The ancient scriptures describe three different conditions regarding the position of Vaastupurusha’s head:

1. Nitya(daily) vaastu, wherein Vaastupurusha alternates the position of his head between right and left approximately every three hours.

2. Chara (moving) vaastu, wherein Vaastupurusha changes his head position once every three months.

3. Sthira (stable) vaastu, wherein Vaastupurusha’s head is permanently established towards the Northeast direction.

Nitya (daily) vastu

It refers to daily movement of vastu purush. The gaze of vastu purush changes every three hours in a day, He completes one full rotation of 360° in a day, remaining for three hours each in all of the eight directions. Human mind and body also undergo changes on a daily cycle basis. The energy and alertness of mind reaches its lowest peak when we go to bed.

Chara (moving) Vastu

Second type of vastu is called chara vastu or moving body. The vastu purush lies on his side in one direction for full three months and keeps on rotating in a clockwise direction.

it is clear from the above table that change of position of vastu purush is closely linked to the various seasonal change. Seasons change and so changes the intensity of the forces in a span of one year. These seasonal changes, in turn, have great effect on human body. So happens with the body of vastu purush. Different seasons have different level and direction of pranic forces. Ayurveda – the science of happy and long life – prescribes special diet for different seasons.

In the months of mid August to November (Bhadrapad, Ashwin, and Kartik) Vaastupurusha stay in this position pointing your head towards East and feet towards West, 
In the months of mid November to February (Margashirsh, Poush and Magh) pointing head towards South and feet towards North while looking towards West.
In the months of mid February to May (Falgun, Chaitra and  Vaishak) pointing head towards West and feet towards East while looking towards North.
In the months of mid May to August (Jeshtha, Ashadh and Shrawan) stay lying down keeping your head towards North and feet towards South while looking towards East.

Sthira (stable) Vastu

The positions of vastu purush along NE and SW is supposed to be his permanent body position. This is the most impertinent vastu position. It is the sthira or permanent position of any construction for all seasons throughout the year. His head is on the NE, his right arm on the SE, his feet are on the SW and his left arm is on the NW.

We can related Vastu principals with our life style in following manner 

North-East: In morning, from 3:00 am to 6:00 am, Sun is in the North-East part of house. This patch of time between 3:00 am to 6:00 am is called as Brahma Mahurat and is best for meditation, yoga, exercise or study. Hence North-East part of a home is best suited for a Puja/prayer room, living room or even study room.

East: The Sun remains from 6:00 am to 9:00 am in East portion of a home, this time is best to get ready for the day ahead and hence East is best suitable for a bathroom (only bathroom, not toilet). However, this portion can also be used for living room, unmarried children’s bedroom, guest bedroom, dining room, Puja room and even study room.

South-East: 9:00 am to 12:00 noon is the time when Sun is in the South-East part of home and this time is best for preparing food and going to job. Hence this location is best suited to place a kitchen, office or unmarried son’s bedroom in a home.

South: The time between 12 noon and 3:00 pm is time to work, during this time the Sun is in southern portion of a building and hence this location is good for office. In this portion, the intensity of sunlight is very high and hence South can also be used as a store room, staircase and even toilets.

South-West: Post lunch is the time to rest i.e. from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. During this time the sun is in South-West portion of a home and hence this location is best for master bedroom. Also a staircase or strong room can be located here.
West: The time between 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm is best time to relax and dine. That’s why this is the best location to have dining room in a home. One can also use this portion to locate children’s bedroom, prayer room, study room or a staircase.
