In Sanatan Dharma and Vedic Astrology, every activity related to daily lifestyle, routine and personal hygiene of man is directly related to the energy of planets and constellations. Whatever actions we take throughout the day—be it eating, bathing, getting a haircut or clipping nails—all have a profound impact on our destiny, financial condition and mental health. Often people cut nails on any day or time as per their convenience, but according to astrology, this carelessness of cutting nails on any day without thinking can bring poverty, failure and diseases in your life. The scriptures prescribe special days and rules for cleaning and cutting nails. Let us know which day of the week is considered best for cutting nails and on which day this mistake should be avoided.
Relation of nails with Shanidev and Rahu-Ketu in astrology
According to Vedic astrology, Navagrahas have an effect on different parts of our body. While hair and nails are considered to be the representation of Shanidev, the dirt and dead skin accumulated in the nails is associated with shadow planets like Rahu and Ketu. If you keep your nails dirty or cut them at the wrong time and wrong day, then the ill effects of Saturn and Rahu start increasing in your horoscope. Shanidev is considered the god of justice and action; When a person does not take proper care of his nails or follows wrong rules, Shani Dev gets angry and creates tough struggles, financial constraints and health related problems in life. Therefore, it is very important to clean the nails at the right time and trim them as per the classical rules.
Advantages and disadvantages of cutting nails 7 days a week
In astrology, all seven days of the week are related to some planet or deity. Therefore, the results of cutting nails every day are different:
Monday: Mental peace and health benefits Monday is dedicated to the planet Moon and Lord Mahadev. Moon is considered to be the factor of our mind, emotions and health. According to astrology, cutting nails on Monday is very auspicious. Cutting nails on this day removes negative thoughts from a person’s mind, provides relief from mental stress and destroys the Tamoguna in the body. For those who are suffering from phlegm or mental disturbance, cutting nails on Monday is considered beneficial.
Tuesday: Debt, anger and danger of accidents Tuesday is the day of Lord Hanuman and planet Mars. Mars is considered to be the factor of energy, blood, courage and bravery. In astrology, cutting nails on Tuesday is considered strictly prohibited. Cutting nails on this day weakens Mars in a person’s horoscope, which increases the chances of headache, blood related diseases and accidents. Apart from this, cutting nails on Tuesday increases the debt burden on a person and increases unnecessary distress and anger in the family.
Wednesday: Money gain and increase in intelligence. Wednesday is dedicated to Mercury, the planet of intelligence and business, and Lord Shri Ganesha. In astrology, Wednesday is considered one of the best and fruitful days for cutting nails. Cutting nails or hair on this day sharpens a person’s intelligence, brings desired monetary gains in business and opens new avenues of wealth accumulation. Employed people get promotion in their workplace and obstacles in their career are removed.
Thursday: Decline of knowledge and arrival of poverty Thursday is considered to be the day of Devguru Brihaspati and Lord Shri Hari Vishnu. Jupiter represents knowledge, religion, children, happiness and prosperity in our life. One should not cut nails even by mistake on Thursday. According to religious beliefs, cutting nails on this day weakens the planet Jupiter, which reduces a person’s knowledge and education. Also, Alakshmi starts residing in the house, due to which happiness and prosperity ends and the family has to face huge financial crisis.
Friday: Happiness, beauty and blessings of Goddess Lakshmi Friday is considered to be the day of Venus, the lord of wealth, material happiness, beauty and attraction and Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Friday is considered the most auspicious and auspicious day for cutting nails. Cutting nails on this day brings positive energy into a person’s life. Due to the strong planet Venus, relationships become sweet, comforts and amenities increase in the house and by the grace of Goddess Lakshmi, there is never any shortage of money and grains.
Saturday: Saturn’s Dhaiya and mental distress Saturday is dedicated to the justice-loving god Shanidev. Although nails are considered to be related to Saturn, yet for people living a family life, cutting nails on Saturday is prohibited in the scriptures. Cutting nails on Saturday may result in facing the evil eye of Shanidev. This causes hindrances in a person’s work, increases mental stress, causes joint pain in the body and there are chances of sudden financial loss.
Sunday: Lack of confidence and obstacles in success Sunday is the day of Lord Sun, the king of the planets. Sun God is the symbol of our self-confidence, respect, soul and health. According to Mahabharata and other mythological texts, cutting nails on Sunday is considered extremely inauspicious. By cutting nails on this day, a person’s self-confidence begins to waver, his reputation in the society gets hurt and the person’s immunity weakens. Apart from this, there are frequent failures in work.
Why is cutting nails at night considered a great sin?
Often elders at home refuse to cut nails in the evening or at night. Both spiritual and practical reasons are hidden behind this. According to religious beliefs, Goddess Lakshmi arrives at home at sunset and at night. If a person cuts nails at night, it brings poverty in the house and Goddess Lakshmi gets angry and goes away. Negative and vengeful forces are more active in the environment during night time.
If seen from a scientific point of view, in ancient times there was no electricity at night and people used to cut nails with sharp tools. There was a huge risk of cutting or injuring fingers while cutting nails in the dark or in low light. Additionally, cut nails could fall into food or water, leading to the risk of spreading infection. To avoid this accident, cutting nails at night was banned.
The correct classical method of cutting and filing nails
It is not enough to choose the right day, but after cutting the nails, it is equally important to throw them in the right place:
-
choose location: Never cut nails while sitting on the bed, in the kitchen, in the puja room or at any religious place. Doing this creates Vaastu defects in the house.
-
Direction and time: Always cut nails while sitting in an open place in the afternoon or after taking bath in the morning.
-
Disposal of nails: Never throw cut nails inside the house, in the courtyard or in running water. It is believed that cut nails can be misused in witchcraft or Tantra Vidya. Therefore, always wrap the nails in some paper or cloth and throw them in the dustbin or bury them in the soil.
-
Cleaning: Immediately after cutting nails, wash hands and feet with clean water and apply a little oil or moisturizer.
By keeping in mind these small rules mentioned in astrology, you can not only drive away negativity and poverty from your life, but also by strengthening the position of the planets in your horoscope, you can get happiness, peace and abundant blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
