New Delhi: Astrology, palmistry and what the future has in store for you has always held people's fancy. But how about the 'horoscope' of the dwelling you are staying in?
"Every house has a story to tell about what the future holds for each of its members," says Neeta Sinha an astro-architect and who has pioneered the concept of introducing astrology into archeology.
House Horoscope takes into account the general layout of the place like where it is situated, whether it is one or multi-storeyed, the number of windows and doors available, ownership pattern -- rented, privately owned or a company flat -- and the owners name to suggest things related to the house.
"Based on these things, I determine what is wrong with a house, how much good is present in it and how to rid it of the bad" says Neeta.
Vaastu and Feng-Shui experts, however, dismiss the house horoscope.
It is same with different names, says Mumbai based Vaastu expert Kavita Laul who also gives consultancy in house horoscopes.
"The house horoscope is a mixture of three elements astrology, Vaastu and Feng-Shui with architectural knowledge applied to it to give a perfect balance," she says.
"I don't even need to visit someone in person to help them. I study the architectural plans or maps of the house to know where the trouble lies," says Neeta.
And finally Feng-Shu the problem solver comes into play.
"My cure for all illness of the house is Feng-Shu. I don't believe in structural changes. These changes are difficult to adhere to and may take time to bring the right result," she says.
"These horoscopes don't predict anything. They just balance out the negative energies to make your way for positive ones to better your life and turn the wheel of fortune in your favour. It balances the house by opening out the blocks and solve problems.
"People often have queries related to their health and finances and whether it is influenced by their house, she says.
However, astrologers totally deny the fact that there can be horoscopes for a house.
"I don't accept that you can make house horoscopes. Horoscopes are only possible for human beings. You need a date and time for a horoscope and that determines what your life will be and what you will be," says Pandit Shiv Narayan, an astrologer.
