This article is about simple and easy remedial measure in everyday life, how we unconsciously keep strengthening planets everyday through our simple daily activities.

        We know that a way of remedy is performing charity of specific things, which represent that particular planet. By donating those particular things the evil of the planet are reduced. The basic idea behind this donation is 'Sacrificing'. Donating something free of cost means sacrifice. In charity we sacrifice something, which is a great work, and by sacrificing a particular kind of thing we reduce the harm of that particular planet. As an example, black clothes, iron goods, mustard oil etc. are things of Saturn and by charity of those items we can reduce the harm of Saturn in our charts.

        If we think for a moment then we will understand that in this case the opposite of charity (Sacrifice) is consumption. (Using the specified thing in own purpose.) Because when I perform charity, I hand over the ownership and do not have the right to use that thing anymore, as it no longer belongs to me. So, it's opposite will be consuming or using the specified thing.

        This makes me think that if we can reduce a planet's harm by donating it's things, then can not we strengthen it by consumption of the same product? (As 'Using' is the opposite of charity?)

        This idea finds a support for itself when we see astrologers telling that donating a planet's gem will pacify it. (Like donating a ruby would pacify Sun.) So, it means that when using the gemstone for self is strengthening the planet, then sacrificing the same is pacifying the planet. Vice versa, there are items donating which can pacify the planet, so similarly using the same items will strengthen the planet. As consumption = opposite of sacrifice.

        Thus, in our everyday life we can use some things much to strengthen our benefic planets while by avoiding the usage of some things we can avoid strengthening our malefic planets.

        As I told before, mustard oil represents Saturn and by donating this, we can pacify Saturn. So, by the same law, using mustard oil in everyday life will simply strengthen Saturn, which is a good choice for people who have Saturn as their benefic planet. Thus, people can not buy expensive gems can strengthen their benefic planets in everyday life. Though using mustard oil will work far less than using a Sapphire, but still it is a very notable effect through which people can be benefited a lot.

        Similarly, people who do not know Jyotish, or do not know this theory may use mustard oil everyday in cooking etc. as their habit or culture, and unconsciously strengthen Saturn, most of the cases which is a malefic planet causing a lot of troubles and grief. Think now!

        This is not a made-up theory from my mind. But from my personal experiences I see from the past that whenever Saturn Pratyantar Dashas came, I have used mustard oil for my hair etc. or used to eat foods which has been prepared with it! But in the other times, I did not!

        This is because we know that in each period of planets they made us do things they promise in our charts, and making someone use Saturn kind of things is a very common matter we can expect from a Saturn period. But, notice we know that each planets gets strengthened in it's own period through which it gives it's effects. And so in Saturn Pratyantar it was powerful and made me use mustard oil much. So again we get that using mustard oil strengthens Saturn. Thus, all other planets can be strengthened using some of simple things in everyday life. Similarly, malefic planets' items should be avoided.

        Similarly, we know that electrical items are ruled by Rahu. And truly, when my Rahu bhukti started, I started to use electrical items more than ever before! As an example, I bought and started to wear a wristwatch for all the 24 hours times even when sleeping! But before that, in my 20 year's life, I never wore a wristwatch even for one day a month!

        This, of course, does not mean that Saturn and Rahu periods will always make someone use mustard oil or electrical items like me. What it will make the person do, will depend on all the matters. Like the person might wear black or aqua coloured clothes a lot on that period of time etc. which indicates strengthening of Saturn. I have worn red shirts almost all the times when my Mars AD (Anter Dasha, Me-Ma) started, esp. in Me-Ma-Ma, and have worn black t-shirts more than anything in my Me-Mo-Sa. So it is confirm the planet will show it's effect though the person's activities.

        Even, the person may even behave the 'Planet-wise'. Like in Mars' period the person may behave hot-tempered if Mars is afflicted, as hot temper is ruled by negative Mars. Say, a person may involve in romantic activities in his 7th lord period, it is also 'behaving planet-wise', do not overlook! For this reason astrologers often advise to control temper to reduce Mars' harms. Because, Mars shows it's effect by making you hot tempered, and you put it away by keeping yourself cool-mannered! And the other bad effects are put away like this the same while when you act opposite to the planetary effects.

        Thus, by every single activities or behaviour, we show planets' effects, and by every single task or behaviour in everyday lives, we strengthen some planets. A Jyotish-learned person will always act careful enough not to strengthen his malefic planets from his simple and everyday life activities. But other general people will only increase their pain just like using more mustard oil etc.

        May we do all the positive things in our everyday lives, may Jyotish be the most helpful guide to all of us.
