With its foundations in ancient knowledge, astrology is a vital tool for making decisions and directing our lives. Its effect also extends to charitable deeds. Astrological principles state that the energies connected to particular objects have a significant impact on a person's fate. Therefore, choosing carefully what you gift is essential to guarantee that it will benefit the recipient as well as you. 

According to astrological beliefs, people should refrain from donating certain items as they are believed to bring bad luck.

5 Items You Should Never Donate 

1. Used Footwear - Even with the best of intentions, old footwear is not the best item to donate. According to Vedic astrology, a person's fate is linked to their shoes, hence parting with old shoes might represent a bad destiny shift.

2. Torn/Old Clothes - Torn or ragged clothes are said to contain bad energy, just like broken objects. Giving out clothes like this might unintentionally hurt the recipient's finances. 

3. Broken Items - Donating broken or outdated objects with the hope that they might be fixed could seem like a good deed. Astrology, however, opposes it. Donating such objects might unintentionally provide the receiver access to this allegedly bad energy. 

4. Sharp Items - Knives, scissors, and other sharp objects are not considered auspicious items to donate. These things are connected to breaking connections or ending relationships, which goes against the fundamental principles of compassion.

5. Watches And Clocks - Watches are symbolic of fate and the passing of time. Giving out a watch or clock might be interpreted as an attempt to influence or control someone's destiny, which is contrary to astrological principles.
