Many times, after shifting to a new house, people suddenly start experiencing problems like mental stress, scary dreams, disrupted sleep or unnecessary fights in the family. According to Vastu Shastra, it is linked to Vaastu defects or “energy imbalance” present in the house. However, this is completely based on traditional beliefs and faith, there is no scientific evidence for it.
Possible symptoms of Vaastu defects in new house
1. Having recurring nightmares
It is believed that if the energy of the house is unbalanced, mental disturbance can increase, which affects sleep and leads to scary dreams.
2. Family discord without any reason
If disputes suddenly start increasing in the house over small matters, then it is considered a sign of Vaastu defect.
3. Mental stress and anxiety
People living in the house may feel constantly tired, stressed or uneasy, which is associated with negative energy.

Interruption in work, sudden increase in expenses or lack of money is also considered a sign of Vaastu defect.

Some people say that being at home feels “weird” or heavy for no reason.
