According to the Bhrusut Parashari hora shatra the whole universe is
made of a 1material2 called 3arayana. Out of it, only 1/8th part is perceivable by
us and it is called asudeva. !he rest of "arayana cannot be perceived by
ordinary mortals. #ach one of us represents microform of "arayana.
!he entire $odiac is divided into 1% e&ual parts 'each of ()degrees* and each
such part is called a rasi 'sign*.

(.*" Meaning of #lanet in Vedic Astrology :

A+4 or 5agna is a very important point in chart and it shows you, self. All the
other planets show other people or circumstances that are influencing you. ,o
positions of the nine planets 'in their respective signs* around the -agna at the
time of birth of a person, constitutes a rasi .hart.

i*. 6upiter, the .rihaspati, is the teacher of gods, represents our intelligence
and power of discrimination and /udgment. /upiter is the teacher of gods. All
0ods are within us 1 represents the good &ualities in us.
ii* Venus, +u$racharya, the teacher of the demons, represents the demonic /
2a3as 4ualities in us. enus e5ists within you 1 rules en3oyment. !he en3oyment
is referred to high spirits and not meant to be harmful. As teacher of demons, he
+eeps the demons under control
iii* +un shows the soul within you. ,un is the +ing of your e5istence.
iv* Mars is also called 67ahi ,utha8 meaning son of 7ahi '#arth* and is born
from the sweat of ,hiva. 7a represented by +ubrahmanya, stands for the
initiative, drive and aggression. 7a shows career. 7a shows the drive to do
things. 9as the same energy as +ubrahmanya. 7a governs the spirit of energy.
v* . Moon represents the mind and shows the mood. 7oon also represents the
shodasa:+alas and the 1;th divisional chart : shodasa varga cha+ra is ruled by
7oon. 7oon shows the mind 1sometimes empty and sometimes full. !he moon
goes through various phases 1 1; in total. ,uch as happy or sad 1 this also
referred to mood swings.
vi* Mercury govern the learning ability. 9e is the adopted son of /u but, born
to 7o and !ara <evi 'w/o /u*. /u did accept !ara<evi and 7e as a student. /u
represents an ideal teacher and 7e represents an ideal student. 7ind needs
some input from intelligence 1 which needs an agent to process it and give it to
mind, that is the learning ability. i.e. 7o 'mind* gets the input from /u
'intelligence* through 7e 'learning ability*
+hiva is energy. +ha$ti is manifestation of that energy. .!ara <evi 'w/o /u* is
,thri ,ha+ti is the manifestation or e5pression of intelligence 'intelligence by itself
lives in vacuum and means nothing*. =ith this manifestation, is born the learning
intelligence. "ow /u 'the intelligence* accepts 7e 'learning ability* as a son,
student. 7e now process that intelligence and mind acts on that processed
intelligence.
Intelligence 7 !uru, 5earning ability 7 .uddha process information" Mind 7
Mo execution of information*
vii* +aturn is discipline and hard wor$. =ithout ,a there wouldn>t be any
achievement. ?or those who don>t wor+ hard, he forces on them. 9e is also
called ,ani or manda planet. discipline and the hard wor+ needed is represented
by the ,aturnian energy. !hat is why we will see ,a strong in all of saints. ,a
also shows steadfastness, nish+ama +arma yoga, austerity etc. ,a is
Perceived as a bad planet, but he puts people to wor+ and ma+es things happen.
viii*. In Vedic astrology, there are so8called Varga cha$ras or divisional
charts that we create for a person in addition to the rasi .hart, and in these
charts the A,. changes in few minutes.
According to maharshis of our tradition, the rasi chart shows our physical
e5istence and health 'i.e. physical manifestation* and each of the arga cha+ras
represents a specific area of our lives
e.g. education, career, marriage etc. for * 9ealth related issues as seen from
+hashtamsa ):" and Trimsamsa ),;"

3.2.2) Applying birth time correction :
Birth time correction is the acid test of good astrologerC 7ost of the
persons are not sure about there e5act time of birth.
!he lagna or A,. in rashi charts changes in every % hours but !he A,.
changes every D minutes in the <:%D and every ; minutes in the <:%) and every
% minutes in the <:;). that>s why it is very much necessary to @t is best to loo+ at
the various -A>s and see =hich one ma+es more sense. Eou should loo+ at the
rasi chart and 3udge from the moon also.

