Astrological Remedies: Balancing Planetary Doshas
Vedic astrology offers powerful remedies to balance challenging planetary influences. These time-tested practices can help harmonize cosmic energies and improve various life areas.
Types of Astrological Remedies
Gemstone Therapy
Wearing specific gemstones strengthens weak planets and enhances their positive effects:
- • Ruby (Sun) - Leadership, vitality
- • Pearl (Moon) - Emotional balance, peace
- • Red Coral (Mars) - Energy, courage
- • Emerald (Mercury) - Intelligence, communication
- • Yellow Sapphire (Jupiter) - Wisdom, prosperity
- • Diamond (Venus) - Love, luxury

Mantra Chanting
Reciting planetary mantras creates positive vibrations and strengthens planetary energies. Each planet has specific mantras that should be chanted on their respective days.
Charity & Donations
Donating items associated with afflicted planets on specific days helps reduce negative effects. For example, donating black items on Saturdays for Saturn-related issues.
Fasting & Rituals
Observing fasts on specific days dedicated to planets helps appease them. Performing pujas and homas (fire rituals) are powerful remedies for serious doshas.
Yantra Worship
Yantras are sacred geometric diagrams that channel planetary energies. Keeping and worshipping specific yantras can strengthen beneficial planets.
