Your well-being is enhanced when you have a Vastu-corrected home. Vastu fulfills the goals of architecture as stated by renowned architect Zaha Hadid...

Having a rectangular (or square) lot is advised in Vastu. If that's not the case, you can create a rectangular wall, fence, or hedge around your home, leaving some bits outside the fence. This will help protect your home and its energy. If you already are fortunate to have such a protective barrier, check it for any needed repairs.

Client Question: Can you clear Rahu energy from someone with ameliorations and the work you do?  Sherri's Answer: Rahu is what is called the North Node in western astrology. In Vedic astrology, Rahu and its counterpart Ketu, the South Node, are considered to be planetary bodies, grahas. You can never fully escape from the influence of one of the planets. You have to walk through at least some of it.
