Navratri Remedies by Planet: Easy Remedies for Venus, Saturn, Mars and Other Grahas

Every Navratri, astrologers face the same question: Since this time is supposed to be auspicious, is there a simple way to appease the troublesome planet? Most Vedic astrologers agree that the answer is yes, and Navratri makes it easy to plan everything.

The concept of Navratri remedies through planets works this way. Each day is dedicated to a particular form of the deity Durga, and you perform only one simple remedy, like a donation or a mantra, on that day. Shardiya Navratri 2026 lasts from 11 October to 19 October. Here's a complete guide that only uses simple and relaxing treatments, which don’t require any special rites or too much effort.

How Navratri and the Nine Planets Connect

Navadurga, nine forms of Goddess Durga, is related to the nine planets of the universe called Navagraha, and thus, Navratri is considered the right period for planetary remedies. The pairing given below is only one of the several existing ones based on various traditions and sources and thus is only a guideline and not a hard and fast rule. You can perform each planet’s remedy separately on the specific weekday of Navratri, for example, Mars on Tuesday, Saturn on Saturday, etc.

Nine Planets, Nine Nights: Simple Remedy for Each Planet

Moon (Day 1, Maa Shailaputri): The Moon rules mind and emotions. Donate rice, milk or white items, and chant Om Chandraya Namah. Keeping a calm, regular routine through the nine days supports this planet too.

Mars (Day 2, Maa Brahmacharini): Mars governs energy, courage and temper. Donate red lentils (masoor dal) or red cloth, recite the Hanuman Chalisa, and consciously practise patience. Tuesday is its own day.

Venus (Day 3, Maa Chandraghanta, 13 October): Venus rules love, comfort and harmony, and it is retrograde through this entire Navratri. Offer white flowers to the Goddess, donate white sweets, rice or clothes, and worship Goddess Lakshmi. Friday is its day, and the retrograde makes it a good time to slow down on relationship and money decisions.

Sun (Day 4, Maa Kushmanda): The Sun stands for vitality, confidence and authority. Offer water to the rising sun, chant the Gayatri Mantra or Om Suryaya Namah, and donate wheat or jaggery.

Mercury (Day 5, Maa Skandamata): Mercury governs speech, learning and business. Donate green moong dal or green clothes, feed green fodder to cows, and worship Lord Ganesha or Vishnu. Wednesday is its day.

Jupiter (Day 6, Maa Katyayani): Jupiter represents wisdom, guidance and blessings. Donate yellow items, chana dal or turmeric, respect teachers and elders, and chant Om Gurave Namah. Thursday is its day.

Saturn (Day 7, Maa Kalaratri, 17 October): Saturn rules discipline, karma and delay, and Day 7 falls on a Saturday this year. Donate black sesame, mustard oil, blankets or footwear to those in need, light a mustard oil lamp, and chant Om Shanaishcharaya Namah. This day is especially relevant to those running Sade Sati, currently Moon signs Aquarius, Pisces and Aries.

Rahu (Ashtami, Maa Mahagauri): Rahu is linked with confusion, ambition and sudden change. Worship Goddess Durga with sincerity, donate food or a blanket, feed birds, and chant Om Rahave Namah. Avoid shortcuts and impulsive decisions.

Ketu (Navami, Maa Siddhidatri): Ketu stands for detachment, spirituality and past karma. Worship Lord Ganesha, donate a blanket or sesame seeds, feed a stray dog, and chant Om Ketave Namah. Because Ashtami and Navami fall very close together in 2026, check a local Panchang for exact timings.

How to Do an Upay Properly

A few principles apply to every remedy:

- Keep it simple and sincere. One small, consistent act is worth more than an elaborate one done grudgingly.

- Donate with dignity. Give fresh, usable items directly to someone who needs them.

- Chant calmly. 11 or 108 repetitions of the mantra, with attention, is plenty.

- Check before wearing gemstones. Gemstones are a separate, more personal remedy, and they should only be worn after an astrologer reviews the full chart.

Which Planet Actually Needs Attention?

Not all planets require a solution, and attempting to use all nine remedies for everyone is the same as using every single medicine present in the cupboard. The planets that need the remedies the most are those that are affected weakly, in a malefic position, or currently in a crucial phase in your own horoscope. Generate your own kundli to find out where the planets are positioned or consult with an astrologer at HiAstro to learn which of the remedies is applicable in your case.

A Balanced Note on Remedies

Remedies may be an effective means of directing one’s wish or showing generosity, and many people discover that a daily mantra, small donation, or quiet habit helps them be calm during difficult times. However, remedies are not a substitute for practical actions, medical care or financial planning. It is better to be cautious with people who guarantee you success or pressure you to spend a lot on the ritual, as simple kindness and consistency are the keys to the majority of remedies.
