Fire over the Brahmasthān contradicts the open-centre rule.
Source: Modern Vāstu — Brahmasthān openness (after Mayamata, Ch. 7)
Remedy
Keep the centre Brahmasthān empty — install a hanging brass lamp with a single flame
An empty centre with a single flame keeps the Brahmasthān open; the flame's upward energy counteracts any kitchen load above it.

Fire in the NE works against the lightness the texts want for the Ishana corner.
Source: Manasara, Ch. 7 (Ishana corner)
Remedy
Move the stove OR install a copper Vastu Yantra plate on the wall facing East (modern Vāstu convention)
If the kitchen cannot move, a copper Yantra placed East-facing pulls the fire onto the metal element rather than into the NE.

Source: Bṛhat Saṁhitā, Ch. 53 (Nairṛti, SW)
Remedy
Yellow-ochre wall paint + brass bells hung in the SE corner of the room
SW is the earth corner; adding earthen colour and bell sound (ether) lifts the stuck tamas.

A bedroom load over the Brahmasthān contradicts the open-centre rule.
Source: Modern Vāstu — Brahmasthān openness (after Mayamata, Ch. 7)
Remedy
Replace the centre ceiling light with a hanging crystal (Sphatik) — keep the room airy
A Sphatik (clear quartz) crystal in the centre absorbs scattered energy and re-emits it gently — the simplest Brahmasthān remedy for a heavy load.

A heavy master suite loads the light NE corner the texts want kept open.
Source: Modern Vāstu — keep the NE light (after Manasara, Ch. 7)
Remedy
Keep the bed's head toward the South; install a small Tulsi plant in the SE of the room (modern Vāstu convention)
A Tulsi plant in the SE of the bedroom pulls the heavy NE load down to the SE fire corner where it can be digested.

A staircase through the centre cuts the Brahmasthān.
Source: Modern Vāstu — Brahmasthān openness (after Mayamata, Ch. 7)
Remedy
Hang a wind-chime of five hollow metal rods above the centre of the staircase (modern Vāstu convention)
A staircase through the centre cuts the Brahmasthān; a five-rod wind-chime (pancha-tatva) re-activates the five elements at the cut.

A staircase load presses down the lightest corner.
Source: Modern Vāstu — keep the NE light (after Manasara, Ch. 7)
Remedy

A wet/heavy use over the Brahmasthān contradicts the rule that the centre stay open.
Source: Modern Vāstu — Brahmasthān openness (after Mayamata, Ch. 7)
Remedy
Structural relocation is the only true correction; until it happens, seal the drain covers, run a working exhaust after every use, and keep a sea-salt bowl plus a single brass lamp lit nearby (modern Vāstu convention)
A wet/heavy use directly on the Brahmasthān is the most serious placement error in the mandala — the centre must stay open. No product or ritual cancels this; the listed steps only reduce the load until the fixture can be moved.
Source: Modern Vāstu — Brahmasthān openness (after Mayamata, Ch. 7)

Placing a toilet in the NE (Ishana) — the corner the texts keep purest and lightest — is the most-flagged Vāstu defect; this applies the classical purity principle to a modern attached toilet.
Source: Modern Vāstu — purity of the Ishana corner (after Manasara, Ch. 7)
Remedy
Sea-salt bowl + camphor smoke every full-moon night for 41 days (modern Vāstu convention)
The NE is the lightest corner; a salt bowl absorbs stagnant tamasic vibration and camphor smoke clears the air.

A drain in the SW (Nairṛti) works against the stability the corner should anchor.
Source: Modern Vāstu — heaviness of the SW (after Bṛhat Saṁhitā, Ch. 53)
Remedy
Paint the SW wall white + install a Hanuman photo facing West
SW holds the heaviest energies; a drain here weakens them. White light + Hanuman (the protector) re-anchors the corner.

A South entrance opens to Yama's quarter — acceptable when the door's exact pada and the owner's lagna match; otherwise commonly held neutral rather than favoured.
Source: Bṛhat Saṁhitā, Ch. 53 (Yama, South)
Remedy
Engrave the doorframe with a Sri Yantra OR hang a toran of mango leaves
A South entrance opens to Yama's quarter. A Sri Yantra engraving or mango-leaf toran softens the entry's heavier energy.

A kitchen in the North sets fire against Kubera's direction — his wealth quarter, treated in modern Vāstu as a cooler, water-aligned zone — commonly held a real defect, not a trivial one; the SE (Agni) is the ideal, the NW the usual fallback.
Source: Modern Vāstu — fire off the North (interpretive)
Remedy
Hang a copper pyramid (Vastu Yantra) from the ceiling above the stove (modern Vāstu convention)
Fire in the North fights Kubera's water-aligned direction. A copper pyramid re-asserts the fire element without spreading it.

The NW air corner is associated with movement — usable for a master suite but less settling than the SW.
Source: Modern Vāstu — the NW air corner (after Bṛhat Saṁhitā, Ch. 53)

Hang a small mirror on the North wall — never facing the bed
NW is the air corner; a mirror on the North wall (not facing the bed) stabilises the moving air into still reflection.

An open balcony / cut / void in the SW works against the heaviness the corner should carry.
Source: Modern Vāstu — heaviness of the SW (after Bṛhat Saṁhitā, Ch. 53)

An open SW (a void / cut / balcony) drains the home's heaviest corner. A granite stone or Nandi statue re-plugs the anchor.
Source: Bṛhat Saṁhitā Ch. 53 — re-anchoring Nairṛti
