Remedies To Perform On Saturday To Please Lord Shani And Reduce Saturn's Negative Effects

Saturday is considered a special day dedicated to Lord Shani, the deity of justice. Currently, Saturn is positioned in Pisces and is soon expected to turn retrograde in the same sign. It is believed that Lord Shani, when pleased, can greatly uplift a person's life. However, if his unfavorable gaze falls upon someone, it can lead to significant hardships.

Those whose horoscopes show an inauspicious placement of Saturn, or who are undergoing Saturn’s Mahadasha, Sade Sati, or Dhaiyya periods, often experience difficult times. During these phases, Lord Shani is known to deliver challenges based on one's past deeds. However, with the help of certain remedies, it is possible to lessen these difficulties.

Since Saturday is particularly dear to Lord Shani, it is considered highly auspicious to perform specific rituals during the evening. Performing these remedies after sunset is believed to not only reduce the malefic effects of Saturn but also attract his blessings.
