Gemstones and Dreams

Wearing gemstones can make a native have various types of unusual dreams. Let’s discuss some facts related to the ability of gemstones to cause various kinds of dreams. Let’s also look at some good and bad indications associated with such dreams.

Let’s first try to look into the fact whether gemstones can cause certain specific dreams or not? If yes, how can different gemstones cause different types of dreams for various natives? All planets among navagraha behave like human beings. In fact, the influence and behavior of planets is responsible for different behavior patterns of various human beings. It means that it is we who behave like the planets among navagraha. Each planet among navagraha may influence your conscious as well as subconscious mind in a good or bad way to achieve certain objectives.

Benefic planets may inspire or motivate us through dreams and other media, to inform us about the good things coming ahead in the future as well as to make us engage in good karmas. On the other hand, malefic planets may influence us through dreams and they may confuse us, thereby stopping us from doing certain specific good karmas. Apart from that, such planets may provoke us to engage in some specific types of bad karmas which may bring bad results for us. Subconscious mind is a very powerful medium for both benefic and malefic planets to connect with us; and influence us in positive or negative ways.

This connection may result in good signs and guidance for future or it may result in misleading signs and bad events in the future; depending on benefic or malefic nature of planets that influence the subconscious mind.

When you wear some gemstones, the planets corresponding to the gemstones as well as the planets involved in combinations with the planets corresponding to the gemstones become more active than usual in your aura; and such planets may try and influence you in various possible ways. One such way is by giving you messages through dreams.

Let’s try to understand this concept with the help of an example. Suppose a native wears Yellow Sapphire. Yellow Sapphire is a gemstone associated with Jupiter. Accordingly, Jupiter may become more active in the aura of the native wearing this gemstone. Hence Jupiter may try to influence the native through dreams and other signs in order to convey certain specific messages to him. Let’s suppose the native who wears Yellow Sapphire experiences a dream, shortly after wearing this gemstone. In this dream, he sees that he meets a saint or a spiritual person who is wearing Saffron colored clothes. The saint gives him blessings and the native finds himself happy in the dream.

This dream may be an indication that Yellow Sapphire worn by the native is suitable for him; since Jupiter is the lord of this gemstone and Jupiter is also known as a saint in Vedic astrology. Hence, Jupiter approaches the native through dream, in the guise of a saint and it blesses the native. It means Jupiter may be conveying a message to the native that it has become stronger and it will bless him with more power. Hence this native should assume that the gemstone worn by him may be suitable for him and that he may benefit by wearing this gemstone.

This is a relatively easy to understand dream. Let’s consider another dream in the same case and let’s suppose that the native experiences a different dream after wearing Yellow Sapphire. In this dream, the native again sees a saint but this time the saint is not happy with the native. On the other hand, the saint is angry or he scares the native about some bad things or events which are heading his way and then suddenly, the native finds himself in some kind of trouble. It may also be possible that the saint directly hurts the native in such dream.

This dream conveys a message different than that conveyed by the first dream. This dream may mean that the Yellow Sapphire worn by the native is not suitable for him and that he may have to face bad consequences by wearing this gemstone. Hence the native should not continue wearing this gemstone on his own and he should discuss such dream with an astrologer.

Let’s consider another dream in the same case and see what message may come out of that dream. Lets’ suppose that after wearing Yellow Sapphire, the native experiences a dream in which he sees that big, scary and ferocious dogs are running after him in order to attack him. The native is running in order to save his life and he is looking for every possible way to save himself from such ferocious dogs.

Suddenly, the native finds a temple or an ashram of a saint and he takes shelter in the temple or Ashram. Surprisingly, the dogs do not enter that temple or ashram and they stand outside. They continuously keep barking and scaring the native as if they are committed to hurt him once he comes out of the temple or ashram.

This dream may look like a horrible one and the native experiencing this dream may become scared. Hence he may remove his gemstone after this dream. However, this dream may be quite contrary to what it looks like as it may be a positive dream and it gives a message to the native, which is for the benefit of the native. This dream may indicate that the native wearing Yellow Sapphire is likely to have a combination of malefic Ketu and benefic Jupiter in his horoscope, thereby leading to the formation of Guru Chandal Yog in the horoscope of the native.

