16-zone Vastu circle: directions & angles
Explore the 16 Vastu directions with an interactive circle, angle lookup and complete degree chart. North is fixed at the top; every sector spans 22.5°.
North stays at the top. Choose a sector to explore its angle.
N · North
348.75° – 11.25°
Every sector covers 22.5°. A room can cross more than one zone.
Use the circle with a measured floor plan, a consistent north reference and an agreed property centre. The colours help distinguish sectors; they are not room-paint instructions.

Read the map in context
The 16-zone framework divides the circle into equal angles rather than sixteen equally sized rooms. Place the framework over a measured plan using the chosen centre and north line. For irregular outlines, ask the practitioner to explain which centre and boundary are being used.
This is a direction-learning tool. It does not read a device compass or assess a property from a single angle. Discuss actual room uses, fixed services, comfort, permissions and budget before considering changes.
