Water Element in Vastu: How It Stores Past-Life & Ancestral Karma
North-East Energy Explained for Repeating Family Problems by Astrologer Ashish Somani
Introduction
Many people say, “The same things keep happening in our family” or “No matter what I do, I face the same issues again and again.”
These are not casual statements.
According to Vedic Vastu and Jyotish, such repetitions indicate stored karmic memory—not coincidence, not bad luck.
This blog explains a very subtle but powerful principle:
Water is the primary carrier of karmic memory, and the North-East (Ishanya) is the zone where this memory becomes visible.
We will explore:
-
What “water” really means in Vastu
-
How karma is stored and transmitted
-
The role of the Five Elements
-
Why North-East reflects past-life and ancestral patterns
-
The combined role of Jupiter and Ketu in this zone
-
Deep, non-aggressive remedies that bring real relief
-
Common questions and misconceptions
1. What Does “Water” Mean in Vastu?
In Vastu, water does not mean only physical water like:
-
Borewells
-
Water tanks
-
Bathrooms
-
Fountains
These represent only the outer layer.
At a deeper level, Water (Jala Tattva) represents:
-
Flow of energy (Prana)
-
Emotional body
-
Subconscious mind (Chitta)
-
Memory and impressions (Samskara)
-
Continuity across lifetimes
So in Vastu:
Water is not just a substance — it is the medium of memory.
That is why disturbances related to water often appear as:
-
Emotional instability
-
Anxiety or fear without reason
-
Repeating relationship or financial patterns
-
Mental restlessness
2. What Is Karma in Simple Words?
Karma is not punishment.
Karma means stored impressions created by:
-
Past actions
-
Past emotions
-
Past reactions
-
Past intentions
These impressions are called Samskaras.
Samskaras do not disappear with death.
They travel with the subtle mind, and water is the element that allows this travel.
3. Why Water Carries Karma (and Not Other Elements)
Water has unique qualities:
-
It flows without resistance
-
It absorbs and retains impressions
-
It adapts and carries forward
Karma behaves in the same way.
That is why ancient seers linked:
-
Mind → Water
-
Memory → Water
-
Continuity → Water
Other elements have different roles, explained below.
4. Role of the Five Elements in Karma (Important Table)
How Each Element Participates in Karma
| Element | Role in Karma | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Water (Jala) | Carries memory | Stores emotional impressions, subconscious patterns, past-life and ancestral samskaras |
| Earth (Prithvi) | Gives form | Converts karma into physical body, family, property, health, and environment |
| Fire (Agni) | Transforms karma | Matures, purifies, or burns karma through experiences and crises |
| Air (Vayu) | Activates karma | Triggers karma into motion through actions, reactions, and decisions |
| Space (Akasha) | Holds destiny | Contains the blueprint, timing, and potential of life events |
Key understanding:
Karma is stored in water, activated by air, experienced through earth, transformed by fire, and held in space.
5. Moon, Mind, and Water
In Jyotish:
-
Moon = Mind
-
Mind = Memory
-
Memory = Past impressions
-
Moon belongs to the water element
That is why:
-
Moon afflictions cause emotional repetition
-
Moon–Rahu creates fear and anxiety
-
Moon–Ketu creates detachment and confusion
-
Strong Moon gives deep emotional recall
Past-life karma flows primarily through the Moon (mind + water), not through the Sun.
6. Why the North-East Reflects Karma First
The North-East (Ishanya) is:
-
The entry point of cosmic energy
-
The zone of consciousness
-
Dominated by Water element
-
Governed by Jupiter and Ketu together
This makes North-East extremely sensitive.
Role of Jupiter in North-East
-
Represents wisdom, guidance, clarity, and higher understanding
-
When balanced → growth and right direction
-
When disturbed → confusion, wrong advice, blocked wisdom
Role of Ketu in North-East
-
Represents past-life karma, detachment, and stored memory
-
Ketu is moksha-oriented and works silently
-
When disturbed → unresolved karmic loops, emotional emptiness, repetition
Jupiter shows how we should grow;
Ketu shows what we are carrying from the past.
That is why North-East becomes the mirror of karmic memory.
7. “Same Problems in the Family” — Why It Happens
When a family repeatedly faces:
-
Similar marriage issues
-
Similar health problems
-
Similar emotional struggles
-
Similar financial instability
…it indicates ancestral karmic memory still flowing.
This memory:
-
Is carried through water principle
-
Gets activated in the North-East
-
Repeats until consciously neutralized
8. Family Karma vs Individual Past-Life Karma
Family / Ancestral Karma
-
Affects multiple family members
-
Repeats across generations
-
Often linked to structural or long-term NE issues
Individual Past-Life Karma
-
Affects one person more strongly
-
Emotional or mental in nature
-
Linked to energetic imbalance in NE
Same zone, different depth.
9. Why Underground Water Is Extremely Sensitive
Underground water:
-
Is static
-
Receives no sunlight
-
Holds memory for decades
Old wells, blocked borewells, or disturbed underground water can activate dormant karmic patterns, sometimes across generations.
This is why Vastu texts advise extreme caution with water sources.
10. Deep-Level Remedies for North-East (Immediate but Safe)
These remedies do not activate karma—they neutralize it.
1. Removal and Lightness (Foundation Step)
-
Remove clutter and heavy objects
-
Avoid storage, junk, and darkness
-
Keep the zone open and clean
A heavy North-East traps memory.
2. Salt–Water Karmic Reset (72-Hour Method)
-
Glass bowl with fresh water + rock salt
-
Place in North-East on a wooden base
-
Keep for 72 hours, then discard water
Effect:
-
Emotional release
-
Mental lightness
-
Reduction in subconscious pressure
(Do this once a month maximum.)
3. Silence Remedy (Most Powerful)
-
Sit silently in North-East for 7 minutes
-
Early morning preferred
-
No mantra, no phone
Karma dissolves faster in stillness than in action.
4. Rock Crystal (Memory Neutralizer)
-
Place a clear crystal in North-East
-
No idols or heavy objects around it
Crystal does not store memory—it neutralizes it, making it safe.
5. Limited Diya (Controlled Fire)
-
Small ghee diya
-
Only 5–7 minutes
-
Once or twice a week
Fire clarifies water memory without over-activation.
6. Language Correction (Often Ignored)
Stop repeating:
“This always happens with us.”
Replace with:
“Old patterns are now dissolving.”
Words directly affect Moon-water memory.
11. What to Avoid in North-East
-
Continuous fountains
-
Loud chanting or speakers
-
Heavy idols
-
Red or dark blue colors
-
Heat-producing appliances
These re-activate past-life memory instead of releasing it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Does water itself create karma?
No.
Water does not create or punish. It only carries what already exists.
Q2. Is physical water mandatory in North-East?
No.
Flow, lightness, and calmness are more important than physical water.
Q3. Can North-East defects affect only one person?
Yes.
Individual past-life karma often affects one person more strongly.
Q4. Why does silence work better than rituals?
Because karma is stored in the subconscious, and silence directly accesses it.
Q5. Is Ketu always negative in North-East?
No.
Ketu is a moksha planet. When balanced, it helps release karma instead of repeating it.
Conclusion
Water is not just water — it is memory in motion.
And:
North-East is not a problem area; it is a reflection point.
When the North-East becomes light, calm, and conscious:
-
Emotional grip weakens
-
Repeating patterns loosen
-
Karma begins to dissolve naturally
True correction is not about forcing change—
it is about restoring flow and awareness.
