Dear members,

 

I have some genuine questions regarding gemstones. While I admit my

reasons for asking them are purely personal, I get so many different

gemstone recommendations from practicing astrologers that I think

clear answers to these questions would greatly help a lot of people,

so please do take time out to reply if you have an experienced

opinion:

1) First, is gemstone use sanctioned by the classics (Parasara,

Jaimini etc)?

2) Second, assuming you give me some sort of positive answer to the

first question: Does a gemstone (a) Increase the *strength* of the

planet in question or (b) Does it increase the *effects* of the

planet in question. A simple example that illustrates the difference

is: Say you have a debilitated planet. Would wearing a gem for the

planet strengthen it so that effects of its debilitation do not show,

OR, would wearing a gem for the planet accentuate the manifestation

of its debilitation in your life? If you say " (a) " , then the right

approach to choosing gemstones should be to wear stones to strengthen

weak functional benefics in a chart, no? However, if you say " (b) " ,

then the right approach should be to wear stones of strong functional

benefics to counteract the effects of weak or functional malefics,

no? What is the truth and why? I have over the years received several

contradictory recommendations based I feel on whether the astrologer

thought along the lines of " (a) " or " (b) " .

3)Thirdly, is functional beneficence (if thats a word) the key

quality to enhance or is natural beneficence also worth enhancing?

For example, would you ever enhance a natural benefic if it was also

a functional malefic, or would its functional maleficence always be

an overriding factor in preventing such a recommendation?

4) Fourthly, how do gemstones affect chara karaktwa? This is one

question in which I get a blank stare from most practicing

astrologers, but I have heard here or elsewhere that, for e.g. you

shouldnt were stones for the Atmakaraka. Is this generally true, even

when the AK is a functional benefic?

5) Fifthly, a very specific question: it seems to be a fairly common

recommendation that yellow sapphire or pearl be worn only during the

period of a waxing moon. Is this correct, and does the waxing moon

start from sukla panchami or is it anytime after the new moon?

 

Thank you very much in advance,

 

Sundeep
