What the North-West means in Vastu

In Vastu Shastra, the North-West is the air zone (Vayu). It governs movement, change and support from others, which suits guests, storage of things in flux and drainage. Its element is air and its presiding deity is Vayu.

Bathrooms and toilets carry water and waste out of the home, so Vastu places them where outflow is natural and keeps them away from sacred and stable zones.

Why a bathroom here works
