Time waits for no one; But according to Vastu Shastra, the clock on the wall doesn’t just tell time – it directly impacts the energy of your home and your luck. A clock placed in the wrong direction or at the wrong place can hinder your progress, whereas the right choice and the right place brings happiness and prosperity to the house.
**Choosing a watch: size and color**
According to Vastu, several things should be kept in mind while choosing a watch:
**Auspicious Shape:** Round, oval or square clocks are considered the most auspicious, as they bring stability and harmony in the house.
**Auspicious Type:** It is very auspicious to install a pendulum clock; Its melodious sound increases the flow of positive energy in the house.
**Choice of color:** Light colors like white, light blue or green are considered auspicious for the east direction, while white or metallic shades are better for clocks placed in the north direction.
**Maintenance:** Keep the watch free from dust and cobwebs. To ensure that the flow of energy continues without interruption, regular cleaning is necessary.
**Auspicious directions for wall clock**
According to Vastu, it is important to choose the right direction for the clock:
**East Direction:** This is the direction of sunrise, hence placing a watch here brings good luck and positive energy.
**North Direction:** This is the direction of Kuber, the god of wealth. By placing a watch here, the financial condition of the person improves and the chances of financial gain increase.
**West Direction:** If there is not enough space on the east or north facing wall, then the west direction is considered the third best option.
**Mistakes to Avoid (What Not to Do)**
According to the principles of Vaastu, certain mistakes can bring stress and bad luck in your life:
**Avoid South:** Never place a clock on the South facing wall. It is considered to be the direction of Yama (Lord of Death), and placing a clock here may cause hindrances in health and personal progress.
Above the door: Do not place the clock directly above the main entrance or any door of the room, as it may increase tension among family members.
Broken clock: Never keep a broken clock or a clock with broken glass in the house; It is considered a symbol of stagnation and bad luck.
Aggressive Design: Avoid clocks with very sharp shapes or aggressive designs, as these can create tension in the home.
Time: Make sure the clock always shows the correct time or is 1-2 minutes ahead of actual time; A clock running backward can slow down progress in life.
