Why January 2026 Is Special for Vastu Cleansing

From an energy perspective, January represents: Closure of old cycles, Beginning of new vibrations, Mental and karmic cleansing, and Stabilization of intentions.  Numerologically, 2026 is a Number 1 year, symbolizing new beginnings, while January carries Number 2 energy, representing emotional balance and stability.

Vastu Principle: Whatever energy dominates your home in January tends to repeat itself throughout the year. That is why, Ignored clutter becomes long-term stagnation, Clean, balanced spaces attract steady growth, and broken items invite repeated obstacles.
