Despite putting extra effort at work and in life, some people still face financial crises and are overburdened and confused. According to Vedic astrology, the problem doesn't lie with the person, but is often connected to the position of certain planets in their birth chart.

When planets are weak, afflicted or placed in the wrong position, they can create obstacles in wealth, career, business, and financial stability.

Let's understand in detail which planets are responsible for causing money issues and how one can improve them.

The 5 Planets Responsible for Money Issues

Saturn (Shani): The Delay King

According to astrology, when Saturn influences the 2nd or 11th house in the birth chart (the house representing wealth, savings and gains), people often face financial delays, job struggles, debt problems and slow growth despite extra effort.

However, one should not consider Saturn as their enemy. Saturn tests patience, and those who are not disciplined struggle the most.

Traditional Remedies:

  • Donate black sesame or mustard oil on Saturdays
  • Help poor and needy people
  • Chant Shani mantra regularly

2. Rahu (The Illusionist)

In Vedic astrology, Rahu is a shadow planet which creates illusion, confusion, and unstable financial decisions. When Rahu is placed poorly in the birth chart, especially in the 2nd house, it causes sudden money loss, financial stress, and business instability.

Traditional Remedies:

  • The individual should worship Goddess Durga.
  • Maintain cleanliness
  • Avoid unethical shortcuts in life, especially at work.

3. Ketu: The Detachment Factor

Ketu represents detachment from material possessions and discontent in life. When Ketu is afflicted or placed in the 7th house, income becomes unpredictable, opportunities suddenly disappear, or financial planning becomes weak. Ketu in the 11th house reduces profits and cuts off financial gains.

Traditional Remedies:

  • Individuals should start feeding stray dogs
  • Meditate and chant spiritual mantras
  • Donate grey or mixed-colour blankets to the poor

Mars: The Impulsive Spender

In Vedic astrology, Mars is the planet of aggression, energy and action. When it is afflicted or placed in the wrong house in the birth chart, it leads to impulsive spending, creates financial loss due to arguments, disputes, and legal battles and increases debt.

Traditional Remedies

  • Recite Hanuman Chalisa every Tuesday
  • Donate red items on Tuesdays
  • Wear a Red Coral gemstone after consulting a qualified astrologer

Jupiter: Poor Wisdom

Jupiter is associated with wisdom, intellect, prosperity, and abundance. When Jupiter is debilitated or heavily afflicted, money flow reduces, a person makes poor financial decisions, misses opportunities and experiences delays.

Traditional Remedies

  • Worship Lord Vishnu or Brihaspati Dev
  • Donate yellow clothes or turmeric on Thursdays
  • Chant 'Om Gurave Namah'
