Diwali means something new for a fresh start, prosperity, and joy. This lovely time is all for a fresh start and inviting good fortune to our doors. To best utilise this sacred day, Vastu expert Archana Goyal shares with you the top methods in Vastu, Astrology, Numerology, Tarot, and Lo Shu Grid. These methods energise your house and make you full of harmony, peace, and positivity.
What is Vastu Shastra?
Vastu Shastra is part of an ancient Indian technique on how one should align living space with nature. These principles guide the design of houses to welcome health, happiness, and prosperity. On Diwali, following the Vastu practices, there will be plenty of positive energy around your home, and it will appear more balanced and harmonious.
Purify Your Space
Clean out your space: This is the first step in a vibrant Diwali. Vastu tells you that cleaning away clutter removes negative energy and makes way for positivity to flow in.
●Tip: Clean with salt water; it’s one of the most natural ways to rid your home of negative vibes. Move at least 21 items about a few inches-this simple shift of energy can refresh your home’s aura.
Make It a Welcoming Entrance
Entrance: It is the gateway of energy flow into your home. An entrance properly done invites positivity and prosperity.
●Tip: Marigold flowers and Ashoka leaves that attract divine energies are decorated on doorways to welcome prosperity inside your home. Vibrant rangoli made of natural materials welcome prosperity into your home.
Lighting Focus
Light is all about Diwali. Victory of light over darkness will be all the more reiterate if you lit up every nook and corner of your house.
●TIP: Install 21 diyas in the southeast corner of your house. This is where prosperity lies, and placing diyas here is the most effortless way to welcome prosperity. Soft glow from diyas brightens the energy of your house that spreads warmth and joy.
Prepare Your Puja Area
Puja: It is the puja area that forms the heart of any Diwali celebration. A clean and beautifully decorated puja space enhances the flow of positive energy.
●Tip: Place idols of deities facing east or north. Decorate with fresh flowers and light incense sticks and keep the area free from clutter so that calmness and serenity creep in.
Vastu Tips Specific to Diwali Celebrations
Archana Goyal shares a couple of more specific ceremonies that can build auspicious vibrational currents in your home:
Akash Kona or Prosperity Corner
As per Vastu, it is the southeast direction that constitutes a wealth and prosperity zone. Activate it to invite financial prosperity.
●Tip: Place nine raw pieces of turmeric (kachi haldi) or strands of saffron in a golden cloth bag. This is an effortless ceremony that is believed to invite luck and financial blessings.
Play Harmonious Sounds
Sound can positively influence energy. Playing soothing sounds or mantras in the northeast corner of your house can raise the vibrational frequency of that room.
●Tip: Play Gayatri Mantra or instrumental music softly in this corner. This can remove bad energy and make a place peaceful and positive.
Floral Arrangements
There are places where fresh flowers can easily be added in order to enhance energy fluxes within a home.
●Tip: Keep an Urli-a shallow bowl filled with water and flowers- to the north. This is a very simple process; it is believed to aid in ushering in prosperity and abundance.
Astrology and Numerology Tips
Archana Goyal suggests that introducing Vastu along with astrology and numerology during Diwali will make you align even better with good energies.
Auspicious Dates
For Lakshmi Puja and Diwali, timing is essential. Astrology will guide you in time selection for the most auspicious day and time.
●Tip: This time, Pradosh Kaal, between 5:36 PM and 8:11 PM, would work as a good time for Lakshmi Puja. An astrologer consultation with a personalised auspicious time will add even more benefits.
Numerology for Decorations and Gift
Every number has its vibration with it, which changes the outcomes. You may use numerology to pick up numbers that you can use for decoration or gifts or even the number of diyas you light.
●Tip: Use numbers related to prosperity, like eight or nine, with your decorations or gifts. This little use of numerology will create positive vibes for Diwali.
Using Tarot Cards for Guidance during Diwali
Tarot can guide you into insights about personal things, show you the best options for the new year, and help you make them.
Clarity through Tarot
On the way to a tarot reading, one gains clarity over intentions, finances, or relationships. This sets the intent as one moves forward.
●Tip: See a tarot reader to get some specific input on your questions. Tarot readings help clarify things in your life and help you make good, confident decisions about what’s going on and what energies are present.
Lo Shu Grid for More Power
Lo Shu Grid is one of the oldest Chinese tools in Feng Shui that will complement your work in Vastu. Here, you will be mapping the energy layout of your home.
Use the Lo Shu Grid to Map Your Space
This grid can also highlight the areas connected to prosperity, health, and relationships. The energies may be activated through these areas with the help of proper elements or colours.
●Tip: Applying the colour green over this southeast corner or placing a plant will induce more prosperity here. Implement all these small changes over Diwali for the best effects.
Acts of Kindness
Diwali is also a time for giving, and acts of kindness empower positive energies to generate not only good fortune for the giver but also a very positive receptacle for the receiver.
Spread Good Fortune
As you give during Diwali, so does your home by creating good karma and sending good thoughts and energy into the world. A simple gesture, such as handing out sweets or other gifts, contributes to happiness for everyone but also raises the energy at home.
●Tip: Give someone 51 diyas, meaning you want to brighten up the life of a bright person. An act like that of charity multiplies your blessings and brings harmony to you in return.
