Traditional Property Orientation Review

Compass-school Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra, presented as two distinct traditions—not one blended score.

What this tool can—and cannot—verify

Address lookup confirms a map location only. It does not determine which side is the true facing side, locate the front door, read a floor plan, or verify stairs, rooms, roads, landform, construction date, occupants, or local practitioner methods. Enter those details only after checking the listing, compass bearing, floor plan, or property in person.

Feng Shui and Vastu are cultural and architectural traditions with multiple schools and interpretations. The review is not a scientific property rating, appraisal, inspection, guarantee, or certification.

1. Locate the property

Geocoding by OpenStreetMap Nominatim. The address is used only to find coordinates; it does not analyze the home.

2. Verify property inputs

Do not infer this from the postal address. Verify the entrance/facing convention and compass bearing. Different schools may define “facing” differently.

3. Optional observed details

Directional reference

FacingOpposite / sitting

The shared compass is for directional comparison only. The interpretations below remain separate.

Feng Shui compass review

A limited Compass-school prompt based on the bearing and observations supplied. A full consultation may also consider time period, landform, construction history, occupants, and practitioner school.

Vastu directional review

A limited directional prompt based on the bearing and observations supplied. It is not a complete Vastu Purusha Mandala or site/building assessment.

Verification checklist

  • Address / coordinatesFound by geocoder or entered by user
  • Facing bearingMust be measured or confirmed by user
  • Floor-plan detailsMust be observed by user
  • Road and exterior formMust be checked on a current map or in person
Results are descriptive prompts, not pass/fail judgments.

Method, evidence, and listing policy

We do not label an on-market home “Feng Shui approved,” “Vastu compliant,” or assign it a combined Harmony Score from public listing data alone. Listings rarely verify the actual entrance bearing and the interior observations this review asks for. A property may be shown as a manual-review candidate only when its source listing is current and every required input is documented; final confirmation requires buyer or agent verification.

For context, academic sources describe Feng Shui as having competing schools and interpretations, while Vastu has its own texts and mandala systems. See Cambridge University Press on Feng Shui schools, and the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts on Vastu texts and mandalas.

Frequently asked questions

Why are Feng Shui and Vastu separated?

They come from different cultural traditions, texts, terminology, and methods. Similar directional themes do not make their judgments interchangeable, so the tool reports them independently.

Can an address determine the direction a home faces?

No. Geocoding returns coordinates. The facing direction must be measured and interpreted using the convention of the selected tradition or practitioner.

Can this tool find compliant homes for sale?

Not reliably from normal listing feeds alone. A credible review needs current listing status plus verified bearing, entrance, floor plan, and exterior observations. We will not present unverified homes as matches.

Is this a scientific or professional certification?

No. It is an educational comparison of traditional frameworks and is not a substitute for a practitioner, architect, inspector, surveyor, appraisal, or buyer due diligence.
