Vastu Tips: Many times we ignore the cracks or dampness on the walls of the house considering it as a defect in construction or poor material. If this problem persists even after repeated repairs, then there may be a deep connection between your ascendant chart and the position of the planets.
According to the authentic principles of ancient Vedic astrology and Sthapatya Veda (Vastu Shastra), a person’s place of residence is a physical reflection of his life and planetary conditions.
When the cruel or weak planets of the horoscope are in a weak position, their negative impact starts appearing in the form of physical deformity in a particular corner of the house.

When Shanidev becomes the real cause of dampness and cracks
In the authentic texts of Vedic astrology, Shani Dev is considered to be the main factor of old things, darkness, junk, dilapidated properties and looseness. On the contrary, the fourth house of Kaalpurush horoscope represents your personal happiness, mental peace and your own physical house (land-building).
If Shanidev is placed in the fourth house of a person’s ascendant horoscope, then according to experienced astrologers, there is often some part of such a person’s house where natural light does not reach and remains dark, or cracks start appearing on the wall in that direction again and again.
Along with this, if there is Cancer in the fourth house of the horoscope and Shanidev is situated there, then mysterious dampness is seen in the walls of the house. Since Cancer is a water elemental sign and Saturn causes obstruction or decay there, this specific astrological yoga always keeps that part of the house damp. Similarly, in the house in which Rahu is placed in the horoscope, problems related to toilet or dirt arise again and again in the same direction of the house.
How does your horoscope work on the house map?
This is not a superstition or imaginary notion, but is based entirely on mathematical and direction-based scientific calculations. The zodiac sign which is rising in the east at the exact time of your birth becomes your ascendant sign.
After this, the 12 houses of the entire horoscope control various areas of your life as well as the 12 directions and sub-directions of your house. If you draw a rectangular horoscope chart with a pencil according to the architectural grid on your house map and place the planets of your ascendant horoscope in it, you will know exactly which planet is dominant in which direction.
In the direction or house in which planets like Saturn, Rahu or Mars are weak, debilitated or afflicted, some Vaastu defect will inevitably be found in your house.
Do the easiest and logical solution without any damage.
According to the ancient rules of Vastu Shastra, it is not always necessary to do demolition to balance the energy, rather non-demolition remedies are considered most effective for this. Often people start vandalizing the house as soon as they hear the name of Vaastu defect, which causes huge financial and mental loss.
The most practical solution is to balance the planet in that direction without breaking a single brick. Never leave the corner or direction of the house where Saturn’s negative influence (according to the fourth house) is in darkness and make adequate arrangements for lighting. Immediately remove old, rusted iron items, broken items or junk from that affected area.
After this, according to the planetary position of that house, the energy flow there can be completely improved by installing colors, plants that increase positive energy or specific instruments that balance the five elements in the right direction.