!he different methods are suggested to ma+e birth time correction
i) By using Pranapada position in "avamasa <:F chart A 2ule the pranapada PP
should be in trine or in Gendra to <:F natal moon .
ii* correction using +unda C !he Gunda should be placed in trines 'dharma* or
in seventh 'dwara* from the 2asi -agna, to cause creation. 9ence for rectification
purposes Gunda should be in trines or seventh from -agna. @f there is a
parivartana of the -agna lord, then a change in results is to be predicted and
hence also a change in tattwa is e5pected. @n such cases the Gunda should be
placed in trines/seventh to the -ord of -agna. !his is also seen to apply when the
lagna lord is stronger than the lagna.
iii* by machining the +nown events li+e date and time of marriage with !P
analysis of that year and ma+ing correction.
iv) @f not sure about date and time both use 3asta 6ata$a #addhati to
calculate date and time, it is a very powerful tool to ma+e correction
* Birth correction using physical appearance

People with Ar A,. usually have a round face 1 almost li+e a circle. !here
are some general guidelines with each A,..
,omebody has big eyes there will be a strong enusian influence in the
chart. e in A,., owning the A,..
/u or e associated with A,. then the individuals have a lot of Gaffa in their

,.*., " /sing Medical #almistry
Palmistry is a branch of Astrology, which was up until now loo+ed upon as
+nowledge related to fortune telling handed down by our ancestors from
generation to generation. 9owever, from the medical point of view, now,
Palmistry has emerged as a science in its own right that has helped doctors
and patients ali+e in diagnosing difficult diseases.

e* Palmistry has a ma3or role in prevention of diseases. =ith its help and
+nowledge, a doctor can easily recogni$e the wea+ness of the system
and advise the patient all relevant nutritional changes to prevent the
disease from becoming severe.
f* ,erious illnesses, accident and hospitali$ation can be avoided by guiding
the person properly in the nascent stage.
g* @t is free from birth time correction which most of the horoscope do have.

30204) Disease according to 1edic *strolog+
*strologicall+2 disease ma+ be classified into the follo3ing t3o categories: -
i* "i3a or due to self.
ii* Agantu+a or ac&uired. =ould include inherited.
i" 3i'a +elf"
!his type of disease can again be classified into two broad areas. ?irst the
physical type, namely relating to the physical body or the shareera. !he eighth
house and the eighth lord of the natal horoscope govern these. ,econd are the
diseases affecting the mind or the chitta. !hese falls under the purview of the fifth
house and its lord, 7oon and the eighth house and lord of the natal chart.
ii" Agantu$a Ac<uired"
!his type of disease can also be categorised further into two broad areas. ?irst
the drishta, or that which is visible and due to +nown causes. !he si5th house
and lord and the shadripu are responsible here. "e5t is the adrishta, or the
invisible and ostensibly caused due to un+nown reasons. Problems related to evil
spirits and li+e would also fall here. !he badha+ house and lord ta+e charge here.

Problems in any particular system in the human body are li+ely to be caused by
the planet inimical to the ruler of that system. !he effect of ,aturn, for instance, is
virtually non:e5istent at birth and progressively goes on increasing with age. As a
result any bone in3ury in early years tends to heal immediately while a similar
in3ury in old age may prove stubborn and not heal at all sometimes. /upiter is the
naisargi+a +ara+a for growth. .ancer is unchec+ed growth of to5ic cells in the
human body. @t is indicative of /upiter having become malefic and having
withdrawn its benign protection.
According to Ayurveda, the ancient @ndian system of medicine, there are three
basic humours that need to be in balance for the maintenance of health. Any
imbalance in these three humours leads to bodily illness. !he technical terms for
the three are aata, Pitta and Gapha. !he closest but inade&uate translation
would be wind, bile and phlegm respectively. Accordingly the aata element
produces Bwindy> complaints, neurological disorders, 3oint pains etc. !he Pitta is
concerned with Bheat>, inflammations, fever, liver and gall bladder problems etc.
!he Gapha element concerns with most of respiratory ailments, colds, asthma
etc.
Any mental level disease caused due to any one of the three humors can be
cured with relative ease. On the other hand such a mental disease resulting out
of a combination of two or more of the three humors cannot be addressed that
easily and is +nown as sannipatta.

