In Vedic astrology, good fortune (शुभ भाग्य) is seen as the combined result of your karma, planetary alignments, and spiritual efforts. While destiny shapes opportunities, your actions, rituals, and mindset can open the doors to wealth, success, and joy.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or unlucky, it might be time to realign your energy with these time-tested spiritual practices. Here are 7 rituals that invite prosperity and harmony into life.
1. Lakshmi Puja on Fridays
Goddess Lakshmi is the divine giver of wealth, abundance, and joy.
- Ritual: On Friday evening, light a ghee diya facing north. Offer 5 red flowers, some uncooked rice, and chant the mantra:
“ॐ श्रीं महालक्ष्म्यै नमः“ 108 times. - Astrological Tip: If Venus (Shukra) is weak in your birth chart, this puja can strengthen it, improving financial stability.
2. Feed Crows on Saturdays
- In Vedic belief, crows are considered messengers of our ancestors (Pitru) and are closely linked to planet Saturn (Shani).
- Ritual: Every Saturday, before 9:00 AM IST, feed crows with black sesame seeds, cooked rice, and a few drops of mustard oil.
- Benefit: This practice helps clear obstacles, lessens Saturn’s adverse influence, and draws ancestral blessings into your life.
3. Keep a Gomti Chakra in Your Cash Box
Gomti Chakras, found in the Gomti River of Dwarka, are considered powerful symbols of fortune.
- Ritual: on any Friday in Shukla Paksha in order to energize the Gomti Chakra. Wash it with raw milk, offer a short prayer, and then keep it in your locker, wallet, or cash box.
- Benefit: This is believed to magnetize wealth, ensure financial stability, and safeguard your possessions from loss.
4. Chant the Vishnu Sahasranama Daily
Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, bestows both worldly prosperity and spiritual growth.
- Ritual: Read or listen to the Vishnu Sahasranama early morning between 6 AM – 8 AM IST.
- Astrological Note: This balances Jupiter (Guru), bringing wisdom and financial growth.
5. Offer Water to the Sun
Surya (Sun God) is the source of life, health, and vitality.
- Ritual: At sunrise, offer water from a copper vessel to the Sun while chanting:
“ॐ घृणि सूर्याय नमः”. - Benefit: Boosts confidence, leadership skills, and career success, key elements for good fortune.
6. Light a Lamp at the Tulsi Plant
The sacred Tulsi plant is linked to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu.
- Ritual: Light a ghee diya near the Tulsi plant in the evening after sunset and circumambulate it 7 times.
- Benefit: Removes negative energy and invites prosperity into the household.
7. Wear a Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter Blessings (Only if astrologically suitable)
- Ritual: If your chart shows a strong Jupiter placement, wear a natural yellow sapphire (Pukhraj) set in gold on your right-hand index finger, on a Thursday morning in Shukla Paksha.
- Benefit: Brings wealth, wisdom, and harmonious relationships.
- Important: Always consult a qualified astrologer before wearing gemstones, as the wrong one can cause harm.
Practical Lifestyle Tips for Attracting Good Fortune
While rituals are powerful, they work best when combined with mindful habits:

Final Thought
Good fortune is not just luck—it’s a blend of planetary blessings, positive karma, and conscious actions. As the Bhagavad Gita says:
“कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन”
You have the right to perform your duty, but not to the fruits of your actions.
When you perform these rituals with faith, patience, and a generous heart, the universe aligns to bring wealth, joy, and lasting happiness into your life.
Q: Which is the simplest ritual to start attracting good fortune at home?
A: Offering water to the Sun (Surya Arghya) every morning at sunrise is one of the easiest and most powerful rituals. It requires no elaborate setup—just a copper vessel with water and the mantra “ॐ घृणि सूर्याय नमः”. This daily practice boosts positivity, career growth, and overall prosperity.
