9 forms of Goddess Durga (Navadurga) are symbolically mapped with the 9 directions (dikpalas) of Vastu. Each form governs a specific direction and its associated energy, and invoking Her can harmonize and correct imbalances in that zone. Here’s the correlation: East (Purva) Shailputri Represents grounding and stability. Strengthens family foundation, removes Vastu dosha related to health and vitality. Southeast (Agneya) Brahmacharini Governs fire element (Agni). Enhances discipline, removes obstacles in studies, improves relationships and energy balance in the kitchen/fire zone. South (Dakshin) Chandraghanta Brings courage and protection. Balances fear, anger, and aggression. Supports strength against negativity. Southwest (Nairitya) Kushmanda Governs stability, prosperity, and ancestral blessings. Corrects doshas in SW (the most important Vastu corner). Increases wealth and health. West (Paschim) Skandamata Ensures growth of children, creativity, and opportunities. Helps remove blockages in progress and career. Northwest (Vayavya) Katyayani Controls relationships, partnerships, and marriage. Corrects instability in NW direction, bringing harmony and strength in alliances. North (Uttara) Kalratri Destroys negative energies, evil eyes, and hidden enemies. Protects wealth, career, and divine blessings. Northeast (Ishan) Mahagauri Brings purity, peace, and spiritual upliftment. Very important for pooja/meditation room. Enhances knowledge and clarity. Center (Brahmasthan) Siddhidatri Governs balance of all 8 directions. Bestows siddhis (fulfillment), harmony, and cosmic alignment in the house. Place images or yantras of the respective Devi in each Vastu zone. Offer simple remedies (diya, mantra, flowers, donation) in that direction. Meditate or chant the respective Devi’s mantra facing the direction to balance its energy.
