Neutralizing the influence of planets. Stones of planets in Vedic astrology Vedic astrology stone according to zodiac sign

Anyone interested in astrology knows that one of the main harmonizations for planets is wearing precious stones. But not everyone knows that rare and expensive crystals have substitute analogues. The Vedas say that gems are frozen in the Earth energies of surrounding planets. Gemstones larger than three carats are favorable for planets. There are four varieties in total: diamond, ruby, which is always red, emerald, which is always green, and sapphire, the only precious stone that has many varieties of color. All other crystals are semi-precious or ornamental. But these stones, despite their lower value, transmit the energy of the planets. In this article we will look at budget options for crystals for harmonizing the planets, and also learn how to distinguish natural ones from fakes.

Stones -substitutes for the Sun

Gemstone: ruby.

Substitute: Garnet and all red members of the garnet family, such as almandine.

When choosing a crystal or stone, you need to take into account the fact that the energy of the planet passes best through perfectly transparent samples. The other side of the problem is that it is precisely the perfectly transparent stones most easily achieved synthetically. It is much more difficult to create a crystal with defects that would look authentic. Therefore, what exactly you choose is up to you. We will only tell the general provisions.

If we talk about ruby, then you need to understand that the price of a three-time pure and cut stone starts from 70,000 rubles. Stones less than three carats are not considered as a harmonizing measure, so there is no point in talking about samples that are smaller. If you take a cloudy ruby ​​of this carat value, you can find very inexpensive examples.

When choosing grenades, it makes sense to look per color. It does not turn crimson like rubies. Garnet color - This is crimson blood. Garnet is never scarlet-red, and even with skillful cutting, it shimmers quite calmly, not brightly. Mostly even in fairly clean stones meet blackheads, It is rare to find completely transparent samples. The most common stone size is a garnet seed. Larger stones require careful examination. An important difference between natural garnet is that it is magnetic. Of course, not like metal, but with the help of jewelry scales you can notice this. Place a pebble on the sensitive scale, and then bring a magnet to it. The weight of the stone should become less. Of course, this only works for unmounted grenades. And one more important difference: garnet is harder than glass, so if the stone is cut, you can cut the edge a millimeter across the glass. There should be a scratch left.

Substitute stones for Saturn

Gemstone: blue sapphire.

Substitute: amethyst, tanzalite, lapis lazuli.

The price of a triple blue sapphire is somewhere around three thousand dollars. This is the most valuable of all sapphires - cornflower blue. A striking difference between a real sapphire is the presence of its own own light. This curious anomaly can be noticed by removing the sapphire in a white plate in the moonlight. A real stone will fill the entire plate with a blue glow. This will not happen with a fake. Some astrologers believe that if Saturn is an absolute benefactor in the chart, but needs strengthening, you can wear blue sapphires. But if Saturn is harmful, to harmonize it it is permissible to wear blue stones, as if softening its effect. Ideally, of course, stones are worn only to enhance favorable planets. If the planet is malefic, then its stones are not worn.

Among the substitutes for Saturn, the most popular and widespread is amethyst. This is purple quartz. It, like all quartz, is denser than glass, so you can also use a glass or mirror for determination, as in the example with garnet. You can also distinguish amethyst from colored glass using steel knife. Amethyst is very dense and steel, even well sharpened, cannot scratch the crystal. Natural amethyst does not have absolute transparency, nor does it have uniformity and brightness of color. If you are offered a bright purple transparent pebble, and at an average price, then it is absolutely an artificially grown fake. IN best case scenario it is a real, but heated stone. For brightness, jewelers often heat the stones, which leads to the destruction of the crystal lattice and a complete loss of properties and strength. So don't go for bright colors. Also, the pursuit of absolute purity can be a problem. Since natural stone almost always there are inclusions and pure samples of amethyst are close in value to sapphire. Another interesting property of amethyst is that it doesn't heat up well that is, if you squeeze it in your palm, it will remain cool for quite a long time.

