The Mariners Compass (VTCO-003) is a traditional-style compass used as a Vastu instrument, featuring parallel magnetic needles attached to a card that is clearly marked with the principal directions (East, West, North, South) and their degree divisions around the full 360-degree circle. Modelled on the classic mariner's compass design, this instrument is valued for the stability of its needle readings and the legibility of its degree markings, both of which are important when making precise directional assessments as part of a Vastu consultation for a home, commercial space, or plot of land.
Classical Vastu Shastra assigns a planetary ruler to each compass direction, making accurate directional measurement an integral part of Vedic spatial science. The North is associated with Mercury and the planet's influence on prosperity, while the East is governed by the Sun and its life-giving energy. By using an instrument such as the Mariners Compass to identify these zones precisely, practitioners aim to align architectural decisions and room functions with the traditionally believed beneficial planetary energies for each direction, supporting harmony and balance within the space.
