Understanding Study Vastu for Children

According to Vastu Shastra, the study environment differs for:

Young Children (up to Class 7–8)
Higher Education Students (Class 9 onwards, including competitive exams, IIT, Engineering, etc.)

Each group has different directional requirements, and placing their study table in the right zone makes a big difference.

Vastu Zones: Best & Worst Directions for Studying

Below are the study zones explained in simple terms:

Best Directions for Studying

1. North-East (NE) – Ideal for Young Children

Best for kids up to Class 7–8
Enhances grasping power, stability, and calmness
If possible, create the study area or study room in this zone

Facing Direction: Always prefer East

2. East – The Energy Zone

The rising sun gives energy, positivity, and focus
Helps children sit longer without getting tired
Ideal facing direction for all age groups

This is why worship is also done facing East because the Sun is the source of energy on Earth.

3. West-Southwest (WSW) – Best for Higher Education

Highly recommended for students preparing for competitive exams
Improves deep focus and retention
Ideal for older students (Class 9 onwards)

If West-Southwest is not available, then choose North-East.

4. South-Southeast (SSE) – Boosts Confidence

Good for intelligent students but lack confidence
Helps in communication, presentation, and clarity
Suitable mostly for older students

5. Southwest (SW) – Skill Enhancement Zone

Ideal for students practicing a specific skill or subject
Supports discipline and stability

Directions to Avoid for Studying

1. North & North-Northeast

Causes distraction and lack of interest
Should be avoided for both young and older children

2. East-Northeast (ENE)

Creates entertainment tendencies
Leads to mobile addiction, distraction, and mischief

3. East (Area), Not Facing

If the study table is placed in the East zone (not facing East),
the child may become more social and distracted
Increases desire to chat, call friends, or engage socially

4. East-Southeast (ESE) – The Churning Zone

Creates mental overthinking
Suitable only for research-oriented students, not general academics

5. Southeast (SE)

Increases aggression and irritation
Avoid especially if the area has red colors (tables, décor, etc.)
If unavoidable, use neutral colors like cream or white

6. South

Relaxation zone
Leads to laziness and lack of action
Child may appear to study but won’t stay focused

7. South-Southwest (SSW)

Drains energy quickly
If your child feels unconscious or bored while studying, refine this area

8. West-Northwest (WNW) – Very Bad Direction

Worse than Southeast
Causes sadness, emotional imbalance, and low performance
Avoid that direction at every costs

9. Northwest (NW)

Represents movement
Child will sit but won’t focus; mind will wander constantly
Leads to poor results despite long study hours

10. North-Northwest (NNW)

Causes attraction distractions (movies, opposite gender, entertainment)
Major focus loss zone for teens
Shift the study table immediately if placed here

Final Vastu Recommendation

You don’t need multiple perfect zones.
Even one good direction is enough:

Top two Vastu zones for studying:

Northeast (NE)
West-Southwest (WSW)

Best Facing Direction:

East
Alternatively, Northeast facing if East isn’t possible

Place the study table in a positive environment and ensure the child faces the right direction this alone improves concentration, retention, and consistency.
