The whole universe is made up of the basic Five elements i.e. water , space, fire, earth, air. These elements are affecting the objects knowingly or unknowingly. The effect of these elements are observed on the Earth to a larger degree than the other planets. The nature on Earth is made up of these five elements.If these forces are kept in their correct places, things will be in natural balance. However, if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination, the forces will start acting accordingly and create disharmony and discord.

Before construction of any establishment, sixty percent (60%) of earth , fifteen  percent  (15%) of space(sky)  and rest twenty five percent (25%) of water, fire and air  are to be considered. Earth  is divided into two parts upper the earth  and under the earth. Generally the vastu based establishments are being constructed  by leaving  under the earth and upper the earth  which is a major portion of  Vaastushastra. In Vaastushastra construction of any establishments  is observed in seven phases which are as follows : 

1.Personality or nature of job  of the  inhabitant.

2.Upper  the earth. 

3.Under the earth.

4.Construction of establishment on Vedic system.

5.Placement of materials into the establishment.

6. Influence of sky.

7.Garden ( if any). 

According to Vaastushastra, everything on earth is influenced by the astrological bodies, thus every home is also under the influence of the governing planets.