Based on the 7oon at the moment of start of a disease, the period of suffering
can be ordained.

ii* ;th, 8th and 11th houses are important when we are loo+ing at deceases. 11th
is ;th from ;th also called 9ara ,thana 1 not an auspicious
@f any planet is connecting a dusthana with the A,. it brings disease to the
person : 8th lord in A,. or 8th lord aspecting A,..
.iii* 8th house stands for troubles, tensions, sudden changes and even death. @f
2ahu in 8th house, its bad, means cheating and when 2ahu is involved, it shows
sudden shoc+. <usthana 1 7rityu sthana. ,a in 8th house will show sadness. 2a

b" divisional charts useful in medical astrology

i" )8: +hastamsa":
a* !his chart is used to see health, enemies, and litigation.
b* @n Annual !ithi Pravesha chart if a planet is associated with 8th house 'both
in rasi and <:;*, that planet>s dasa will be bad for health. =hen there are three
or more planets in a house the most benefic planet will give the result of the most
malefic planet. But e5change of results between these planets will not wor+ if one
of the planets is in its own house. !hat planet will end up dominating and the
results won>t be given fully.

c* In Annual Tithi #ravesha )8: chart, if the >th lord is eclipsed by 0a and
%e especially in ?th or @th house" that person will have some health
problems in 0a dasa. #rotection will be destroyed. Any efforts to cure him
will not be on the right trac$, or any cure will not reach that person. )on2t
advise any surgery in that period. 4hoose a better dasha.
Planets in (rd house in <:; will fight the diseases
.ii" %olu$a +pecial +hastamsa"
Golu+a is a very important subdivision of the rashi. #ach rashi comprises si5
+olu+as of five degrees each. Golu+as are associated with the dre++ana, i.e
each dre++ana has two +olu+as. !he effect of the planets causing disease is
relative to the dre++ana/+olu+a they are posited in. Planets in the first dre++ana
effect the upper part of the body, mainly above the nec+, while those in the
second dre++ana effect the middle part of the body also +nown as the trun+ and
lastly the ones in the third dre++ana effect the lower parts of the body. !he +ey
here is that planet in the first +olu+a in any dre++ana effect the interior wor+ing of
the concerned body part while a planet posited in the second +olu+a of any
dre++ana effects the corresponding e5ternal organ. A typical e5ample would be a
planet in the first +olu+a of the first dre++an will have an effect on the brain
internally while the same planet posited in the second +olu+a of the first dre++ana
will manifest its effect e5ternally, maybe on the s+in of the s+ull or the hair etc.
iii" In )(: , if A,. or Dth house has 2a and Getu, or ;th or 8th lord in Dth
house, there can be some inclination to accidents, especially in the dasa of those
houses

iv" )8,; Trimsamsa
a*. @n spiritualism it is taught of a P,9A<O= ,#-?P called PAPAQPL2L,9A
which is a reflection of our own self, but the dar+er side which includes all the
negative things we have done for ages and many births. !his is the
trimsamsa..the shadowy world of our self. 9ence, the ,un and 7oon do not own
any trimsamsa as they have light.

taught lessons. !he 1%th rules hospitals and is the Jth '7antra* from the 8th
'<iseases*. 9ence the 1%th house shows the way to get out of diseases and
other such bad +arma. @t is the future 'Jth* of the 8th house.
c*. A ,aturn placed in such a place is not good as it delays the recovery from
diseases, ma+es the effect of the mantra nil due to mista+es or P"O!

get out of the cycle of disease and debt.
e* A clean heart is the +ey to happiness I laughter. enus 'fulfilment of desires*

f* . !he Arudha pada of the si5th house gives the body part that shall be afflicted
due to the diseases.
g*. enus rules the 7ritun3aya 7antra and the strength of enus in this division is
important for recovery from diseases. !he ,un and the 7oon represent the Atma
',oul* and the 7ana '7ind* respectively. Affliction to the ,un will result in
suffering, poverty and misery while affliction to the 7oon will cause ill health and
death. ,ince 7ars and enus rules the signs of e5altation of the ,un and 7oon,

