What the West means in Vastu

In Vastu Shastra, the West is a metal zone ruled by Varuna. It governs gains and the results of your efforts, and is a steady, workable zone for most rooms. Its element is metal and its presiding deity is Varuna.

The living room is where the family gathers and guests are received, so Vastu looks for light, open zones that support good conversation and a welcoming feel.
