Puja and shanti rites
The rites classical jyotisha pairs with each graha, and with the doshas people most often ask about. Every entry cites the text it comes from.
A shanti rite is a pacification observance, not a transaction. The sources below describe what each rite is for and when it is traditionally performed; none of them promise an outcome, and neither does this page. Which rite suits a chart - or whether one is called for at all - is a question for someone who has read the chart.
