How to Remove Negative Energy Using Astrology: A Complete Guide for Beginners

Have you ever had one of those weeks when nothing appears to go right? You wake up tired even after sleeping eight hours. A small argument turns into a big fight. Money is going through your fingers. And something is wrong, you know, deep inside, but you can't put your finger on it.

It is not in your imagination. What you are experiencing as being heavy may be negative energy, and astrology has been describing it to us for thousands of years.

In this blog we are going to discuss what makes you have bad vibes in your life based on the planets and some really easy astrology cures for negative energy which you can begin using immediately, starting today.

Imagine your body and house are sponges. It soaks up all around it throughout the day. The anger of a workmate, the frustration of a traffic jumble, the stress of an argument in the family. All this gets to you, just like a sponge absorbs water.

Suppose, however, you never squeeze out that sponge. After some time, it begins to smell unpleasantly and ceases to work properly. And that is what will occur when bad things come together around you.

In Vedic astrology, astrological negative energy is related to the planets in your birth chart, the karma you hold onto, and even the energy of your ancestry. Once such forces lose their balance, life begins to feel stifled, draining and unjust.

A Kundali, also known as your birth chart, is a picture of the sky at the time you were born. There are those planets that are teachers per se. They form what astrology refers to as doshas or energy imbalances when weak or in bad places. 

Saturn (Shani):  The largest one is Saturn (Shani). He delays, mentally wears out and puts financial strain on the victims during the Shani Sade Sati phase. It is as though one is walking in mud. You are moving, but it takes ten times more effort. 

Rahu and Ketu: The masters of confusion are Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets. Rahu brings about infatuation and deception. Ketu steals. Whenever they occupy your Lagna or Moon sign and are not covered by a powerful planet, astrological negativity pours in at breakneck speed. You begin to make incorrect choices and become mentally cloudy. 

A weak Moon: A poor Moon results in anxiety, mood swings, and an almost constant sense of sadness due to an unknown cause. The Moon is in control of your head and your inner peace, and therefore, when it is disturbed, everything is disturbed. 

A weak Sun: A bad Sun is stealthily hurtful to your faith. You begin to question yourself, and you do not even know that it is the Sun. 

Negative energy is not necessarily accompanied by some huge alarm. It presents itself most often in the form of the same fight with your partner repeating itself, good opportunities being lost at the last moment, being disturbed by weird dreams, and some of the parts of your home seeming to be uncomfortable without any apparent reason. The work is not progressing even with your best efforts, and somewhere deep within you, you continue to think that this is not the life you were meant to be living. When a good number of these seem familiar, then it is worthwhile to ask whether a planetary imbalance is hiding behind all this.

Pitra Dosha is a term unfamiliar to many, yet it is among the most widespread causes of negative energy that is so stubborn that it never leaves. In plain terms, when our ancestors committed great mistakes or inflicted pain on people during their lives, the karma does not cease with them. It is transmitted to the subsequent generations according to Vedic astrology and may influence family members for as many as seven generations on the paternal side. 

Think of it like an old unpaid loan. The cosmos continues to remind the family till someone gets out to clear it. The symptoms of Pitra Dosha are quite close to the indications of negative energy in astrology overall: illnesses that cannot be medically attributed, marriages that are delayed, financial setbacks that no longer leave, and accidents that recur throughout the years in the family. 

What you can do: Feed crows and street dogs on Saturdays, because both are related to ancestral karma in our tradition. In Pitra Paksha, the 15 days that normally fall in September or October, perform Shradh rituals or at least light a diya, pour water and recite the names of your ancestors. The best antidote of all is to take good care of your parents and older relatives, and it will work quicker than most folks would think.

The most simple and effective technique to remove negative energy according to astrology is to tie small everyday activities to the ruling planet of each day of the week. Even a modest offering on the correct day will calm that planet in your life. 

Sunday is ruled by the Sun. Present water to the rising Sun in the morning and recite Om Suryaya Namah, particularly when you have to work with low confidence or problems with your father.

Monday is ruled by the Moon. On Mondays, milk or raw rice should be offered to Lord Shiva, and you should make some efforts to spend a few minutes in the nearby area of a water body to calm down. 

Tuesday is ruled by Mars. Reciting Hanuman Chalisa and offering masoor dal on Tuesdays can be useful to individuals who have Mangal Dosha and those who experience frequent fights or accidents. 

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. Giving moong dal to a cow or feeding green grass to a cow helps with overthinking, confusion in business and communication issues. 

Thursday is ruled by Jupiter. Gifting of yellow flowers and haldi to Lord Vishnu fortifies Jupiter and is highly beneficial in case of education, postponed marriages, and childbirth. 

Friday is ruled by Venus. Gifting Goddess Lakshmi with white flowers and maintaining a clean and aromatic house brings love, peace and comfort in relationships. 

Saturday is ruled by Saturn. It is the most important day that requires attention. Rub mustard oil over a Shani idol, give black sesame seeds to the crows, and do not drink alcohol. One of the best remedies for negative energies in astrology with trust in Indian tradition is lighting a mustard oil lamp around the Tulsi plant on a Saturday evening. 

Chanting a mantra with all your attention daily transforms the energy within you in a very tangible manner. In Vedic astrology, the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is the most powerful protection mantra, and the 108 mantras recited every morning form a spiritual shield, which becomes stronger every day. The Gayatri Mantra in the morning clears the mind and gives strength within and Hanuman Chalisa is the ultimate safeguard against evil eye and maleficence of the planets and this fact has been demonstrated by crores of Indian families over many generations. The only rule behind any mantra is consistency, as 40 days of chanting daily creates a shift that you will be capable of seeing and feeling. 

One of the most suitable and least expensive of all the remedies to do at home is rock salt. Once a week add a small portion to your bath water, and as you take the shower, release all the stress and weight of the past few days since salt has been found to draw the negative energy out of the aura of the body. You may also put small bowls of rock salt in the corners of rooms in which disputes occur frequently, but whenever you do it, put in new salt and put in fresh salt every two weeks and run it down the drain.

Another highly simple method of cleansing the energy in your house is burning camphor or kapoor twice a day. Wander in and out of rooms with the smouldering camphor and allow the smoke to enter every nook, beneath the bed, and into the dark cupboards. Do it only once a week, and you will find that the air in your home will be light and calmer in itself. 

One of the most inexpensive and effective solutions to treat negative energy that you will ever come across is to keep a Tulsi plant at home. Tulsi is sacred to Lord Vishnu and is said to control bad planetary energy out of the home. Spray it in the morning except on Sundays and make a little diya besides it in the evening, and you will see how this one little habit will gradually transform the whole atmosphere of your home. The Shami plant also does a great job in staying at home, especially to pacify the bad effects of Saturn.

The phase of the Moon also provides you with an opportunity to wash the energy of your house in the whole month twice. During Poornima (Full Moon) open your windows at night and allow the moonlight to enter. Light a sesame oil lamp and pour water over your ancestors on Amavasya (New Moon) since this is the day that has the most weight in terms of getting rid of past burdens and poor karma. The days leading up to Amavasya are usually the most emotional days, and it is truly helpful to be a bit more forgiving of yourself and your family during that period.
