Gemstones are primarily rare and beautiful mineral crystals that are cut and polished for use in jewellery or decorative items. In ancient times, kings and emperors wore gemstones to influence or control the energies of their ruling planets. Different types of gemstones are worn to correspond with different celestial bodies such as Ruby, Emerald, Yellow Sapphire, Pearl, Coral, and Blue Sapphire.

In Vedic astrology, a deep and direct connection is believed to exist between gemstones and planets. Each planet possesses its own unique energy, and gemstones serve as a medium to balance or amplify that specific energy. There are specific gemstones as well as their substitutes available for every planet. For instance, a specific gemstone is prescribed for each specific planet: Coral for Mars, Blue Sapphire for Saturn, and Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter.

A gemstone is recommended only when the planet associated with it is a Yogakarak (benefic) in your horoscope, is exalted, is a friend of the Lagna (Ascendant) Lord, is positioned in its own sign within the 1st, 5th, or 9th houses, is weak in terms of degrees, or if the “Lagna” Lord itself is weak.

Afterward, rinse the item thoroughly with water and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

Suppose you wish to wear a Yellow Sapphire; in that case, after cleaning the ring or locket (which had been kept immersed in the bowl), place it near a Shiva Lingam or near the idol of Lord Vishnu in a temple. Then, perform a puja (worship ritual) using incense or Dhoop, a lamp (Deep), and flowers.

For the Yellow Sapphire, chant the Beej Mantra (seed mantra) of Jupiter at least 108 times. Subsequently, chant a mantra dedicated to Lord Shiva 108 times. Finally, after offering your obeisance to Lord Shiva, you may wear the ring or locket while chanting your Guru Mantra.

The traditional scriptural procedure Vidhan for this is to first chant the Guru Mantra 125,000 times, followed by performing Havan (sacrificial fire ritual) for 10% of that count, Tarpan (ritual offering) for 10%, Marjan (ritual purification) for 10%, and offering donations related to the planet Jupiter; only after completing these steps should one wear the gemstone.
