Vastu is a science of construction that makes the connection between humans and the universe. the shape of plot, the space being used for construction, the material used, the objects placed, all the minor details of a home create the similar mindset of the residents. it is generally said that people make home, if we go deeper, it seems like a home makes a person.
The science of Vastu works on the basis of Five elements that constitutes the whole universe, and these are – water, air, fire, earth and space. water is one of such interesting elements that changes its meaning with the mere change of its position. While steady water is an indicator of wealth, flowing water signifies consistency of work and acceptance of change. but if the water is in the form of leakage or seepage, it can disturb the flow of energy in your homes and lead to financial as well as relationship problems.
Problems arise with leakage and seepage.
