Astrology and botany are complementary to nature. Trees and vegetation have the ability to change the condition of planets in human life. Vegetation planting and maintenance provide environmental protection as well, health, happiness and prosperity. There are several remedies in vedic astrology to pacify the ill-effects of afflicted planets placed in a kundali. Some of them include, planting a Banana tree on a highway gives relief from markeyesha Saturn and longevity, or if Jupiter is weak or forms Alpayu yoga in association with any other planet then the native should plant Peepal tree to get good results. Similarly, medicinal plants/herbs are also used in astrology to get relief from inauspicious results of malefic planets.
Each plant is associated with some or the other planet that are applied on the native’s body after performing a special yagya. These ayurvedic herbs are used to calm down the negative effects of planets and do destroy the defects of Vastu as well.
According to astrologers, Yagyna is the most important ceremony to calm the planets and attain their auspicious results. Scholars have identified the plants and herbs used in yagyna in various categories according to their relation with the planets. Wood used in the yagyna is known as Idham. Not every wood can be used for this ceremony. As per the rituals in Vayu Purana, wood from Teak (Saguan katha), Banyan (Bara katha), Pipal (Osta katha), fig, sandalwood, Cedar (Devadaru gachha) etc is considered beneficial for yagyna. Dayanand Saraswati has considered the wood of sandalwood. palash and mango tree most beneficial for performing yagyna.
