Vastu Mirror Tips: Nowadays, installing mirrors in your home isn't just for decoration or looks; it directly impacts the energy of your home. People often think that a mirror is merely a reflector, so what difference can it make? But from a Vastu perspective, this mirror can transform your progress, relationships, and even the atmosphere of your home. Many homes strive to have a large mirror in every room to make the space appear larger and enhance lighting. Meanwhile, many people thoughtlessly install mirrors wall-to-wall, which ultimately disrupts the energy. Vastu believes that mirrors magnify and reflect any energy around them—whether good or bad.

This means that if there is positive energy in the home, a mirror will multiply it. However, if there is tension, conflict, or negative energy in the home, it can also increase it. Therefore, the answer to how many mirrors should be in a home depends on the placement, direction, and size of the mirrors. These days, it's common to install multiple mirrors, but is it always right? Can mirrors be placed in every direction? Is it appropriate to have a mirror in the bedroom? These questions are on almost everyone's mind. So, let's learn from Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma how many mirrors are considered appropriate in a home and in which direction they should be placed to avoid negative effects.

How many mirrors are appropriate in a home?
Vaastu doesn't have any specific restrictions on the number of mirrors. You can install more than one mirror in your home, just keep in mind that their location and direction should be correct. If your mirror reflects something auspicious—like a lush green plant, a beautiful natural picture, a money chest, or a clean corner—more mirrors enhance that positive energy. This promotes growth, peace, and good fortune in the home. However, this doesn't mean you should install mirrors on every wall. Too many mirrors can create confusion, unwanted energy, and a slight uneasiness, especially if two mirrors face each other. This causes the energy reflection to rotate in a circular motion, which can increase unrest and tension in the home.

Which direction is auspicious to place a mirror?
1. North - The direction of wealth
The north direction is considered to be the direction of Kubera, the god of wealth. A mirror placed in this direction enhances the financial energy of the home. If your safe or cash box is placed in this direction and its positive reflection is visible in the mirror, it can increase prosperity in the home.

2. East - Happiness and Health
The east direction is always considered a symbol of new beginnings, health, and positivity. A mirror placed in this direction makes the home's atmosphere light, clean, and energetic. A mirror placed in front of the dining area is also considered auspicious because it magnifies the amount of food, which is associated with food abundance.

Where should mirrors not be placed?
1. Directly in front of the bedroom
If your face or entire body is visible in the mirror while sleeping in the bedroom, it is considered inauspicious according to Vastu. This can increase tension, arguments, and unwanted pressure in the relationship between husband and wife. If removing the mirror is not possible, cover it with a cloth at night.

2. In front of the main door
The mirror pushes the positive energy that comes into the house from the main door back out. This can hinder growth in the home and cause the situation to deteriorate repeatedly.

3. Two mirrors facing each other
The energy constantly reflected from these mirrors swirls like a vortex, which can cause mental stress and unrest in the home.

-Replace broken or foggy mirrors immediately.
-Avoid very small mosaic mirrors; they fragment the energy.
-Only a large, clean, and good-quality mirror improves the energy of the house.
