Questions before money
The classical Vastu tradition examines land before it blesses building on it. Its questions are practical and old: what shape is the plot, which way does it slope, what roads strike it and from where, what stands around it — water, trees, large structures — and what the land was used for before. This tool turns that examination into a structured checklist you can walk in order, on site or from documents.
A checklist, not a verdict machine
Each item you answer is recorded with its traditional significance: a slope toward the north-east reads differently from a slope to the south-west; a plot struck head-on by a road is noted where a plot beside a quiet lane is not. The result is an organised summary of strengths and cautions in the tradition's terms — material for your judgement, not a score that decides for you. No promise about price, health or fortune is made, because none can honestly be made.
How to use this tool
Visit the plot with a compass and this page. Answer the sections in order — shape, level and slope, roads, surroundings, soil and history. Where you are unsure, mark the item to check rather than guessing. Save or note the summary, and repeat for each plot you are weighing; the Compare properties tool then sets them side by side.
FAQ
Q. Can this replace a site visit? No. Several checks — slope, surroundings, soil — can only be observed on the ground.
Q. Does it give a yes or no? It gives an ordered account of what the tradition would note. The decision stays yours.
Q. What if a plot fails several items? Read which items, and their weight; some cautions have traditional moderations, others are structural.
