Which planets are associated with the nine days of Navratri and how can each day be used to balance specific planets in your birth chart? – The Times of India

While everyone’s birth chart is uniquely formed based on their date, time, and place of birth, and planetary influences vary accordingly, Navratri offers a universal spiritual window where certain energies naturally align with specific planets. These nine days are symbolically linked to the nine forms of Goddess Durgaand each form resonates with a planet whose energies can be consciously balanced during that day.
So, even though your personal chart determines which planet needs deeper healing or correction, the following guide can be used as a general framework to bring planetary harmony during Navratri:
⦁ Day 1 – Shailputri (Moon)
Focus on emotional healing. Offer white flowers or kheer. Meditation or mantra chanting can calm the mind and soothe a weak Moon.
⦁ Day 2 – Brahmacharini (Mars)
Channel discipline and inner strength. Light a red diya and chant “Om Mangalaya Namah” to stabilize Mars energy, especially for anger issues.
⦁ Day 3 – Chandraghanta (Venus)
Strengthen relationships and bring balance in love and luxury. Use rose fragrance or white clothes. Chant Venus mantras for harmony.
⦁ Day 4 – Kushmanda (Sun)
Boost leadership, confidence, and vitality. Offer red flowers and chant “Om Suryaya Namah” to energize the Sun in your chart.
⦁ Day 5 – Skandmata (Mercury)
Improve speech, learning, and career clarity. Offer green moong or green fruits. Chant “Om Budhaya Namah” for Mercury alignment.
⦁ Day 6 – Katyayani (Jupiter)
For wisdom, growth, and positivity. Wear yellow and donate turmeric or yellow sweets. Chant “Om Gurave Namah” to balance Jupiter.
⦁ Day 7 – Kalaratri (Saturn)
Remove karmic blockages and anxiety. Light a mustard oil lamp in the southwest. Chant Shani Chalisa or “Om Shanicharaya Namah”.
⦁ Day 8 – Mahagauri (rahu)
Dissolve confusion and fears. Use calming incense, wear white, and meditate to neutralize Rahu’s illusionary impact.
⦁ Day 9 – Siddhidatri (ketu)
For spiritual detachment and mental clarity. Offer sesame seeds and chant “Om Ketave Namah” to settle Ketu-related disturbances.
