"I was braced for being told to rebuild half the shop. Instead it was mostly moving the billing counter and changing which way I sit."
Vastu Shastra — Practical Guidance for Homes and Businesses
Vastu Shastra is the traditional science of direction, layout and placement. Krishna Astro offers practical Vastu guidance for homes, shops and offices — with an emphasis on what can realistically be changed, not expensive demolition.

What a Vastu Consultation Covers
Vastu Shastra deals with how a building is oriented and arranged: the direction the main entrance faces, where the kitchen and bedrooms sit relative to each other, which corner holds water storage, where heavy furniture and electrical equipment are placed, and how the space is used day to day. For a shop or office it also covers seating direction, the cash or billing position, and the placement of stock.
A consultation begins by understanding the actual property — a floor plan if you have one, or simply a set of photographs and a description of which direction the entrance faces. From there, the assessment identifies what is working, what isn't, and which of the issues are genuinely worth addressing.

Why Most Vastu Fixes Do Not Need Construction
The most common fear people bring to a Vastu consultation is that they'll be told to knock down a wall or move a kitchen. In the large majority of cases that isn't necessary. Repositioning furniture, changing which direction you sit or sleep facing, relocating water storage, adjusting lighting, clearing a blocked corner and correcting the use of a particular room resolve most of what an assessment turns up.
Where something structural genuinely is a concern, you'll be told honestly — along with whatever non-structural measures can reduce the effect if construction isn't realistic for you. Nothing expensive is recommended casually.
Vastu for a Home
Residential consultations usually focus on the entrance, the kitchen, the bedrooms and the placement of water. Sleeping direction is one of the most frequently asked-about details and one of the easiest to correct. Families often get in touch when moving into a new home, when planning a renovation, or after a stretch where things have felt persistently unsettled without an obvious cause.
If you're considering buying or renting a property, a pre-purchase assessment is genuinely useful — it's far easier to choose a suitable place than to correct an unsuitable one afterwards.
Vastu for a Shop, Office or Factory
Commercial consultations look at entrance direction, the owner's or manager's seating position, where the cash counter or billing desk sits, how stock and heavy machinery are arranged, and the direction staff face while working. For retail in particular, the entrance and the billing position tend to matter most.
This often works well alongside a business and career consultation, since the chart-based timing and the physical space are separate questions that frequently come up together.
What to Have Ready, and How to Book
A floor plan is ideal, but plenty of consultations proceed with photographs of each room, a rough sketch, and the compass direction the main entrance faces. A phone compass is accurate enough to start with. For a commercial property, a description of how the space is used through the day helps considerably.
In-person visits are available in Bardoli and Surat where a site assessment would genuinely help. For everywhere else, or where travel isn't practical, the same assessment is done over phone and WhatsApp using your plan and photographs. Call or message to arrange a time — it's also fine to send a few photographs first and decide afterwards whether a full consultation is worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have to break walls or rebuild anything?
In most cases, no. The majority of issues are addressed by repositioning furniture, changing sleeping or seating direction, relocating water storage, and correcting how a room is used. Structural concerns are flagged honestly, along with non-structural measures that can reduce the effect.
What do I need to provide for a Vastu consultation?
A floor plan if you have one, otherwise photographs of each room, a rough sketch, and the compass direction your main entrance faces. A phone compass is accurate enough.
Do you need to visit the property in person?
Not always. In-person visits are available in Bardoli and Surat where a site assessment genuinely helps, but many consultations are completed using a plan and photographs over phone or WhatsApp.
Can you assess a property before I buy or rent it?
Yes, and this is one of the more useful times to consult — choosing a suitable property is far easier than correcting an unsuitable one later.
Is Vastu relevant for a shop or office, not just a home?
Yes. Commercial consultations cover entrance direction, seating position, the cash or billing counter, and stock and machinery placement.
Is Vastu the same as Feng Shui?
No. They're separate traditions from different regions with different principles, though both deal with space and direction. This service follows traditional Vastu Shastra.
How much does a Vastu consultation cost?
This depends on whether it's residential or commercial and whether a site visit is involved. Get in touch and it will be confirmed directly before anything proceeds.
Do I need my birth details for a Vastu consultation?
Not necessarily — Vastu deals with the property. Birth details are useful if you also want the chart-based side considered alongside it.
How long do the suggested changes take to make a difference?
This isn't promised as a fixed timeline. The changes are explained in terms of what they're meant to support, without guarantees attached.
What if I can't make some of the changes suggested?
That's normal and expected. The guidance is prioritised, so you can address what's practical and leave what isn't.
