When building a property, Vasthu Sastra suggests that, if possible, the breadwinner should pick the direction in which it faces based on the direction that is favourable to his or her zodiac sign.

Of course, this is easier to do if one is building on a fresh piece of land. When buying a ready-made property, it might not be possible to change the direction in which the property faces.

This is not, however, a major problem because by staying in a property that is arranged internally according to Vasthu principles, a person will be able to ease any unfavourable astrological influences.
