Will my brother recover from his depression?

Namaste Arnav Ji, I deeply empathize with your concern for your brother, Rehan (born January 8, 1990, at 5:20 AM in Chennai). When a man of his age, a Sagittarius Ascendant (Dhanu Lagna), loses his job, it is not merely a financial loss; it is a "Dharmic Collapse." In his chart, the 10^{th} house of Karma is currently being transited by Ketu, while Saturn is casting a restrictive aspect on his natal Mars. Mars is the planet of "Purushartha" (effort), and when it is suppressed, a man becomes withdrawn and loses his "Tejas" (radiant confidence). He is not being lazy; he is experiencing a "planetary paralysis" where his mind tells him that no matter what he does, he will fail. Remedy & Problem Solution: ● The Sundarkand Path: Rehan must recite or listen to the Sundarkand every Saturday. This chapter of the Ramayana describes Hanuman Ji’s journey to find Sita against all odds. Astrologically, this activates the "Sankat Mochan" energy, clearing the Ketu-shadow from his career house. It will rebuild his confidence from the roots up. ● Mars Empowerment: He should wear a triangular Red Coral (Moonga) in a copper or gold ring on his ring finger on a Tuesday morning. This will "re-ignite" his Mars, giving him the physical and mental energy to stop withdrawing and start applying for new opportunities. ● Feed the Birds: He should feed soaked chickpeas (Chana) to birds or monkeys on Tuesdays. This satisfies the "Commander" planet Mars and removes the "career-blockage" karma. ● Vastu for Confidence: Ensure Rehan sits facing the North or East while searching for jobs. This aligns him with the "Kubera" and "Indra" directions of growth and authority.
