Understanding the significance of good vastu animals for home is as important as keeping oneself updated on other Vastu requirements, especially if you want or already have a furry member in your family.
Interdependent, animals and humans have always maintained a close relationship with each other. Apart from animal farming, we humans have also maintained this relationship by keeping pets such as cats, dogs, turtles, fish, among others.
As much as our pets are loyal to us and take care of our needs, we too ensure that they are well provided for. And Vastu is something that can help you take care of your pets even better.
According to Vastu, the presence of pets provides wellness, fortune, and prosperity in the home. So, in this article, let’s see some of the important Vastu tips and guidelines that you can follow to ensure your pets’ well-being as well as establish positive and prosperous energy in your safe haven.
The Direction of Your Pet’s Bed
- Always keep your pet’s bed in the East, North, or North-West direction as it is believed that it helps them remain cheerful, happy, and well-behaved. These directions are especially valid for those who have dogs as their pets. They are known to bring positivity into your home. South West and South East directions should not be used to place your pet’s beds as they are known to make the pets unhealthy and restless.
- If you own a bungalow and a dog as your pet, then make sure that you position the dog kennel at the entrance of your house.
- For those who have fish as their pets, make sure that you keep the aquarium in the North-East. This trick would help them maintain a long and healthy life.
- People in India still do not have eagles as their pets as much as people in Dubai, but the best place to keep eagles is in the South-West direction. It is believed that it helps in increasing their vision and their well-known intellectual abilities. Contrary to this, if you keep your eagle in directions that, according to Vastu, are beneficial, they turn out to be lethargic and lazy.
- For the proud turtle owners, keep your turtle’s cozy nest in the North direction as it is considered auspicious in Vastu. This direction is also symbolic of good luck and wealth, keeping in mind that animals are heralds of prosperity.
The Direction of Pet Birds
- For those who have birds as their pets, always keep the cage in the East, North, or the North-East directions so that they are healthy, reciprocal, and active.
- Parrots are believed to be lucky, according to Vastu. They instill love and harmony among the residents of the house. Parrots must always be kept in the North direction.
- Place your love birds’ cage in the East, North-East, and North-West direction.
- Ensure that your pet birds have enough natural light, open space, and fresh air to roam free.
- Do not cage your bird pets. It is inhumane and cruel and leads to the circulation of negative energy in the house.
- Keep water in the South-East corner of your house in an earthenware bowl so that your winged pets can quench their thirst whenever they want.
The Direction of Horses as Pets
- Horses are believed to be a symbol of independence, courage, prestige, and power (horsepower as it is called). As per Vastu and Feng Shui, those who own horses as pets are said to be successful in all aspects of life.
- For the horse owners, always position your horse’s ranch in the North-West or West direction of the house.
Direction for Keeping Cows
- In Hindu culture and as per Vastu Shastra principles, cows are worshipped and considered auspicious. They are called ‘Mata’. It is believed that cows eliminate sorrows and grief and offer medical benefits to the people through their milk, urine, and dung.
- So, if one has cows as their pet or for commercial purposes, always keep them in the East or North-West direction.
Interesting Vastu Facts about Pets at Home
