Plants and Planets in Indian Astrology – Sacred Connection Between Trees & Navagraha
In Indian astrology, plants and trees are not merely part of nature – they carry powerful planetary energies. Each of the Navagraha (nine planets) is associated with specific trees, leaves, flowers or herbs. By worshipping, planting or caring for such sacred plants, one can strengthen beneficial planets and reduce the malefic effects of afflicted ones in the horoscope. This concept connects humans deeply with nature and helps balance planetary influences through simple, eco-friendly remedies.
In Astrology , all the planets have their symbolic Plants, which can increase their energy by consuming them or planting them in house or even tie them on our body.
