Bhadaka Graha In Astrology: Planets That Block Your Progress

Have you heard the tale of Bhadaka Graha in Astrology, the troublesome planet? The Bhadaka planet in astrology is thought to bring difficulties and obstacles in life according to Vedic astrology. If Bhadaka impacts your ascendant or moon sign, you may face challenges in achieving your goals or desires. But don’t worry, the story doesn’t end there. While Bhadaka can be a mischievous planet, its effects can be remedied. The Badhak planets serve as a warning but also hope. Let us know it all in detail.

What is Bhadaka Planet In Astrology?

The tale of Bhadaka is one of trouble and unrest. If your ascendant falls under one of the dual signs- Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces -the anger of this malefic planet may impact your life in unseen ways. Moreover, these houses are the locations where the Bhadaka or angered planet show its negative intentions. These locations are nothing but Badhaka Sthana in astrology – the place where a Badhaka planet resides for a while.

Depending on which sign Badhaka occupies in your birth chart, it can impact different areas of your life. The Bhadaka graha creates obstacles, delays and disappointments in life. It impacts your health, profession, business, education, relationships, and finances adversely. However, the intensity depends on the strength and association of Bhadaka in your birth chart. The closer Bhadaka is to your ascendant, the more harm it can do.

How To Identify Bhadaka Rashi and Badhaka Planet

We learned that the 11th, 9th and 7th house lords or planets affect the Zodiac Signs. But for every ascendant or rising sign, besides Badhkesha or Badhaka Lord, here is a Badhaka Rashi or zodiac as well. The trick to finding it is very simple if you are in a hurry and in case you don’t get to meet your astrologer.

Count from the first sign in 11-9-7 fashion. For example, take Aries ascendant. If you start counting the zodiac from Aries, you land up at Aquarius. Now Aquarius becomes your Badhaka Rashi, and its ruler, Saturn or Rahu, becomes your Badhaka planet or Badhkesha. Likewise, if you are facing obstacles in your life, and an astrologer predicted the Badhaka planet in your birth chart, you can find the Badhaka rashi and the lord in this manner.

Effect of Bhadaka Planets on the Ascendants

The story of Bhadaka Graha in Astrology begins when the malefic planet enters the zodiac. For those born under the 12 ascendants, Bhadaka’s influence manifests uniquely in each sign. Let us see how based on modalities in astrology.

1. Effect on Movable Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) 

The malevolent Bhadaka, also known as the ‘malefic planet,’ impacts the movable signs the most. If your ascendant is Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, 11th house lord Bhadaka can cause difficulties in your life.

• Aries Ascendant: 11th house Bhadkesh can reduce the native’s gains, income and prosperity while also causing issues with close friendships or social groups. It can also lead to health issues.
• Cancer Ascendant: They may face obstacles in their social life and see a lack of income or wealth due to Bhadaka’s malefic influence. Emotional turmoil and digestive issues are also possible.
• Libra Ascendant: The Badhak planet for Libra ascendant can cause a struggle with forming new friendships or see existing relationships disturbed. Their gains, income and wealth may also decrease. Health issues related to the lower back, kidneys or uterus are possible.
• Capricorn Ascendant: Bhadaka can reduce financial gains and income while also causing disharmony with friends or social groups. Restlessness, anxiety, and urinary tract infections are also potential effects.

2. Effect on Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)

The 9th house lord or Bhadhak affects the Fixed Signs ascendants or lagna, i.e. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. As the 9th house governs fortune, faith, and long journeys, Bhadaka may bring difficulties in these areas. Your luck may run dry for a period, opportunities slipping through your fingers. You could face doubts or restlessness in your spiritual path or belief system. Long-distance travel may be disrupted by delays or complications.

• Leo Ascendant:  Leo natives, in particular, may face ego blows or power struggles with authority figures like teachers, professors or mentors. 
• Taurus Ascendant: For Taurus, financial losses or instability are possible. 
• Scorpio Ascendant: The 9th house Badhaka planet for scorpio ascendant could make Scorpios deal with the loss of privacy or intimacy in close relationships. 
• Aquarius Ascendant: Aquarians may face isolation from groups or friends who normally share their innovative ideas.

3. Effect on Dual Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)

The 7th house lord, or Bhadkesh, influences the dual signs negatively. That is, it affects Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces descendants.

• Gemini: Your Bhadaka lord in the 7th house indicates difficulties in business partnerships and marital life. However, your wit and intellect help you navigate challenges.
• Virgo: Bhadaka planet for Virgo Ascendant implies health issues for your partner or disputes over work. Your practical nature and attention to detail aid in overcoming obstacles.
• Sagittarius: Your Bhadaka lord in the 7th house points to disagreements with partners over beliefs or long trips. Your optimism and sense of adventure help smooth the way.
• Pisces: For Pisces, the Bhadakesh in the 7th house signifies confusion or deceptions in relationships. Your compassion and intuition guide you through difficulties.

Remedies for Badhaka Planet

To fight and overcome the obstacles caused by Badhaka Graha in Astrology and to calm them down, consider the following remedies.

1. Chanting Mantras

Another remedy is chanting the Bhadaka Shanti mantra: “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Namah”. Chant this mantra at least 108 times on Thursdays. You can also recite the Hanuman Chalisa or Bajrang Baan regularly.

2. Fasting

Fasting, especially on Thursdays, is highly beneficial to reduce Bhadaka’s wrath. Avoid consuming non-vegetarian food, alcohol and onion or garlic. Only consume milk, curd or fruits. Observe silence during this fast for best results.

3. Wearing Gemstones

Wearing a Red Coral or Emerald gemstone can help strengthen a weak Bhadaka’s position and reduce obstacles. The gemstone should be set in gold or silver and worn on the ring finger on Thursday morning after chanting the mantras.

Conclusion

Whether Bhadaka risks your movable, fixed or dual ascendant, its effects will be felt in the areas of life ruled by the house it occupies. But don’t lose hope! By making the prescribed propitiations and remedial measures to alleviate Bhadaka, you can mitigate and even overcome its malefic influence. Through awareness and action, you can outsmart Bhadaka. At least, that’s what our astrologers motivate their clients for. May the stars shine brightly on you!
