Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is also the celebration of Ma Lakshmi – Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. It’s the perfect time to clear financial blockages and renew the flow of abundance. Money, after all, is energy. When this energy feels stagnant or delayed, Vastu Shastra, the ancient science of spatial harmony, offers powerful ways to realign your environment. By activating key wealth zones and catering to simple Vastu-based guidelines this Diwali, you can invite stability, prosperity and a steady flow of financial fortune into your life!

 

The following are Vastu Insights And Remedies For Wealth And Financial Growth:

 North and North-East Zones: The North is ruled by Lord Kubera, the deity of wealth, while the North-East governs clarity and blessings. If these zones are cluttered or blocked, it often results in financial stagnation.

Remedy: Keep the North and North-East clean, open and well-lit. Place a bowl of water with fresh flowers or a glass of water with a pinch of salt to absorb negativity. Avoid keeping heavy storage or dustbins in this zone.

South-East – The Zone of Fire and Wealth Creation: The South-East corner, ruled by Agni, represents financial inflow, wealth creation and business opportunities. Imbalances may cause losses or obstacles in career growth.

Remedy: Place your kitchen or main electrical equipment in the South-East. In offices, keep financial documents or lockers in this zone. A red or orange decorative item here helps activate prosperity energy.

South-West – Zone of Stability and Assets: This direction governs savings, investments and long-term financial security. If weak, money comes in but does not stay.

Remedy: Keep a solid piece of furniture, like a heavy wooden cabinet, in this corner to ground stability. Placing a pair of crystal tortoises or a money box strengthens asset-building. Use earthy tones like beige or light brown.

Placement of Lockers and Cash Boxes: The orientation of lockers or cash safes matters. Lockers should ideally open towards the North, symbolising continuous inflow. They should be kept in the South or South-West, facing North, ensuring stability and attraction of wealth. Avoid keeping them under beams or near toilets.

Desk and Workstation Alignment in Offices: For professionals, how you sit at work has a direct effect on financial growth. Sit facing North or East while working to invite clarity and opportunities. Keep your back supported by a solid wall. Avoid sitting with your back to a door or window. Place a crystal globe or a brass tortoise on your desk to activate financial flow.

Colours for Financial Growth: Colours influence our vibrations. Green represents growth and fresh opportunities. Yellow symbolises clarity and positivity. Gold or metallic accents invite prosperity vibrations.

Use these shades in upholstery, curtains or decorative items, especially in the North and South-East zones.

Money Plants and Prosperity Enhancers: Plants are living symbols of growth. A healthy plant attracts financial energy, while a dying one blocks it. Best plants – Money plant (kept in a glass pot with water in the North or South-East), bamboo, and jade plant. Avoid thorny plants, cactus or bonsai indoors, as they symbolise obstacles and stunted growth. In offices, keeping fresh flowers in reception areas uplifts prosperity energy.

 

Simple Daily Rituals for Wealth:

– Light a divo or incense in the North-East every morning to invite blessings.

– Keep your wallet and cash notes neat and organised; avoid torn or crumpled notes.

– Sprinkle rock salt water weekly in corners to cleanse stuck financial energy.

– Recite a short prayer or affirmation for abundance while lighting a lamp, focusing on gratitude for what you already have.

 

Spiritual Connection: Praying to Ashishvangh Banu Yazad

In the Zoroastrian tradition, Ashishvangh Banu Yazad is the guardian angel of prosperity, wealth and blessings. Just as Ma Lakshmi is invoked in Hindu homes, Parsis can pray to Ashishvangh Banu Yazad to attract abundance.

Suggested Practice: Light a divo with sandalwood at sunrise or sunset, and recite the short Nirang of Ashishvangh Yazad daily: ‘Ashaum Ahmai Raeshcha, Haurvatat Ameretat Ashishvangh Yazad.’ This simple prayer aligns the energy of your home with blessings of wealth and contentment.

 

Financial growth is a combination of effort, mindset and energy flow. Vastu helps align the latter – our environment, so that our hard work translates into stability and abundance. By keeping wealth-related zones clutter-free, choosing the right directions for work, incorporating plants and colours and invoking the blessings of Ashishvangh Banu Yazad, you create a home and office that naturally attracts prosperity! Remember: money flows best where energy flows freely. Let your space reflect abundance, and abundance will find its way to you!
