What is the purpose of wearing a gemstone in Vedic astrology?
Published 11 September 2026
Gemstones are believed to channel the specific planetary energy of the stone's associated planet directly to the wearer. The idea is that a stone can strengthen a weak or beneficial planet, or soften the harsher effects of an afflicted one, by acting as a continuous, physical conduit for that planet's vibration. This is why gemstone recommendations are always tied back to a planet's role and condition in a specific chart rather than treated as generic jewelry.
