In Vedic astrology and spiritual traditions, feeding fish is a subtle but very powerful way to balance the energy of the planets and clean up your karmic sphere. Fish, which live in water, stand for the subconscious, the invisible, and the emotional parts of life.

They live in water, which stands for cleansing and change, and they take in bad energy and help clear up emotional and planetary obstacles. Here are five important astrological reasons to feed fish on a daily basis:
Pacifies Malefic Rahu and Ketu
One of the most common ways to calm the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu, which are known for producing bewilderment, delusions, obsessions, and unexpected karmic upheavals, is to feed fish. If Rahu or Ketu are in a bad spot in the birth chart, especially in the 1st, 5th, 7th, or 8th houses, they can cause emotional problems, problems with relationships, or mental health issues.
Feeding little fish, especially in moving water, helps to move and break up bad vibrations that these grahas give out.
This action gives increased mental clarity and protection from abrupt changes over time.
Enhances Emotional Healing and Inner Calm
Water represents the emotional and subconscious mind in terms of energy. Fish have peaceful and detached vibrations. They go with the flow of life and never fight it. When you feed fish with love, your own emotional baggage start to go away, and your grief or anxiety that you have been holding back starts to go away.
This action automatically makes your mind more stable, tranquil, and emotionally strong. Feeding fish on a regular basis can assist people who are always stressed, scared, or stuck in emotional loops break free from old habits and start healing from the inside out.
Attracts Spiritual Blessings and Positive Energy
In Vedic and Vastu traditions, aquariums and fishponds are said to bring good luck and keep bad energy away. When you feed fish with a pure heart, you're doing a kind act without saying anything.

This makes your aura stronger and opens up channels for spiritual blessings. When you execute this modest act of service regularly, it becomes a sort of seva. Many astrologers suggest this treatment for people suffering through Sade Sati, Shani Dasha, or stressful Moon times since it reduces emotional turmoil and brings heavenly help.
Helps in Legal, Financial, and Career Issues
Rahu and Saturn are generally to blame for delays, legal problems, job instability, or red tape.
Giving fish food is thought to be a good way to get rid of these problems. Because fish are always moving and rarely stay still, they also help your karma "move," producing momentum where there was once immobility. People who are having trouble with their visas, court problems, or money may find respite over time as this technique slowly cancels off bad karma.
Builds Invisible Punya (Merit) and Improves Relationships
Giving fish food, especially when you don't want anything in return, gives you sookshma punya (subtle spiritual merit). You start to see this merit in your relationships as you become less reactive and more emotionally stable. Giving food to a live thing without expecting anything in return also makes your ego softer and helps bring more peace to relationships. Venus and the Moon, which control emotional intelligence and relationship peace, get stronger and more helpful in the chart when people give consistently.
