How to Select the Right Gemstone Based on Your Birth Chart

Gemstones are not just lovely ornaments; they possess strong energies that can impact our lives. In Vedic Astrology, gemstones are prescribed according to one’s birth chart (Kundali) to energize good planetary influences and reduce the impact of malefic planets. But how do you decide the gem based on your birth chart? Let’s find out.

Understanding Your Birth Chart

Your birth chart is a snapshot of planets’ positions during your birth. It tells your strengths, weaknesses and destiny. In Vedic Astrology, every planet has corresponding gemstones:

• Sun: Ruby
• Moon: Pearl
• Mars: Red Coral
• Mercury: Emerald
• Jupiter: Yellow Sapphire
• Venus: Diamond
• Saturn: Blue Sapphire
• Rahu: Hessonite
• Ketu: Cat’s Eye

An experienced astrologer carefully studies your chart to determine which planets are favorable (favorable) for you and which planets are inauspicious (challenging) for you.

Key Factors in Choosing a Gemstone

1. Identify the Strong and Weak Planets

The first thing to do is decide which planets must be nurtured. For example, if Jupiter is weak in your chart but plays a crucial role (like ruling your Ascendant or wealth, for example), wearing a yellow sapphire is likely to consolidate its positive influence.

2. Understand Planetary Periods (Dasha)

Sometimes, a gemstone is recommended based on the current dasa (period of the planets) that you are going through. Strengthening the ruling planet of your dasha will bring about smooth progress in life.

3. Ascendant (Lagna) Analysis

Your Ascendant has tremendous influence. For example, a Taurus ascendant would benefit greatly from wearing a diamond ruled by their chart ruler, Venus.

4. Avoid Strengthening Malefic Planets

It is said that wearing the wrong gemstone can be dangerous if it is ruled by an unfavorable planet in your birth chart.

Conclusion

Select the right gemstone is not just a matter of choosing the preferred color. It is a science and an art that is closely related to astrology. With the right guidance and the right gemstones, you can unlock great health, prosperity and a peaceful mind.
