Favorable periods and times
For a person who is intent upon rewriting the Karmic script brought forward from past lives, the following periods will prove generally more helpful than others.
1. The waning Moon fortnight
2. the fourth or the eighth lunar date in the above period
3. Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays
4. Bharani Nakshatra
5. Solar or lunar eclipses (should be visible in the area)
6. One’s own Birth Nakshatra (The Nakshatra occupied by the Moon at birth)
7. Bhadra, Vaidhriti, Vyatipaat or Krantisaamya
8. Sankranti or the day on which Sun changes sign in the Hindu Panchang.
The days when most of these parameters are available will prove very helpful. For example the fourth or the eighth lunar date of the dark fortnight which happens to be falling on a Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday when an eclipse is taking place will prove very good. The power will improve further if the Nakshatra prevailing on that day happens to be Bharani or one’s own Nakshatra. Bhadra, Vaidhriti, Vyatipaat or Krantisaamya on such a day will increase the potency even more.
Practically speaking days like this will be extremely rare. One should therefore look for convergence of as many factors as possible. Such days are best for removing problems caused by the planets placed adversely in the birth chart. Natural malefics like Mars, Ketu, Saturn and Rahu may or may not fall in the category of a malefic planet depending upon their placement and the prevailing Lagna in a given chart.
Hindu scriptures say that the elimination or control of the bad results originating from adverse planets can be effected by the following actions.
1. Jap (chanting) and Havan (fire ceremony)
2. Jap and Stuti (a verse extolling the virtues of a deity)
3. Donation of appropriate items connected to the planet
4. The Yantra, gemstone and herbs connected to the planet
5. Pooja of Lord Vishnu and Shiva
6. Respect and honor to elderly and erudite people
7. Honor to the deities, people, animals represented by that planet. For example if Saturn is giving bad results in a horoscope, respect and due wages to servants and poor people will make Saturn happy and reduce the severity of the problems caused by him.
Temporal and transcendental deities
Sun, Moon, air, water and earth are temporal deities and one must never desecrate these. Throwing body waste into water bodies causes problems connected to Moon and water signs. Unnecessary and deliberate pollution of earth and air brings needless problems in one’s daily life.
Sun and Moon can be made favorable by honoring parents and people in the age group of parents. Violence and cruelty (whether physical or mental) as also jealousy increase the adverse results of these two deities.
Control over aggression and inherent negativity of one’s temperament please Sun and Moon. Same results are obtained by giving appropriate respect to women.
