September 13 horoscope: planetary shifts to favour these zodiac signs

Today brings a notable planetary alignment. The Moon and Mercury are both in Virgo, Venus is in Libra, Rahu is in Aquarius, Saturn is in Pisces, Mars is in Gemini, Jupiter is in Cancer and the Sun is in Leo. The remaining planets continue in their earlier positions. According to Sujit Ji Maharaj, one should recite the Sunderkand today and worship Lord Shiva. The Batuk Bhairav Stotra should also be recited, since purity of mind, devotion and the guru's grace are considered essential for worship. Tantra shastra places special importance on the worship of Bhairav, so those facing any tantric trouble should worship him. Along with Bhairav, the entire family of Shiva should be worshipped today, and durva grass should be offered to Ganpati, since Ganpati, who removes obstacles and ensures success in any task, is worshipped first in any puja.

To atone for the sins of a past life and make this life meaningful, chanting the name of Lord Krishna is advised. The Sun's seed mantra should also be chanted. Planting peepal, pakad, bel, banyan and mango trees around a Shiva temple is said to erase the sins of many lifetimes and bring happiness and prosperity. Grain and water should be kept for birds on the roof of the house. Since today is Sunday, worship the Sun, read the Shri Aditya Hridaya Stotra three times, chant the Gayatri mantra, and seek blessings by touching your father's feet.
