We know the imbalance of our Chakras can mess with our overall well-being. But did you know that your Astrological Planets need to be balanced too? According to ancient Vedic knowledge, our habits and actions can boost or weaken the planets that rule our birth chart and also our life!
It is a widely known fact that our thoughts, behavior, actions, and habits have a significant impact on our mental, emotional, and physical health.
Every little choice we make, be it rising early in the morning or making our bed everyday, can have an undeniable affect on the quality of our life, our emotional satisfaction, and our material success.
As we make more healthy choices, choices that are aligned with our truth, well-being, and desires, abundance and prosperity seem to flow into our lives more easily and effortlessly.
Practices like gratitude, positive affirmations, living in the moment, shadow work, etc. are recognized techniques that promise positive outcomes of our intentions and better luck in every aspect of our lives.
While these beliefs can be relatively new to the Western world, the sages and wise men and women of ancient India were privy to these secrets of the cosmos.
Vedic Astrology is a treasure trove when it comes to such secrets of the universe. It’s not only limited to horoscopes or predictions, but contains a vast reserve of esoteric knowledge on our holistic well-being.
One such important lesson is the role of planets, especially the ones present in our birth chart, how they influence various aspects of our life, and how we unknowingly weaken their beneficial aspects.
In Vedic astrology, “Navagraha” or 9 planets (celestial bodies) are believed to impact human life, destiny, karma, and cosmic energy.
These astrological bodies are:
- Sun (Surya)
- Moon (Chandra)
- Mars (Mangal)
- Mercury (Budh)
- Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspati)
- Venus (Shukra)
- Saturn (Shani)
- North Node of the Moon (Rahu)
- South Node of the Moon (Ketu)
It is believed that through our many mundane habits and practices, we unknowingly lessen the positive influence of these cosmic influences.

Daily Habits That Unbalance Your Astrological Planets, According to Vedic Wisdom
Here are the nine planets in Vedic astrology, and habits and practices that can weaken their positive effects:
Sun (Surya)
The Sun blesses your leadership skills, influence, and professional or academic success. According to Vedic Astrology, if you wake up late everyday, act entitled and arrogant with others, and disrespect your father or father figure who has a positive influence on your life, you harm your own prospects.
Moon (Chandra)
The Moon represents water, emotional and mental balance, intuition, and nurturance. If you are disrespectful toward your mother or anyone who has nurtured you like a mother, waste water, or drive yourself hard without leaving enough time to rest or reflect, your actions chip away at Moon’s harmonious influence on your mind. This will reflect badly on your behavior, reactions, mood, decisions, and life choices.
Mars (Mangal)
According to Hindu Astrology, Mars controls our drive and courage. If you spend your days lazying around, let your anger get the better of you often, or misuse your strength or power to repress the weak, your Mars weakens and makes you feel off balance and aggressive.
Mercury (Budh)
Mercury rules over your communication skills and clarity of thoughts. If you frequently lie, gossip about others, twist facts, misrepresent information, or are unkind with your words via any kind of communication, be it verbal or electronic, you lose out on the blessings of Mercury.
Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspati)
According to Vedic Astrology, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, wisdom, growth, and higher learning. It is the voice of your higher self. If you intentionally misguide others by giving wrong advice, compromise with your values, and ignore your teachers, parents, or other respected elders who have a positive influence on you, you block your own progress in every other way.
Venus (Shukra)
Venus gives you love, attraction, desirability, sensual pleasure, comfort, and luxury. But if you are careless with your romantic choices, disrespect or cheat on your partner, or stop taking care of yourself, you start attracting bad luck in relationships and finance, and your desirability decreases too.
Saturn (Shani)
The Hindu Astrology says Saturn demands discipline, structure, ethics, responsibility, perseverance, and hard work. If you live up to Saturn’s expectations, Saturn blesses you with all kinds of abundance; delayed and hard earned, but extremely fulfilling and maybe even beyond your imaginations.
But if you neglect your duties and displease Saturn, this Karmic planet can bring delays, blockages, setbacks, and misfortune.
The following activities can lead you to invite Saturn’s wrath:
- Excessive drinking
- Reckless behavior
- Abusing animals
- Humiliating or being unkind to the people who work for you or with you
North Node of the Moon (Rahu)
North Node represents desire, ambition, illusions, and the areas of life where we chase growth or validation. When it is balanced, it brings opportunities, innovation, confidence, and worldly success.
But if you fall into unhealthy habits such as constantly comparing yourself to others, chasing shortcuts, lying or manipulating to get ahead, or indulging in addictions and escapism, you weaken its positive influence.
This leads to confusion, anxiety, impulsive decisions, fake highs, and a constant feeling of “not enough.”
South Node of the Moon (Ketu)
South Node symbolizes past-life wisdom, intuition, detachment, and spiritual evolution. When it’s strong, you feel grounded, insightful, and naturally intuitive.
But if you engage in habits like shutting down emotionally, withdrawing from relationships, avoiding responsibilities, or becoming overly cynical or disconnected from reality, you disturb its harmonious energy.
This can cause lack of direction, emotional numbness, missed opportunities, and a sense of being isolated even when surrounded by people.
