Can you check your house's Vastu online?
Yes, you can check your house's Vastu online if you have a floor plan: an online check reads the plan, places each room in a direction and compares it with the traditional table. It cannot inspect the site, judge structure or promise any outcome. Use it as a first screen, with its limits in mind.

What can an online Vastu check do?
Given a floor plan, a good online check finds the rooms and the entrance, works out which direction each sits in and compares it with the traditional preferences. It can explain each finding in plain language and show which rule produced it.
That makes it a practical first look for a home you are thinking of buying, renting or building, especially before spending on a visit.
What can an online Vastu check not do?
An online check cannot inspect the site or predict anything, because it works from a drawing. It cannot walk the site, judge soil or structure, or see how the home is actually used. It does not replace a practitioner for rituals, disputes or family questions, and it cannot say what will happen in your life.
Some sites also promise results or use fear to sell remedies. Treat that as a reason to look elsewhere.
How do I choose a reliable online Vastu check?
A reliable online check starts from the right North, since a check is only as reliable as its North. Look for one that asks you to confirm North instead of assuming it, and that lets you correct a room it misread.
It should show the rule behind each finding, separate what is preferred from what is avoided, and keep its suggestions non-structural. If it asks for a payment before showing any reasoning, or tells you to demolish walls, skip it.
- It asks you to confirm North and rooms
- It shows the rule and evidence for each finding
- It avoids fear-based claims and outcome promises
- It works for flats and not only independent houses
Can I check a flat or an irregular plan online?
Yes, a flat can be checked from its own plan, though you cannot change the building around it. An irregular layout gets a less clear reading, because the centre and the wedges are harder to place.
If a room does not match
These need no building work.
- Check that North was read correctly before trusting any finding.
- Correct any room the tool misread and run the check again.
- Take the easy fixes first: furniture, clutter, light and the entrance.
- Ask a qualified architect or engineer and the local authority about structural or legal questions.
In VastuLive
VastuLive reads an uploaded or photographed floor plan, or one you sketch, and asks you to confirm rooms and North when it is unsure. The report gives a score and a finding for each room with the rule and evidence behind it, and you can export a PDF.

Can I check Vastu with only a photo of the plan?
Often yes, provided the plan is legible and North is marked or you can confirm it. A blurry plan needs corrections to the rooms it misreads, so check the result before trusting it. If North is missing from the plan, find it first with a compass app, then confirm it in the check.
Is an online check as good as a practitioner?
No, they do different jobs. An online check compares the layout with the traditional table and shows the rule behind each finding. A practitioner can discuss context, rituals and disputes, which a check cannot do. Traditions differ between practitioners, so use the check as a first screen.
Do I need a house plan?
Yes. Without a plan or a sketch of the rooms, there is nothing to place in directions. An uploaded plan, a photographed plan or a simple sketch of the rooms with North marked is enough to start. Check that the rooms and North were read correctly before trusting any finding.
Will an online check tell me if my home is lucky?
No. An online check describes how a layout matches the traditional table, and it cannot predict luck or any outcome. Traditions differ, and an avoided direction is a statement about what texts say, not a forecast. Use the findings to decide which easy, non-structural changes are worth making.
