Science of Planetary Gemology

The Science of Planetary Gemology is one that has been used in

accordance with astrology for thousands of years. It is the science of

understanding how gemstones transmit and reflect planetary rays, and how

they will increase planetary influences in a person's life.

 

Different gemstones are said to receive their potencies from the cosmic

energies of various planets. Vedic astrology and the Ayurvedic system of

medicine tell us that certain planets can have effects on bodily organs

and parts of the body. The planets are also said to have effects on our

minds and subtle parts of our consciousness. In addition, their specific

positions in the horoscope indicate (to a duly qualified practitioner of

this great science) the path of destiny.

 

There is a school of thought wherein some astrologers posit that wearing

a gem for a planet which causes suffering due to unfortunate positioning

at the time of a person's birth will `propitiate' that

planet or cause it to give less trouble. Extensive experience in this

field, however, has proven this idea to be a misconception. Gems never

`decrease' a planet's energy or its cosmic rays. Therefore

the recommendation of any gem must be given a great deal of concentrated

thought by the astrologer in order to determine whether a gemstone will

truly have a positive effect on someone. Mistakes can be costly if

malefic cosmic rays are unintentionally increased. Therefore it is only

sensible that a conscientious astrologer who recommends gems to his or

her clients will carefully study the science of planetary gemology in

order to correctly prescribe gems.

 

This is not a science that can be used only by Vedic astrologers.

Western astrologers can also learn planetary gemology in order to give

viable remedial measures to their clients for mitigating or lessening

malefic influences and increasing benefic influences. This is achieved

by strengthening planets that can counteract certain rays that are

causing problems, or by strengthening planets that rule positive areas

of life but are simply weakened due to their placement in the horoscope.

 

The "sidereal" zodiac must be used by an astrologer, east or west, for

diagnosing a horoscope to prescribe gems. This system is based on the

fixed positions of stars and constellations, not the relativity to earth

and sun as is the "tropical" zodiac. Gemstone therapy may not be applied

to the tropical positions or great mistakes will be made in

recommendations. Gem therapy is a powerful tool and remedial measure. In

some instances wearing the wrong gem can cause serious physical and/or

mental problems. Indeed, gemstone recommendations should only be

accepted from a duly qualified Vedic astrologer, planetary gemologist,

or ayurvedic practitioner well versed in this science.
