Do you cut your nails and hair on the right day?
Our elders believe that there are specific days of the week that are considered auspicious for cutting nails and hair, while some days are considered highly inauspicious according to religious scriptures. According to these beliefs, cutting nails and hair on auspicious days can have positive effects, whereas on inauspicious days, it can negatively impact planetary influences, leading to unfavorable outcomes, such as financial troubles. Let’s understand the impact of cutting nails and hair on each day of the week:
Monday
It is believed that Monday is associated with the Moon, which in astrology is considered the significator of a child's health. If a person cuts their nails or hair on Monday, it may lead to mental stress and negatively affect the health of their children, and they themselves may fall ill. Therefore, it is advised to avoid cutting nails and hair on Monday.
Tuesday
According to religious beliefs, Tuesday is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and is associated with the planet Mars, which is known for its fierce nature but also symbolizes courage and strength. If a person cuts their nails or hair on Tuesday, it is believed to increase anger and potentially reduce lifespan.
Wednesday
Wednesday is considered highly auspicious for cutting nails and hair. If one does so on this day, it is believed to bring prosperity and invite the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Additionally, it strengthens the position of the planet Mercury in one's horoscope, increasing the chances of acquiring a good job, wealth, and fame.
Thursday
Thursday is associated with Lord Vishnu and the planet Jupiter. Cutting hair on this day is considered to invite the displeasure of Goddess Lakshmi, who may leave the house, leading to negative effects on Jupiter in the horoscope and resulting in various inauspicious consequences. It is advised to avoid cutting hair on Thursday for better fortune.
Friday
Friday is considered the day of wealth and beauty. Cutting nails or hair on this day is said to bring the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, leading to success in all areas of life. This day is believed to strengthen the position of Venus in the horoscope, bringing prosperity, fame, and comfort.
Saturday
Cutting nails or hair on Saturday is considered highly inauspicious. It is believed that doing so can lead to premature death, financial loss, and the emergence of ancestral issues. Therefore, it is advised to avoid such activities on Saturday.
Sunday
Sunday is deemed highly inauspicious for cutting hair, as discussed in the ancient texts, including the Mahabharata's Anushasana Parva. Being the day ruled by the Sun, cutting hair on Sunday can lead to the depletion of wealth, intelligence, and righteousness, potentially causing deficiencies in these areas of life. It is better to avoid cutting hair on Sunday unless absolutely necessary for one's well-being.
