Thirty-two doors of one boundary
Where the zones divide the whole field, the classical Vastu tradition divides the boundary itself: each of the eight directions is split into four entrance positions, giving thirty-two gates around the perimeter. Two neighbouring gates on the same wall can differ sharply — one favourable, the next discouraged — because each position answers to a different seat of the mandala behind it. The entrance is treated as the mouth of the house, so no placement question receives more care.
What the tool computes
Enter the bearing of your gate or door — the line from the centre of the plot to the entrance — and the tool names the gate position among the thirty-two, states whether the tradition counts it favourable, neutral or unfavourable, and describes the effect ascribed to it. The classical basis appears with the result, quoted from the practice's source records.
How to use this tool
Measure the bearing from the plot's centre to the middle of the entrance. Check your existing door first; if you are planning or renovating, test the candidate positions and compare their readings. Where a gate reads unfavourably, the Balancers page gathers the traditional moderating measures.
FAQ
Q. Is one favourable gate per direction guaranteed? Most directions hold both favourable and unfavourable positions; the reading tells you which band you are in.
Q. Door of the house or gate of the compound? Both matter; read each at its own bearing, the compound gate first.
Q. My door spans two positions. Which applies? Use the bearing of the door's centre line; if it rides a boundary, re-measure before concluding.
