PLANETS AND GEM STONES
It is within our knowledge that electrical and magnetic radiations are ceaselessly
circulating in the universe and affect humans, animals or planets for good or ill. Ages
ago, our ancients pondered the problem of combating the evil effects of subtle cosmic
influences and discovered that precious stones and metals emit an astral light which
is powerfully counteractive to the negative pulls of the planets. They have transmitted
to us the belief that precious stones of the required weight when worn next to the
skin are fully productive. A gem or an amulet corresponding to a planet we are told
infuses vibrations of that planet’s nature into our auras all the while we are wearing
it. Thus has grown our unshakable faith in the philosophy of planetary stones
planetary colors and mineralogy.
There is no consensus of opinion among the astrologers as to the basis on which the
selection of the stone should be made. Some astrologers are of the opinion that the
selection should be based on the Ascendant, its ruler, and the planet occupying the
ascendant or aspecting it strongly. Another school of thought is that the stone
corresponding to the planet which is elevated in the chart should be picked up. A few
authorities suggest the selection of a stone belonging to the planet that is weak and
afflicted in the horoscope. They believe that by appeasing the planet in this way, the
evil effects of that planet can be counteracted. I know of a case of a Business man,
who was advised to wear “Blue Sapphire” (Neelam) by a traditional style astrologer;
the gentleman used “Blue Sapphire”. Alas! Misfortune came in a train, and he suffered
extreme financial loss. “Blue Sapphire” which was to have come to his rescue, proved
detrimental in every way. A student of technology, who had Rahu in his 5th house,
was told to put “Gomed” before his examination, but failed to secure even pass
marks. Of what utility is such an advice based on half baked knowledge? The practice
of prescribing stones governed by the planet, which portrays evil to a native
according to their birth chart is like asking a person whose house has caught fire to
pour inflammable material into the fire. Suppose Venus is the afflicting planet, and
caused diabetes. Venus governs sweets. Would it be wise to ask the person to take
plenty of sweets? If moon is evil and threatens drowning according to a certain
person’s chart, how can the use of Pearl help the person to avoid the accident? A
stone should be prescribed to a native for a particular planet only when a planet is
benefic to that person by lordship and occupation by nakshatra at birth. Suppose for
Capricorn ascendant of Saturn rules ascendant and 2nd house and is placed in Venus’
s nakshatra, lord of 5th and 10th house, the wearing of Saturn’s “Blue Sapphire”
would prove to be extremely beneficial. If on the other hand, Saturn occupies the 8th
house in Leo in Sun’s nakshatra, the use of Saturn’s stone would be very harmful. In
the case of a person born in Leo lagna with sun lord of lagna and mercury lord of 2
and 11 placed favorably say even in the 6th house in Capricorn in sun’s nakshatra,
the person would be well advised to go in for an emerald-set gold ring. The KP
System lay down that houses 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, and 11 are most auspicious in any
horoscope from the viewpoint of material gains and success. The use of precious
stones governed by planets that strongly signify these houses is sure to promote
material prosperity. The use of stones coming under the lordship of planets that
strongly signify houses 6, 8, or 12 should not be thought of. It is necessary to
remember that the use of gem stone should preferably be commenced at a time when
the nakshatra belonging to the planet whose stone has been selected is transited by
the moon by ephemeral transit.
