, use these “Elemental Blockers”:

For a Toilet in the North:

• You cannot stop the toilet from flushing, but you can block its negative energy field.
• Remedy: Place a Blue Adhesive Tape or a generic Aluminum Strip on the floor around the base of the WC (toilet commode). This cuts off the toilet’s energy from the rest of the house’s North zone.

For a Kitchen in the North:

• You need to cool down the Fire.
• Remedy: Place a slab of Green Baroda Stone (or green marble) under the gas stove burner. The green stone acts as a neutralizer between the Fire of the stove and the Water of the North zone.

Money is energy. In Sanskrit, it is often called Lakshmi Chanchala—wealth is moving/fickle. To keep it, you don’t just need to chase it; you need to build a reservoir where it likes to stay.

Start small. Go to your North wall today. If you see Red, remove it. If you see clutter, clear it. If it’s dark, light it up.

Next Step: Are you planning a major financial move or buying a new property? Don’t leave your luck to chance. Send me your floor plan for a quick “Wealth Check.”
