Well, there is very little a common man like you and me, can do in national and international events. You are more concerned of your life and there is always room for improvisations. उद्दरेदात्मनात्मानम् नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बंधुः आत्मैव रिपुरात्मनः॥ - 5, atma samyama yoga, Srimadbhagawad geeta.  [Let man raise by himself, let him not lower himself, for he alone is his friend, he alone is  enemy of himself]. Running after Shri Sriman,  Shri Srimathi, Durbash Chatri or Jugheads is futile! You are your own guru (durguru or sadguru).  As Jiddu krishanma murthy (truly, he is the enlightened and modest) implores to find your own truth. In present day world, it is not merely waste of time, it is wasting your soul and the venture is wrought with dangers. Do whatever possible by yourself, as laid down in your religion and ask for divine help. Remedial measures as mentioned for your moon-sign should be taken up.  Any shanti kriya need not be done every month nor in a particular temple or place. Shanti once in a year will suffice.  Intervention of priests should be kept at the minimum. ಗ್ರಹಗತಿಯ ತಿದ್ದುವನೆ ಜೋಯಿಸನು ಜಾತಕದಿ| ವಿಹಿತವಾಗಿಹುದದರ ಗತಿ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿವಿಧಿಯಿಂ|| ಸಹಿಸಿದಲ್ಲದೆ ಮುಗಿಯದಾವ ದಶೆ ಬಂದೊಡಂ| ಸಹನೆ ವಜ್ರದ ಕವಚ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ|| - DVG. [Does the astrologer change the horoscope? Trends happen as per natural procedures. Whatever the event, one should endure. Patience is the armor of diamond]. First of all, one should not commit sins - there is no excuse when a scholar kills his wife.  As T P Kailasam said, "All the world is the stage but there are no side wings to rest for a while!" If one is in difficulty, one look at the horoscope by an astrologer is ample. Then one should take up remedial measures seriously. There is no point in visiting all the world famous astrologers in Delhi, Noida and Bangalore.

Remedial measures for shani, guru, rahu or ketu are indicated for each moon-sign, if need be.  Such remedial measures should be taken up without any delay.

 If the eclipses take place in adverse signs from your moon sign,  remedial measures like rudrabhesekha, recitation of mantras for ravi and chandra is desirable.