Substitute stones for Jupiter

Gemstone: yellow sapphire.

Substitutes: citrine.

Yellow sapphire is a jewelry rarity. That is, there is more of it in nature than blue, but it is less often bought due to the lack contrast with gold. Therefore, you will not find clearly inadequate low prices for yellow sapphire, as for blue sapphire. For example, a ring with a one-carat blue sapphire will start from 3,000 - 5,000 rubles - and this is clearly an artificially grown stone. But the same ring with a yellow sapphire starts from 8,000 – 14,000 rubles. But for samples from three carats, on the contrary, yellow sapphires are cheaper. And all because small blue sapphires are almost the most frequently counterfeited specimen of all crystals.

Citrine, like amethyst, will scratch the glass. It is also impossible to find bright colors and it There are no lemon shades. Citrine is closer in color to buckwheat honey. But the most common is a dark brown-yellow-green, cold color close to marsh; such citrines are least counterfeited due to the unsightly color. These citrines are often confused with rauch topaz. Otherwise, ferruginous quartz or heated amethysts are often passed off as citrines. This is very easy to find out during an examination.

Substitute stones for Mercury

Gemstone: Emerald

Substitutes: Chrysolite

Emerald is probably the most frequently counterfeited stone among precious gems. But the price of even a completely cloudy and pale small crystal of beryl (the so-called underdeveloped emerald) 2 - 3 cm starts from 20,000 rubles. Natural emerald very soft. Because of this, the edges of the stone are rarely even. Unlike ruby, emerald does not have strong shimmering ability, because of its softness. But the emerald has a very deep fresh herbal color, this is exactly what you need to look for in the stone.

Peridot, unlike emerald, is often light green, not green. Some jewelers classify it as precious, but its value is still quite low. You can check whether this is a crude fake made of plastic using an ordinary knife. Natural chrysolite has a very even color, one of the few stones. Same as amethyst peridot heats up very poorly. And like pomegranate, large specimens are extremely rare.

Substitute stones for Venus

Gemstone: Diamond

Substitute: rock crystal, quartz, turquoise

In counterfeiting diamonds, modern chemistry has achieved ideal results. Therefore, even a professional under a microscope cannot identify well-forged diamonds. Here, perhaps, first of all you need to rely on the reputation of the store that sold you the stones. Such a purchase must be accompanied by very serious certificates.

But rock crystal is ten times more affordable. True, we treat crystal too calmly; Russian people are sure that there is a lot of it and no one will undertake to counterfeit it. However, this is not true. First of all, what distinguishes natural crystal from a fake is that it's very dense. Scratch it It won't work with scissors. But with the crystal itself you can easily leave a scratch on the glass. Unlike glass, when crystal breaks, it does not shatter into small fragments; it, as a rule, splits in half or into several large pieces. In natural crystal no inclusions, it must be clean. He also has good thermal conductivity. That is, whenever you touch the crystal, you will feel a slight chill. But just holding it in your hand will immediately warm it up. And as soon as you let it go, it will immediately cool down again. If we compare natural crystal with diamond, the latter shimmers, of course, brighter.

Substitute stones for the Moon

Stone: Adularia (moonstone), pearl.

Substitute: belomorite, labrodarite

Moonstone itself is a semi-precious stone. Therefore, there may be no need for substitutes. The price of a moonstone the size of a ruble coin is about 3,000 rubles. This is the price of an imperfect sample. By the way, there are almost no perfectly transparent stones without large transverse cracks and inclusions. The price of a clean and transparent sample would be several tens of thousands of rubles. So don't be fooled. The moonstone market is flooded with obvious fakes, which sellers, honestly looking into the eyes, pass off as stone. In fact, if you see a homogeneous stone without cracks, slightly cloudy and costing less than 15,000, it is absolutely not a moonstone. Uniform distribution of colors in natural stone is just as impossible as uniform iridescence (play). Somewhere there will be a glow, and somewhere not. When rotating the stone should give different overflows in different areas. That is colors should follow the light. In natural stone, the blue and violet glow prevails over other colors.

