According to Drik Panchang, Saturn, the lord of karma, will be retrograde in July 2025. They came into retrograde state on 13th July 2025 and will remain in this state till 28th November 2025. Astrologer Harshvardhan Shandilya explains that when Saturn is retrograde, its energy enhances a person’s introspection, results of karma and ability to overcome obstacles. This time is definitely slow, but it also proves to give excellent results for those who work in the right direction. Let us know which measures can prove helpful in avoiding the evil eye of Shani Dev.
Visit the idol of Shanidev: Never visit the idol of Shanidev with your eyes closed. This may make it difficult to obtain His grace.
Remedy for Saturday: Every Saturday wear red clothes and stand in front of Lord Hanuman and worship him. If possible, donate black sesame or mustard oil for a short time on Saturday. This reduces Shani Dosha.
Chanting lamp and mantra: Every evening, light a lamp facing west and chant the mantra dedicated to Shanidev. The basic mantra of Shani Dev is: “Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah.”
Truth and Honesty: Be honest in life, speak the truth and respect elders. These qualities please Shani Dev.
Tree worship: Offer water to Shami, Tulsi and Peepal trees. Light a mustard oil lamp at a crossroads or under a Peepal tree on Saturday evening. Never cut green trees or cause abortion.
Morning Shiva Sadhana: Wake up before sunrise and worship Lord Shiva. This provides positive energy throughout the day and the blessings of Shani Dev.
Wear Blue Sapphire: Wearing Blue Sapphire is considered very effective in reducing the effects of retrograde Saturn and gaining positive planetary energy. It is especially beneficial to wear it in auspicious time on Saturday.
