"It's not just about the house; tt's about how it feels to live in it."

You know that feeling when you walk into a space, and something just feels off?

You can't quite explain it. The lighting is fine, the furniture is in place, but there's a certain heaviness you can't shake off.

That's exactly the space Vaastu quietly operates in.

In a conversation with Rinhee Suberwal, Astrologer and Tarot Reader what emerges is a perspective that moves beyond rigid rules and expensive fixes. Instead, it brings the focus back to something more intuitive-energy, balance, and the way a space interacts with you on a daily basis.

For Suberwal, Vaastu isn't limited to directions or architecture.

"It's about alignment with the universe," she explains, adding that the very word comes from "Vaas" (to reside) and "Astu" (existence). In simpler terms, it's about the energy of the space you live in, and how that energy, shaped by your surroundings and choices, can influence your life.

The idea is straightforward: your home doesn't just shelter you, it absorbs and reflects what's within it.

Does Everything Have to Be Perfect? Not Really

One of the biggest anxieties around Vaastu is the pressure to get everything exactly right.

But Suberwal brings in a much-needed reality check-perfect Vaastu isn't always practical, and more importantly, it isn't always necessary.

"Yes, certain directions like southwest-facing homes are considered tricky, but she points out that remedies exist. More importantly, your personal planetary cycles and overall luck also play a role," said Suberwal.

"So even if your home isn't perfectly aligned, it doesn't automatically mean things will fall apart. Balance, not perfection, is the goal," she added.

The Small Things That Quietly Disrupt Your Home's Energy

Sometimes, it's not the big structural issues, but everyday habits that affect the energy of a space.

Rinhee points out a few details most people overlook:

• Keeping the washroom doors open
• Poor ventilation
• Leaking taps
• Lingering unpleasant smells

Then there are the more belief-driven practices-like avoiding certain plants indoors or not using "Welcome" doormats, which she says can invite unwanted energies.

Whether one fully believes in these ideas or not, they all revolve around a common theme: cleanliness, freshness, and mindful upkeep.

The One Area You Shouldn't Ignore

If there's one part of the house that truly matters, according to Suberwal, it's the north east.

She describes it as the most powerful zone-one that should be kept light, clean, and positive. In fact, a well-maintained north east can help balance other Vaastu imperfections in the home.

The kitchen, on the other hand, should never be placed in this direction, while bedrooms, washrooms, and entrances all carry their own significance.

In short, every corner contributes, but some corners carry more weight than others.

Interestingly, one of the biggest errors isn't about what people do, but how they interpret.

"Many people assess their home's entrance incorrectly, looking at it from the outside instead of from within. Others simply mix up directions, confusing east with west. It sounds basic, but in a system that relies so heavily on orientation, these small misunderstandings can change everything," explained Suberwal.

Living on Rent? You Still Have Control

Not everyone can break walls or redesign layouts, and that's okay.

For those living in rented spaces, Suberwal suggests focusing on energy rather than structure. Simple practices like:

• mopping with salt water
• using camphor diffusers
• cleansing with sage
• playing mantras

These, she says, can subtly shift the energy of a home without any physical changes.

It's less about ownership, and more about how you inhabit the space.

One of the most common beliefs around Vaastu is that if your entrance is right, everything else will fall into place.

Suberwal disagrees.

A good entrance helps-but it doesn't cancel out imbalances elsewhere. A home works as a whole system, and every part needs attention.

It's a reminder that there are no shortcuts when it comes to creating a balanced living space.

If You Only Follow Three Things, Start Here

For anyone feeling overwhelmed, Suberwal simplifies it down to three essentials:

• Keep your home clean, clutter-free, and well ventilated
• Maintain a positive, open north east zone
• Incorporate small spiritual or cleansing practices
• Simple, doable, and far less intimidating than a complete Vaastu overhaul.

The Takeaway

What stands out in Rinhee Suberwal's approach is how grounded it feels.

Vaastu, in her view, isn't about fear or rigid rules-it's about awareness. About noticing how your space feels, how it affects you, and making small shifts that bring a sense of ease.

Because at the end of the day, a home isn't just where you live. It's where your energy settles and stays.