Focus more on the rocks with uneven texture. But it must be said, and this is true for all stones: now they have learned to fake crystals with inclusions. But there is another interesting way to distinguish natural adularia: immerse it in water for an hour. After all, the Moon oversees water on our planet, so moonstone is very connected with water. And it will be clearly visible that the stone has become very bright after being in the water. Another good way to protect yourself from fakes is to purchase rare substitutes such as labradorite and belomorite. They also have a blue glow. Belomorite is very similar to lunar, and labradorite is green-swamp in color. They are little-known and very inexpensive, so there is no point in counterfeiting them.

If we talk about pearls, the price of river pearls is from 20 to 100 dollars per pearl. Saltwater pearls start at $500. In addition to price, bounciness distinguishes natural pearls from fake ones. A fake pearl will bounce off the floor no more than 3 times, while real pearls are much more bouncy. Obviously, a natural pearl does not have an even shape, uniform texture and color. Nowadays, artificially grown pearls are very common, which, of course, are several times inferior to natural ones in terms of the power of subtle lunar energy. It can be distinguished by its dark core, which is not found in real pearls. Using a magnifying glass, as a rule, it is possible to find black stripe of the core.

Substitute stones for Mars

Stone: red coral

It is a very naive opinion that red coral is not counterfeited. Many people believe that by buying coral in its natural, unprocessed form, they protect themselves from imitation. In reality, there are many fakes, and even more artificially grown coral. Good way To distinguish natural coral: chop a piece and add vinegar. The mixture should foam. Or just put product with coral in vinegar. Bubbles should appear. But a fake made from pressed shells will also produce foam. Another difference - pronounced texture. If you look at coral under a magnifying glass, you will see something like tree bark. Coral can color milk in a pinkish color, unfortunately, a fake made of painted bone can also give this effect, but one made from plastic cannot. The presence of small bubbles in the texture absolutely says it's a fake.

It is believed that if Mars is very active, you can wear pink coral. It harmonizes Mars without strengthening it. All of the above methods are suitable for checking the authenticity of this coral.

Substitute stones for Rahu

Stone: hessonite

Substitutes: zircon and amber

Hessonite is a garnet and is the softest of all. It has a honey-cinnamon rich color. In museums and churches you can find many icons with hessonite frames. This stone is especially noted in Christianity. In addition to the pronounced softness of emerald, hessonite does not have a bright color; it is deep and thick, but not bright. And in general, it must be said that it is quite rarely counterfeited, since only special connoisseurs are interested in this stone.

Brown zircons are also good for Rahu, but they are much more often counterfeited. Amber is an excellent substitute. There is quite a lot of it in Russia and it is easy to distinguish it from a fake. Natural amber becomes electrified when rubbed with wool and attracts dust particles and threads. Unmounted amber can be tested for buoyancy. Dilute the saline solution and lower the sample, natural amber will float up. Heating can be used to distinguish amber from chemical resins. Natural resin will give a clove smell, not a chemical one. Also, if you drop alcohol on the sample and it becomes sticky, you have a chemical resin. Pressed amber can be identified by sprinkling machine ether on it. The fake will become soft and sticky.

Substitute stones for Ketu

Stone: cat's eye

This stone is named after the optical effect it creates. We see a strip of light on the stone, similar to a cat's pupil. The price of a real stone is comparable to the prices of rubies and emeralds. But now in stores you can find a lot of artificially grown stone at very low prices. Such stones are not suitable for our purposes; the most that can be expected from them is a decorative effect. One of important differences natural stone: the strip of light should be clear and not move when the stone is rotated. Jewelry glass is often used to make counterfeits, so any expert under a good microscope can distinguish a fake. Of the obvious signs: glass has a very bright color, which is not typical for these stones. And one more sign: glass scratches easily.

