Key Takeaways
- Believe in good karma, not just karma. Karma includes both good and bad actions; your present actions shape your destiny.
- Respect the idol in your car. If you keep a god idol on the dashboard, avoid smoking, drinking and abusive language in front of it. Otherwise, respectfully remove it.
- Your name’s vibration matters. A small spelling change can shift a name’s numerology. Names that total 4, 7 or 8 often see more struggle.
- 5 and 6 are the numbers everyone wants. 5 is the money-flow number; 6 is Venus – luxury and comfort. Too much of one number (like 666) needs balancing.
- 2026 adds up to 1 – the year of the King (Sun). Punctuality, discipline, leadership and listening before reacting are the keys to success in 2026.
- Keep alum (fitkari) in the corners of your home in a glass bowl to absorb negative energy.
- Always keep a tortoise on a plate of water, never directly on the floor, to keep life moving.
- Never take a decision in anger – or in extreme happiness. Pause, let your energy settle, then decide.
- Horoscopes are an indication, not an instruction. Don’t give up your peace of mind for a generic daily prediction.

Should You Keep a God Idol in Your Car?
Ankitt opens with a common contradiction: people place an idol or photo of God on the dashboard, then smoke, drink or use abusive language inside the same car. Monica explains that it depends on why the idol is there. Some keep it as a protection shield, others out of faith. But when you smoke in front of it, the smoke goes straight to the God you believe in, and harsh words spoken over a Bluetooth call become part of the car’s vibration.
“You think God is only watching from above? You have seated Him right in front of you to watch.”
Her advice: if you keep puja items in your car, keep control over your behaviour. If you can’t, respectfully remove the idol – the way Ganesh ji is given a respectful visarjan – rather than invite the opposite of protection.
Good Karma vs Karma
Introducing herself, Monica says she simply walks the path God has shown her. She makes a clear distinction: “I believe in good karma, not karma”, because karma includes both good and bad deeds. The more positive we keep our energy, the more it reflects in our present actions and reactions. Our mind, she says, can create a disaster or play a masterstroke – it’s our choice.
Gambling and Alcohol on Diwali: What It Does to Your Home’s Energy
Ankitt raises another modern trend: families do Lakshmi–Ganesh puja on Diwali, and within hours the same room hosts card games, gambling, alcohol and loud music. Monica explains the meaning of Jyotish – jyoti (light) and Ish (God), the light given by God – and says values (sanskaar) begin at home. Her sons learned to touch elders’ feet simply by watching her.
She adds that Diwali is a message to release ego and negativity and return to the light, just as Lord Ram returned. If cards and gambling happen in the same room as the Diwali puja, the aura of that space turns negative and the blessings of Maa Lakshmi and Ganpati ji are reduced. Her one-line request: don’t gamble in or near the place where you perform Diwali puja.
Name Change Numerology: Does One Letter Really Matter?
Ankitt shares that Monica changed his own name spelling to Ankitt (with a double T). Monica explains that in numerology, whatever “travels” with you – your name, your mobile number and even your signature – affects you.
- Signature: an upward flow means your graph is rising. Dots, cuts or lines through the signature create pauses.
- Name vibration: names that total 4, 7 or 8 tend to bring more struggle, unless Rahu is strong and well placed in the chart.
- Small change, big shift: adding one letter changes the vibration of the whole name. That’s why many cricketers and film stars change their name spelling.
She also warns business owners who come to her wanting quick money: nothing happens overnight. “You can put glasses on the planets for a while, but eventually you have to take them off.”
Mobile Number Numerology: Why 5 and 6 Matter
According to Monica, the total of your mobile number sets its flow. 5 is the number of money flow, and 6 is Venus (Shukra) – luxury and a comfortable material life. When Ankitt mentions his number has triple 6, she explains that too much of anything is harmful. Triple 6 means you must work three times as hard to reach that luxury, so the vibration needs to be balanced. Success, she reminds us, always comes from goals, purpose and consistent action.
Mindset: Illusion vs Intuition
Monica describes the mind’s frequency as running in two directions: positive and negative – or illusion and intuition. If someone scolds you at work, the negative mind wants to react and argue. An aligned mind finds a way out, takes a pause or steps away. “The same mind creates disasters and gives results.”
Never React Instantly
Ankitt notes that big businesses and governments rarely decide on large deals instantly; they take days. Monica agrees: whoever controls the mind can control the body and emotions. Train the mind with micro-habits – decide each morning to do two or three good deeds. Her rule: don’t decide anything in anger, and don’t decide anything when you are extremely happy. Let your energy normalise first.
