In Hinduism, Sunday holds special spiritual significance. The day is dedicated to Surya Dev (the Sun God) — symbol of energy, success, and prosperity. According to Vastu and astrology, performing good deeds on this day attracts positivity and wards off negativity. However, buying certain items on a Sunday is believed to invite Surya Dosh (solar imbalance), which can affect peace, harmony, and financial stability at home.
Here are a few things you should avoid buying on Sundays:
1. Iron and Steel Items
Purchasing iron or steel on a Sunday is considered inauspicious. Astrologically, the Sun and Saturn (Shani Dev) are said to share an opposing relationship. Since iron is associated with Saturn, buying it on the day of the Sun can lead to conflicts, financial loss, and an increase in negative energy at home.
2. Salt
Salt is connected to Rahu and Saturn, both considered adversaries of the Sun. Buying salt on Sunday is believed to bring debt or financial troubles and can even affect one’s health. To maintain good fortune and peace, it’s best to avoid purchasing salt on this day.
3. Black Footwear
Black represents Saturn’s energy. According to scriptures, wearing or buying black footwear on Sunday can lead to failures, delays, and low motivation. If you must buy footwear, go for red or light-colored pairs, which are seen as auspicious.
4. Broom and Cleaning Items
A broom is seen as a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi, the bringer of wealth and prosperity. Buying cleaning items like brooms or detergents on a Sunday is believed to drive away prosperity and invite poverty. The ideal days for such purchases are Tuesday or Friday.
