Vedic astrology is unique in that it gives us many ways to work with thenegative 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 isthrough 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.
