Mantras for the Nine
Planets
Vedic astrology is unique
in that it gives us many ways to work with the negative
planetary influences in a chart. There are forms of
ceremonial worship (pujas and yagnas), gemstones, color
therapy, and several other popular methods to mitigate
the karmas in our life. But by far the easiest, most
inexpensive, and powerful way to work with the planets
in our chart is through the use of mantras. When we do
mantra repetition to a planet, we soothe and heal all
the difficult energies of that planet in our life. We
also encourage the positive energies from that same
planet to flow toward us.
