Why the Rudraksha Ruling Planet and Deity Matter
Vedic astrology teaches that our lives are influenced by the Navagraha, the nine planetary energies. Each rudraksha mukhi is associated with one of these grahas and with a deity who governs that energy. By wearing the bead linked to a particular planet, devotees believe they can balance or strengthen that planet's influence in their chart. To see the individual qualities of each face in more depth, pair this chart with our rudraksha mukhi benefits guide.

How to Use the Chart

Consult your birth chart or an astrologer to identify which planet is weak or troubling. For example, a difficult Saturn may lead you towards the 7 or 14 Mukhi.
Step 2: Match the Deity You Wish to Invoke
If you feel drawn to a particular deity, the chart lets you choose accordingly. For instance, devotees of Hanuman may prefer the 11 Mukhi.
Step 3: Chant the Correct Beej Mantra
Once you have your bead, energise it with the matching beej mantra. You can also strengthen the planet with the relevant Navagraha beej mantras for a complete remedy.
