Remedies for Challenging Yogas: How to Balance Negative Planetary Combinations
Unfavourable yogas are combinations of planets that bring obstacles or difficulties in life. Yogas usually mark areas where added effort or awareness will be required as they deal with the interaction of planets to induce either positive or negative changes in life. The good news is that their effects can be mitigated through specific remedies, if negative. These work on strengthening positive planets and reducing the impact of antagonistic planets.
1. Gemstones
Wearing gemstones linked to specific planets can help enhance their positive effects. Choose gemstones carefully:
- Ruby for the Sun: Boosts confidence and leadership skills.
- Emerald for Mercury: Improves communication and decision-making.
- Blue Sapphire for Saturn: Provides stability and discipline.
Ensure the gemstone is energized and recommended by an experienced astrologer, as the wrong one can amplify challenges.
2. Mantras
Reciting mantras is a powerful way to reduce the negative effects of planets. Chant these mantras regularly with focus:
- For Saturn (Shani): “Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah”
- For Mars (Mangal): “Om Kram Kreem Kroum Sah Bhaumaya Namah”
- For Rahu: “Om Bhram Bhreem Bhroum Sah Rahave Namah”
Mantras should be repeated at least 108 times daily for best results.
3. Rituals and Offerings
Perform specific rituals to appease challenging planets:
- Saturn: Light a sesame oil lamp on Saturdays and feed the poor.
- Mars: Donate red lentils or red cloth on Tuesdays.
- Rahu and Ketu: Perform prayers or pujas during eclipses or on their designated days (Rahu on Saturdays, Ketu on Tuesdays).
4. Lifestyle Adjustments
Adopt practices that align with planetary energies. For instance:
- For Saturn: Practice patience and hard work.
- For Venus: Focus on building harmonious relationships.
You need to consistently apply these remedies to balance the effects of challenging yogas and bring more stability and growth to your life.
