HOW DONATE(DAAN, CHARITY) CERTAIN ARTICLES WHICH HELPS TO REDUCE THE NEGATIVE EFFECT OF DEBILATED PLANETS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

What, When, and Whom to Donate to?

Donation is one of the ways that one can improve the negative effects from planets. Learn the types of donations you can do and the types of donations you should never do for each planet.
Giving donation is a social good and also has astrological significance. Some people give donations to show off their social status, in which case, their donation does not count. On the other hand, some people don't take donations seriously due to which they don't get the benefits of the donations. 

Whom to donate to:

It's important that the donation be given to someone poor - not to someone who is capable of providing for himself.
Along with the poor, the donation can be given to a cow, crow, cat, bull, dog, or a camel.
One can also donate to Brahmans - Hindu priests and to young girls who are less than 8 years in age.
One should always do some form of donation to places that provide education.
Donating to the poor who are elderly is another good way to get positive results from your donation.
Other forms of donations are: blood donation, kanyadaan (donation given to girls at their marriage), sharir-daan (body donation), tree donation, shram-daan (volunteer work), bhumi-daan (real estate donation), gyaan-daan (knowledge), fruit donation, medicine donation - these should be donated at some point in one's life and they prove very beneficial to the giver. 

Types of donations:

There are different types of donations - you may give some money to some holy place that you visit, which is always positive for the giver. However, there are some donations which need to be given to certain people on a given day/time in a certain way and if these donations are not done correctly, then the giver will not benefit from them.
Many people tend to do some regular donations to keep certain planets in balance, however, they should be careful about the following combinations in their birth chart before doing any regular donations:
If someone's Sun is in Aries or Leo, then one should not donate wheat regularly. Such people should donate the "bel" tree or the "shwetaark" tree or offer these trees to a temple.
If one's Moon is in Taurus or Cancer, then one should not regularly donate milk, silver, rice, pearl, and juicy fruits.
If one's Mars is in Aries, Scorpio, or Capricorn, then one should not regularly donate sweets, sindoor, earth, and soil.
If one's Mercury is in Gemini or in Virgo, then one should not regularly donate trees, fruits, green clothes, whole moong, or green grass.
If one's Jupiter is in Cancer, Sagittarius, or Pisces, then one should not regularly donate gold, books, besan or sweets made of besan (gram flour).
If one's Venus is in Libra or Pisces, then one should not regularly donate white clothes, sugar, paneer, sweets, batasha or ghee. Also, they should not let the women of their home or the servants who clean their home to go clean in someone else's home as it can cause harm to them.
If one's Capricorn is in Libra, Capricorn, or in Aquarius, then one should not regularly donate alcohol, meat, black clothes, iron, oil, urad dal, or things made of iron. If they do donate these, then the donation will cause losses.
