Dhanteras is one of Hinduism’s most auspicious days, marking the start of diwali celebrations and the arrival of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, along with Lord Kubera, the god of prosperity. Every year, devotees eagerly purchase gold, silver, and utensils to invite fortune into their homes.
But this year, astrologers are issuing a stern warning: Steel utensils are a no-go. While they may seem practical, steel may actually attract the wrong kind of energy — the slow, restrictive influence of Saturn (Shani) — instead of Venus’ bright, wealth-friendly vibrations. Ignore this advice at your own risk.
🛑 WHY ASTROLOGERS WARN AGAINST STEEL
Steel Lacks Planetary Energy
Astrologically, Dhanteras is ruled by Venus (Shukra), the planet of luxury, brightness, and prosperity. Metals like gold, silver, copper, and brass naturally resonate with Venus’ positive energy.
Steel, however, is an alloy — a mix of iron and carbon. iron is governed by Saturn (Shani), the planet of discipline, delay, and restriction. When you buy steel on Dhanteras, astrologers believe you are inviting Saturn’s slow and restrictive energy, which contradicts the bright, wealth-friendly vibe of the day.
Steel vs. Pure Metals: A Cosmic Clash
Gold & Silver: Attract abundance, good luck, and positive energy.
Copper & Brass Utensils: Symbolize prosperity and abundance in the home and kitchen.
Steel: Neutral at best, harmful at worst — it blocks Venus’ auspicious influence and may even delay financial gains.
Astrologers say that while steel is common in daily life, Dhanteras is not the day for compromise. The universe rewards adherence to cosmic rules, not shortcuts.
