Why Day and Metal Matter
In traditional astrology, each planet has a weekday and metal association. The day is selected to honour the planet, while the metal is believed to support the gemstone’s energy. These are spiritual traditions and should be followed with faith and proper guidance.
Mantra Practice Before Wearing a Gemstone
Many people chant the mantra of the related planet before wearing a gemstone. The exact mantra, count and method may vary by tradition. It is best to follow the guidance of a trusted astrologer or priest.
How to Wear a Gemstone Carefully
- Check gemstone suitability through a Janam Kundli.
- Choose a natural and certified gemstone.
- Use the suggested metal and finger.
- Wear it on the recommended weekday.
- Keep the ring clean and treat it respectfully.
Why Kundli Checking Matters
Gemstones are not one-size-fits-all. The same stone may be suitable for one person and unsuitable for another depending on Lagna, Moon sign, dasha and planet strength. For personalised guidance, book an AstroIndia consultation.
Blue Sapphire Note
Blue Sapphire is connected with Saturn and should be chosen only after chart analysis. You can read more in the Blue Sapphire gemstone guide.
