The Fundamentals of Vaastu
Principle Three: Downward Slope
The Principle of Downward Slope reveals the correct placement of slopes and lower elevations on a property. A downward slope amplifies the energy of the direction towards which the slope flows. Downward slopes should be to the north, east and especially northeast.
The northeast should always be the lowest point on a property and the southwest, the highest. No matter what, the northeast should never be higher than any other part of the property. If the land is completely flat it is acceptable. Slope applies to the property, land surrounding the property, roofs, and floor levels within a building and a room. Generally, the slopes that influence the Vaastu of a property the most are the slopes of the surrounding land and the property itself. Note: The arrows always point in the direction of downward slope.
