Animals reduce the effect of vastu doshas by eradicating the negative vibes around us, thus deflecting any trouble that may come our way or may affect us in the future. Apart from trees and plants, these are the only living beings that emit positive energy in the house. However, it is our responsibility to ensure their well-being as well – any dearth in this regard, would mean inviting trouble.
* Cow
If the North West direction has vastu dosha, which cannot be gotten rid off, worshipping a cow will reduce its ill-effects and bring peace, prosperity and happiness. Additionally, to derive maximum positive effects from the West, worship a black cow; while revering a red cow will help you gain positivity from the South – especially for those involved in politics, administrative field or real estate. If the construction of your house itself is the cause of trouble, keep a cow and a calf for 15 days. To keep the vastu deity happy and bring prosperity, offer a yagna using cow dung for fuel and rice, camphor and ghee for aahuti.
* DogA dog proves beneficial if there are problems connected to the brahmasthaan, if the main gate is in the South West or toilet is in the wrong direction. If the West direction isn't as per vastu norms, get a black dog.
* Parrot, goat and turtleThese animals will help if there are vastu problems in the North; losses in business; if your daughter is unhappy in her marital home; or children are experiencing difficulties in achieving success in their career.
* Cat, rabbit and birdKeeping a cat, rabbit or a bird will enhance the positivity in the South East, and also ensure the health of the female members of the family, and bring home prosperity and fortune. Cats, considered to be a symbol of Goddess Laxmi, bring home money. Though a white cat is generally what people prefer, a black one will help you with issues connected with the South West direction.
* BuffaloIf you are grappling with unemployment or lack of promotion for a long time; or need a smooth path to study abroad and maintain prosperity in the dairy business, turn to the buffalo. But you need to keep it to the West as it is related to Shani.