Simple Morning Habits for Positive Energy
- Gratitude first: as soon as you wake up, thank God for another day.
- Touch your parents’ or elders’ feet: try it for 21 days. When you bow, you release your burden to the earth and receive blessings.
- Chant your mantra: Monica starts chanting Om Namah Shivaya before her eyes are fully open.
- Smile and say thank you: to the waiter, the security guard, anyone. A simple “Ram Ram bhaiya” can change someone’s whole day – and your own vibration.
How to Strengthen Your Intuition
Monica shares what she calls her personal secret: tell everything only to the God or Guru you believe in. Sit for a few seconds at your home’s puja place, close your eyes and say everything you want to receive or release – success, anger, ego. Instead of telling ten people and absorbing ten opinions, speak to the Divine. She says you’ll feel it: your body feels heavy, sometimes tears come, and answers arrive through intuition before time.
She follows the same practice after every consultation: after cleansing herself, she prays for the person she has guided, because “the guidance is mine, the rest is God’s work.”
Aura Protection: Alum (Fitkari) for Negative Energy
Monica says she declines around 30% of consultation requests, because some people are so negative that they absorb your positive energy. Her simple aura protection remedies:
- Alum (fitkari) in a glass bowl – keep it in the corners of your home, office or studio. It is inexpensive and easily available.
- Before sleeping – wash your hands and feet well and meditate briefly, so your mind is aligned to receive intuitive messages.
- Don’t share your problems with everyone – most people will criticise or add fear rather than offer solutions.
Evil Eye, Revenge and Healthy Competition
On evil eye and revenge (“they did this to me, I’ll do it to them”), Monica says revenge energy blocks all positivity, no matter how much meditation or manifestation you do. Her approach: don’t erase someone else’s line – draw yours longer. Ankitt adds a children’s example: when you rub out someone else’s words, the eraser wears away faster than the words.
She also shares a wordplay: remove the “L” from WORLD and you get WORD. If God removes the L and turns it into Learning, life becomes beautiful. Rather than asking “how did they get there?”, ask “which skill should I upgrade?”
Goals, Purpose and the Real Value of Money
Monica explains that you must know your goal, what you’ll do after achieving it and how you’ll sustain it. If a wish is fulfilled and it brings misery to the family, the wish itself becomes a problem. Doing something for yourself without harming anyone is good karma; “my good first, others later” is not ethics.
Later in the episode, she adds that money and the peace of money are different. Many people are happy on a monthly salary without EMIs, while others with ancestral property take crore-rupee loans to grow it further. Credit cards can buy enjoyment, but you still have to pay the EMI.
Environment and Karma: You Get Back What You Give
Ankitt shares how a friend taught him to stop littering – and how that one change led him to work on government projects in the energy sector, climate neutrality and sustainability. Monica agrees: whatever you give nature returns to you. She picks up litter in malls and holds it until she finds a dustbin, and her two sons now do the same. Children learn habits by watching you, not by being told.
Vastu Tip: Never Hammer a Nail in the Centre of the Main Door
Asked about the nail many people fix in the middle of the house or main entrance, Monica says the main door is the centre of your home’s energy. “What if I hammered a nail into your forehead?” A nail in the centre creates cracks, hurdles and stuckness. According to vastu, astrology and numerology, no nail should go in the centre of the home or main door.
Should You Follow Daily Horoscopes?
Ankitt questions late-night TV horoscopes that predict tomorrow for millions of people. Monica explains that a horoscope works according to each person’s own kundli, houses and planets – a general one cannot fit everyone. Reading a horoscope isn’t wrong, but letting it control your energy and destroy your peace of mind is. Stars stay aligned when your karmas are good and you sleep peacefully.
Ankitt shares a story from his first job interview: he wore the “lucky colour” from his horoscope, but the interviewer fell ill and left. Monica’s comparison: a prediction is like a GPS – useful, but it changes with traffic. “Prediction is for indication, not for blind following.”
“I’m showing you a light in a dark tunnel. I’m not saying fold your hands and sit, and tomorrow you’ll become Ambani.”
Tarot Cards: An Old Indian Tradition
Monica, who also reads tarot on Astrotalk, points out that card reading isn’t new to India. Remember the pandit under the tree whose parrot picked a card? The cards are the same; they have simply been refined abroad and returned as a trend.
Can You Keep God Idols in the Bedroom?
