Did you know that placing a wall clock in the wrong direction at home can lead to unrest, negative energy, and discord? According to astrologers, clocks should not be placed in the south direction, as it is associated with Yama, the deity of death.

According to Vastu, placing a clock in any certain direction has its potential effects. Here are a few places or directions where a clock should not be placed and the ideal directions for placing one.

Astrologers advise against placing clocks in the south direction, as it is believed to attract negative energy, leading to discord and financial loss in the household. If there is no other option, a clock can be placed in the south-east corner instead.

Furthermore, clocks should not be placed on the south-west wall of the bedroom or kitchen. The north or east direction is considered more favourable for bedroom clocks, as placing one in the south-west may lead to health issues. Similarly, positioning a clock in this direction in the kitchen could increase mental unrest.

The east direction, associated with the Sun, symbolises new energy and positivity. Placing a clock on the east wall helps keep family members motivated and reduces mental stress, making it especially beneficial for students and working professionals. If preferred, a clock can also be placed on the west wall. However, ensure that it is always functioning and not stopped. The west direction represents hard work and stability, enhancing efficiency. However, a stopped clock in this direction may bring obstacles in life.