It means that Ketu is afflicting Jupiter and accordingly the native is suffering on various fronts of his life. As the native wears Yellow Sapphire, Jupiter gains strength through this gemstone and it may become stronger and more capable of fighting the affliction caused by Ketu. Hence such benefic and stronger Jupiter may give more benefits to the native, through his gemstone. Ketu on the other hand, carries the same strength as before and the increased strength of Jupiter may make it difficult for Ketu to dominate Jupiter. Hence the net equation of dominance may start shifting towards Jupiter in a gradual manner.

The dream experienced by the native indicates that Ketu is chasing the native in the form of ferocious dogs in order to harm and/or hurt him. However, the native finds shelter in a temple or an ashram, both of which are places ruled by Jupiter. It means that Jupiter blesses the native and he is saved from the potential threats and problems indicated by Ketu, due to the interference of Jupiter. This means that the Yellow Sapphire may be suitable for the native and he may be able to overcome losses and problems indicated by Ketu, after wearing this gemstone. One such dream may also be caused if the native doesn’t have a conjunction of Jupiter and malefic Ketu in his horoscope; but he’s going through Ketu Mahadasha or Antardasha; and Ketu is malefic in his horoscope whereas Jupiter is benefic.

Let’s consider another dream in the same example to understand the messages as well as illusions created by various planets among navagraha. Let’s suppose after wearing Yellow Sapphire, the native experiences a dream. He sees that a 5 to 10 year old young boy comes and meets him. This boy may be wearing torn or ragged clothes or he may claim to be a Baal Yogi, meaning child sage or saint.

This boy tells the native that something very horrible is coming his way and that the native should remove his gemstone (Yellow Sapphire) at the earliest as otherwise, he may have to face serious consequences. Such young boy may even show some miracles to the native in order to make the native believe in his power. This is an interesting as well as a complex dream.

This dream may be an illusionary one and it again means that the native should continue wearing his Yellow Sapphire. Ketu is trying to make the native remove this gemstone but this time through a different technique. In the previous dream featuring dogs, Ketu tries to scare the native whereas in this dream, Ketu tries to influence the native with the help of its Maya. Ketu is trying to convince the native that Yellow Sapphire is not suitable for him and that he should remove it. If the native removes this gemstone after such dream, he is likely to face problems in future and his situation is not likely to improve.

Planets are very skilled at causing illusions and creating Maya. They can influence a native through dreams and they can convince him to remove a suitable gemstone by indicating that the gemstone is not suitable for him. However in reality, the gemstone may be suitable for him and a malefic planet may find it difficult to trouble the native after he has worn such gemstone, due to increased strength of a benefic planet, for which the gemstone has been worn.

This concept may be understood in a better way, by considering the example from Ramayana where demon king Ravana comes to goddess Seeta and asks her to cross Lakshman Rekha (a line drawn by Shri Lakshman). Ravana comes in the guise of a saint and he says that being an exalted sage, he will not accept alms or food which is bound by any restrictions or boundaries. Goddess Seeta refuses to do so and she says that she can’t cross Lakshman Rekha drawn by his brother-in-law, for her safety. Upon this, Ravana says that if she does not cross Lakshman Rekha, serious troubles will fall upon her husband and brother-in-law who are out in the forest, in search of a golden deer.

Ravana convinces goddess Seeta with the help of his Maya that he is an exalted sage and that she should follow his advice. Goddess Seeta does so and as she crosses the line, demon king Ravana kidnaps her, appearing in his original guise. In this reference, Lakshman Rekha may be considered as the safety provided by the gemstone worn by the native. Ravana may be considered as the malefic planet which tries to convince the native with its Maya that he should abandon his Lakshman Rekha (gemstone). If the native is blinded by the illusion of such malefic planet and he removes his gemstone, he may have to face problems in future, as he has himself abandoned his cover of protection.

Similarly, a native can experience various other types of dreams after wearing a Yellow Sapphire or after wearing other gemstones belonging to various planets among navagraha. These dreams may provide meaningful and relevant information about the working of various planets in the horoscope of the native; as well as about the future course of events.

