Gemstones and Fingers

Gemstones are worn mostly, set in rings on the fingers. There is a great deal of confusion on the subject of choosing a particular finger for wearing gemstones. This confusion is further confounded by many theories floating around. Before you choose the right finger for wearing your ring studded with gemstones, it would be better to have some basic ideas. Some of these are jotted down below:
1. Every gemstone is ruled by one of the nine planets on the basis of the cosmic energy generated by it. This energy or vibration as generally known is in consonance with the ruling planet’s own cosmic rays. For example the cosmic energy of Ruby is reddish in colour, giving vital strength and potency, which moves in tangent with the Sun whose spectrum of visible and non-visible rays, includes the red colour rays. The Major gemstones and their ruling planets are listed below:
Ruby - The Sun
Pearl - The Moon
Red coral - Mars
Emerald - Mercury
Yellow Sapphire - Jupiter
Diamond - Venus
Blue Sapphire - Saturn
Hessonite - Rahu (north node of the Moon)
Cat’s eye - Ketu (south node of the Moon)

2. Each planet relates to one of the five elements:
The Sun - Fire
The Moon - Water
Mars - Fire
Mercury - Earth
Jupiter - Ether/Space
Venus - Water
Saturn - Air
Rahu and Ketu are assigned the element of Air.

3. Planets are also divided into two major categories by their nature: Solar and Lunar. Solar Planets are: The Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu & Ketu. Lunar Planets are: The Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus.

4. Each finger relates to one of the five elements:
Thumb - Fire
Index - Ether/Space
Middle - Air
Ring - Water
Small - Earth

5. Your hands are also classified into two major types: Solar and Lunar. Solar hand is your right one that gives out energy. Lunar hand is your left one that receives in energy. Conventionally, gemstones related to solar planets are worn on the left hand and the gemstones associated with lunar planets are worn on the right hand. This is done to facilitate the balance of energy flow to and fro your body.

6. Since thumb is not useful for wearing any rings, we have to do with only four fingers. In that case only few planets would be accommodated. Therefore, we supplement the use by looking at the concept of Mounts as indicated in Palmistry and the concept of Association of Planets.

7. The following Mounts and their respective location in the hand need to be considered:
Ø Jupiter - At the base of the Index finger
Ø Saturn - At the base of the middle finger
Ø The Sun (Apollo) At the base of the ring finger
Ø Mercury - At the base of the small finger
Ø Progressive Mars- Below the mount of Jupiter, in between index and thumb fingers and just above the Mount of Venus
Ø Regressive Mars- Below the mount of Mercury, in between Mounts of Mercury and the Moon
Ø Venus - On the right side of your palm , below the phalanx of thumb, extending up to your wrist
Ø The Moon - On the left side of your palm , below the Mount of regressive Mars, extending up to your wrist
No mounts are assigned for Rahu & Ketu

8. The concept of Association of Planets, chiefly gives out the following:
ü The Sun and Mars go together
ü Mercury and Venus are friends of Saturn
ü Rahu acts like Saturn whereas Ketu behaves as second Mars
ü The Moon has no enmity with any planets
Taking into consideration of the above it is easy to chart the gemstones and the related fingers. I recommend an easy guide. Whenever you wish to wear a particular gemstone recommended for a planet this table would help you to choose the right finger.

