The attributes of the five elements water, air, fire, earth, and space ( Jal, Vayu, Agni, Prithvi, and Aakash) have been considered as Tridosha ( Vata, pitta, and Kapha in Ayurveda and Triguna in Yoga). In Vastu, the concept of five elements and their relation with 16 zones is used as these are visible in the manifested world. Today I will explain how five elements of nature can attract, health, money, and Success.
In physical reality, you can see water creates trees, trees create fire, fire is converted into ashes, and becomes earth, then metals are extracted from the earth. So these five elements combine to create the whole world.
To understand these five elements and how they are connected with Vastu, you need to know the nature, shape, color, and properties of all five elements.
It is the balance or imbalance among these Panchtattwas that makes one’s space virtual heaven or hell.
Water
Whatever is liquid and flowing and has the property of evaporation, condensation into vapor, and conversion into liquid again is Water. This element if imbalanced can give health issues be it physical or mental.
- Thoughts and emotions are also included in the water element.
- The color is Blue and Black, the shape is wavy, and the metal is Aluminium.
- The North Zone is the direction of the Water element.
- It is associated with a desire to grow in Life, gives clarity of thoughts, improves immunity, and gives new opportunities to grow in life.
- If we have to check whether the water zone is balanced or unbalanced, then we have to focus on the problems stated by our client.
- The tonality of the voice also indicates the disturbing element.
Balanced Water Zone
If the Water zone is balanced then the people staying in the house are balanced in their emotions, they have good health and a very positive attitude towards life. It gives new ideas, and clarity of thought and they create good opportunities for growth in the Career. Water is one of the most important Five Elements of Nature to Attract, Money, and Success.

If the Water zone is imbalanced then the people staying will be facing health issues, they will always be found cribbing on petty matters, they have anger or behavior issues, and they are always confused about their life decisions. They find themselves stuck in Careers, with no growth, and above all, they become so adamant that they don’t even accept wise suggestions.
Vastu Tips for North Zone
Are you also feeling low and becoming oversensitive these days then you should check the north zone of your house. As north zone is the direction governed by water elements.
70% of the human body consists of water. And water represents emotions, sentiments, relationships, and even creativity.
Now, water is damaged by either Fire or Earth.
Fire will evaporate the water, and Earth will block the flow of water. And if the emotional flow is blocked, then we feel unwell, depressed, and stuck in life.
Do you know the space inside you is an extension of the space around you so your life is the product of your inner space? Every space be it in a building or outside it, has a specific purpose.
Hence, if you feel uncomfortable or things are not going in your favor, there is definitely some imperfection in your space. This is called Vastu Dosha.
