Friday fast and that secret remedy: Are the planets in your horoscope stopping your progress?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Today’s date is 26 December 2025. Only a few days are left for the year to end and coincidentally, today is the ‘last Friday’ of the year 2025. We all want that the coming year 2026 brings us happiness, prosperity and lots of happiness. But this last Friday before the start of the new year is seen as a “golden chance” in the world of astrology and spirituality.

Friday is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi and ‘Shukra Dev’, the lord of comforts and luxuries. If your last year was spent in financial crunch or bitterness in relationships, then today is the best time to leave that negative energy behind.

There is a need to understand, not be afraid of inauspicious combinations.
Sometimes some such yogas are formed in the Panchang which we call ‘inauspicious’. But don’t be afraid! These obstacles can be overcome with some easy measures at the end of the year. Donation and chanting of mantras done on this day not only soothes the present problems but also strengthens your financial foundation for the coming year.

What to do on the last Friday of the year?
There is no need to take very big and complicated measures. It’s these little things done with true faith that have the biggest impact:

1. Donation of white things: Friday is directly related to the planet Venus and they love white color very much. Donate rice, sugar, milk or curd to a poor person or a nearby temple today. By doing this, Lord Venus is pleased and material happiness increases.
2. Chant Shukra Beej Mantra: If you are troubled by the obstacles in your work, then at least 108 times today “Om Shum Shukray Namah” Chant. This mantra increases your concentration and gives you energy to complete pending tasks.
3. Lotus Garland or Red Rose: Offer lotus or red rose to Goddess Lakshmi. As the year goes by, this is a way of saying thank you for bringing us this far and praying that the next year will be even more prosperous.
4. Home cleaning and ghee lamp: This evening, definitely light a ghee lamp at the main entrance of your house. Mother Lakshmi enters only where there is cleanliness and light.

New Year’s resolution
Friday fast is not just abstinence from food and drink, but it is also a practice of making one’s behavior polite. On this last Friday of the year 2025, take a pledge that you will help others and believe in your hard work. Remember, Mother Lakshmi resides only where there is purity in the mind and truth in intentions.

Well, the year will pass by, but these small efforts made by you can bring big changes in your life. I wish you and your family all the best on this last Friday of the year and a happy future ahead!
