We have known about gem stones from our ancient time, they
also find mention in ancient puranas as all the nine vedic
astrogical gemstones have been clearly mentioned.
Precious stones (and metals) have fascinated mankind
by their
sheer luminosity and colour, and have served as items of
adornment reinforced by a belief in their occult powers.
Since Vedic times it has been an accepted belief that gems
have curative and prophylactic qualities that influence
man's fate. People seek guidance from wise astrologers to
select a particular gemstone that will enhance their fortune
and protect them from evil planetary influence.
In this feature, I shall discuss the talismanic
qualities of various gemstones. While choosing one’s
birthstone it is important to select it after detailed study
of one’s birth-chart. One should neither select one’s
birthstone according to the month in which one is born nor
on the strength of one’s Zodiac sign. These are broad
classification and hence may not be very effective. It is
only through a proper study of the birth-chart of an
individual through astrology that can reveal the best
gemstone for the person.
After erecting the horoscope, the astrologer has to
ascertain the strength of each planet and their effects on
the individual. A planet found weak in birth-chart tends to
harm and hinder the progress of a person. In such an event,
astrologer advises him/her to wear the gemstone governed by
this particular planet. Sometimes the astrologers advise to
wear particular gemstones, whose ruler is situated very
strongly, in one’s nativity. This helps to enhance the good
qualities indicated by the planet to assure progress,
prosperity, physical and mental well being of the person.
Even the physical characteristics of an individual could
give us a clue as to the person’s ruling planet. Once you
have understood the ruling planet by observing the physical
built, the personality, likes and dislikes, and the choice
of profession, it will become easier for you to choose your
lucky gemstones. In this feature on gems, I have tried to
elucidate qualities of each gemstone, and also the
professions ruled by different planets.
There are nine planets, nav-graha, governing nine
gems, nav-ratna, traditionally accepted in Hindu astrology.
These are Sun, -governing ruby, Moon - pearl, Mars – coral,
Mercury – emerald, Jupiter, - Pukhraj or yellow sapphire,
Venus - diamond, Saturn - Blue sapphire, Rahu, - Hessonite
and Ketu – cat’s eye.
Astral gemstones can be worn, either singly or in
combination. The traditionally favoured combination being
the nav-ratna. As this combination is very powerful in its
effects, it should be worn under the direction of an
astrologer. No two stones governed by planets hostile and
inimical towards one another should be placed adjacently.
Even if one single planet is badly situated in one’s birth
chart, its inclusion in the combination could counter the
beneficial effects of other gems. Other important aspect to
be considered is the purpose for which a gemstone is to be
worn. If it is for physical well being then one has to wear
a gemstone, which governs one’s physical health. Even those
well versed in astrology are likely to overlook this
important aspect while prescribing a birthstone. Imagine one
who needs a boost in his career wears a precious stone,
which governs his health. He is sure to be hale and hearty
but will continue to struggle throughout his life without
achieving any success in career
