Deeply Incapacitating Planetary Positions and

How to overcome living a compromised life and negative emotions using Gem Therapy and remedial measures!

My initiation into the study of Astrology was because of my Vedic Guru who motivated me to learn this science – the light of knowledge for the precise reason of accurate diagnosis of limiting planetary combinations. It involves correct recommendations of remedial measures to bring in desired positive changes.

Even though after my Vedic diksha, I was initiated into Tantra and Dhyana (Meditation) by my Tantrik Guru, it was my intitation into Jyotish (Astrology) proved to be invaluable.

My Vedic Guru had said ,” Yes, accumulation of Gyana (knowledge) , removal of ego , meditation and mantra Japa (chanting)  is a medicine that will work for anyone but in what time frame and how much suffering could it alleviate –that is suspect?

It was him who later said - Learn Astrology and find out the accurate cause of Karmik suffering and then give an individual medicine. It will work faster, more accurately and bring peace to the tormented soul. Don’t give the same mantra to everybody. Each person’s suffering is unique and so should be the remedy.

Today, I find that lesson invaluable wherein my major interest lies in the diagnostic and the statistical part of Astrology more than the predictive part.

After interacting with so many human lives, I have come to the conclusion that there are some planetary positions that indicate severe negative karma and are typical in their results. The pain caused by these positions is immense and even the person suffering them cannot tangibly explain and quantify the pain.

These planetary conditions cause restriction and lead to severe compromises in the quality of life and other human interactions. They need to be remedied with the correct mix of measures that bring in desirable changes.

Only in these conditions, exceptions to the basic rule of planetary friendship can be made and contradictory gemstones can be worn and that too after analysis of several charts and combinations. One has to be very cautious in the implementation of these remedies.

The top six limiting and incapacitating planetary conditions are:

1) Moon in Scorpio- Living in Illusion- Do I want to live?

Natural-Basra-Pearl-of-1.63-carats-Gemstoneuniverse.com

The sacred text says-Chandrama Manso Jaataha- The moon is the significator of mind and the intellect. This is the position where moon becomes powerless and is debilitated.

A painful combination in the horoscope wherein the effects can be felt every 2 and 3/4 days when moon makes a transit in another sign.  Periods of normalcy followed by acute depression and loss of energy followed by normalcy again and then a period of being extra sensitive, agitated or temperamental!

Half of the life goes in suffering these negative mood cycles and half of the life goes in recovering. What is then left?

Physically it can give common cold, cough, congestion and frequent migraine like headaches.

This is the position that causes one to be restricted and afraid. A lingering feeling of fear stays with the individual. Deep seated traumas eat up the peace. Negative events in life keep coming back like monsters. There is self doubt about one’s ability.

In extreme cases this is the position that gives suicidal tendencies and needs to be rectified as soon as possible. This position makes the individual think that the whole world is against him or her. Lack of correct decision making, lack of sticking to one path and deep pain caused by negative relationships makes the life very painful. I have found that this is the singular position wherein maximum failures creep in remedial measures. Either incorrect remedial are adopted or correct remedial measures are abandoned.

The emotions given by this position are:

- Embarrassment

- Doubt

- Shame

- Disrespect

-Lack of Self worth

- Depression

- Suicidal tendencies in extreme cases

- Inferiority complex

- Easily offended

- Feeling of being unclean due to lack of removal of traumatic events and people in life

- Giving too much importance to the views of the people around them and carrying the negative feedback throughout the life. Feeling of being let down.

- Becoming reclusive as a self defence mechanism to not to get hurt.

- Imbalance in relationships and lack of love.

The moon represents the water element. I have noticed that in 90% of the cases individuals with Moon in Scorpio position drink very less water. One method of bringing in improvement is to increase the intake of drinking water.

Remedies:

- Wearing of a Natural pearl- It is an absolute must in this position and brings in a tangible difference in the quality of life. Even though moon is debilitated, one needs to cure it by wearing a Natural Pearl, especially in the case of suicidal tendencies. However, this should be implemented only after consultation with an expert Astrologer.

- Increase the intake of drinking water.

-Meditate on Lord Shiva and chant the Shiva Panchakshri Mantra: Om Namah Shivay for 108 times daily.

The above remedies will give good results. Individual specific remedies may change due to the combinations made by the moon the chart such as Moon Rahu or Moon Ketu conjunctions.

2) Mars in Cancer- I am in a prison!

Mars is the planet of energy, enthusiasm and vigour. Cancer is the sign of the gentle moon and Mars in this position gets debilitated and powerless. The single result of this planetary position is Claustrophobia. Many of the results indicated by Moon in Scorpio, including suicidal tendencies are observed in this position.