Asta+ varga is very powerful tool in edic astrology, narrated by -ord ,hiva.
One small rule helpful for 7edical astrology is given, this method is highly
mathematical
?ind the total the bindus from: !he Ascendant to ,aturn , ,aturn to the
Ascendant, !he Ascendant to 7ars ,7ars to the Ascendant @n each case multiply
the sum by K and divide the product by %K. !he &uotient will indicate the age
when the native will be afflicted by diseases and other misfortunes.
@n the year represented by the bindus in the unfavourable house occupied by
2ahu, the native will be affected by poison. ,imilarly the age shown by 7ars will
witness surgical operation, and the age shown by ,aturn will indicate diseases
and miseries. !hus if a house is afflicted by malefic in the horoscope, the effect of
such affliction would be shown in the life of a person in the year shown by the
sign, where the planet causing affliction is placed.

A" 0emedial Measures in Vedic Astrology
edic astrology suggest three remedial measures 7ani '0ems* 7antra'
Prayer*,Aushadhi ' Aurvedic 7edicines*
A.(" Mani !ems"
7ani '0ems* can be used
D.1.1* e5ernally by wearing them in rings and nec+less ,different theories which
support the therapeutic use of 0ems are colure therapy, theories of tatvas, hot
and cold nature of 0ems stones and electromagnetic or aura theory which lin+s
the gems effect on different char+as in body.
D.1.%* internally by ta+ing them orally in the form of Bhasmas and Pisti.
.A.(.(" -xternal /se of !ems
a" +election of Mani !ems" for wearing
Prescription of 0emstone is one of the most important aspects of remedies in
/yotish ,hastra. !he use of 0emstone is also endorsed by shastras such as
0aruda Purana which gives elaborate description of the nature of the gemstones
and their use. #ven though gemstone use is one of the most popular source of
remedies for all ills of the material world, may it be health, wealth or fortune, it is
fraught with many misconceptions and erroneous notions of their selection and
prescription.
I " !emstone of Doga$arta
,ince the gemstones enhance the influence of the planet in the life of the person,
the gemstones for the planets giving yogas should always be chosen. !o +now
the yoga givers or the yoga:+ara+as in a horoscope,
i* -agna lord is the first and foremost yoga +ara+a in a horoscope, since is the
owner of both Gendra '4uadrant* and Gona '!rine*. 9e is protector of the -agna,
which represent health, vitality and the controller of the whole horoscope. !he
placement of the -agna lord is e5tremely important for the overall strength of the
horoscope and its gemstone can help a person overcoming all difficulties in life.
ii* !he lords of two trines fifth and ninth are e&ually important. !hey are the two
important houses which control the financial wellbeing of a person. @f they are
badly placed in the horoscope, then the person might suffer financially in life.
!hus their strength is e5tremely important in addition to the lords of second and
eleventh, who signify =ealth and @ncome.
#ach planet can give results on the following basis.
1. -ordship
%. Placement
(. "atural Gara+atva ',ignifications*
D. Eoga '#5change, .on3unction, Aspects*
9ence it must be remembered that a good planet 'lords of -agna, Jth and Fth* /
Eoga: +ara+a if placed in a dusthana ';th / 8th/ 1%th*, they can also give malefic
results in addition to their inherent benefic nature to do good. ,imilarly if the
yoga+ara+as are involved in other bad yogas, they can give bad results, while
their gemstones are worn. =henever there is a con3unction or e5change of two
planets, their inherent and functional nature is greatly modified. =hen a benefic
planet comes into association with a malefic planet, then the benefic nature of
the planet is corrupted and it starts giving malefic results, however the malefic
planet gains out of the company and gives good results. ,uch subtle effects
should always be +ept into consideration, while suggesting a gemstone for
/yotish remedial purposes.
#5ception to this is that, if ,aturn becomes the Eoga:+ara+a and is placed in a
dusthana, then its ability to do good increases. @t is advisable to wear "eelam,
,aturn>s stone for such cases.
ii" !emstone of Cea$ #lanet
@f a yoga:+ara+a 'or any good planet in the horoscope, lords of any houses other
than ;th/ 8th or 1%th* is debilitated, they must be strengthened. One of the ways
is to wear the stone of the debilitated planet. 9owever, the more effective way is
