Use of Gemstones in Astrology
Most of life’s problems are due to the fructification of results of our past Karmas. Vedic astrology since the ancient times have believed in the healing powers of gemstones. During the Golden Days, Kings, Rulers and Wealthy families wore gemstones on their crowns, thrones and rings to reap maximum benefits as suggested by their personal astrologers.
Many movie and television personalities are seen wearing astrological grade gemstones We all know that Bollywood’s megastar, Amitabh Bachhan, wears a blue sapphire. He started wearing it after facing few challenging years in his career. Then came the show “Who Wanted to Be a Millionaire” (Kaun Banega Crorepati), which changed his fortunes and he never looked back ever since. Well known celebrity Shilpa Shetty, wear emerald. She got massive fame on a global stage as the Winner of British reality show “Celebrity Big Brother” and have since then established herself as a very successful celebrity and a businesswomen.
Many other TV media Bollywood personalities who wear astrological grade gemstones are: TV soap operas queen, Ekta Kapoor. She wear Yellow sapphires (Pukhraj), emeralds (Panna), diamonds and corals. Nita Ambani, one of the richest and most famous personality, wear an emerald (panna). Celebrated musician, A. R.

All nine planets are nothing but manifestation of Supreme Creator. A few planets together in certain combinations, aspects, exchange or transit can create problems in life. Gems can act a neutralizers, antidote or pacifiers based on one’s personal horoscope. The stones merely carry the vibration of the planet most closely related to it.
The rules to select gemstones with respect to a particular horoscope is hardly ever discussed or disclosed in any astrology text due to professional or secrecy reasons. Also there’s difference in opinion in regards to choice of prescription. Some believe gemstones should be prescribed for the benefic or strong planets whereas some believe that they should be prescribed for weak or malefic planets.
Oftentimes stones are worn without proper guidance, based on ones sunsign or month of birth etc, and as such these choices could prove detrimental, create undesirable effects and sometimes amplify problems. Stone quality, weight, country of origin also play an important role in gemology.
Selection of Gemstones and Procedure to wear them:
There are three important factors to be looked into while selecting Gemstones.
a) The top most factor is selection of correct Gemstone that is required for the native. There are many school of thoughts prevailing within the Astrologers. But to my experience, selection of Gemstone which is beneficial in the chart in all aspects could be chosen either to increase the beneficial effect or to reduce the malefic effect of the other malefic planet. Furthermore one can also wear the Gem of a planet which is the best beneficial one in the chart which can bring luck or prosperity in one’s life as a Lucky Gemstone. Most importantly, the benefic and malefic planets have to be carefully analyzed after deep study on the chart considering the stellar and sublord level significations.
b) The second factor is Originality and Purity of the Gemstone: After selecting the proper Gemstone to be worn, getting an astrological grade original Gemstone is more important and is difficult as there are many fake/duplicates in the market. But i can get them with lab test report from reliable sources.
c) Lastly,The procedure: Before wearing any gemstone, there are Rituals followed to purify and energize the gemstone by using associated mantras and poojas .
There are also certain procedure that is followed while wearing the gemstone eg. Time, Day, Date for wearing it. The correct Size/Weight recommendation of the gemstone as per the Shadbal, Bhavbal and the right metal ring required to encase it.
Gemstone Remedies:
As a professional astrologer, i will study your horoscope in great detail, do the necessary calculations upto sub lord level (the further division of nakshatras) , after that will recommend you the most suitable gemstone as per your lagna ( ascendant) , as per the positions of the planets associated with the gemstone in your kundli (chart or horoscope) and advise you a suitable Gemstone.
By wearing the Gemstone(s) of beneficial planet(s), you would absorb more rays from associated planet(s) like a receiver that receives the light rays and pass the cosmic energy into our body. This would increase the influence of the beneficial planet(s) and strengthen the beneficial elements so that this could create balance, or reduce the negative energy of the malefic planets.
Gemstones can be worn for the following reasons:
1. Gemstone Therapy for a Particular problem as a remedy: is to enhance benefic energy of a beneficial planet either to balance or reduce the impact of a particular problem due to certain planets or periods. This is advised to wear it for a particular period of time. Important Note: The astrologer will decide the requirement of any Gem therapy for a particular problem in life, only after thorough study on the chart.
2. Gems as Lucky Gem(s) : To enhance positive energy of the beneficial planet(s) according to one’s chart to bring all around prosperity, well being and luck into one’s life This gemstone(s) is advised to wear it for the life time.
One must always consult an experienced Vedic, KP Astrologer and not wear gemstones based upon one’s own limited knowledge gained through reading some online articles or books. Not all astrologers are the same. Wrong selection of Gemstones could worsen the situation instead of bringing the desired results.
