Saturn’s Influence: What Not To Buy On Dhanteras 2025
With Dhanteras 2025 coinciding with Shani’s day, astrologers caution against buying items made of iron, steel, or black metal, as these materials are associated with Saturn and may attract his malefic effects. Avoid purchasing black-coloured goods or mustard oil, both traditionally linked to Shani Dev.
Leather items should also be avoided, as they are considered inauspicious when bought under Saturn’s influence. Instead, focus on purchases that attract positive planetary vibrations and divine grace.
Dhanteras 2025 Shopping Tips
Buying utensils on Dhanteras is a long-standing tradition, symbolising abundance and prosperity. However, this year, ensure that the utensils you buy are made of brass, copper, or silver, rather than iron-based steel. When bringing them home, fill them with water, coriander seeds, or sweets, a symbolic gesture believed to attract Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings.
These small yet meaningful acts ensure that both Shani Dev and Maa Lakshmi shower their combined grace, protecting your household from misfortune and ensuring year-round prosperity.
This Dhanteras reminds us that true wealth is not only measured by material prosperity but also by spiritual peace and balance. By being mindful of the cosmic influences, especially Saturn’s, devotees can align their actions with the universal flow of blessings and light.
Observing these ancient traditions ensures that Goddess Lakshmi’s abundance and Shani Dev’s discipline work in harmony, bringing both material success and inner peace into your life.