Gemstones and Mahadasha

This theory states that the gemstone for a planet which rules the planetary period (Mahadasha) is always suitable for a native. Taking an example, if a native is under the effect of 19 year Saturn period; Blue Sapphire is suitable for the native, as long as Saturn period is in effect; regardless of the functional nature of Saturn in his horoscope.

This is just a misconception and nothing else. The suitability of gemstones is decided; primarily on the basis of functional nature of various planets in a horoscope. After that, the overall theme of horoscope as well as the objective of the native is considered. Hence recommending a gemstone on the basis of Mahadasha may cause disastrous results; if the planet in question is malefic in the horoscope under consideration.

Just like an exalted planet gains extra strength by virtue of its exaltation; a planet also gains extra strength during the running length of its Mahadasha. Just like such extra strength gained through exaltation may cause more damage when such exalted planet is malefic; the running period of a planet may also cause extra damage when such planet is malefic. Let’s take an example to understand this concept in a better manner.

Suppose Saturn is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Leo; in Leo navamsha of Poorvaphalguni nakshatra. Saturn rules the sixth and seventh house in this horoscope. It doesn’t perform well in Leo, it is not suited for the energy of Poorvaphalguni in most cases and it is uncomfortable in Leo navamsha of this nakshatra. As a combined result of these factors; Saturn may become highly malefic in this horoscope.

Hence it may create problems related to health, lifespan, profession, disputes, disagreements, enemies, court cases and a number of other things. Suppose Moon is placed in the third house of this horoscope in Libra in the second quarter of Shatabhisha nakshatra. It means that the native is born under 18 year Rahu period with about 12 years left; since Rahu rules Shatabhisha. Rahu period is followed by 16 year Jupiter period which is followed by 19 year Saturn period.

It means that the native may be under the effect of Saturn period between his age of 28 and 47. As this period begins, Saturn gains more strength and such extra strength remains available to it; throughout these 19 years. Since Saturn is highly malefic in this horoscope; it may trouble the native with a number of serious problems related to many spheres of life; throughout these 19 years.

Apart from the already mentioned problems; the native may suffer from problems related to marriage since Saturn casts direct aspect on the seventh house which deals with marriage. In addition to that; this period may cause serious problems related to the significances of any planet or planets which are placed in the first or seventh house (if there are any). Suppose Venus is placed in the first house in Leo along with Saturn.

Venus rules the third and tenth house in this horoscope; and it represents marriage in case of male natives. Since the first, third and tenth house deal with profession; the native may face serious problems related to his profession. The native may suffer due to loss of job, financial losses through profession, debts, litigations, court cases, bad reputation, penalties, punishment and a number of other problems related to this sphere; depending on his overall horoscope.

In case the native is male, he may face serious problems related to marriage. The native may not be able to get married till late or very late; depending on his overall horoscope. In an extreme case of this type when such malefic Saturn is supported by other malefic planets; the native may not get married till his age of 47; as long as Saturn period lasts; or he may not get married throughout his life.

Looking at other types of problems, the native may witness disputes, arguments, disagreements, fights and a number of other problems through his marriage. In an extreme case of this type, the native may separate from his wife on account of serious problems between the couple. However, due to one reason or the other; the native may not get divorced for 5, 7, 10 or more years. It means the native may neither live with his wife, nor he may get divorced so that he may be able to marry again.

If the native is female, she may witness serious problems related to children; apart from problems in profession. She may witness delay in childbirth, medical complications during childbirth, abortion, miscarriage and other problems related to this sphere. If Jupiter being the lord of the fifth house is weak or troubled; the native may not be able to have children at all or she may give birth to physically or mentally challenged children; especially the first child.

These are just some of the problems that malefic Saturn may create and aggravate during Saturn period of 19 years. If the native wears Blue Sapphire during this period; Saturn may gain even more strength. As a result; the quantum of problems may increase even more and the native may simply not be able to handle them. Hence gemstones should not be recommended on the basis of Mahadashas and they should be recommended on the basis of functional nature of planets, overall horoscope and the objective of the native in question.

