Fasting recommende­d to help you move forward

- AB | KG | SH

Q: PLEASE could you give me advice about my future. I am a graduate but I cannot find any employment. I have been at home for almost four years. All my applicatio­ns return unsuccessf­ul.

A: Astrologic­ally you are under Mars dasha and it is situated in the sign Cancer. This is the weak position of this planet to be in. This is also the lord of the 10th house in your horoscope. This house denotes the house of profession.

As per vedic astrology this is the root cause of you not getting a job.

This situation will continue for three more years before you end up in a good and permanent job.

You should follow a few astrologic­al remedies to make this planet more in your favour.

Do the following faithfully:

1. Every Tuesday, read the Shree Hanuman Chalisa 11 times.

2. On every Hanuman Jayanti, read the Shree Hanuman Chalisa 108 times.

3. Once a year on any Tuesday, donate a red shirt to a poor person.

4. Read the Sankat Mochan daily.

5. Every Tuesday maintain a vegetarian fast with no grains during the day. If you cannot manage then you may break the fast after sunset.

6. Eat food rich in iron.

7. Donate 10kg red kidney beans on a Tuesday, once a year. But once you get a job, do it once a month.

Q: I am experienci­ng a block in my life. I am always having trouble prospering. Whenever I want to do anything in life, something always stops it. Please could you help me. |

A: As per your birth chart I came to the conclusion that the planet

Mercury is causing obstacles in your life. Mercury being the lord of the first house (considered the mo st powerful house in one’s chart), situated in the sign Pisces, makes the first house very weak as well as Mercury. If you do not rectify this position of the planets, you will have obstacles in your path.

Do the following to overcome your problems:

1. Wear a 6-carat emerald pendant to increase the power of the planet Mercury.

2. Every Wednesday maintain a vegetarian diet and, if possible, do a grainless fast.

3. Chant Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah 1 080 times daily. It means 10 malas of 108. Do it for six months, thereafter do it 108 times daily.

4. Try to wear shades of green, and in your office the dominant theme should be light shades of green. For example, the carpet, sofa, wallpaper, bin and business cards.

Q: Please advise on how or what I should do to remedy my body pains.

And will I have a financiall­y better and longer future? Any other advice will be appreciate­d.

A: When someone experience­s cramps and body pain it is first important not to exclude any medical cause.

Once you have been to your doctor you can do the following, if permitted:

1. Take supplement­s containing calcium and magnesium.

2. Eat a small banana daily.

3. Practice Pranayam (breathing exercises) to improve oxygenatio­n and circulatio­n of blood to all parts of your body.

4. Do other forms of yoga and exercise.

5. Include Mahamritym­jaya mantra in your daily prayer.

Take care and I wish you good health. Astrologic­ally you will get better if you change your lifestyle as the planets are not the main cause of your body pain.

Financiall­y you will do well in the future as the planet Mars and moon together associate with the luck house, the ninth house. So you will have a better, and long, future.
