Upay : Importance of Astrological Remedies

Predicting future is one part of the story in case of Astrology while providing remedial measure is the real essence, which helps us in providing protection during difficult times. Astrology offers help in the form of astral remedies. Those who do not want to do astral remedies, there is little which can be done for such people except telling them about the period of suffering or the time to come.

When planets are indicating tragic happenings then people usually do not perform astral remedies to protect themselves against the expected losses. The planetary relationships give results according to the indications in case no preventive remedies are performed. Indications of time can only be modified with the help of the astral remedies. Until and unless the astral remedies are performed, in my view the extent of the services of the divine science of Astrology is very much limited. Some people hold the view that those who prescribe astral remedial measures are incompetent to make predictions or only want to make money through various poojas or homams. I can only pity at their lack of power to understand. Such people forget and disregard the ancient sages, who propounded the theory of remedial measures. The preventive remedial measures provide relief from sufferings while remedial measures after some tragic incidence help in rehabilitation.

The strengthening astrological remedial measures are suggested for all the functional benefic planets even if they are not weak and afflicted in the natal chart. The strengthening measures provide a preventive cover to the planets against their transit weakness. Similarly, the propitiating remedial measures are advised for all the functional malefic planets even if they are not forming close afflictions in the natal chart. The propitiating remedial measures provide a preventive cover for transit and natal afflictions. The problems in life are caused by weak planets and/or afflictions to them. To help people overcome their problems, it is advised that appropriate astral remedies, such as meditation and spiritual practices, color and gemstone therapy, the wearing of a kavach or amulet as a protective shield, and the participation in pujas and yagnas, etc. Therefore, a two-way application of astral remedies is administered after diagnosing the problematic planetary influences in a chart. Firstly, the strength is provided to the weak functional benefic planets. The strength can be provided by various methods, e.g. gemstones, color therapy, Kavach (the protective shield containing mystical numbers of the planets) in an auspicious time. Secondly, the malevolence of the functional malefic planets is reduced through the regular practice of meditation, spiritual practices and offering propitiatory charities concerning these planets. The two-way application helps in reducing the impact of malefic planetary influences to a large extent. The preventive use of astral remedies is much more useful than the curative astral remedies.

Generally, people resort to astral remedies in the end after trying all other therapies ignoring the distinct advantage of preventive diagnostic power of the astrological science. Needless to stress the benefit of preventive medicine/redressal measures as against those of the curative measures. Whenever practiced with faith and sincerity, the efficacy of astral remedies in terms of immediate results depends on many things including the ascendant and the strength of the natal planets. If the functional malefic planets are more in the natal chart, with multiple close afflictions, and the functional benefic planets are weak, one benefits with lot of delay. For example, the people born in the Virgo, Cancer, Pisces, Taurus and Capricorn ascendants need lot of time for sincere and faithful performance of propitiatory remedies. Then the further factors to be seen are the strength of the sub-period and the transit influences.

For both - curative and preventive remedies - the judicious mixture of the following astral remedies is applied. Proper medicine is required for preventing and curing a disease, similarly proper remedial measures are required to control and prevent adverse incidences in the life of an individual. An astrologer needs to be approached for prescribing the correct remedial measure.
