So if one of these planets, in the name of wrath, enters an enemy planet’s house, the person suffers a loss financially. Thus, wearing a black thread on your left leg prevents any malice by these planets.

3. Apart from the black thread, no other colour thread should be knotted where the black thread is tied. 
4. As Saturday is the day of Shani, the thread should be worn on Saturdays always.
