The practice at a glance
Every tool on this site goes deep into one question. This page goes wide instead: the core tables of the classical Vastu tradition, condensed into charts you can scan in seconds. The sixteen zones with their degree spans. The five elements and their seats. The eight directions with their themes. The standard room placements. The colour families by element. The bands of the thirty-two gates. What the deep tools compute, these charts let you recall.
Charts, kept consistent
The charts are drawn from the same records the calculators use, so a span or a placement here always agrees with what the tools report — there is one practice on this site, not two. Each chart links to its deep tool, so when a quick lookup raises a real question, the full calculator with its inputs is one step away. The charts state the tradition's general tables; your particular house, with its tilt and shape, is what the tools are for.
How to use this tool
Keep this page bookmarked as your desk card. Use it mid-conversation with an architect, on site with a mason, or whenever you half-remember a rule and need the exact row. For printing, each chart stands on its own; take the two or three your current work needs. And when the chart answer surprises you, follow the link into the full tool before acting on it.
FAQ
Q. Are the charts a substitute for the calculators? No — charts give the general table; the calculators apply it to your actual degrees and dimensions.
Q. Do the charts and tools ever disagree? They are built from the same records; if you ever see a difference, trust the calculator and tell us.
Q. Can I print them? Yes; each chart is laid out to print cleanly on its own.
