In Vaasthu, any street focus on a plot actually disturbs the bio-electric magnetic field in and around the plot to a great extent, either by amplifying the imbalance in energy dynamics or by attenuating the positive energies.

The street that runs and focuses on to any side of a plot is called a 'spearing street'.  This is also referred to as 'therukuthu' in Southern states and 'veedhi shula' in the 'Northern states. People are generally scared of this particular phenomenon.  The figure shown gives eight directions of street/road focuses on a plot.  All the different types of street focus or 'spearing streets' do not necessarily render bad effects as generally believed.  Out of 12 possible street focuses on a plot, four street focuses on the central portion of any side of a plot are neutral, four are harmful and four are good.  The 'veedhi shula' or street focus, is perhaps, the most powerful of all Vaasthu parameters, especially in fortifying the good/bad powers of Vaasthu.  Several case studies reveal that in both the good and bad 'veedhi shulas', the Vaasthu effects are excessively pronounced.  Some of the Vaasthu properties of different street focuses are summarized in the following table:

Therefore while selecting the plot, one should consider carefully, the magnetic direction in which a road, lane or street is focussed on to the plot.  As can be understood from the table, one can choose plots which have the following street focuses :
 

In ' veethi shulas ' we have considered only single approach roads.  But practically, we may have plots with streets or roads on two sides or all four sides.  In Vaasthu, plots with adjacent roads in the North and West sides promote the owner's prosperity.  A site with roads on three sides is preferred and has some unique advantages, while a plot with roads on all four sides is considered to be the most auspicious.  The Vaasthu effects for various locations of roads in different directions adjacent to a plot are tabulated below :
 

Adjacent Roads Effects of Vaasthu North & East All - round prosperity North & West Prosperity and achievement  South & East Suitable only for certain purposes, provided entry is in the East.  Good for women, organizations and restaurants.  South & West Average good effects South & North Very good if the entry is in the North North, East & West Progress and prosperity East, North & South Promotion in life South, West & East Good for trading and business West, North & South  Growth and expansion All four directions ( NEWS ) Very good
