October 2026: Vastu Tip Sheet

Navratri, Sharad Purnima and Getting Ready for Diwali

  • North-East
    Ghatasthapana (11 Oct)
    Place the kalash or Durga picture in the North-East or East, facing East. Clean the puja corner the day before and keep the space free of clutter.
  • Entrance
    Welcome the festival
    Fresh mango-leaf or marigold toran at the main door, a clean nameplate and a bright light. A clear, well-lit entrance invites positive energy.
  • Centre
    Declutter before Diwali
    Start now: clear the Brahmasthan (centre), remove broken clocks, crockery and old papers, and repair leaking taps. Do one zone each weekend.
  • South-East
    Venus (शुक्र) is retrograde
    Venus (शुक्र) rules the South-East (kitchen). Review rather than renovate: keep the kitchen clean, and avoid buying large kitchen items until Venus turns direct (15 Nov).
  • North-East
    Sharad Purnima (25 Oct)
    Keep the North-East window or terrace open so moonlight can enter. Offer kheer to the Moon (चंद्र) in the evening, as is the custom.

Remedy item to consider: Shree Yantra for the puja room, placed in the North-East or East. Vastu Remedy Shop · Premium members save 10%.
