The planetary alignments in our birth charts provide unique challenges and lessons for each of us. Sanskrit mantras can be used to ease the difficult alignments you have been blessed with and change your planetary karma. I encourage you to give it a go, see how they feel in your body when you recite them.
Below are a list of mantras for the ten planets and the nodes of the moon. If you are having difficulty with a particular area of your life select the mantra for the corresponding planet and work with it daily for forty consecutive days. Sometimes there may be more than one planet involved due to shared aspects between the planets in which case you can choose to work with both mantras daily for forty consecutive days or work with one for forty days followed by the other for forty days, do what feels best for you.
