Learn Vastu and astrology visually

Start with 4 directions, then 8, 16 and 32

Begin with a simple compass: North is 0° / 360°, East 90°, South 180° and West 270°. Bearings increase clockwise. In the studio, select a direction to highlight it and see its centre and boundaries.

1. 4 directions: North, East, South and West. Each main-direction sector spans 90°.
2. 8 directions: add Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest. Each sector spans 45°.
3. 16 Vastu zones: divide the compass into 22.5° sectors, including NNE, ENE and the other intermediate zones.
4. 32 entrance sectors: explore eight labelled entrance sectors within each 90° main-direction sector. Each is 11.25° wide; check the displayed start and end bearings rather than treating its label as a wall measurement.

For example, the 16-zone North sector crosses the zero point: 348.75° → 11.25°. This is why its centre is 0°, not the midpoint of those two numbers on a straight number line. An actual property still needs its own boundary, north direction and measured scale; the classroom compass is a teaching reference.

Explore 45 devtas and the five-element board

The devta board uses an 81-pada mandala with 45 devta regions. Choose a devta to highlight its related cells together and discuss the topic beside the diagram. The grid cells and devta regions are not the same count: one region can occupy several cells.

The five-element board has separate Creation and Control views. Follow one highlighted arrow at a time, explain the relationship, and add an everyday example to your notes. These are traditional teaching models; distinguish the selected method from measurements of a building or physical scientific laws.

A 3D solar system for learning planetary motion

Open the interactive Cosmic Atlas to explore planets up close, switch to an Earth-centred zodiac view, or look at orbits from the Sun. Choose a date, time and UTC offset, then play, pause or move the timeline to compare positions.

The retrograde demonstration explains why a planet can appear to move backwards against the distant background as Earth and the planet move around the Sun. This apparent change of direction is not the planet reversing its orbit, and increasing distance alone does not define retrograde motion.

The viewer accepts dates from 1900 to 2100. It calculates a date-based illustration, not a live telescope feed. Planet sizes are enlarged for teaching; the Earth-centred display also simplifies distances. It does not calculate a birthplace-specific horizon, Lagna or houses, and changing it does not change a saved kundli.

How 27 nakshatras fit into 12 rashis

The equal divisions used in this lesson share the same 360° circle:

• 12 rashis × 30° = 360°.
• 27 nakshatras × 13°20′ = 360°.
• Each nakshatra has 4 padas of 3°20′, giving 108 padas altogether.
• Each rashi therefore contains 9 padas, and some nakshatras cross a rashi boundary.

Try selecting Mesha / Aries: its nine padas comprise all four of Ashwini, all four of Bharani and the first pada of Krittika. Krittika's remaining three padas fall in Vrishabha / Taurus. Use the nakshatra selector to see the split instead of memorising the counts separately.

The nakshatra drawings are teaching symbols, not measured star maps. These equal zodiac divisions are also different from compass bearings and from astronomical constellation boundaries.

Build a lesson in your own teaching style

1. Find a topic. Use Education search or choose a board: directions, devtas, planets, Bhav, Rashi, Tarot or Angel Guidance.
2. Add it to your class. Edit the lesson text, include your own points and give examples. Add your teacher name and method so students know whose explanation they are viewing.
3. Explain on the Smart Board. Use typed Hindi or English text, arrows, lines and shapes with blank, zone, devta or kundli templates.
4. Save and present. Name the class, save it, then use presentation mode to move through your selected topics. Save the class again after adding board work.

Learn Tarot and original Angel Guidance cards

The Tarot section supports card-symbol discussion with upright and reversed study notes. Angel Guidance includes VastuGrid's original Inner Light cards, illustrations and reflection prompts. Both can be used as class topics; they do not establish certain future events.