Even when it comes to benefic planets; their gemstones may not be needed during their Mahadashas in some cases; whereas they may be needed in some other cases. The overall idea is to create balance in horoscope. If a planet is benefic, strong and un-afflicted in a horoscope; the native may not need its gemstone; especially during its running period.

If a planet is already strong, it may gain even more strength during its Mahadasha. The energy of such planet may already become difficult to handle for a native and such excessive energy may tend to create imbalance. If such planet gains even more strength through its gemstone; its energy may simply become too much to handle for the native. Let’s take an example to understand this concept in a better way.

Suppose Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in Leo in Magha nakshatra. Sun rules the first house, it is strong in Leo and it is very good in Magha. Hence Sun is highly benefic in the horoscope. However it is very strong and it is placed in the first house. Hence it may affect the overall personality of the native; much more than it should; unless there are balancing factors in the horoscope.

Suppose Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in Pisces in the fourth quarter of Revati nakshatra ruled by Mercury. In this case, the native is born under Mercury period with about 1 year left. Mercury period is followed by Ketu period for 7 years, Venus period for 20 years and Sun period for 6 years. It means that Sun period may rule this native between his age of 28 and 34.

These are very important years for marriage, profession and many other spheres of life. At same time, the overall aggression is relatively high during these years of age as well as in the years before them; in most cases. When Sun period begins, Sun may gain extra strength. Hence the native may witness better results related to profession, authority, fame and recognition during this period; depending on his overall horoscope.

However, due to such extra strength gained by Sun; the native may become more aggressive, over-confident, more self-centered, more dominating, impulsive and he may witness rise in all likewise qualities rendered by Sun. This may create imbalance in the personality of the native and the sphere of relationships may suffer the most. Since Sun is placed in the first house; the native himself may also be a target of such excessive energy.

It means that the native may engage more and more in work; and he may rest and relax less. This may have negative impact on his health; though such impact may not be serious since Sun is benefic. The native may take impulsive decisions and he may have to regret some of them.

Since Sun casts direct aspect on the seventh house; native’s wife may be the next victim and marriage may be the next sphere to be affected. The native may use more aggression and dominance when dealing with his wife. At the same time, he may not be able to give her proper time since he may keep himself busy with work. These factors may have negative impact on native’s marriage and the relationship may start going bad. However, Sun alone may not create irreparable problems in marriage in this case; since it is benefic. Therefore, the quality of marriage may diminish as long as Sun period is in effect; though the marriage may continue.

If the native wears Ruby during this period, Sun may gain even more strength. When that happens; all qualities rendered by Sun may become so high in quantum that some of them may become difficult to handle whereas some others may become troublesome. The native may become very aggressive, very impulsive, over-confident, egoistic, stubborn and very dominating. This may have very bad impact on his health as well as marriage and it may also affect his profession; unless there are strong balancing factors in his horoscope. Hence Ruby should be avoided in this case in general; and especially during Sun period. Sun is already very strong and it may not need more energy unless it is afflicted by one or more than one planet in this horoscope.

Let’s take an example to understand when the gemstone for a planet may be worn during its Mahadasha. Suppose a combination of benefic Mars, malefic Saturn, malefic Venus and malefic Ketu is placed in the third house of a horoscope in Taurus. Suppose within Taurus; Mars is placed in Aries navamsha of Rohini nakshatra. Pisces rises in the ascendant and Mars rules the second and ninth house. Mars does well in Taurus as well as in Rohini; though it is not strong in any one of them. However, it does better in Aries navamsha of Rohini. Combining these factors; Mars is highly benefic but not strong in this horoscope. At the same time; it is seriously afflicted by Saturn, Venus and Ketu. Saturn and Venus are strong in Taurus.

As a result, Mars may turn partly benefic and partly malefic in this horoscope and the malefic part may be higher or much higher; depending on the finer factors and overall horoscope. This is because malefic Saturn, Venus and Ketu may add a lot of negativity to Mars through affliction and Mars may not be able to fight such afflictions; since it is no match for these three malefic planets. The concept of a benefic planet turning into malefic planet when placed in conjunction with two or more malefic planets has been explained in the revised edition (2020) of the book ‘Pitra Dosh – Ancestors are Calling’.

