The Benefits Of Wearing Navaratna Jewellery?
Based on Astrology, it is believed that a person’s life on Earth is affected by the nine planets (or the Navagrahas) in our solar system, including the Sun and the Moon. Hence, wearing navaratna jewellery is said to alter the life of the wearer for good, physically and mentally.
One of the most important gemstones in the navaratna, the Ruby is placed towards the centre, called the Bhramasthana. It represents the Sun and is considered as an answer to positive energy, longevity, power, success and spirituality. Hence, it is also known as the ‘King of jewels’. It is associated with the star sign Leo.
The most precious of all gemstones, the diamond is worn to celebrate Venus, the feminine planet. Diamond is believed to bring the wearer riches, power and marital bliss. The star sign associated with the diamond is Taurus and Libra.
Peace, emotional stability, and creativity are to prevail where the moon is worshipped. Pearl is the ruler of the star sign Cancer. It is also recommended for those in the creative field.
This red gemstone associated with the planet Mars is said to boost courage and self-esteem. Wearing Red Coral ward off doshas and presents the wearer with physical strength, beauty, happy marriage and agility. The ruling star signs will be Aries and Scorpio.
The Hessonite is said to help the wearer from adversities, addictions, drug and alcohol abuse and gambling. It can control and concentrate the power of Rahu in attracting positive energy, fame, legal and political success, to the wearer. Also, the ill-effects associated with Rahu including, excessive worldly desires and marital discord can be diverted away by wearing the Hessonite.
The Blue Sapphire is worn by those who want to win over Saturn or ‘Shani’, one of the mightiest and fearful of all planets. Capricorn and Aquarius are the star signs associated with the Blue Sapphire. This gemstone is good for curing depression and warding off evil eyes as it is the most protective of all the stones.
If you do not have a well-placed Ketu in your horoscope, the Cat’s Eye is probably what you need. Wearing this gemstone is believed to save you from bad reputations and scandals.
The Yellow Sapphire attracts the qualities of its ruling planet, Jupiter. These qualities include prosperity, luck, wisdom, judgement, and wealth. The associated star signs will be Sagittarius and Pisces.
The gemstone Emerald is beautiful and comes in various shades of green. It plays a vital role in aspects like increased concentration, mental alertness and intellectual power. The star signs associated with Emerald is Gemini and Virgo.
