Clocks. Innocent, wall-hugging, time-ticking citizens of the home. But according to Vastu Shastra, these seemingly harmless timekeepers can go full villain mode if placed in the wrong spot. Not the kind of โJoker energy,โ more like โsilent mood killerโ energy. Itโs not about paranoiaโitโs ancient energy science. So grab a chair (but not the northeast one), and witness the dramatic downfall of badly placed clocks.
1. South Wall โ AKA The Vibe Killer Zone
The south wall might look like prime real estate for that oversized antique clock, but Vastu says โplot twist incoming.โ This direction is ruled by Yamaโthe god of death in Vedic mythologyโand keeping a clock here is like constantly reminding the house that time is running out. Very

level existentialism. Not ideal for peace or productivity.
2. Above the
Putting a clock right above the entrance is like hanging a โtimeโs upโ sign over lifeโs runway. Vastu warns that it subtly encourages energy to
leave
the houseโopportunities, money, and occasionally, common sense. Itโs basically a cosmic unsubscribe button. A dramatic exit, minus the Bollywood slow motion.
3. Bedroom Facing the Bed โ Insomniaโs Sidekick
Want a good nightโs sleep? Donโt let the clock be the last face seen before dreaming of missed deadlines. A clock staring directly at the bed equals silent judgment. It fuels anxiety, overthinking, and those 3 a.m. โWhat is life?โ questions. It’s the visual equivalent of a background score during a horror movieโs buildup.
Bonus tip: Broken or non-functional clocks are like the expired milk of the home decor worldโquietly ruining the vibe. Get them out, or at least give them therapy.
In short: clocks can make or break the energy grid faster than a plot twist in
Sacred Games
. So respect the Vastu, or prepare for the slow but steady unraveling of home harmony.
