Vastu Shastra For Mirror Placement: Did you know that a small mirror in your house can change your luck? As per Vastu Shastra, a mirror is not only used for observing your own reflection, but it also attracts and reflects energy. If you install a mirror in the wrong place, it can invite problems and financial issues into your house. Today, let us discuss five locations where installing a mirror is extremely inauspicious. It is essential that you do not commit these errors in order to ensure that peace and prosperity are maintained in your life.
5 Places You Should Never Hang A Mirror
1. Directly Facing The Bed
Your body should not be reflected in the mirror when you are sleeping. As per Vastu Shastra, if the mirror is placed in front of the bed, it will affect your sleep and you may have nightmares. It may also lead to more tension and arguments between you and your spouse. If your room is small and you cannot remove the mirror, it is a good idea to cover it with a cloth while you sleep.
2. On South Or West Wells
Directions play a very significant role in Vastu Shastra. The south and west directions are considered heavy, and hanging a mirror in this direction may result in some unfavourable effects. The mirror should always be hung in the northern or eastern direction. Hanging a mirror in this direction will help open avenues for progress and will also work towards improving health.

3. Directly Opposite To The Entrance Of The Home
The main door of the house is where positive energy enters. If you place a mirror opposite the main door, it reflects all the positive energy outside. This will prevent happiness and wealth from entering the house. Thus, it is always advisable to avoid placing a mirror opposite the main door.
4. Two Mirrors Facing Each Other
Never position two mirrors facing each other. This will create an "infinite loop" of energy that will cause agitation and confusion in the house. This will ensure that the family members remain mentally disturbed and feel tired all the time. The positioning of mirrors is essential in ensuring that peace is maintained in the house.
5. In Front Of Dirty Or Dark Area
The mirror multiplies everything that is reflected in it. If you put it in front of a dark corner, trash can, or clutter, it multiplies the negativity in your house. But always make sure that a beautiful picture, flowers, or plants are reflected in the mirror to multiply happiness and positivity in your life.
