This week, I’m answering a question I get all the time—what do you do with a so-called “bad placement” in astrology?
You might have a difficult planetary placement like a debilitation or a tough transit coming up like sade sati and you’ve heard about things like chanting mantras, wearing gemstones, doing rituals, fasting, wearing certain colors, and so on… but what actually works?
In this episode, I share what I’ve found to be the most effective Vedic astrology remedies—based not just on the texts and tradition, but on real-world experience doing 1-1 readings and my own personal practice. I’ll walk you through when to use a remedy, how to choose one, and the real reason why some remedies work for one person but not another.
Here’s the thing: remedies aren’t about magically fixing your chart. They’re about creating the conditions for the positive expression of a planetary energy to emerge—through intentionality, practice, and personal alignment.
You’ll also learn:
— Why I don’t recommend gemstone prescriptions unless they feel intuitively aligned
— How to choose which graha (planet) to work with
— Why behavior and daily action are the most powerful remedies of all
— How to use mantras, mudras, yantras, and even your clothes or decor for planetary support
— Which remedies are best for mental health, clarity, grounding, and emotional healing
— How yoga is one of the most accessible and empowering remedy systems there is
— A simple approach to trying remedies out: give it a week, see what shifts, and go from there
I also share some of my own personal stories about things I’ve tried that didn’t work, what I’ve found most grounding, and why intuition is the key ingredient in every remedy—because what works for you might be totally different than what works for someone else.
And if you want to learn the exact yoga practices I use for each graha, I made a free downloadable PDF that goes with this episode—The Quietmind Astrology Guide to Remedies. You can grab it below.

Quotes from the episode:
- “The chart is just a map of potential. Remedies are about shifting how that potential expresses itself.”
- “You might wear the perfect stone, chant the perfect mantra—but if your actions are out of alignment, it won’t work.”
- “Yoga is a remedy. It’s a way to move energy, to shift patterns, and return to your center.”
- “You don’t have to believe in any of this for it to work. You just need to be curious, and try.”
- “What we call a ‘bad chart’ is just a misunderstood one. And every placement has a gift—if we work with it.”
