The principles of Astrology and Vaastu are time tested due to their evolutionary basis. They are based on the five elements, Earth, Fire, Air, Sky (eather or space) and Water, the five Panchmahabhutas, which too have evolved with time. Everything is made of these 5 elements since time immemorial. Man is the creative being and has created everything depending on nature or its 5 elements and has not been able to create anything independently. Thus Astrology and Vaastu remain as relevant today as in the ancient times. According to Vaastu, the external and the internal are interchangeable, because the underlying energies are the same that govern the elements, such as wind or fire and the organs of the human body. Vaastu states that when buildings and forms are in tune with the underlying cosmic principles, they become a part of the basic structure of the universe and vibrate in harmony with it. These positive vibrations have a positive effect on the inhabitants. So Vaastu is not limited to the house, but affect the city, state and the country as a whole.
The science of Astrology and Vaastu is complete in itself and, if properly applied, will ensure happiness in worldly life. Vaastu is a connecting abridge between the inner spaces of being and outer spaces of the natural order. Inner spaces come under natural control and constraints of Yogashastra. Outer spaces are covered in the knowledge of Astrology through in media of 27 constellations, 12 signs of the zodiac, 9 planets and their correlations.
