Not all remedies are costly. Instead of generalisation, pl indicate what remedy has been suggested and for what purpose?

I am currently going through rahu mahadasha with Ketu Antardasha until March 2026, and I am also in the period of Shani Sade Satti. Lately, I have been facing numerous issues related to my career as well as health. When I consulted one astrologer, he suggested performing a Maha Mrityunjaya Path of 1,25,000 jaaps, to be done by 3–4 Brahmins, costing around ₹51,000. Another astrologer recommended wearing a Blue Sapphire set in silver for best results, which I found would cost between ₹50,000 to ₹65,000 depending on the size.

I’m not sure if I should go ahead with these remedies at such high costs? Will they truly help improve my situation, or are there equally effective alternatives that are more affordable? I would appreciate insights from experienced astrologers or anyone who has gone through a similar period.

BTW My birth details are 25 January 1989, 23:30, New Delhi

Mr. Praveen

I have cast your chart and found that Moon is in Leo in Pubba star. Then how do you feel that you are under Saturn sade sati. The date of birth I have taken is 25-01-1989 as you have given. You are aware that every planet gives the results of its star lord. That is the principle to follow.

But the period running as said by you is Rahu dasa Ketu bhukt upto 16-01-2026. Rahu is in the 5th house which is detriment to 6th house (sickness). It is good. It should not give you health issues. Rahu is in his own star and sub of Mercury who is connected to Moon in 11th house. But Moon and Venus are deemed to be in connection with 8th cusp (tensions, disappointments). So you are facing the troubles as you said.

Again Rahu is transiting in Jupiter star from 17-3-2025 to 26-11-2025. Radical Jupiter is in 8th house. Because of transit in Jupiter’s star you will face all the troubles.

Rahu as a node (being in Saturn sign) signifies (1st and 10th lord) Mercury and 12th lord Sun also. Rahu signifies his sign lord Saturn (in 3rd house) also. By Moon’s aspect Rahu signifies Moon, who is deemed to be in conjunction with Venus. As said above  Rahu gets significations of 1st (self), 10th (profession, career), 3rd (communication, siblings, short journeys) and 8th (tensions) and so you suffered in his period.

As a node Ketu also gets signification of Moon (who is deemed to be in conjunction with Venus and 8th cusp) and Sun (12th lord in 4th house). So you will experience tensions, unprecedented expenditure in your home and troubles from your friends etc.

It is better to Pray Lord Manyu (form of Lord Rudra) by listening Manyu Suktam in your mobile. If possible please perform in any Hanuman temple, the abhishekam to Lord Hanuman with Manyu suktam for 7 consecutive tuesdays and take the theertham. To a great extent you will get relief.

These are my observations as per KP system.

Good Luck

Hi,

You are in the midst of Ashtama-Shani or Saturn/Shani-dev’s transit across the 8th house from natal placement of Moon/Chandra – not Sade-Sathi. There are very simple remedies to address any stress/tension (more so in domestic life). Chanting simple Shani-dev mantras, being patient (more so on Saturdays), grounded/humble, caring for aged etc., will help your cause.

On the sidelines, you are right about being in the midst of Ketu’s Antara in the midst of Rahu Maha-Dasha (as per Vimsottari Dasha system). Both the Lunar Nodes (Rahu & Ketu) are mischievous… more so with Ketu, who has below par Vimsopaka Bala in Dasha Varga and not the best of moods. So, it would perhaps make sense for you to consider offering special prayers to Lord Ganesha on a regular basis, starting today (Angaraka Sankashta Chaturti). And, I’m inclined to think the stress/tension at home (domestic life) is perhaps impacting performance at work and in-turn on your health.

Take care…

Astrologers may recommend expensive remedies for Rahu and Saturn because these planets are believed to cause strong karmic effects, and costly rituals, gemstones, or pujas are thought to amplify the energy needed to counter their negative influence.
