The Vastu Purusha Mandala may be more easily understood when re-oriented as shown at the left when considering the following excerpt from Wikipedia:
Accordingly—with due respect to ecological friendliness with the subtle forces of the spirit—those spaces (quarters) are assigned as follows: northeast for the home shrine, southeast for the kitchen, southwest for the master bedroom and northwest for the storage of grains. The spaces lying between the corner zones, measuring 4x5=20 squares (5 on each side), are those of the north, east, south and west. They are meant for multi purposes.
