Vastu tips for surroundings of plots

Plots should not be in close proximity to temples as people (followers and visitors) bring in a lot of negative energies, which could also flow inside your home.
There should not be a huge tree around your plot, as removing it would be very unlucky and you would have to ask for the government’s permission to remove it.
The power pole should not be in the north-east corner of the plot as this is the place for water.
Plots should have the entrance in the north or eastern direction. If the plot has an entrance in the southern direction, consult your local priest.

Remedies for Vastu defects

If you have bought a plot of irregular shape, you can divide it into two regular plots by separating it through compound walls.
Create a shop or garage on the south-west side if the plot has an extended portion in this direction. If the plot has an extension on the north-east side, construct a small temple and plan a garden, if the extension is in the north, the east or the north-east side.
You can also use Vastu pyramids to nullify the impact of plot extensions in different directions. For instance, a lead pyramid can be used in the south-west extension or a brass pyramid in the north-west extension. Similarly, copper strips are ideal for the south-east extension.
