Mumbai: In Vastu Shastra, many plants are believed to bring positive energy and divine blessings into a home. Among them, the Crassula plant is said to symbolise Goddess Lakshmi herself, and the sacred Tulsi holds a revered place in Hindu households. However, there’s one particular plant that holds a special place not just in Vastu but also in astrology — the rose. Its fragrant blooms are believed to be dear to Goddess Lakshmi and many other deities. The rose is also deeply associated with the planet Venus, the ruler of love, beauty, and luxury.
According to Vastu experts, the rose is much more than just a symbol of romance — it is considered a magnet for prosperity and harmonious relationships. Its aroma and beauty are believed to attract positive vibrations and abundance. In both Vastu and astrology, the rose flower has been recommended in various rituals, especially on Fridays, the day ruled by Venus and dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi.
Why the Rose Plant Is Considered Auspicious in Vastu
Experts in Vastu Shastra say that planting a rose bush at home brings positivity and wealth. The plant’s fragrance uplifts the environment and is said to attract Goddess Lakshmi’s grace. Using rose petals, rose water, and rose-scented perfumes is also believed to purify the surroundings and enhance spiritual energy.
Rose petals play a special role in romantic relationships. Placing rose petals in the bedroom or using them in Vastu-based remedies is believed to strengthen the bond between partners. For those seeking to improve love and intimacy in marriage, these practices are seen as highly effective.
Where to Place a Rose Plant According to Vastu
Experts advise planting the rose plant in the southwest direction of the house. Doing so is said to enhance marital harmony and attract the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Red roses, in particular, hold strong significance and are believed to draw the goddess closer when offered with devotion.
Fridays are considered especially powerful for rose-related rituals. Offering a rose flower to Lakshmi on a Friday is said to resolve financial troubles and invite wealth and success. Burning rose petals with camphor is another simple yet powerful ritual believed to purify the home’s energy and elevate positivity.
The rose is not only an emblem of love but a powerful tool for creating a prosperous and peaceful home. If you bring home a rose plant this Friday and place it in the southwest corner, Vastu suggests that it could bring lasting abundance and joy. Homes that house this plant are believed to witness rising respect and honour for both the man and woman of the household.
