Hessonite Significance

Gomed is gemstone of shadow planet Rahu . The shadow planet Rahu is supposed to be responsible

for all sorts of delays or very late fulfillment of ambitions. Gomedh can help in achieving speedy

success in less time than expected. Gomedh also improves dealing with people and protects its

wearer from sudden misfortunes. This is normally reddish-chocolate in colour. Gomedh is cold in

nature. It cures diseases caused by affliction of Rahu and Saturn. It also increases appetite, vitality,

confers good health, wealth and happiness and all round prosperity. It is said to be the best gem to

avert stomach ailments, disaster, insanity, and evil spirits.

There is no equal to Rahu when it comes to giving Upliftment in Name and Fame , Sudden Luck

Gambling, which is probably the reason why Western astrologers regard it as the greatest benefic

force.

Rahu is regarded as similar to Saturn in its effect. Smoky blue is its color, instinctual and animalistic

its nature. Rahu is interested only in achieving all that gives pleasure, and even if it achieves all it

wants, it is never satisfied (which is true of our animalistic nature).

Although Rahu rules no sign of the zodiac, the zodiacal sign Virgo is its sign. Virgo is in fact

assigned to Mercury, but Rahu being akin to Saturn and Mercury being a friend of Saturn, Rahu thus

has authority over Virgo. Friendly signs are Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces. Cancer and

Leo are its enemy signs. Mercury, Venus, and Saturn are friendly planets. Rahu is an enemy of Sun,

Moon, and Mars. Rahu gives auspicious results in Taurus and Libra.

Rahu is capable of giving power when rightly posited or exalted, and it gives fame, success in

politics, money, and physical beauty (i.e., attraction).

The Rahu Gemstone

Rahu, the planet of dragonhead is significant across the avenues of astrology. When it comes to
astrology and planets, each one of the latter has a related gemstone. In the case of Rahu, the gemstone
linked to it is gomed gemstone or hessonite. Rahu is also referred to as the shadow planet. According to
the myths of Hinduism, Rahu was a devil who drank the fluid of immortalityâ or Amritâ during Samudra
Manthan. This earned him the wrath of Lord Vishnu who cut his head off. Thanks to the Amrit, Rahu's
body got separated into a head and a tail but failed to die. These parts supposedly turned into shadow
planets Rahu and Ketu.
The gomed gemstone is said to have a positive impact on those with Rahu dominant in their birth charts.
By nature, Rahu is malevolent. This planet can cause a lot of frustration, abusive habits as well as
diseases. The original gomed gemstone is said to have a calming influence on natives with Rahu
dominant. It is to be noted that when Rahu is located in a house of power in an individual’s birth chart,
there is every chance that he/she might be seeing a lot of power.

The Gomed Gemstone And Rahu’s Malefic Nature

Gomed stone can help those with exalted Rahu earn further fame and wealth. Having exalted Rahu
means that the individual is swathed in luxury and great wealth too. Similarly, for those with weak Rahu,
the gomed stone will be able to work beneficially. The primary trait seen in persons with a weak Rahu is
a certain fear of things that are supernatural. You need to understand the fact that gomed stone or
hessonite has an ultra-violet cosmic color. This comes across as the coldest among cosmic rays.
Therefore, these can be used as a cure or antidote against issues that are spiked by extreme heat. This
could mean physical diseases such as fever, hyperacidity as well as indigestion.

The Connection Between Gomed Stone And Rahu

In the case of native wearing gomed gem stone during the Antardasha or Mahadasha phases of Rahu, he
or she can actually skim away the negative issues that the Rahu planet causes. Identifying a Rahu
gemstone is easy. These mostly come in orangish to golden-orangish or reddish-brown hues. While
gomed gemstone is always referred to as the Rahu gemstone, zircon and spessartite too are close
cousins.

Astrologers and sages believe the gomed is the color of cow’s fat. It is also referred to as gomedhaka.
For pacifying the Rahu planet, the honey-hued gomedh original stone is the choice to pick. Rahu is
responsible for a number of doshas—such as—sarpa dosha, putra dosha, and kalathra dosha. Gomedh,
the rahu gemstone is generally not worn throughout life. It is worn during the major span or sub-span of
the dosha’s effect.

Original gomed stone must be set only in silver metal—in the form of a pendant or ring. It is
recommended that one avoids setting the gemstone of Rahu in gold unless especially specified.
