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.

The master bedroom belongs to the head of the household, so Vastu puts it in the most stable, grounded zone of the home to support rest, authority and the couple’s relationship.

Why a master bedroom here is a concern

North-West's air energy suits guests better than the household's primary bedroom, and can bring a sense of transience.