It should be noted that Mars is not independently malefic in this horoscope and it is a converted malefic. Saturn, Venus and Ketu are malefic here; regardless of any other planet. It means that if Saturn, Venus or Ketu alone is placed in the third house of this horoscope in Taurus; it may still remain malefic. However, Mars becomes malefic; only due to strong negative influence of Saturn, Venus and Ketu; and it is otherwise highly benefic here. Hence it is a converted malefic and not an independent malefic.

Therefore, if Mars gains extra strength through Red Coral, it may fight afflictions from Saturn, Venus and Ketu in a better way. As it does that, its malefic part may decrease and the benefic part may increase. Hence Red Coral is a very good choice in this case.

If native faces Mars period and he doesn’t wear Red Coral; he may witness bad or very bad results during this period. When a planet is afflicted so badly by more than two malefic planets; its Mahadasha may produce malefic results; even if such planet is otherwise supposed to be benefic in the horoscope, like in the present case. Hence Red Coral is highly recommended during Mars period as well as in general; so that Mars may protect itself from Saturn, Venus and Ketu; as much as it can.

Through various examples, we have discussed when may the gemstones for the lords of Mahadashas be worn and when they should be avoided. A horoscope may feature billions of combinations and these are just a few of them. Hence these examples should be considered as guidelines and not as fixed rules; while considering gemstone recommendation for lords of Mahadashas.

Ruby

Ruby is called Manikya in Sanskrit as well as in Hindi and it is called Yakoot in Urdu and Persian. Ruby is worn to provide extra strength to Sun. This gemstone transfers energy of Sun into the body of the wearer and through such energy, Sun may gain extra strength in his horoscope as well as in his aura.

Looking at the composition of this gemstone, Ruby belongs to the family of corundum. Ruby is available in different colors and shades of Red; like light red, light rose red, light violet red to dark rose or dark violet red, dark blood red or dark brownish red. The color and clarity of this gemstone are two important aspects to look for when purchasing Ruby.

Depending on the overall horoscopes, different colours of Ruby may be suitable for different natives. Some may benefit more by wearing dark red Rubies whereas some others may benefit more by wearing light rose or violet Rubies. Appropriate weight of this gemstone is an important factor. Different weights may be suitable for different natives, depending on their overall horoscopes. In general, weights between 3 and 8 carats of this gemstone are suitable for most people.

Sun represents father, immunity, creativity, intelligence, courage, confidence, authority, aggression, initiative, leadership, the ability to produce children in case of male natives; and a number of other things in general. Depending on which house it rules in a horoscope, it may represent a number of other things and people for the native. For example, if Sun rules the seventh house in a horoscope; it represents the event of marriage, happiness in marriage, longevity of marriage, husband, wife, partnerships, alliances, genitals and many other things; in addition to its general significances.

Though this gemstone may produce wonderful results when Sun is benefic in the horoscope of the wearer, it may cause serious problems when Sun is malefic in the horoscope of the wearer. Hence care should be taken when wearing Ruby.

When buying Ruby, you should get a lab test report with it. The report should mention ‘Natural Ruby’ along with other details. This tells you that the Ruby has been made through natural processes and it is not fake.

Ruby is generally worn on the ring finger of right hand in Copper or Gold. However, based on a native’s requirements as well as on his overall horoscope, it may be worn on some other finger or in a pendant or bracelet.

Vedic astrology recommends practicing some procedures before wearing Ruby. They include purification and energization of this gemstone. Purification of Ruby is the process through which any negative energy attached to this gemstone is removed with the help of Mantras and some specific Vedic procedures.

When you purchase a Ruby, you may not know for sure that whether or not it has been worn by someone else before you. In case it has been worn by someone else for a period of more than a month; their aura may leave energy imprints on Ruby. If the aura of such native is negative, the imprints will also be negative. We leave aura imprints on everything we touch. The longer we touch it, stronger may the imprints be.

