What is gemstone astrology?
Acharya Devraj ji, the greatest astrologer of Vedic astrology says about gem astrology that gemstone astrology is a branch of Vedic astrology that deals with the study and application of precious gemstones with the aim to influence the planetary effects on a person. According to him, each gemstone corresponds to a specific planet in our solar system, and wearing the right gem can enhance the positive aspects of that planet in an individual's life. Practitioners of gemstone astrology consider the positioning of planets at the time of birth to recommend gemstones that can bring health, wealth, luck, and prosperity, or mitigate negative influences. Each planet exudes certain energies that can be balanced or augmented through the vibrations emanating from corresponding gemstones. This practice is not just about aesthetics; it's deeply interwoven with the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of Vedic traditions.
How to find your lucky gemstone according to Indian astrology?
Indian Vedic Astrology Expert Acharya Devraj Ji says that your lucky gemstone is determined based on your horoscope or 'Janam Kundali,' which is a chart of the heavens at the exact time of your birth. To find your lucky gemstone, an astrologer will examine the positions of planets and the ascendant (Lagna) in your birth chart. Each planet is associated with a specific gemstone; for example, Ruby for the Sun, Pearl for the Moon, and Emerald for Mercury. The idea is to wear a gemstone that corresponds to a benefic planet in your chart, which can be either a strong well-placed planet or a weak but favorable one that needs strengthening.
Selection of Gemstones in Therapy
Expert Vedic Astrologer Acharya Devraj Ji believes that selection of gemstones is a meticulous process that requires a detailed examination of an individual's horoscope, which requires accurate analysis of the horoscope based on date and time of birth. According to your birth chart Astrologers look at the positions of the planets, the zodiac signs they occupy, their aspects, and the planetary periods (Dashas) and sub-periods (AntarDashas) the person is currently experiencing. Based on this complex analysis, a gemstone is recommended that is most likely to yield beneficial results for the wearer.
Which are the suitable gems for different ascendants?
In Vedic astrology, the suitable gemstone for an individual is closely related to their ascendant, or the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of their birth. Here's a simplified guide:
It's important to consult a knowledgeable astrologer as there are many considerations, including which planets are benefic or malefic for a particular Lagna, the overall planetary periods (Dasha), and current transits (Gochar).
What gemstone should be used for life, health, and progress?
The selection of gemstones for life, health, and progress is highly individual and should be done based on a thorough analysis of one's birth chart. However, some general associations are:
Gemstone For life force and vitality: Ruby, associated with the Sun, is believed to enhance overall well-being and leadership qualities.
Gemstone For health: Pearl, linked to the Moon, is often recommended for emotional balance and to strengthen the mind, while Coral, associated with Mars, is believed to bolster physical health and energy.
Gemstone For progress: Emerald, representing Mercury, is thought to aid in communication and intellect, which can lead to progress in one's career. Yellow Sapphire, representing Jupiter, is believed to bring wisdom and prosperity, and Blue Sapphire, associated with Saturn, is thought to bring discipline and focus, which can help in achieving long-term goals.
Wearing Gemstones Correctly: It is not just the selection of the gemstone that matters in gemstone therapy, but also how and when it is worn. Different gemstones have specific rules for wearing, such as the metal in which the stone should be set, the finger on which the ring should be worn, and the most auspicious day and time to first wear the gemstone. For example, a Ruby set in gold might be worn on the ring finger on a Sunday, which is the day ruled by the Sun.
In Vedic astrology, each planet is associated with specific gemstones, metals, days of the week, and fingers for wearing the stone. Here are the recommendations for each planet listed:
Sun: Ruby - Metal: Gold - Day: Sunday - Finger: Ring finger
Gender: Both men and women should wear it on the ring finger.
Moon: Pearl - Metal: Silver - Day: Monday - Finger: Little finger
Gender: Both men and women should wear it on the little finger.
Mars: Red Coral - Metal: Gold or copper - Day: Tuesday - Finger: Ring finger
Gender: Both men and women should wear it on the ring finger.
Mercury: Emerald - Metal: Gold - Day : Wednesday - Finger: Little or ring finger
Gender: Both men and women can wear it on the little finger, but some also recommend the ring finger for men.
Jupiter: Yellow Sapphire - Metal: Gold - Day: Thursday - Finger: Index finger
Gender: Both men and women should wear it on the index finger.
Venus: Diamond - Metal: Platinum or silver - Day: Friday - Finger: Ring finger
Gender: Both men and women should wear it on the ring finger.

Quality and Purification : Quality is paramount when selecting gemstones for therapeutic purposes. Astrologers advise that the stones should be high-quality, untreated, and without blemishes to ensure their energies are pure and potent. Before wearing, these gemstones often undergo a purification process, which might include rituals, mantras, and bathing the stones in holy waters or other liquids to cleanse them of any negative energies.
Vedic astrology expert Acharya Devraj Ji believes that gemstone therapy is a time-honored tradition that aligns celestial influences with earthly elements, seeking to harmonize the individual's life force with broader cosmic energies. Wearing specific gemstones that resonate with favorable planetary frequencies like any alternative medicine, interested people should wear the gemstones with an open mind and only after accurate analysis of the birth chart.
Gemstones hold a special place for their ability to influence personal energy and life circumstances. Gemstones should be used with caution in astrology, ideally with the guidance of an experienced astrologer who can provide personalized advice based on a person's unique birth chart.
