About this Vastu: Astrology and Architecture in English - Paperback
Vastu: Astrology and Architecture by Gayatri Devi Vasudev, published in English by Motilal Banarsidass and available here in paperback, explores the relationship between Vastu Shastra — the ancient Indian science of spatial arrangement — and Vedic astrology. Gayatri Devi Vasudev, a respected editor and practitioner in the Jyotish community, examines how planetary influences and astrological considerations intersect with the principles that govern the design and orientation of living and working spaces. This volume is particularly relevant for architects, interior designers, Vastu consultants, and astrologers who wish to understand how the two traditions have historically informed one another. It brings a serious, text-based perspective to a subject that is often treated superficially.

Astrological significance
In the Vedic tradition, Vastu Shastra and Jyotish are considered complementary limbs of knowledge, both rooted in the understanding of cosmic forces and their influence on human life. Planetary lords are traditionally associated with specific directions — for example, the Sun with east and Saturn with west — and Vastu principles are believed to harness or mitigate these directional energies within a built space. Gayatri Devi Vasudev's work examines these classical correspondences with scholarly care.
