Astrological remedies are practices traditionally recommended to harmonize planetary energies. When approached with understanding and sincerity, they can be meaningful tools for personal growth and spiritual development.
Understanding Remedies
Remedies work on multiple levels:
- Psychological: Shifting focus and intention
- Karmic: Creating positive karma through good actions
- Energetic: Harmonizing with planetary frequencies
- Spiritual: Deepening devotion and surrender
Important Principle: No remedy can guarantee specific results. Remedies are meant to support your efforts, not replace them. The best remedy is always ethical action and sincere effort.
