Written by the Astro Sanjivani Team | Vedic Astrology Practitioners with 10+ years of experience in Jyotish, Gemstone Therapy & Spiritual Guidance. 🔮 Planetary Remedies & Daily Sadhana
You don’t need expensive pujas or rare gemstones to work with the planets. Some of the most effective remedies in Jyotish are small, free, daily acts you can do at home — a diya here, a glass of water offered there.
Graha Shanti means pacifying and harmonising the planets, and it doesn’t have to be elaborate or costly. Each of the nine planets responds to simple, gentle daily practices tied to its weekday, colour, and nature. This guide shares simple daily remedies for each planet you can do at home — affordable, accessible, and gentle — while being honest about doing them wisely.
Quick Answer
Simple daily planetary remedies include lighting a diya, offering water, wearing a planet’s colour, chanting its mantra, giving small charity, and serving others on the planet’s weekday — Sun on Sunday, Moon on Monday, and so on. These gentle Graha Shanti practices are free and accessible, best focused on the planets your chart benefits from.
Key Takeaways
- Graha Shanti (harmonising the planets) can be simple and free.
- Each planet responds to its weekday, colour, mantra, and charity.
- Daily acts — a diya, water, a mantra, small charity — add up.
- Gentle remedies are universally safe and accessible.
- Focus on strengthening the planets your chart benefits from.
Why This Matters
Many people want to work with their planets but can’t afford gemstones or elaborate pujas. Daily remedies cost nothing but intention and a few minutes. Understanding which simple practice suits each planet makes this powerful tradition accessible to everyone — gently and sustainably.
How Daily Graha Shanti Works
Each planet governs a weekday, a colour, a grain, a mantra, and certain acts of charity. By honouring a planet on its day — through a small ritual, mantra, offering, or service — you gently strengthen or harmonise its energy. These daily acts are the most accessible form of Graha Shanti, requiring devotion and consistency rather than money.
Remedies by Weekday and Planet
Sunday (Sun): offer water to the rising sun, wear red/orange, chant the Surya mantra. Monday (Moon): offer water or milk to Shiva, wear white, chant the Chandra mantra. Tuesday (Mars): worship Hanuman, wear red. Wednesday (Mercury): feed green fodder to cows, wear green. Thursday (Jupiter): honour your guru/elders, wear yellow, offer to Vishnu. Friday (Venus): honour women, wear white. Saturday (Saturn): serve the needy, light a mustard-oil lamp, wear black/blue.
🔍 Did You Know? The seven days of the week are named after the seven classical planets — Sunday for the Sun, Monday (Moon-day) for the Moon, and so on — which is exactly why each day carries its planet’s remedy.
Gentle Universal Practices
Beyond planet-specific acts, some daily practices harmonise all the grahas: lighting a diya, keeping a clean altar, offering water, feeding animals and birds, respecting elders, honesty, and small daily charity. These are universally safe and deeply beneficial, and form a wonderful base for anyone beginning Graha Shanti at home.
Doing It Wisely
One honest caution: these practices strengthen a planet’s energy, so for daily devotion, gentle universal acts are safest for everyone. If you want to focus on a specific planet — especially a functional malefic — it’s wise to confirm with a practitioner first, as over-strengthening a difficult planet can backfire. Charity and service, however, are safe and beneficial across the board.

What Most Websites Get Wrong
Most remedy lists mix gentle practices with powerful or risky ones (like fasting hard or strengthening malefics) without any caution, implying more is always better. The honest view is that gentle daily acts and charity are universally safe, while strengthening a specific planet — especially a malefic — should be confirmed with a practitioner.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Strengthening a functional malefic without analysis.
- Doing remedies once instead of consistently.
- Treating remedies as a substitute for effort and action.
- Over-fasting or extreme practices in the name of upay.
- Chasing elaborate rituals while skipping simple daily devotion.
Myth vs Reality
Myth: The more intense and elaborate the remedy, the better it works.
Reality: Gentle, consistent daily practices — a diya, a mantra, small charity, service — are safe and deeply effective. Intensity isn’t the point; devotion and consistency are. Strengthening a specific planet, especially a malefic, needs a practitioner’s guidance.
Practitioner Insight
In our consultations at Astro Sanjivani, we often notice people hoping for one dramatic remedy, when quiet daily devotion does more. We guide clients toward gentle, consistent practices and universal acts of charity and service. Those who build a small daily routine almost always report feeling steadier and more connected.
Real-Life Example
A client we’ll call Geeta felt scattered and sought a ‘powerful’ remedy. We suggested a simple daily routine instead — lighting a diya, offering water, a short mantra on each planet’s day, and small charity on Saturdays. Over a few weeks she felt calmer and more grounded, and valued how sustainable it was. We framed daily Graha Shanti as gentle support for her own efforts, not a magic fix. Names and identifying details have been changed for privacy.
How To Know If This Applies To You
If you want to work with your planets affordably and gently, this is for you. Build a small daily altar routine, honour each planet on its day, add universal acts of charity and service, and confirm any specific-planet focus with a practitioner.

Trust & Disclaimer
Astrology provides guidance and insight rather than certainty. Individual outcomes depend on personal choices, actions, and circumstances. Remedies should ideally be personalised through detailed chart analysis.
