Which day is for which Navagraha?

Each day of the week is associated with a specific Navagraha (planetary deity). Worshipping the corresponding planet on its designated day is believed to bring blessings and reduce negative effects in one’s horoscope.

Each planet of the Navagraha is worshipped on a specific day of the week:

Surya: The Sun, on Sundays – Success, leadership, health, power
Chandra: The Moon, on Mondays – Peace, mental stability, emotional balance
Mangala: Mars, on Tuesdays – Courage, strength, victory over enemies
Budha: Mercury, on Wednesdays – Intelligence, communication, business growth
Bṛhaspati: Jupiter, on Thursdays – Wisdom, education, financial prosperity
Shukra: Venus, on Fridays – Love, luxury, beauty, marital happiness
Shani: Saturn, on Saturdays – Hard work, discipline, karma correction