As you wear such Ruby, the energy of this gemstone as well as the energy of the other native may both affect you. If such energy is negative, it may cause problems. Such problems are generally mild and they are more like side effects which generally disappear in a week or so. However in some cases; such problems may be significant and they may sustain for a month or two.

This happens when a native with highly negative aura has worn this gemstone for a period of more than six months. Strong negative energy imprints may be registered on Ruby in such case, and they may take longer to fade away, after you wear such Ruby. Though the aura of the other person may create such side effects or problems, you may think it is the Ruby which is doing so.

The process of purification removes every type of energy imprints from Ruby. This process works like sanitization which removes bacteria and viruses from a surface. If you’re certain that your gemstone is brand new and it hasn’t been worn by anyone else before you; the process of purification is not needed.

It should be noted that many people may touch this gemstone before you wear it, like the sellers and ring makers. They touch it for short durations of time and this much time is not an issue. Hence purification may not be needed in such cases. It is only when someone has worn this gemstone for over a month that you should think of getting it purified before wearing it.

Energization of Ruby is the process through which this gemstone is specifically charged for you, with the help of Mantras and some specific Vedic procedures so that it may produce better results. This is not a compulsory process and your Ruby may produce its due effects even without energization. Hence the process of energization is more like an advantage than a necessity and it can be skipped if you wish.

Once you’ve got your duly purified (optional) and energized (optional) Ruby, fitted in a ring, pendant or bracelet; the next step is to wear it. Vedic astrology recommends that Ruby should be worn on a Sunday morning, when wearing it for the first time. Before wearing Ruby for the first time, you should put the ring, pendant or bracelet in Gangajal (water of Holy River Ganga) or in a mixture of unboiled milk and pure water for about 12 hours prior to wearing it. This means you should do so on a Saturday evening so that you may wear it on the following Sunday morning.

You should take bath on the chosen Sunday morning, sit or stand in front of the ring, pendant or bracelet and you should chant Mool Mantra or Beej mantra of Sun for 108 times or 27 times. After doing so, you should take the Ruby ring, Pendant or bracelet and you should rinse it with clean water, in case you had put it in a mixture of unboiled milk and water. You should then wipe it with a clean cloth and wear it.

If you had put it in Gangajal, simply wipe it with a clean cloth and wear it. In case you’ve got it purified through Vedic procedures, you don’t need to put it in Gangajal or a mixture of unboiled milk and water. In such case, simply keep it at a clean place after purification and wear it on the chosen morning after chanting Mantras.

For the sake of convenience, here are Mool Mantra and Beej Mantra of Sun:

Sun Mool Mantra: Om Sooryaay Namah

Sun Beej Mantra: Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Sooryaay Namah

You may wear your Ruby anytime between 6 AM to 11 AM in the morning, when wearing it for the first time. Though more specific details about timing may be obtained specifically based on your horoscope; they may not be needed. Once you have worn it, you may keep wearing it permanently; unless you’re asked to wear it for a specific period of time. If you wish or need; you may take off this gemstone for an hour or two as that may not compromise the results given by this gemstone.

For example, you may have to remove it every day, when you go to gym, if you’re wearing it on your finger. If you engage in weight lifting, such heavy weights may cause damage to your ring or even to your gemstone. Hence you should remove it before engaging in exercise and wear it back, once you’re done. Likewise, there may be other situations which may require you to take it off for some time. However, removing Ruby for days and months may gradually reverse the effects given by this gemstone. Hence this practice should be avoided.

Pearl

Pearl is called Mukta or Shashiratna in Sanskrit and Moti in Hindi whereas it is called Mukharid in Urdu. Pearl is worn to provide extra strength to Moon. This gemstone transfers energy of Moon into the body of the wearer and through such energy, Moon may gain extra strength in his horoscope as well as in his aura.

Looking at the composition of Pearl, this gemstone is made by oysters during the process of defense against some foreign bodies or elements. Pearls are available in a variety of colors like white and white with hints of yellow, blue or black. At times, it can be bluish, yellowish or blackish in color. In general, Pearls which are pure white or white with hints of yellow or blue are suitable for most people. The ones that contain yellow, blue or black in significant amounts should be avoided; unless specifically recommended.