to find the planet who is causing neecha:bhanga to the debilitated planet. @f the
neecha:bhanga is happening with respect to the 7oon, then 7antra would be a
good remedy, however, if it happens with respect to the -agna, then wearing the
gemstone of the planet causing the neecha:bhanga would ma+e the debilitated
planet come out of the state of debilitation.
=hen there is no cancellation of debility of other wea+nesses then the
gemstones for the supporters of the debilitated planet can be prescribed for
causing cancellation of debility or for enhancing the life:forces that are being
destroyed due to the debility. ?or e5ample, the 7oon is debilitated in ,corpio '8th
house of natural $odiac* and is said to be 7A2A"A GA2AGA if placed in the 8th
house from -agna. =ea+ness of such 7oon, in any chart is not good for
longevity. 9ence a blue sapphire is used for enhancing the life:force.
@t must be noted that debilitation of some planets are desirable in a horoscope.
!hey are the lords of the <usthanas ';th/ 8th/ 1%th*. @f the lords of the <usthanas
are placed in other <usthanas in debilitation, then it confers ipareeta ra3a yoga,
whereby the native gains due to the loss of natural and functional significations of
the planet causing the yoga. ?or e5ample, if 8th lord 7oon is involved in
ipareeta 2a3a yoga, by its debilitation in the 1%th house, the native might en3oy
rise in life, but the 7other 'natural signification of 7oon* and the marriage '8th
house is the longevity of marriage* might suffer simultaneously. !o en3oy the fruits
of ipareeta 2a3a yoga, the native must not strengthen such debilitated planets
that confer the yoga.
iii" Vipreeta 0atna &pposite !emstone"
ipareeta means opposite or gemstones used for wea+ening the effects of some
planets in certain houses. @f any house is occupied by an enemy of its Gara+a,
then the significations of the house suffer. Geeping this principle in view, the first
house to be chec+ed in any chart is the ninth house of fortune and <harma with
/upiter I ,un as the significator. 2ahu and ,aturn are the enemies of these
significator and if they are placed in the ninth house, they shall damage fortune
and <harma. !he remedy is to strengthen the concerned Gara+a by wearing its
gemstone in the ring finger. ,u+a "adi states that if 2ahu is in the ninth house,
then the native has good fortune after wearing a !opa$. !he same principle of
ipareeta 2atna 'Opposite 0emstone* has been used here. 2ahu is the enemy
of /upiter and since it is placed in the ninth house, the use of a !opa$ 'gemstone
of /upiter* removes the misfortune caused by 2ahu. ,imilarly, if ,aturn is in the
ninth house, then the person may suffer from poverty/ failure in the homeland
after (; years. !o remove this evil, a ruby, the gemstone of the ,un ',aturn>s
enemy* is worn.
iv" !emstone Vs )asha
9ands in which the gemstones are worn to be chosen on the basis of certain
criteria. !he right hand is ruled /upiter and the left hand by enus indicating
increase 'right hand* or decrease 'left hand* of life force.
!hus, if gemstones have to be prescribed to decrease the evil effects of a malefic
planet, its gemstone should be used in the left hand. ,uch use should be
temporary covering the dasa:bhu+ti of the planet.
=hen the planet is a malefic for the horoscope, the maleficence of the planet can
be reduced by wearing a counter gemstone temporarily during the <asa:bhu+ti of
the planet. @f instead a gem is to be worn for the main <asa planet itself, then it
should be worn in the left hand. ?or e5ample, if 2ahu is malefic then during its
period a Eellow ,apphire/!opa$/.itrine can be worn in the right hand ring finger
or 9essonite/Brown !ourmaline etc can be worn in the left hand middle finger.
v" Blawed !emstone
A genuine gemstone of good &uality should never be used with an imperfect or
flawed gem or with one that is astrologically incompatible with it. ,uta 0oswami
'0aruda Purana* advises 6not to wear a gem that is of inferior &uality or
incompatible even if it is set together with the divine Gausthuba 7ani of ishnu.
/ust as the best of saints lose their merits by bad company, similarly, an
imperfect/inferior or incompatible gemstone can ruin the beneficence of other
good gems.
vi" !emstone and 5agna 5ord
?or determining compatibility of gemstones most astrologers go by the
"aisargi+a ,ambandha 'natural relationship* of other planets with the stone of
