PLANET STONES IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

In Vedic (Indian) astrology, stones have a special attitude.
They are considered “representatives” of the planets of the Earth’s solar system, and are used as an effective means of astrological correction.
Contrary to the established opinion that the stones are selected according to the sun sign of the zodiac (depending on the month of birth), in reality things are different.

In Vedic astrology, the wearing of stones is prescribed according to how this or that planet “behaves” in a person’s natal chart, and not according to the principle of the Sun being in this or that sign.

Depending on the placement of the planets in each individual birth chart, the influence of the heavenly bodies will differ significantly, and therefore it is very important to analyze all factors in total.
This approach is more correct and brings significant positive changes in an individual’s life.

Assigned stones will not only give the results characteristic of the stones themselves, but will also affect those areas of life for which the corresponding planets are responsible in a person’s natal chart.

Also, depending on the individual characteristics of the horoscope, there are stones that are contraindicated for a specific person, as they can lead to insomnia, depression, deterioration of the mental state in general, accidents, strengthening of negative character qualities, etc.

 
How incorrectly selected stones affect:
 
  • cause insomnia, headache and feeling of heat in the head/body,
  • deprive of peace of mind and inner harmony,
  • cause aggressive behavior,
  • affect the mood,
  • tend to inappropriate behavior and perception of information that can lead to accidents,
  • impair performance,
  • make a person distracted, unable to concentrate and study,
  • with the constant wearing of contraindicated stones, a strong conflict of energies is possible in a person, which leads to serious diseases.
How correctly selected stones affect when constantly worn:
 
  • improve the mental and physical condition and mood of the individual,
  • charge energy and optimism, increase vitality,
  • contribute to the development of feminine qualities (in the case of women) and masculine qualities (in the case of men),
  • give self-confidence,
  • direct the thoughts and energy of the individual in the right direction,
  • increase working capacity,
  • improve concentration and learning ability.
In addition to the effects listed above, the influence of stones will always be different on different people due to the peculiarities of their natal charts.

Stones are not a panacea for all natal chart problems.
Stones are friends and helpers, but by no means “pills for everything”. B

 
Stone requirements
 
In order for the stones to have “healing” properties, the following conditions must be met:
  • Stones must be 100% natural and not subject to any treatment (chemical, thermal, artificial coloring), except for cutting.
  • Artificially grown stones have no medicinal properties.
  • In natural untreated “living” stones, as a rule, there are impurities and inclusions, which are precisely removed with the help of chemical and thermal treatment to improve aesthetic qualities. As a result of such processing, the “healing” property of the stone is completely lost.
  • Stones must be free of chips, punctures, cracks and holes, otherwise they lose their power.
  • Stones show themselves best in marked metal and faceting.
  • Stones must have constant contact with the skin.
  • The bigger the stone, the better.
  • The more stones in the product, the better. But size and quality should always be preferred over quantity.

Also, any magical action is easily recorded/remembered by these stones. It is necessary to be as vigilant as possible, if a sharp deterioration of the condition occurs when wearing stones.

The cut is round.

The recommended size of the stone depends on its carrier – 1 carat per 10 kg of weight