In case of Pearl, quality often becomes a concern. This is because Pearls are produced by oysters. Different types of oysters produce different types of Pearls. Since it is difficult to look for oysters as well as Pearls of good quality, out in the open; Oyster farming is used. Oysters of specific types are farmed in fresh water. At suitable times, suitable foreign elements are inserted into oysters.

They release a substance called nacre in order to counteract such foreign elements. Nacre gets deposited on these elements and Pearls are formed. They are then removed from oysters with due care, so that oysters are not hurt. One of the most common and effective varieties of Pearl is called South Sea Pearl. These Pearls are generally obtained through oyster farming.

If you choose to get your gemstones tested in a lab to check whether they are natural or fake; all genuine gemstones except Pearl may reflect the result as natural. It means the lab test report for Ruby may mention ‘Natural Ruby’ along with other details. The same holds for all other gemstones for navagraha, except for Pearl. In case of Pearl, the report may mention ‘Pearl’ in most cases and ‘Cultured Pearl’ in some cases. In both these cases; it means that the Pearl has not been obtained naturally from salt water oysters and it has been obtained through the process of oyster farming.

This is fine and you should not worry about it. Such Pearls are not fake but they have been cultured. Most of the best quality Pearls available today (within financial reach) are cultured. They produce proper results and there is nothing to worry about. Drawing a comparison, though a salt water Pearl may be mentioned as ‘Natural Pearl’ in lab test report; it may be less or much less in quality as well as efficiency than a cultured Pearl for the same price.

Appropriate weight of this gemstone is an important factor. Different weights may be suitable for different natives, depending on their overall horoscopes. In general, weights between 5 and 15 carats of this gemstone are suitable for most people.

Moon represents mother, mind, emotional wellbeing, mental health, education, healing abilities, creativity and a number of other things in general. It also represents the ability to produce children in case of female natives along with Venus. Depending on which house it rules in a horoscope, it may represent a number of other things and people for the native. For example, if Moon rules the first house in a horoscope; it represents health, lifespan, immunity, vitality, profession, overall personality and many other things; in addition to its general significances.

Though this gemstone may produce wonderful results when Moon is benefic in the horoscope of the wearer, it may cause serious problems when Moon is malefic in the horoscope of the wearer. Hence care should be taken when wearing Pearl.

Pearl is generally worn on the little finger of right hand in Silver. However, based on a native’s requirements as well as on his overall horoscope, it may be worn on some other finger or in a pendant or bracelet.

Vedic astrology recommends practicing some procedures before wearing Pearl. They include purification and energization of this gemstone. Since these procedures have already been discussed in the chapter for Ruby; we’ll skip them and move on.

Once you’ve got your duly purified (optional) and energized (optional) Pearl, fitted in a ring, pendant or bracelet; the next step is to wear it. Vedic astrology recommends that Pearl should be worn on a Monday morning, when wearing it for the first time. Before wearing Pearl for the first time, you should put the ring, pendant or bracelet in Gangajal (water of Holy River Ganga) or in a mixture of unboiled milk and pure water for about 12 hours prior to wearing it. This means you should do so on a Sunday evening so that you may wear it on the following Monday morning.

You should take bath on the chosen Monday morning, sit or stand in front of the ring, pendant or bracelet and you should chant Mool Mantra or Beej mantra of Moon for 108 times or 27 times. After doing so, you should take the Pearl ring, Pendant or bracelet and you should rinse it with clean water, in case you had put it in a mixture of unboiled milk and water. You should then wipe it with a clean cloth and wear it.

If you had put it in Gangajal, simply wipe it with a clean cloth and wear it. In case you’ve got it purified through Vedic procedures, you don’t need to put it in Gangajal or a mixture of unboiled milk and water. In such case, simply keep it at a clean place after purification and wear it on the chosen morning after chanting Mantras.

For the sake of convenience, here are Mool Mantra and Beej Mantra of Moon:

Moon Mool Mantra: Om Chandraay Namah

Moon Beej Mantra: Om Shraam Shreem Shraum Sah Chandraay Namah

You may wear your Pearl anytime between 6 AM to 11 AM in the morning, when wearing it for the first time.
