Blue Sapphire:Gemstone of Saturn-Shani

Blue sapphire is Saturn’s gemstone. When in a nativity Saturn is lord of auspicious houses and is well-placed, blue sapphire will enhance the good effects of Saturn and those houses. If such Saturn is afflicted, wearing of a blue sapphire will neutralize the consequent evil effects and provide protection to the native.

Although blue sapphire is very beneficial for those for whom it is suitable but some very unlucky stones come out of the earth. Blue sapphire should, therefore, always be worn after a trial because an unlucky stone can play havoc with the life of the native.

For the Aries Ascendant – Mesha Lagna

Saturn is lord of the 10th and 11th houses. Although both the houses are auspicious, Saturn has not been considered as an auspicious planet for this Ascendant because of the lordship of the 11th house. But we can say with full confidence that if Saturn as lord of the 10th and 11th is posited in Ascendant, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th (in his sign of exaltation causing Sasa yoga), 9th, 10th (in his own sign causing Sasa yoga), wearing of blue sapphire in the major period of Saturn will bring to the native immense success in professional sphere and abundant financial gains.

For the Taurus Ascendant – Vrisha Lagna

Saturn being lord of 9th (a trine) is considered to be auspicious. For this Ascendant it will be very beneficial to wear blue sapphire in the major period of Saturn. The good results will be pronounced if blue sapphire is worn along with emerald, the gemstone of the lord of the Ascendant.

For Gemini Ascendant -  Mithun Lagna

Saturn becomes lord of 8th & 9th houses and the Mool Trikona Rasi falls in the 9th house. The reader will see that the case becomes ambiguous here. If Saturn is evilly placed in this case i.e., placed in 6, 8 or 12th then we cannot wear blue sapphire in its period. But blue sapphire can be worn if its placement is in the 9th house, or 5th house or if placed in other beneficial houses with Venus or Mercury because association with these two planets induces beneficial results for Saturn. Blue sapphire can be worn in Saturn dasa if Saturn is in 10th with Jupiter. This is the only case when it is with most beneficial planet Jupiter otherwise it becomes a first rate Maraka.

For the Cancer Ascendant – Kark Lagna

Saturn is the lord of the 7th (a maraka sthana) and the 8th (house of longevity and death). Therefore, the natives of this Ascendant should never touch a blue sapphire.

For the Leo Ascendant – Sinha Lagna

The same applies to Leo Ascendant where Saturn is lord of the 6th and 7th and a bitter enemy of Sun, the lord of this Ascendant.

For the Virgo Ascendant – Kanya Lagna

Saturn is lord of 5th (a trine) and 6th. As Saturn is lord of a trine also, the natives of this Ascendant can wear blue sapphire with advantage; but it will be advisable to wear blue sapphire along with emerald, the gemstone of the lord of this Ascendant.

For the Libra Ascendant – Tula Lagna

Saturn being the lord of 4th and 5th, is a yogakaraka. Saturn is also an intimate friend of Venus, the lord of this Ascendant. Therefore, wearing of blue sapphire by the natives of this Ascendant will bring them domestic happiness, gain of landed and house property, happiness in regard to mother and Children, intelligence, good fortune and success in competitive ventures. Blue sapphire will prove more beneficial if it is worn with diamond, the gemstone of Venus, the lord of Ascendant, or emerald, the gemstone of Mercury, the lord of the 9th.

For the Scorpio Ascendant – Vrishchika Lagna

Saturn being lord of the 3m and 4th houses is not considered to be an auspicious planet according to Parashari principles. Still, if Saturn is in his own sign in the 3rd or 4th, blue sapphire can be worn with advantage in the major period of Saturn.

For the Sagittarius Ascendant -  Dhanu Lagna

Saturn being lord of the 2nd (maraka sthana) and the 3rd house, is not considered to be an auspicious planet for this Ascendant. Therefore, normally the natives of this Ascendant should not wear blue sapphire. If Saturn occupies the Ascendant at a person’s birth, he will be poor, sickly, love-stricken, very unclean, suffering from diseases during his childhood and indistinct in his speech. If any one of the signs Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Libra be the Ascendant and Saturn should occupy it at birth, the person concerned will b equal to a king, the headman of a village or the mayor of a city, a great scholar and will be handsome. In the other houses, Saturn produces the same effect as that of Sun in those places.

Thus, the natives of the Sagittarius Ascendant can wear blue sapphire in the major period of Saturn if he is posited in the Ascendant. They will reap the benefits mentioned by Brihat Jatak subject to the structure of the birth chart being otherwise not weak.

For the Capricorn Ascendant – Makar Lagna

Saturn is lord of the Ascendant and the 2nd house (house of wealth and maraka sthana). As Saturn is lord of the Ascendant who always protects the native, he will never act as a maraka.

