ABOUT THE TOOL
What Makes This a Vastu Compass?
Why 16 directions matter
A regular compass is great when you simply want to know where North is. A Vastu compass needs a little more detail, so this page divides the full circle into 16 directions.
Each zone covers 22.5 degrees. North is centered at 0 degrees, East at 90 degrees, South at 180 degrees, and West at 270 degrees. The extra labels fill the spaces between them: NNE, ENE, ESE, SSE, SSW, WSW, WNW, and NNW.
How to check house Vastu direction
For an overall house or room direction check, start as close to the center of the space as you reasonably can. Hold the phone level and steady. Face the direction you want to measure, or point the top of the phone toward the wall, entrance, balcony, or feature you are checking.
Different Vastu practitioners may use different methods for detailed analysis, but a clean direction reading is a useful first step before interpretation begins.
Using Camera Overlay with a floor plan
Place the plan on a table or another flat surface, turn on Camera Overlay, and point your phone camera at the drawing. The live preview stays behind the compass, so the 16 direction compass can act like a Vastu direction overlay.
You still do the alignment yourself: rotate or position the phone according to the actual North direction of the house or building. The tool does not scan rooms, detect walls, or automatically calculate house floor plan direction.
Getting a steady reading
We've built the compass to get the best direction reading your phone can provide. Like any magnetic compass, it still has to live in the real world, where magnets and metal like to make things interesting.
Keep the phone away from large speakers, laptops, chargers, vehicles, metal furniture, magnetic phone cases, and other obvious magnetic troublemakers. Taking two or three readings from nearby spots is often enough to spot a bad one.
Vastu compass vs regular compass
The regular compass on this site focuses on the familiar eight directions and a clean degree reading. This Vastu compass keeps the same simple experience but gives you a more detailed 16 direction compass face.
We are intentionally keeping Vastu advice out of the compass itself for now. The tool tells you the direction; it does not tell you where your kitchen should be or which door guarantees luck. Deeper Vastu guidance deserves proper research, not guesswork.

FAQ
Online Vastu Compass FAQ
Practical answers for checking house Vastu direction with the 16 direction compass.
How do I check house Vastu direction?
For a simple house direction check, stand as close to the center of the space as you reasonably can. Keep the phone steady, face the direction you want to measure, and read the degree plus the 16-point direction. Different Vastu practitioners may use different methods for deeper analysis, but this gives you a clear directional reading to start with.
Which direction is lucky for home?
Vastu does not reduce every house and every person to one universal lucky direction. Recommendations can depend on the part of the house, the layout, the system being followed, the practitioner, and sometimes personal astrological factors. This compass measures direction accurately; it does not pretend to calculate anyone's personal fortune.
How do I use an online Vastu compass?
Open the Vastu compass on your phone, tap Enable Compass, and allow access if your browser asks. Hold the phone level and steady, stand in the area you want to measure, then note the degree and 16-point direction. If something looks unusual, take a second reading.
How can I use the Vastu compass with a floor plan?
Place the floor plan on a flat surface, turn on Camera Overlay, and point your phone at the plan. Then manually align the phone with the actual North direction of the house or building, so the 16 direction compass gives you a visual overlay. It does not detect rooms or calculate the building direction for you.
Is an online Vastu compass accurate?
On a supported, calibrated phone, the Vastu compass is designed to give an accurate real-time direction reading. Like any compass, it can be affected by magnets, metal, speakers, electronics, magnetic cases, and poor calibration. Move away from interference and try again if the reading seems off.
How is a Vastu compass different from a regular compass?
A regular compass is usually enough for the familiar eight directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW. This Vastu compass splits the circle into 16 directions, with each zone covering 22.5 degrees, so you can read directions like NNE, ENE, SSW, and WNW.
What are the best practices while using a Vastu compass online?
Stand near the center of the area when that makes sense, keep the phone level, and stay away from obvious magnetic troublemakers like large speakers, laptops, metal furniture, vehicles, and magnetic phone accessories. Take more than one reading if needed, and compare with your phone's native compass if something looks strange.
