Shape comes first, because a regular plot is easier to balance. Then the road, then the slope, and only then the colours. Use this page together with the Plot & Land Checklist.
Plot Shapes
| Plot shape | Rating | Why |
|---|
| Square | Best | Even energy in all directions. |
| Rectangle | Very good | Comfortable up to about 1:2. Very long plots are harder to balance. |
| Gomukhi (narrow front, wide back) | Good for a home | Called cow-faced. Traditionally favoured for a residence. |
| Simhamukhi (wide front, narrow back) | Good for business | Called lion-faced. Traditionally favoured for a shop or office rather than a home. |
| L-shaped | Needs care | A missing corner creates a cut. Check which corner is missing. |
| Triangular, round or oval | Avoid | Pointed or curved plots leave unbalanced corners. |
| Irregular or wedge | Avoid | The zones are hard to define. Correct the shape with a boundary wall first. |
Roads, Slope and Colours
For example, a road on the North-East side is the most favourable, while a road only on the South-West is the hardest case. Members see the rating for all eight sides, the slope and open-space rules, and colours for every room.