It is also said that besides cat's eyes, alexandrite is a good stone for Ketu. But it is a very rare gemstone. You can buy a real small pebble for only a few thousand dollars. But if you already have it, know that it strengthens Ketu.

Many people decorate their bodies with precious and semi-precious stones. This tradition has been around for a long time, and in India, the birthplace of Ayurveda, it generally goes back to ancient times. Then, according to legend, many kings and sages were simultaneously the owners of the largest and most powerful stones in the country. What does "powerful" mean? According to Ayurveda, human body may be affected by gemstones. That is, it is not just decoration! Whether we know this when wearing stones or not, different precious stones (even very small ones) seriously affect health and mood, and possibly change fate.

Vedic astrology– Jyotish is strongly associated with the use of stones. After all, recognizing a problem in your horoscope, learning about its existence from an astrologer is one thing, but “working” with it is a completely different matter, you must agree! Even today, some wealthy Hindus (including those familiar with Vedic astrology and yoga) literally have stones on all the fingers of both hands. And this is by no means a tribute to some kind of fashion or a demonstration of wealth. This is an attempt - and usually not in vain! – change your destiny a little for the better. If you even potentially accept the idea that wearing the right gemstones in a certain way can have beneficial effects on your health, you can harness this power, just as the knowledgeable Hindus have done for the last several thousand years!

There is curious historical evidence that in ancient times the population of India had gold in much more than can be imagined now, and even simple peasants could afford to wear gold jewelry. The wealthier men - those involved in the authorities, including the military elite - wore gold helmets, weapons, massive bracelets, and their wives wore earrings in their ears and nose, bracelets on their arms and legs, tiaras and tiaras made of gold, as well as with large precious stones. This is confirmed by both Indian sources and ancient Greek and ancient Chinese. Now, of course, it is impossible to prove this for certain or unequivocally refute it. But let's say it as a hypothesis.

In fact, many gemstones (non-jewelry quality, up to 5 carats) are still so cheap in India that even a grandmother who sells vegetables at the market can afford them, and the tradition of using these stones is very strong.

There is also scientific explanation this interesting theory. ( I myself am not a scientist, not a physicist or a biologist, so if someone is more familiar with this issue than me, please speak up in the comments). The idea is that the pores of our skin (and there are billions of them) are capable of not only removing water and chemicals from the body and receiving them from the outside (for example, Ayurvedic massage using various oils is based on this), but also receiving electrical and magnetic energy from the outside. Electromagnetic influences on the body create ionic charges in it: positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ones (anions). They are carried throughout the body with the lymphatic fluid, and from it enter the blood plasma, which ultimately contains electrolytes (nutrients in liquid form). Thus, electromagnetic influences indirectly affect the circulatory system and its chemical composition. Through the circulatory system, they naturally affect all other systems of the body! Let's let scientists argue about this - since, again, we are not able to confirm or refute these scientific facts. It is much more accurate and easier to test the effectiveness of the effects of stones on yourself.

I'll tell you from my own experience. Ayurvedic stone, although not cheap, once helped me solve very real heart problems. I wore the stone for about six months, the problem was solved. One fact speaks in favor of the fact that this stone really had an effect on my body: a well-known astrologer in India (a complete stranger to me and who did not know me personally before this meeting) stated right from the doorway that I had this particular stone on my body, and that it has already helped me to a great extent! Are these miracles or scientific fact– it’s hard to say. But for my part I want to emphasize: what I mean we're talking about in this article, tested by me through experience.