For the Aquarius Ascendant – Kumbh Lagna

Saturn is lord of the Ascendant and the 12th. He will act more as lord of the Ascendant as his Moola bikona sign falls in it. Therefore, the natives of these two Ascendants should always wear blue sapphire which will not only act as a protective charm but will also enable the natives to enjoy good health, long life, gains of wealth and success in all ventures. It will be very beneficial for the natives of these two Ascendants to wear blue sapphire along with diamond, the gemstone of Venus who is a yogakaraka for both these Ascendants.

For the Pisces Ascendant – Meen Lagna

Saturn, being lord of the 11th and 12th houses, is considered to be an inauspicious planet for this Ascendant. We are, however, of the view that if as lord of the 11th, Saturn is in the Ascendant (where he causes Rajayoga) 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th and 11th (in his own sign), blue sapphire can be worn in the major period of Saturn for financial gains. We would, however, advise that the natives of this Ascendant should wear blue sapphire in the major period of Saturn only when he is in 11th in his own sign or in the Ascendant.

Blue sapphire should be worn in a ring of steel in the middle finger of the right hand on the afternoon (before Sunset) of a Shukla Paksha Saturday after performing the usual rituals. Blue sapphire should be at least of 4 carats.

Important-

Blue sapphire should not be worn along with ruby, pearl, red coral or yellow sapphire.

Diamond:Gemstone of Venus-Shukra

Diamond is the gemstone of Venus. If Venus as lord of auspicious houses is well placed in a nativity, wearing of a diamond will enhance the good effects. If Venus is afflicted in anyway, wearing of diamond will neutralize the consequent evil effects and provide protection to the native.

For the Aries Ascendant-Mesha Lagna

Venus being lord of the 2nd and 7th houses, is a strong maraka (killer). Besides this, Venus and Mars-the lord of this Ascendant, are not friends. Still if Venus in any nativity be in his own sign or be exalted or otherwise well placed, the wearing of diamond will ensure gains of wealth, happy relations in the family, marital happiness and acquisition of conveyances. But as pointed above, Venus is a strong maraka for this Ascendant, persons whose birth charts do not indicate long life, should avoid wearing diamond.

For the Taurus Ascendant-Vrisha Lagna

Venus is lord of the Ascendant and the 6th house. His lordship of the Ascendant will prevail over the lordship of the 6th.

This will enable them to enjoy good health, their longevity will be prolonged and all obstacles will disappear from their path, If diamond is worn along with emerald, the gemstone of Mercury who is lord of the 2nd and 5th and a friend of Venus, the persons concerned will get abundant gains of wealth and good fortune. The quantum of beneficial results will be more pronounced in the major period of Venus.

For the Gemini Ascendant-Mithun Lagna

Venus is lord of 5th (a trine) and 12th. The Lordship of a trine makes Venus an auspicious planet for this Ascendant. Moreover, Mercury the lord of the Ascendant is a friend of Venus. Therefore diamond, if worn in the major period of Venus, will bestow happiness in regard to children, intelligence, name and fame, good fortune, gains of wealth and success in competitive ventures. Here again the results will be more marked and beneficial if diamond is worn along with emerald, the gemstone of the lord of this Ascendant.

For the Cancer Ascendant-Kark Lagna

Venus is lord of the 4th and 11th houses. According to Parashari principles, Venus is not considered to be an auspicious planet for this Ascendant. Apart from this, Moon, the lord of this Ascendant, is an enemy of Venus. Still we are of the view that the 4th and 11 th houses of a birth chart are not inauspicious houses. Therefore, if diamond is worn in the major period of Venus gains of wealth, success in education, domestic happiness and comforts of house, land and conveyances; may be expected.

For the Leo Ascendant-Sinha Lagna

Venus being the lord of 3rd and 10th houses, is not considered to be an auspicious planet. We are of the view that if Venus, as lord of the 10th, is in the Ascendant, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th (in his own sign causing Amala and Malavya Yogas-too wealth and name and fame giving yogas) or 11th, wearing of diamond in the major period of Venus will promote the professional career of the native. He will have abundant gains of wealth and will be honored and recognized.

For the Virgo Ascendant-Kanya Lagna

Venus is lord of the 2nd and 9th (a trine) house and is almost a yogakaraka. Therefore, by wearing a diamond the native will become wealthy and his learning and good fortune will enable him to achieve success in all his ventures. Wearing diamond with emerald, the gemstone of Mercury, the lord of this Ascendant will prove even more beneficial to the native.

