yes, the Sun mainly.  here is a clip from
http://www.alltm.org/pages/neil.html --

"scientific studies in the Journal of Neuroscience (1)
show that the neurons in our brain actually fire
differently depending on the direction we are facing.
There are also "place neurons" in the brain which
signal our body's orientation in a room or environment.
Thus, the way we face influences brain and body functioning.
The ancient knowledge of Sth�patya Veda
goes much further. It describes how our spatial orientation
influences our minds and bodies.
When we live or work in buildings with improper
orientation or proportion, the firing patterns of the neurons
are reset in the wrong way. This can contribute to
anxiety, lack of creativity, failure in family and
professional life, anti-social behaviour, and even
criminal tendencies."