Gems for Erectile Dysfunction

In today’s frenzied and fast-moving world, most of you tend to neglect your personal and private problems. Where these problems border on sensitivity, you would most often, sweep these under the carpet. Yet these problems need solutions too. One such problem is Erectile Dysfunction(ED), a disorder related to your sexuality
ED Explained
ED is a condition, where an adult male cannot maintain hard erection, on a continuous basis to enable him to enjoy sexual happiness. ED is interchangeably used with “Male Impotence”. Whereas ED is one such feature of male impotence, the latter consists of many features among others, loss of libido, prolonged and imposed celibacy, castration or damage to the penis.
Most men experience ED in some spells in some stage of their adult life. When this feature becomes frequent or permanent then it becomes a malady. ED arises when you suffer from infrequent erection or erection lasting for few moments or not erecting at all. Though reliable statistics of ED are not available due to the personal & sensitive nature of the subject, it can be surmised that globally, 5 to 10 % of the adults between the age of 20 to 40 years of age and 10 to 20 % of those in the age group of 40 to 60 and 20 to 40 % of those above 60 years of age suffer from ED.
Its impact on the health as well as psychology of men is very damaging. In health wise men suffer as they are unable to give vent to their sexual feelings in a proper manner. If the sexual energy does not get an avenue to be flown out, it stays inside; excessive energy creates havoc in the normal function of a body. Most damage occurs in the psycho-side. You feel completely beaten; your partner (if any) feels disappointed and sometimes shows anger and antipathy towards you and finally the loss of so-called manliness in you boomerang on your social and career life as well.
Yet ED is a treatable disorder in the medico-psychological field. A trained Urologist, Sexologist or Psychologist after examining you would be able to diagnose the disorder and determine the probable cause. The cause may be physiological, psychological or due to some other factors. Recommended therapy consists of a gamut of items including drugs, supplements, injections, psycho pep-up or insertion of silicon rod in the body. Some of these may have side effect too. Of late, there is yet another solution. This involves the use of Gems and Crystals to go along with the medico-psycho- therapy.
Gems & Crystals
Once the probable cause for ED is determined you can use Gems and Crystals to assist you in getting over this nagging problem. I have listed some of the main causes and the related treatment. This is not an exhaustive list, however.
Physiological
Reduced blood flow to Penis- Red coral/Carnelian( Red)/Rhodochrosite
Ineffective sex glands - Diamond/White sapphire/Fire opal
General Impotence - Sodalite/Rhodonite/Topaz/Rutilated quartz, Carnelian(Orange)
Lack of Sex Drive - Lapis lazuli/Ruby zoisite/Red garnet(Pyrope)
Stress-related - Blue lace agate
Unable to hold-up ejaculation - Amazonite
Excess heat in the body
leading to quick release of semen - Amber/Moonstone specially blue or green tone
Alternate erected & flaccid penis - Chyrysocolla
To prolong erection - Red jasper/ Aventurine
Diabetes Mellitus - White coral/White topaz/Diamond plus
Red jasper/Rose quartz
Nervousness - Blue sapphire Plus Jasper/Green Tourmaline(Verdalite)/ Chrome tourmaline/Peridot
Urological issue - Aventurine( Peach)
Bladder - Red coral/Red Jasper
Prostate - Obsidian/Sardonyx
Pituitary gland - Ruby/Red Tourmaline(Rubellite)
Hyper-tension - Morganite/Pearl/Peridot
Brain Injury - Turquoise/Malachite/Rose quartz
Parkinson’s disease - Malachite/Obsidian
Loss of semen
through urine - Pearl ( specially yellow and red tinge)
Psychological
Lack of self –confidence - Lodestar/Kunzite/Citrine
Mental instability - Sunstone/Ruby/Opal/Rhodochrosite
Negative attitude
towards sex - Rose quartz/Smoky quartz/Red garnet(Pyrope), Rose garnet(Rhodolite)/Orange garnet(Hessonite)
Sexual Depression - Dark opal/Green tourmaline(Verdalite) / Watermelon tourmaline
Others
Ambient issue - Fire agate/Eye agate/Garnet
Before using these gems and crystals you might also like to have a look at your astro- chart and Occult frame.
Astro Chart
The following are some of the combinations that lead to ED:
1. The 7th house of a chart signifies Penis. Planets occupying the 7th house, the position of the lord of the 7th and the position of Venus influence how a penis functions. A weak Venus leads to ED and Saturn occupying 7th house and aspected by malefics would aggravate your ED.
2. The 8th house signifies the sexual act. The sequence of events starting from erection, union or other act and finally the release of semen are controlled by Mars whereas the sensation and production of semen is handled by Venus. Mars and Venus together control the sexual glands ; they together over-see that the semen flows-out. Mars has the blood and Venus has the semen in their possession. So if your 8th house is occupied or aspected by malefic such as Saturn and Rahu ( Moon’s north node) you would suffer from ED very much.
3. In addition to Mars and Venus, Sun and Moon also contribute to ED. The Sun and Venus are general significators of sexuality for men. A weak Sun in the houses 5, 7 and 9 or the Signs 5th, 7th and 9th away from where the Sun is posited would contribute to your ED.
4. Finally, the Moon herself has an oversight in this matter. Moon in Libra conjoined with an afflicted Sun leads to sexual debilitation whereas a strong Sun means over-indulgence in sex. The Moon in the Scorpio sign generally indicates the level of sexual power you can command. A weak Moon in the Scorpio sign or in Cancer makes you enjoy sex mentally rather than physically. In this case you might be able to masturbate while in the bed sensationalizing or dreaming of sex rather than going for a hard erection.
Now let me connect you to the Occult Frame as well.
Occult Frame
In order to tide over ED concentrate on the following;
1. Light an Orange colour candle in your bed room. This makes you warm-up, get the vigour. It gets your blood and sensation moving in a tango. Orange colour balances male and female energy that resides inside your body frame; it makes you to jump into bandwagon, get out of your guilty complex and just make you do the erection with ease
2. Check and see whether you are using gold metal. In the case of men who suffer ED continuously it would be better to use copper instead of gold
3. Check your Energy Centres known as Chakras. For the sex act Base (Muladhara), Sacral (Swadishtna) and Throat(Visudhha) Chakras are necessary . If one or more of these Chakras have deficient expression then you have to balance or improve these. You can do so by initially concentrating on the Chakra that you have the biggest hurdle and follow through to others. You can choose the right food, exercise, colour and aroma to vitalize the Chakra. Gems and Crystals recommended above are also useful
4. Finally, look at yourself. Is something other than physical, psychological or other mundane matters affecting you. If so find out what is this. It may be just the ambience or something extra-ordinary being is just blocking you having a hard erection.

