Nyāsa 3 - Grahanyāsaḥ ( ग्रहन्यासः )
Graha Nyāsa is an amalgamation of the heavenly bodies in our solar system, impacting the lifeforms on Earth through their gravitational power. The grahas have a strong impact on our fate to the extent of influencing our day to day activities. Appeasing the grahas through the Mātṛkā-s helps us gain favorable outcomes in all our activities as well as lessening the burden of karma beset upon us.

Thank you for your reply about the Tara nyasah, I had a question, here it says "east" part of the forehead. Would this be my left, or my right side of the forehead? Thank you so much
