Vaastu teaches us to align our dwellings to the tune of NATURE'S ENERGIES to derive maximum benefit out of them for our welfare and health. However it is not always possible to comply all the tenets of VAASTU at a time. Therefore only broad aspects of VAASTU related to Apartments' plot of land, building and flats are summarized below.

Plot of Land :

• Axii of plot X-X and Y-Y should be parallel to magnetic axii East-West, North-South;
• Square shaped plot is the best;
• Rectangular shaped plot is good next to square shaped;
• Circular, oval shaped plot tilted by more than 22½” to the magnetic axis, hexagonal, wheel shaped, triangular, semi-circular, bow-shaped, parallelogram shaped, reverse - cart shaped, star shape, dholak shaped, trapezium shaped, hand fan shaped, beak shaped, tortoise shaped, plot having corner angles other than 90 degrees and also has all unequal four sides, trisul shaped, lion face shaped, egg shaped, L shaped plot having its North-West corner extended, plot having two opposite sites equal on East and West, South side larger than side on North, plot having East and West side parallel and sides on North and South Parallel are examples which are either weak or inauspicious. Such plots can be rectified to make them fit from VAASTU consideration. Cow faced plots with extension in North East corner are good for residential purpose.
• Slopes of the plot from North to South, West to East, South-West to North-East are good;
• If the plot has only one road on either North or East or West is good and if on South good for business.
• If the plot is having roads on two sides, then:

a) If roads are on North and East or on West and North it is good;

b) Other combinations of two roads is comparatively weak;

• If the plot is having roads on three sides, then they are generally weak;
• If the plot is having roads on four sides, then it is the best.
• If any T-Junction road is situated on any one or on other sides of the plot, it is weak 
• If a road is by side of a plot and ends at the end of the plot it is good;
• If the road dead ends on one side of the plot, it is not good.
• In case of rectangular plots, the frontage along the road should be less than the depth of plot. Depth of plot better not to exceed than two times of the frontage width.
• Extension of corner of plot in North East or reduction of corner in North-West or South-East is good. Extension of other corners are not desirable.
• If the plot is sandwiched between two plots, it should be avoided;
• If there are rivers, drains, lakes etc., in the East or in the North it is auspicious;
• If there are tall trees, hillocks, building, mount of earth on the West or in the South it is auspicious.
• Colour of soil should be white, red or yellow;