the principal/ruling planet. !he 2uling Planet is the strongest one in trines to the
-agna or in the seventh house '1,J,K I F houses*, and if none are there, then the
-agna lord is chosen. !hus if the ruling planet is the 7oon, then all planets are
compatible with it, but if it is the ,un, then only /upiter, 7ars I 7oon are
compatible and their stones can be chosen.
,ince the -agna is the controller of the 9oroscope, the impact of the 0emstone
ultimately falls on the -agna 'more so, since -agna is the controller of the
physical body, where the gemstone is worn*. !he planets, whose gemstone is
worn, should be a friend to the -agna lord as per the naisargi+a sambandha. @f
any planet is inimical to the lord of -agna, the use of its gemstone can damage /
endanger the concerned people related to the house owned by the planet. ?or
e5ample if the lord of the fifth house is inimical to the -agna lord, then the use of
a gemstone of the fifth lord can endanger the life children. 9ence utmost caution
should be used in prescribing gemstones.
vii" 3aisargi$a +ambandha of #lanets
,ome astrologers also use !at+ali+a ,ambandha '.urrent relationship* between
planets in a chart as this also ta+es the individual horoscope into focus. 9ere, the
planets that are Param 7itra, 7itra or ,ama to the ruling planet are chosen for
supportive gemstones.
Among all the methods of 3udging the suitability of a 0emstone namely, the
naisargi+a sambandha, tat+ali+a sambandha and other sambandha, the best and
most beneficial gemstones are those of the planets involved in a beneficial Eoga.
@f the tenth and ninth lord are involved in a <harma:Garmadhipati Eoga, then their
stones should be used together to augment the effects of the Eoga. 0emstones
of planets involved in <uryoga and other malefic combinations or where benefits
accrue if the planets are wea+ and afflicted li+e the ipareeta 2a3yoga, should
never be used.
i" !emstones of Mutually Inmmical #lanets.
0emstones of mutually inimical planets should never be used simultaneously as
they shall prove to be very adverse. 7any astrologers give gemstones of
mutually inimical planets such as 9essonite '2ahu* with 2uby ',un* or Eellow
,apphire '/upiter* or 2ed .oral '7ars*. ,uch combinations can be e5tremely
dangerous for the native. !he natural fight between the owners of the gemstones
can be visible in the life of native, where we can witnessC the native is caught
between many undesirable circumstances without his fault. !he table shown
below shows the natural relationships between the planets.
'" Bingers and !emstone
!he inde5 finger is called !ar3ani and is considered very inauspicious. @n mantra
recitation the beads should never touch this finger, even while turning the rosary
'when we finish one circle of 1)8 beads*. @t rules the 6Aham+ara8 and is the finger
of 6fall8 or e5pression of anger. !he 0yana 7udra has all fingers e5cept this
inde5 finger stretched out with the inde5 finger 'of anger* being in touch with and
controlled by the A+asha !attva of the !humb. "ormally for people who are
spiritual / worship their 0uru, gemstones should not be used in this finger. ,ome
astrologers prescribe 2uby / Eellow ,apphire for Power / =ealth respectively, for
use in the inde5 finger. 9owever these gemstones have been found to give better
results of stable power and gradual stable growth in finance in the ring finger.
Tatwa in #almistry
!he gemstone of a planet placed in a house should be worn according to the
&uadrant 'Gendra house* is whose trines it is placed. !hus a planet in the ninth
house influences the <harma !ri+ona and its gemstone should be worn in the
ring finger. 0emstones of planets in 7o+sha !ri+ona 'D, 8, 1%* should not be
prescribed as then they would be worn in the !ar3ani '@nde5 finger*. @nstead
mantra of these planets should be advised.
?urther gemstone cannot be worn in the finger of inimical elements. ?or e5ample,
if a 2ed .oral is to be worn for 7ars placed in the seventh house, this cannot be
prescribed for the little finger due to 7ars ruling Agni !attva 'fire element*, which
is opposed to the ayu !attva 'Air element*. !hus a .oral can only be worn in the
ring finger 'Agni !attva / ?ire* or middle finger 'Prithvi !attva / #arth*. /ust as the
thumb is different from the other four fingers and in con3unction with them does
all wor+, the A+asha !attva '#ther element1symboli$ed by the !humb* permeates
all signs of the other elements and is the driving force / <hi ,ha+ti.
$" !emstone and Arudha 5agna
