The Power of Gemstones
We've all heard stories like: Oh, I was waiting for a verdict in my favour for a number of years. Then I wore this yellow sapphire, and within a week I got the good news! I don't know if it's because of the ring, but you never can tell. The 'science' of astrology is something that has fascinated Indians for centuries. Along with a craving for knowledge of what the future holds, the desire for love, luck and happiness pushes us towards Vedic astrology and numerology in the hope that we may somehow influence our destiny. Gemstones have been used for therapeutic purposes in accordance with astrology for centuries. While many scoff at the idea of gems exerting any influence over us, others have complete faith in this science. But before experimenting with stones, it is important to understand more about them. Do they really work? How do they work? The planets in their set orbits through
the Milky Way constantly emit both positive and negative magnetic vibrations.
Vedic astrology is the science that studies how these influences affect
each person both for good and for ill, and how certain remedial agents
like gemstones, metals and plants protect the body and mind.
A play of colours Planets radiate their energy and influence through colour. The astrological powers of gemstones are derived from the special cosmic influences of their associated ruling planets. The ancient gemological texts of India explain that white light is actually composed of nine colours, symbolic of the nine planets. The nine 'planets' for astrological purpose include:
The 9 colours to correspond with
the 9 planets include the primary colours, violet, indigo, blue, green,
yellow, orange, red (which are visible in the form of a rainbow) and ultra-violet
and infra-red (which remain invisible to the naked eye).
How does this science work? To take an example, Jupiter is associated with the colour BLUE. Most wealthy individuals possess a strong Jupiter in their horoscopes. If Jupiter is weak in your horoscope, you may be required to balance it out by wearing a natural yellow sapphire or topaz, as yellow stones transmit light blue colour waves. Similarly, Saturn is a very strong planet, and it influences one's work, employment and ageing. While it has a dark, malevolent nature, if properly balanced it can also induce great benefits. Saturn transmits its energy through VIOLET waves, which are found in gems like blue sapphires and amethysts. In this manner, gemstones are used to balance out the influence of planets. The positions of Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto with regard to the earth and other plants at the time of your
birth are considered inconsequential, and these planetary positions of
these planets are not considered in any astrological calculation.
Why gems? Gemstones are the most natural means of transmitting colour waves to your body. They encourage the transmission of pure colour, and can be worn permanently, thus ensuring a constant influence. Thus when wearing a gemstone, care should be taken to insure that it is kept in constant contact with the skin, and it should not be removed. If wrongly worn, the stones may even have an adverse reaction on your health. The blue sapphire is an especially powerful stone, and should not be worn unless it suits you. Remember, Princess Diana was gifted a huge blue sapphire ring by Dodi moments before stepping into the car, which ultimately let to a fatal crash. Here is a rough guide as to what stones correspond with your sun sign.
To find out which gemstone suits
you, it is best to consult an experienced astrologer. Wear the stones carefully
and enjoy the benefits of this powerful science for the rest of your life.

After
being reduced to ashes, Amitabh Bachhan rose like the Phoenix to once again
reach the pinnacle of success. He was recently spotted wearing 2 blue sapphires
on his middle finger, a topaz on his little finger and a smattering of
other gemstones. How strong a role did these stones play in his success?
