In Astrological works, the nine planets planets

have been assigned nine different gemstones. According to the classical famous astrological work 'Jatak Parijat' we can divide the planets and their stones as follows:

Planet	Gem Stone
Sun (Surya)	Ruby (Manik)..
Moon (Chandra)	White Pearl (Moti)..
Mars (Mangal)	Red Coral (Moonga)..
Mercury (Budha)	Emerald (Panna)..
Jupiter (Guru)	Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)..
Venus (Shukra)	Diamond (Heera)..
Saturn (Shani)	Blue Sapphire (Neelam)..
Rahu	Gomedha..
Ketu	Cat's Eye (Lahusunia)..

Another famous Indian classical work 'Phaldeepika' has also subscribed to the above view. These gem stones are called Nav-ratnas (Nine Gems). Gemology although not considers them all to be precious stones, but being related to the planets, they are of considerable remedial use.

The Vedic astrology">astrology

since the ancient times has always believed in the healing powers of the gemstones. Here we are going to learn about the various precious as well as semi-precious stones, and about differentiating between auspicious and inauspicious stones as well as the planets and diseases associated with a stone and its curative powers.

We will show you which stone is suitable for you according to your lagna (ascendant) and the position of the planet associated with the stone in your kundali (chart). We have also provided you with a chart that tells you what gemstone to wear based on your Nirayana Sun sign. We have also parted with information on the rituals believed to be necessary to purify the gemstone before wearing and the mantra associated with that gemstone. Before wearing a stone, we must know whether to wear the stone for an ill-placed planet or a well placed one?

Methods used to assess planets' strength were devised by noted astrologers ranging from Alexandre Volguine, Jacques Berthon, Christophe de Cène, Gilles Verneret, to Catherine Aubier, Yves Lenoble, etc. Almost all astrologers studying birthcharts started to develop their own system when they got involved in programming.

All these methods are historically interesting as, most often, they have led to improvements in the determination of dominants and offered remarkable results. Our purpose here is not to dismantle them, but only to briefly explain in which ways our efforts may have taken the process a great leap further, by applying our mathematical weighting to each criterion, and not mere numerical valuations.
The varying degree of the strength of a planet, when in one of the above cases, constitutes quite a strange debate in the sense that, on the one hand, it is written that a planet in domicile or in exaltation is most potent and "gives of its best", and that when in exile or in fall, it is thwarted. On the other hand, it is also mentioned that calculation methods include a bonus in the first two cases and a penalty in the other two. Both bonus and penalty increase the importance of the said planet and they impact on the whole series of usual criteria: hierarchy of the elements, modes, houses, signs, etc.
Should a planet in exile be considered "less powerful" than a planet in domicile and that it cannot become a dominant, due to its difficult position? Some people would answer no, because a so-called malefic planet in exile or in fall has its incapacitating potential increased, hence, its power... owing, precisely, to this position! Therefore, is it reasonable to grant a power bonus only to planets with a "favourable" influence? One must remain level-headed on this matter, lest one gets results that do not match those produced by manual analysis.

Capricon is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.

Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously.

They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task

Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions become frequent.

Saturn is known as the most malefic of planets. It hugely impacts the horoscope & bithchart of people in a certain manner.. Saturn is a very powerful planet which is capable to give huge results. When Saturn moves from one sign to another it is perfectly capable of giving effect on a mundane as well as individual level which means it is capable of affecting countries and individuals alike.

Saturn always entails concepts such as hard work, self-discipline, dedication, self-denial, duty, obligation and huge responsibilities. However, without it we would never achieve anything of lasting benefit. The results given by Saturn are usually lasting and durable.
Saturn takes about 30 years to complete a complete cycle of 12 Zodiac Signs. It stays for about 2 ½ years in each sign.

Jupiter takes about 12 years to complete a complete cycle of 12 zodiac signs. It stays for about a year in each sign. Whenever Saturn moves in to 3rd 6th and 11th houses from the Rashi Chart as per its transit it gives good results. We can say it is a Karaka planet for these houses.
When Saturn transits in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th houses from Rashi Chart it is not considered very favorable.

Virgos are creative, delicate, and intelligent. You love to have everything in order, but are also patient. You are very observant, which can lead you to be judgmental. Some people may think that you are a cold person, because you rarely show your emotions. You also have a lot of charm and dignity, although you may not have many friends, due to your troubles with showing your feelings. Virgos are more followers than leaders. You are always logical.

Prescribing a gemstone to ward off any planetary afflictions in a birth chart of any person is a very delicate procedure. The prescription of a gem depends largely on the astrologer's keen observation and intuition. The stone must be match the qualities of the person. The stone must 'arouse' the qualities that a person needs to become success. We must find out which gems will boost the wearer's luck and prosperity and prescribe accordingly. The remedy must play down the bad qualities of the person while enhancing good ones.

For accurate gems remedies astrologer must have details like
Name
Date of birth
Time of birth
Place of birth

Nowadays, wearing a gem stones has become quite fashionable. In order to prescribe any gem to any individual his or her birth chart should be thoroughly examined to see which of the malefic planets are in chidra bhavas or are functional malefics ( malefics on account of the lordship of inauspicious house i.e., the 6th, 8th and 12th). If we will prescribe a stone for any of such planets, we will be only strengthening and accelerating their malefic tendencies. Therefore, the stones associated with the planets that are functional malefics for an individual should never be recommended.

After ascertaining the type of stone the next step is the weight to be used. This is a very tricky problem. Too big stone will cause an overload' while too little will not act at all. One must relate intelligently, the weight of the stone to the strength of the corresponding planets. There are strict rules and procedures for wearing a gem. Simply buying the stone at a store and wearing it will not only serve any purpose but will also put a life in gems by mantras and pooja.