,ince the gemstones are ta+en for fulfilling the material pursuits in the life than
anything else, the arudha lagna plays a very vital role in selection of the
gemstones. Arudha -agna shows the image in this world or in other words, the
perception of the world related to the native. !his is the material manifestation of
the e5istantial reality of a person. 7aharishi parashara says that planets in the
twelfth of Arudha -agna 'A-* can show the sources of e5penditure, while that in
the 11th from the A- show the sources of @ncome. #ven though the promise of
the wealth can be seen from different dhana yogas in the horoscope and the
strength of the %nd, 11th and the trines, the sources and the &uantum of the
gains or losses can be seen from the Arudha.
!hus, it is very important to consider the placement of Planets with respect to the
Arudha -agna for final selection of an 0emstone. !he following guidelines can
help in such 3udgementA
1. @f a planet is placed in or aspecting the 1%th from the Arudha -agna, the
gemstone for such planet can increase the e5penditure of the native. 7alefics
are well placed here as it confer ra3ayoga while placed here in addition to the
e5penses shown. 9owever one must remember that planets placed here shows
the persons who would secretly oppose the native in various activities. ,o the
gemstones of such planets to be chosen after careful consideration of all factors
involved.
%. !he gemstone of a planet placed in or aspecting the 11th from Arudha -agna
shall give income from the sources indicated by the planet. !he sources can be
+nown by 3udging both the functional as well as natural significations of the
concerned planet.
(. !he %nd and Kth house from the Arudha -agna are the houses of sustainance
of the @mage. !hey should be occupied by benefics or e5alted planets. @f they are
occupied by malefics, the gemstones of such planets can cause fall of image and
troubles in career and various other troubles. @n addition the planets in the Kth
from Arudha lagna shows the persons who would openly oppose the person in
various activities, and this is more true with respect to the 7alefics. !hus if
benefics are placed in the Kth from the Arudha -agna, their gemstones can be
given, provided the native can withstand the opposition shown by the concerned
planet.
D. !he planets in the Arudha -agna shows how the world perceives the native.
!he presence of 7oon or /upiter in the Arudha -agna gives long lasting fame.
!hey should otherwise be placed with benefics or e5alted planets and gemstones
of such 7oon, /upiter, benefics or e5alted planets can be beneficial to the native,
otherwise it can be harmful.
,imilarly the lord of the Arudha -agna should ideally be well placed in either
e5altation, mulatri+ona, own house or friends house. @f gemstone of such planets
is worn, it would benefit the native by uplifting his image. @f such planet is in fall or
unfavourably placed, then the gemstone of the planet, countering the evil has to
be worn 'please refer to relevant section for more information on this*
J. 7alefics in the (rd or ;th gives material success whereas benefics in these
places ma+es the person spiritual, unless they are debilitated. !hus wearing the
gemstones of the malefics placed in (rd or ;th can help in fulfilment of ob3ectives
and gaining over all odds. 9owever, malefics in the (rd from A- can be
detrimental to the health and longevity, thus while prescribing the gemstones,
one need to consider this factor as well.
;. !he eighth house is also very crucial in a way that it controls the longevity of
the person. 7alefics placed over there can harm the health of the person and
also the image. ,tones of such malefics placed there should never be worn.
K. All planets either be benefics or malefics give good results and financial gains
while placed in the Fth house from the arudha -agna. Lnless any other adverse
yogas e5ist, gemstone of such planet would be beneficial to the native.
8. 1)th house shows the impact of a planet in the nativeHs career. Benefics are
best suited here and malefics are prohibited. ?or e5ample, if ,aturn is placed in
such 1)th, then the career becomes a bed of thorne for the native.
b " use of !emstone for )iesease
@n ancient edic te5ts, li+e the )rihat #amhita, the origin and healing powers of
various gems are discussed. Persons may use substitute stones instead of the
more e5pensive gems. 2ed garnet can replace rubyC moonstone can replace
