Gemstone Astrology : List of Gemstones With Pictures

Gemstone astrology is a part of the art of astrology.

Gemstones are advised as a remedy for bad phases in the life of a person based on his astrological planetary constellation during his birth.

They are used to nullify the ill effects of weak and also strengthen their effects for luck, fortune and success of the individual.

This is an ancient art and a gemstone is prescribed to an individual based on different schools of astrology

But Hindu or Vedic gemstone astrology is more accurate in the determination and prescription of proper remedy in the form of a gemstone.

However, as my experience, wearing an incompatible stone can create untoward effects like bad luck, health issues, and even death. See the points on astrology facts.

For suitable gemstone based on your horoscope, check out this article.

Gemstone based on your horoscope.

In the horoscope, you must decide two things

1. Which of the planet is weak and strong in your horoscope chart.

2. Which of the planets are favorable and unfavorable.

Based on the above two factors, if a planet is weak but favorable, you need to strengthen it by using a gemstone for more benefit.

If a planet is unfavorable to you, do not strengthen it by wearing the related gemstone as it causes more trouble.

Also, remember that wearing a gemstone will not vanish all of your problems but only part of your problems.

This because you are strengthening one planet or other but neglecting remaining ones.

Wearing a gemstone will be like putting a new tire to a car with worn tires. One new tire will not avoid all the chances of being punctured as other worn out tires are at risk.

So astrology first prefers to get issues solved by devotion suitable to the god of the planet concerned. If one is not able to pay devotion, then only they advise gemstone.

As a word of caution one should prefer gemstones as a last resort. They should instead go for prayer corresponding deity for beneficial effects. Also, take expert opinion in wearing them.

Never wear ruby, pearl, coral, yellow sapphire in combination with diamond, emerald, blue sapphire, hessonite, and cats eye. First set stones are incompatible with the second set of stones.

Also one has tried them by tying the stone in a similar colored cloth to their arms for 3 days at least to see abnormal effects if any.

Stones without prayer are not active to deliver benefits. Never use already used stones. Always buy new ones. Every gemstone has the lifespan to give its effects. After the lifespan change to new one.