Gems for Pregnancy

Procreation is a major function of a woman. Her capacity for child-bearing is shown in her natal astrological chart in the 5th house. If the lord of the 5th house is strong, then the pregnancy is smoother. A strong 5th house and its lord make conception, nurturing and delivery of a baby easier and enjoyable. On the other hand, if the lord is weak or conjoined with malefic planets or in an enemy house or the house itself is aspected by malefics then the pregnancy is beset with difficulties. Since the planet Jupiter is the significator ( Karaka) for child-birth, we also look at the 5th house away from the house in which Jupiter is posited and evaluate both these to find out about any probable issues related to pregnancy. In addition, we l examine the 7th house dealing with Uterus and Ovaries and 8th house dealing with the female organ to ascertain the progress of pregnancy.
In terms of Planets, Jupiter along with Moon matters most in child birth. Jupiter is the significator and its position overall in the chart is a general indicator of the well-being of the mother and the child. A weak Jupiter can be strengthened by wearing the recommended gems and crystals. A malefic Jupiter can be offset by strengthening the Moon. So we come to the Moon which affects women very much in terms of fertility, re-production function , uterus , ovaries and so forth. We examine the Moon’s position firstly in the natal chart and thereafter in the Asterism ( Nakshthra).
If the moon is posited in the Natal chart in any watery signs ( Rashis) of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces pregnancy is smoother and child-birth is easier. On the other hand if it is posited in the fire Rashis of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius Pregnancy can become harder. Likewise if the Moon’s asterism in the natal position in Bharani, Aridhra, Swati, Jyetha, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Dhanistha and Sattabisha pregnancy could turn out to be painful as these asterism bring about disorders of Uterus, more so in the case of Purvashada and Utarashada where womb troubles are also foreshown. Other asterism do not cause that much of troubles.
To offset these issues and for general management of pregnancy the following gems and crystals are recommended:
Jovian ( Jupiter) Gems generally assist in the child bearing phase. Yellow Sapphire ( crystallized alumina) tops the list. However, the price of Yellow being exorbitant, substitutes are also recommended. Topaz ( aluminium fluorosilicate) or Citrine ( silicon dioxide) or Heliodor ( beryllium aluminium silicate ) could be used. Whereas Yellow and Topaz could be worn as rings, Citrine and Heliodor are better used in throat chain.
For those natives for whom Jupiter is malefic ( Neecha) or those whose Ascendant ( Lagna ) falls in the Rashis of Taurus, Gemini, Virgo , Libra, Capricornus and Aquarius they should opt for Pearls ( calcium carbonate). White to yellow lustre pearls in a set of 1, 3 or 5 could be worn as necklace.
If the expecting mother is weak, then she should use Rose Quartz ( silicon dioxide) along with either of Hematite ( iron oxide ) or Carnelian ( Silicon dioxide) . All these crystals would give the necessary energy and courage to go through the pregnancy. These are better worn as pendants , bracelets or if necessary as waist chains.
In case the expecting mother experience heightened pains and other difficulties in connection with the pregnancy, she must use Moldavite ( silica based Tektite) along with Malachite ( copper carbonate hydroxide) in the early phase of pregnancy. Otherwise, she can use these crystals towards advanced phase of pregnancy. There is a caveat: Malachite must be removed no sooner she recovers and be used once again on approaching labour. Both these crystals are energy givers and pain relievers. Moldavite is dubbed as “ energy bunny” as this crystal gives power not only to the wearer but to other crystals she wear that are not exposed to sunlight. Please note that all crystals need re-charging like batteries and the charging is generally by sunlight. Malachite is dubbed as “ Midwife’s Stone “ for its curative capacity. It nurtures the baby in the mother’s womb and assist in her labour.
The last one in the list is the emergency stone of Lapis Lazuli ( microcrystalline rock consisting of an array of minerals Lazurite, Hauynite, Sodalite, Noselite, Calcite and Pyrite) . This sub-stone ( Uparatne ) was called as Larvat and one of the 84 stones mentioned in Puranas. This stone alleviates unbearable pain at the time of labour, before and after delivery of baby. Keep Lapis as a touch stone or wrap it in a soft white cloth and tie it between breast and the stomach of the expecting mother. For better results charge Lapis exposing it to sunlight moderately.
