Where should the Toilet be, according to Vastu?

Vastu places the toilet ideally in the North-West. West, South, and South-East are acceptable alternatives. Placing it in the North-East, Center (Brahmasthan), South-West, North, and East is considered inauspicious, and in the North-East it is treated as a critical defect.

Why

A toilet must never burden the sacred North-East (Ishanya), the central Brahmasthan, or the stabilising South-West (Nairutya). The North-West is the appropriate quarter; West, South, or South-East are workable compromises. The North and East, which must stay light and pure, are also unsuitable.

Already built that way?

Relocate the toilet out of the North-East/center/South-West. If structurally impossible, keep the door shut, maintain strong ventilation, place a Vastu remedy (e.g., a lead/copper strip or salt bowl), and never site a pooja space adjacent.
