Home Office & Study Vastu: Directions, Rules & Remedies
With work and study moving home, the direction you face at your desk matters more than ever. Vastu links the North to new opportunities and the East to learning and clarity — the two directions to face while working.

Common home office & study Vastu doshas and remedies
Desk faces South
Rotate the desk to face North or East. If it cannot move, place a small crystal or an image of a rising sun on the East wall.
Back to the door
Reposition the desk, or place a small mirror so the door is visible while you work.
