Why Vastu matters at work

In an office or shop, Vastu focuses on where the owner sits, where cash is kept and how customers enter. The owner in the South-West facing North or East, a cash locker opening to the North (the direction of Kuber), and a bright, open entrance are the three changes most practitioners recommend first.

For work-from-home, sit in the North or East part of the house, facing North or East, with a solid wall behind you.
