A negative or mixed Prashna isn't a verdict — it's a warning. Specific remedies based on the afflicting planets can soften or redirect the karma.

Reading remedy needs from a Prashna

  • Identify the afflicting planet (combust, debilitated, in dusthana).
  • Identify the afflicted planet (Lagna lord or karaka under attack).
  • Match remedy to affliction type.

Common Prashna remedies

  • Mantra japa for the afflicting planet.
  • Donation matched to the planet (Sun: wheat, Moon: milk, Saturn: sesame).
  • Day-specific fasting.
  • Worship of the deity associated with the planet.

What remedies cannot do

  • Override clearly-locked karma.
  • Replace medical treatment.
  • Substitute legal counsel.
  • They modulate intensity, not direction.