For the Libra Ascendant-Tula Lagna

Venus is lord of the Ascendant and the 8th. His lordship of the Ascendant will prevail over the lordship of the 8th. The natives of this Ascendant can and should wear diamond as a protective charm for the whole of their life. Wearing of diamond will bestow good health, long life, name and fame, success in ventures and gains of wealth to the native, It is a ‘must’ for the natives of this Ascendant in the major period of Venus.

For the Scorpio Ascendant-Vrishchika Lagna

Venus is lord of the 7th and 12th. Therefore, It will normally not be advisable for the natives of this Ascendant to wear diamond.

For the Sagittarius Ascendant-Dhanu Lagna

Venus being lord of the 6th and 11th houses, is not considered to be an auspicious planet for this Ascendant. Further, Venus is an enemy of Jupiter, the lord of this Ascendant. Still if as lord of 11th Venus, is in the Ascendant, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th (in his own sign), 7th, 9th, or 11th (in his own sign) wearing of diamond in the major period of Venus will bring abundant financial gains.

For the Capricorn Ascendant-Makar Lagna

Venus being lord of the 5th (a trine) and 10^th (a quadrant) houses, is a yogakaraka planet.

For the Aquarius Ascendant-Kumbh Lagna

This Ascendant also Venus is a yogakaraka on account of his lordship of the 4th (a quadrant) and 9th (a trine) houses. Therefore, the natives of these two Ascendants will gain in every way by wearing a diamond. The wearing of a diamond is a ‘must’ for the natives of these Ascendants in the major period of Venus. The good results will be significantly enhanced if diamond is worn along with blue sapphire.

For the Pisces Ascendant-Meen Lagna

Venus being lord of the 3rd and 8th is a very inauspicious planet. Venus is also enemy of the lord of this Ascendant. We would, therefore, not advise the natives of this Ascendant to wear diamond.

Diamond should be worn in a platinum, with gold or silver ring in the little finger of the right hand on the morning of a Shukla Paksha Friday after performing the usual rituals. Diamond is a very costly gem. Therefore, it is not possible to fix any minimum weight for it but we are of the view that it should be of at least 1 1/2carats.

Important-

Diamond should not be worn along with ruby, pearl and red coral.

For the Gemini Ascendant – Mithun Lagna
Jupiter is lord of the 7th and 10th (both quadrants) houses. He, therefore, suffers from Kendra-adhipati Dosha and is also a maraka. However, if as lord of 10th, he is in the Ascendant, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 10th, (in his own house causing Hamsa Yoga) or 9th and 11th, yellow sapphire can be worn with advantage in the major period of Jupiter. But persons of this nativity who are seriously ill, or are in their old age, or their horoscopes indicate a short span of life should not wear yellow sapphire, as Jupiter is a strong maraka for this Ascendant. If yellow sapphire is worn when the lord of the 10th is in his own sign, the native will have unprecedented success in his professional career and will receive honours and recognition from government.

Therefore, it would not be advisable to wear yellow sapphire for the natives of this Ascendant who are seriously ill, are in their old age or are those in whose birth chart long life is not indicated.

For the Libra Ascendant  – Tula Lagna
Jupiter is lord of the 3rd and the 6th – two inauspicious houses. According to the principles of Hindu Astrology, Jupiter is not, therefore, considered to be an auspicious planet for this Ascendant. Besides these facts, Venus, lord of this Ascendant, is an enemy of Jupiter. In these circumstances it would normally not be advisable for the natives of this Ascendant to wear a yellow sapphire.

For the Scorpio Ascendant – Vrishchika Lagna
Jupiter is lord of the 2nd and 5th (a trine) houses and is, therefore, a beneficial planet for this Ascendant. Besides this, Jupiter and Mars (the lord of the Ascendant) are mutual friends. Therefore, wearing of yellow sapphire will prove very beneficial to the natives of this Ascendant, particularly in the major  period of Jupiter.  Jupiter, if made strong, will give gains of wealth, happiness in regard to children, name and fame,  good fortune etc. to  the natives of this Ascendant.

For the Capricorn Ascendant  – Makar Lagna
Jupiter is lord of the 3rd and 12th houses-both inauspicious. ‘Uttam kalamrit’ is however, of the view that inspite of being lord of the 3rd and 12th. Jupiter is a yoga giving planet for this Ascendant. We do not really agree with this view as this is against the Parashari principles. We would, therefore, recommend that the natives of this Ascendant should wear yellow sapphire, if  necessary, only in the major period of Jupiter if he is in his own sign in the 3rd or 12th.

For the Aquarius Ascendant  – Kumbh Lagna
Jupiter is lord of the 2nd and 12th houses, both wealth giving houses. However Saturn lord of this Ascendant, is not a friend of Jupiter. Still yellow sapphire can be worn in the major period of Jupiter and the native would get happiness from children,  gains of wealth, success in the educational sphere.
