It is not always possible to get a good gemstone that does not have a doshain it. We should wear gemstones that are free of
inclusions and flaws. Brihat Samhita talks about how these flaws look like. The author says that a gemstone with blemishes that
looks like crow feet, an insect or an inclusion with a different material should be avoided. While a good gemstone helps in
strengthening the planet it represents in a kundali, wearing a flawed gemstone should be avoided at all cost. It can cause many
hardships.
Emerald (Panna) is the only gemstone where few blemishes are allowed. A
flawless emerald may be costlier than a diamond.
All flawless gemstones, for that matter are very costly and may not be affordable
by everyone. Fortunately, all of us do not need to depend on gemstones for
strengthening the planets in the horoscope. The three main ways of
strengthening any planet in a kundali. In the order of priority, they are:
1.
2.
3.
Gemstone ()
The first two are the sattvic ways of strengthening a planet in a kundali. Gems
have ornamental value and are associated with for adornment and style.
Therefore it is a rajasik way of curing a problem. If someone can, conduct and mantra are always preferred way. In any case, a
gemstone should not be worn if the corresponding planet is a lord of dusthanas in the horoscope, especially if it is a lord of 6th, 8th
and 12th house. Since it is important to look at the horoscope very closely before wearing a gemstone, please do not do astrological
equivalent of self medication when it comes to wearing gems for astrological reasons. Let always an astrologer prescribe these to
you.
Each of the planets is associated with a deity and a mantra. Worshipping to the deity with correct rituals in place is required. Let me
try and summarize the three aspects here for each of the planets. If a stone is really required, I am also adding a column for a
cheaper gem alternative. Please note that we always have to choose a heavier/larger stone when going for an alternative.
