Best placed in the West
West is a settled, accepted placement for a child’s room and is often preferred for older children — the tradition reads it as steadiness after effort, which suits exam years.
What the West governs
West is Varuna’s direction, associated with gains that arrive late and with stability after effort. It takes weight comfortably, and it is one of the two directions the tradition is relaxed about for utilities.
Where the Children’s bedroom belongs
A child’s room is read differently from the master bedroom: it wants movement, growth and morning light rather than weight. The tradition is also more relaxed here, and school-age and adult children are often placed differently.
