As soon as the new year arrives, everyone wants that the past should be left behind and the coming year should bring happiness, progress and financial strength. The month of January is considered a symbol of this new beginning. This month is also considered special in astrology and Vastu Shastra because small measures taken in the first days of the year decide the atmosphere of the entire year. In such a situation, if proper attention is paid to some simple things to the house, then an increase in both wealth and happiness can be seen. In Hindu beliefs, broom is not considered only as a cleaning tool. It is associated with Goddess Lakshmi and it is said that proper use of the broom removes negative energy from the house and brings positivity inside. Astrology also believes that the broom is directly to financial stability, control over expenses and freedom from poverty. In the beginning of the year 2026, the movement of planets is bringing new opportunities for many zodiac signs. In such a time, if some special rules and measures to broom are adopted in the month of January, then financial problems can remain away for the whole year. These measures seem very small, but their effect lasts for a long time. According to Vrindavan’s astrologer Radhakant Vats, if three tasks to broom are done on the right day and in the right way in January, then the blessings do not stop in the house. Let us know those three special solutions

1. Discarding the old broom and arrival of the new broom
The first week of January is considered the best time to clean the energy of the house. Especially on Saturday, old, broken or excessively worn brooms should be thrown out of the house. According to Vaastu beliefs, a broken broom can increase unnecessary fights, financial crunch and mental stress in the house. Many people keep using the same broom for years, which is not considered right. While taking out the old broom from the house, keep in mind that instead of throwing it in the garbage, throw it in a deserted place or in flowing water. It is believed that this also removes negative energy from the house. The time of Krishna Paksha is considered auspicious for buying a new broom. Try to bring the broom home in the evening. When you bring home a new broom in January, tie a white or white-blue thread on its handle. According to astrological beliefs, this balances the effects of Rahu and Saturn and maintains the flow of money. Do not use the new broom directly, first keep it near the temple of the house and pray to Goddess Lakshmi in your mind.

2. Correct direction and way to keep the broom
Often people keep the broom anywhere after cleaning, whereas according to Vastu, this is considered a big mistake. The broom should always be kept in a place where it cannot be seen by anyone. Just as we keep our money or valuables hidden, similarly a broom should also not be kept in the open. From January onwards, make it a rule that the broom should always be kept lying in the south or south-west direction. These directions are associated with stability and security. A broom should never be kept upright, as it is considered a sign of loss of money and sudden expenses. Apart from this, it is also not considered right to keep a broom near the bed, eating place or puja room. A broom kept at the right place maintains the prosperity of the house and automatically starts controlling unnecessary expenses. It is believed that if this habit is formed in January, it will be beneficial for the whole year.

3. Remedy for cleanliness and secret donation in Brahma Muhurta
If you want that the inflow of money should continue in the year 2026 and the pending work should start getting completed, then definitely take this special measure in January. On any Friday, wake up before sunrise and clean the entire house. This time is called Brahma Muhurta, which is considered very effective from spiritual point of view. After cleaning, take two or three new brooms and keep them quietly on the stairs of a temple or in the temple premises. This is called secret donation. Keep in mind that while donating, do not tell anyone nor make a photo or video of it. Friday is associated with Goddess Lakshmi, hence donating a broom on this day is considered very effective.