- Students: keep an idol of Maa Saraswati or a peacock feather. Monica says a peacock feather reduces Rahu–Ketu effects, confusion and lack of concentration.
- Married couples: only a picture of Radha Krishna or an image with loving vibrations. No other idols.
- Everyone else: your bedroom is your private place, and God has His own place – the home temple.
If you want to move an idol out of the bedroom, you don’t need visarjan. Simply place it in your temple or another respectful corner of the house.

2026 Numerology Prediction: The Year of the King
In 2025, many people were told not to write “2025” in one go, as it connects with Saturn (Shani), the lord of karma. Monica says honest people with good karma have nothing to fear. 2026 adds up to 10, and then to 1 – the number of the King and the Sun (Surya).
What the number 1 energy of 2026 asks from you
- Punctuality: the Sun rises on time. “If you’re not punctual, 2026 is not for you.” Wake early, do Surya Namaskar and offer water to the Sun.
- Leadership and teamwork: a king looks after all his people.
- Listen before you speak: a king listens to everyone first and never decides after hearing only one side.
- No emotional decisions: the double 2 doubles everything – emotional decisions bring double problems.
- Watch the pull of 6 (Venus): it will tempt you towards luxury; you decide whether you truly need it.
- Balance relationships and work.
- A year of new beginnings: anything new you start can succeed – with punctuality and discipline.
Start these changes from December itself if you want 2026 to go well.
Dogs and Astrology: Should You Feed a Black Dog?
Ankitt asks about the confusion around dogs in astrology. Monica says keeping a dog can bring astrological benefits, and feeding a black dog (roti, milk, bread or biscuits) is traditionally believed to please Shani Dev. However, in her view, if a couple in the home is trying to conceive, a pet dog at home may block that energy. She suggests feeding dogs at a set place in the park or apartment instead. Her key message: half knowledge always creates problems – consult someone you trust before applying any remedy.
Tortoise Vastu Tip: Always Keep It on a Plate of Water
Ankitt shares that a visitor once told him his tortoise figurine needed water. He placed it on a plate with water, and a stuck piece of work moved within two hours. Monica explains why: a tortoise placed directly on the ground absorbs the earth’s stagnant energy, creating hurdles. Water represents emotions and movement.
Her tip: keep your tortoise – crystal, brass or any material – on a plate filled with water, and keep refilling it as it dries. It indicates emotional balance and growth.
Closing Message
Monica ends with her motto, “Attitude is my gratitude.” She asks everyone to treat astrology as a tool and a path – never to follow it blindly – and to avoid being misguided.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the numerology prediction for 2026?
2026 adds up to 1 (2+0+2+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1), the number of the King and the Sun. According to Monica Kapoor, it is a year of new beginnings that rewards punctuality, discipline, leadership and listening before reacting. Emotional decisions can bring double problems because of the double 2.
Can changing the spelling of my name change my luck?
In numerology, your name carries a vibration that affects your work, personality and daily life. Monica explains that adding a single letter changes the vibration of the whole name. Names that total 4, 7 or 8 often face more struggle unless Rahu is strong in the birth chart.
Which mobile number total is lucky in numerology?
Monica says 5 (money flow) and 6 (Venus – luxury and comfort) are the numbers most people need. Too much of a single number, such as 666, should be balanced.
How do you use alum (fitkari) to remove negative energy?
Place a piece of alum in a glass bowl and keep it in the corners of your home, office or shop, where negative energy tends to settle.
Where should a vastu tortoise be kept?
Always keep the tortoise on a plate filled with water, never directly on the floor, and refill the water regularly. Monica says this keeps life moving and supports growth and emotional balance.
Can we keep a god idol in the bedroom?
Students can keep Maa Saraswati or a peacock feather to improve concentration. Married couples should keep only a Radha Krishna image. Otherwise, idols belong in the home temple, not the bedroom.
Is it okay to smoke or drink in a car with a god idol?
Monica advises against it. If you keep an idol in your car, avoid smoking, drinking and abusive language in front of it. If that isn’t possible, respectfully remove the idol.
How can I strengthen my intuition?
Monica’s practice is to share your worries and wishes only with the God or Guru you believe in. Sit quietly at your puja place for a few moments each day, and wash your hands and feet and meditate before sleeping.
Should I follow my daily horoscope?
Reading a horoscope is fine, but a real reading depends on your individual kundli. Use predictions as an indication, not a rule, and don’t let them disturb your peace of mind.