Sometimes the selection of a stone is unconscious - “I like it, that’s it - I’ll take it!” This is justified only if a person has outstanding intuition (such people don’t even need to read further, they already know everything “in their hearts”). But more often it’s just a tribute to fashion or aesthetics - you like the appearance of the stone, the frame is beautiful, it looks beautiful on the body, with some clothes, or just a gift (“my husband bought it - well, that means you have to wear it, otherwise he’ll be offended”). This is not a very good motivation for wearing a stone, and can lead to serious illnesses. But a person who has at least minimally understood the science of the effects of stones will not stumble so much, and even if he receives some negative impact stone, he will very quickly determine “where the wind is blowing” and remove it. This is important, because precious stones and metals have a rather strong effect on the body.

It is no longer a secret of Ayurveda that wearing a gold wedding ring on the ring finger of the left hand is not useful for everyone, and sometimes it needs to be replaced with silver or another alloy, or worn on another finger, or removed altogether, focusing on the state of health (gold internally overheats body, which can, with “excess sun”, spoil the skin, bones, teeth, and character).

Stones affect all levels - physical (health, digestion, possibility of childbearing, absence of diseases, pleasant appearance and much more), energetic (strength and vigor, married life, charisma, business qualities, creativity, etc.), and mental (intellectual abilities, determination, the presence of noble qualities of character and the absence of bad habits).

There are a total of 9 main types of gemstones that have been proven to be beneficial to humans, and their effects are related to exposure to electromagnetic field certain planets (Earth and its inhabitants):

1. Ruby – Sun;
2. Pearl* – Moon;
3. Red coral* – Mars;
4. Emerald - Mercury;
5. Yellow sapphire – Jupiter;
6. Diamond - Venus;
7. Blue sapphire – Saturn;
8. Zircon – North (ascending) node of the Moon – “Dragon’s Head”;
9. Cat's eye (chrysoberyl) – southern (descending) node of the Moon – “Dragon's Tail”.

(*Pearls and coral, of course, are not stones, but are classified as such in Ayurveda.)

The Vedas contain a direct indication of the benefits of wearing precious stones, and explain (albeit rather mystically) that the benefits come from the crystalline “fire” that gave birth to stones in the bowels of the Earth. Indra, the “king of the gods,” according to legend, wore a huge diamond tied to his hand, which was either called “lightning” or had the power to emit lightning. Perhaps both – because this practice (of wearing a stone on the body) in special cases can give paranormal abilities - so say the legends.

Descriptions of the use of precious stones are found in other ancient texts such as the Mahabharata, Agni Purana, Devi Bhagavata Purana, Garuda Purana and Vishnu Dharmotra Purana, among others.

Be that as it may, the influence of precious stones on the human biofield in the Ancient - and modern India– has never been in doubt. Will we, non-Hindus and people not very privy to occult sciences, be able to benefit from such stones? Yes, most likely. Because to do this you just need to choose the right stone - and of course, wear it on your body. Special rituals (aimed at cleansing the energy and “recharging”) enhance the benefits, but are not required.

It is important to remember that the effect of stones directly depends on the color, and the color corresponds to Guna - “the quality of material nature,” or, more simply, the mood that the stone will evoke in you.

White(or transparent stone) – Sattva (Purity)
Red– Raja-guna (Passion, Energy)
Black– Tamo-guna (Ignorance, laziness, apathy, etc.)

It’s worth saying right away that there is no need to be alarmed if the stone is not “noble” in color. We are all unique and different people At different stages of development (and for different health problems) different stones are needed. A stone can “work”, and then there will be no need for it - this is not for life! In fact, the color of the stone is combined with the color of the ruling planet, which further complicates the “palette”, but in any case you need to trust a knowledgeable astrologer and take the recommended stone. Any stone “prescribed” to you by an Ayurvedic doctor, no matter what color or character it is, is, in fact, medicine and will benefit your health by closing the “gap” in the color spectrum of your energy so that you become more holistic.

How to choose stones to wear? To begin with, you will need to draw up - not on your own, of course, but with the help of a Jyotish astrologer - a natal chart. The most important house in the chart will be the first house - the “ascendant”. That is, you need to wear a stone of the “ascending” planet for your horoscope.

