Can I check my home's Vastu online for free?

Vaastu World publishes Vastu guides. The specialist audit and room-tool service is available at vaastuworld.org; that service shows its current access terms before you start.

The Vastu computed assessment is an advisory summary of a completed property audit. Vaastu World at vaastuworld.org is the specialist service and states the current scope, availability and price there.

Does my flat or house number affect Vastu?

In numerology a property's number carries a vibration; Vaastu World checks its compatibility with your own birth number and suggests remedies to align it.

How is Vaastu World's Vastu different from other tools?

Vaastu World ties Vastu to your birth chart (Jyotish) — reading your property against your own Sun, Moon and Lagna — a personalization no other Vastu tool offers, in 10 Indian languages.
