Frequently asked questions

Which graha is actually asking for attention

A Navgraha puja honours all nine, but the reason for booking one is usually a single planet. Your birth chart shows each graha’s sign, house and nakshatra and whether it is retrograde or combust, which is where that question starts — open your birth chart, free with an account. The Shadbala table, which scores each planet’s strength numerically across six measures, is part of the Pro report rather than the free chart.

Sade Sati: Saturn’s seven and a half years

The most common reason people look for a Navgraha remedy is Sade Sati — the stretch when Saturn transits the sign before your natal Moon, then the Moon’s own sign, then the sign after it. It runs about seven and a half years and is read in three phases, each with a different character. The chart works out which phase you are in, if any, at no cost. Where Sade Sati is specifically the issue, the Shani Sade Sati Shanti Puja addresses it directly.

When the nine-graha form fits, and when a single graha fits better

Where one planet is plainly the difficulty — Saturn in Sade Sati, an afflicted Moon, a debilitated Mars — a remedy addressed to that graha is the more focused choice. The Navgraha form suits a general run of friction across several areas at once, or a household that wants a periodic observance rather than a targeted one. Compare the pujas before deciding.