It is important to note that you need to contact a specialist in sidereal astrology, Eastern, not Western: such specialists work in India, China, Japan - but can also be found in Russia. The specialist will tell you not only the stone, but also what kind of frame is needed (from what metals or metals), as well as on which finger and how to wear the stone - all this is fundamentally important for the success of “treatment” with stones!

You should also take into account that only stones without flaws, scratches, even in color and not dull are useful. So, in truth, you need a gem-quality stone. If possible, do not waste your time on stones with a flaw, and of course, carefully inspect the stone before purchasing! Wearing a flawed stone often carries the risk of attracting negative energies, evil eye, bad luck.

1. Aries: coral, Mars, Tuesday.

2. Taurus: Diamond, Venus, Friday.

3. Gemini: emerald, Mercury, Wednesday.

4. Cancer: pearls, Moon, Wednesday.

5. Leo: ruby, Sun, Sunday.

6. Virgo: emerald, Mercury, Wednesday.

7. Libra: Diamond, Venus, Friday.

8. Scorpio: coral, Mars, Tuesday.

9. Sagittarius: yellow sapphire, Jupiter, Thursday.

10. Capricorn: blue sapphire, Saturn, Saturday.

11. Aquarius: blue sapphire, Saturn, Sunday.

12. Pisces: yellow sapphire, Jupiter, Thursday.

Usually, an astrology specialist is able to very competently select a stone, its size (carat) and setting. However, you can check for yourself whether everything was fair and correct: stones set in gold, copper, or iron are worn on the left hand, and in silver on the right.

When choosing a frame, pay special attention that the stone should touch the skin of your finger.

If the stone is expensive and you do not want to show it off, then the jeweler can make you a closed frame (“with the stone inward”) - this will not detract from its beneficial effect.

Finally, among the stones that suit your horoscope, the choice is still yours! Ask the jeweler or Ayurvedic practitioner from whom you are purchasing the stone to give you several options to choose from. Hold different stones in your hand: it is best to do this while standing, on half-bent legs, and holding the stone in your left hand. Feel the energy, the character of the stone... One stone will “respond” in sensations noticeably more than others - this one is “yours”. Wear it for your health!

When creating the material, materials were used from the rare book of the famous Master of Yoga and Ayurveda Harish Johari “Dhanvantari. Life according to the laws of Ayurveda" ( ).

To have a beneficial effect on the body, precious stones are worn on the body or the water in which they have been left for a night or more is drunk. Gems revitalize the energy centers of the body (chakras) and directly affect vata, pitta and kapha. They can be used to activate or calm certain organs of the body, to enhance or neutralize the influence of planets in a personal horoscope.

When using gemstones, the following must be taken into account.

• Stones and jewelry tend to absorb the qualities and energetic vibrations of their previous owners, so they need to be cleansed before use. To do this, just immerse them in salt water or milk for a couple of days. It won't hurt them.
• When you wear a gemstone, it should touch the skin (a small window is made in the frame for this) so that its subtle energies can directly interact with the energies of the body.
• In addition, it is important which finger you wear the stone on.

• diamond - unnamed,
• pearls - little finger,
• red coral - unnamed,
• emerald - little finger,
• opal - nameless,
• yellow sapphire - index,
• blue sapphire - medium.

Stones that have been subjected to heat or chemical treatment may not have the original healing energy. It is better to purchase real, untreated, clean stones without cracks or defects. When you are going to buy a stone, be sure to use a magnifying glass to check for cracks or other imperfections.

If possible, stones weighing 3-5 carats should be worn, but a diamond of 1 carat is sufficient. A stone that is too small will not have a noticeable effect.

Unless you yourself are knowledgeable about both the properties of stones and Vedic astrology (Jyotish), it is wise to consult with a specialist before investing in the purchase of a gemstone. Choosing the wrong stone or wearing it on the wrong part of the body can have an adverse effect.

Here are some characteristics of the main precious and semi-precious stones.