Physically it can give anaemia, frequent headaches, leukoderma, Leucorrhoea and fear psychosis.

Some other negative emotions observed in this position are:

- Feeling of being controlled

-Manipulated

- Fear and Anxiety

- Frequent Guilt trips

- Feeling of being used or misled

- Violated and scared

- Lack of trust

- Confusion

- Feeling of being mocked at, made fun of

- Being overruled, distrusting and cynical

- Imbalance in relationships and lack of love

Remedies:

- Wearing of Organic White coral in the neck as pendant touching the thymus gland area (just above the first rib bone) in Silver.

- Meditation on any form of Shakti specially Durga.

- Charity to Women on Tuesdays.

3) Rahu in Sagittarius or Pisces/

4)Rahu in 1^st house/

5) Rahu dasha in operation- Losing Touch with reality!

Rahu periods are karmik in nature and are very unsettling unless the individual learns the lesson this planet want to teach very fast. These periods are usually accompanied by a sudden desire for fast results, overambitious, pursuit of unrealistic goals. The individual puts in too much expectation and hard work in realization of these and when there is failure there is deep seated frustration. These periods are accompanied by a feeling of abandonment. There is no joy left in life and there is nothing to look forward to. One needs to be very cautious and avoid unrealistic pursuits and get rich quick schemes! There is also feeling of disappointment that due recognition and credit of good work eludes them, despite their best efforts. This is also the time when there is break in relationships due to misunderstandings.

Some of the negative emotions experienced in this position are:

- Deep seated emotional pain and a feeling of being restricted from all sides

- Mania and anxiety

- Living with negative emotions where feelings of bitterness become important for survival

- Living in a make believe world

- Addiction

- Feeling of being lonely and uncared for

- Feeling of being judged

- Falsely accused

-Defensive

-Humiliated

-Labelled.

-Insignificant

-Frightened

- Threatened

Remedies

- Wearing of a Hessonite of Appropriate weight as per the chart, brings in appreciable change.

- Social service especially serving in hospitals or service of handicapped people.

- Worship of the Chandramoulishwara form of Lord Shiva.

- Avoidance of Alcohol and drugs.

- Charity to sweepers on a Saturday.

6) Ketu in 1^st house- I am my biggest enemy?

Natural-Chrysoberyl-Cats-eye-of-2.56-carats.-Gemstoneuniverse.com

In extreme cases it makes the individual very sensitive, aggressive and temperamental. This position also causes hormonal imbalances, loss of touch with reality, perception of spirit and ghost attacks, fear and aggression. On a professional level this position gives instability, frequent challenge like situations with colleagues and seniors, lack of credit for good work and sudden change of job or life path every 15-25 months.  Negative and limiting emotions associated with this planetary position are:

- Anger

-Temperamental

-Rage.

- Deviousness

- Fear of Ghosts, spirits and esoteric phenomena

- Suffocated

-Instability

- Punished

-Attacked

-Pressured

-Forced

-Discouraged

- Over controlled

- Violent

Remedies:

- Wearing of a Cat’s eye of appropriate weight after assessment of planetary position brings in appreciable changes.

- Worship of Lord Ganesh especially on Tuesdays.

- Daily Chant of Lord Ganesh mantra: Om Gangg Ganpataye Namah for 108 times facing east.

In addition to these above remedies one should also look at Chakra Healing with proper kriyas for healing!

These are some of the typical limiting conditions in the chart. I consider the position of Saturn in Aries also a part of this group but it requires a more detailed analysis. One needs to consciously work to overcome these conditions in the horoscope to live an optimized life. A life where one feels loved, appreciated and recognized.

This message from Buddha should be ingrained into your life philosophy if you have been suffering from these conditions to bring in tangible positive difference:

Develop a quiet, even state of mind. When praised by some and condemned by others, free the mind from hate and pride, and gently go your way in peace.

With Blessings, Prayers, Love

How to clean your Astrological Gem ring or pendant!  Days and Method for cleaning the Gemstones. Gemstoneuniverse.com

Recently we received a question from one of our patrons that says:

I was reading Guruji’s article about gemstone therapy and not removing one’s gemstone after wearing it at an auspicious time. I have tried to follow this rule but have one question. After prolonged use, soap scum and lotion residue build up beneath the gemstone in the area where the gemstone touches the finger. Is it alright to remove the gemstone for just a few minutes (occasionally, let’s say once every month) to clean the gemstone and wear it again on the auspicious day for the gemstone?

Also – sometimes the gemstone slips off of the finger by accident for a few seconds – can one put the ring back on immediately after it slips off the finger?

Such questions are received periodically by us, hence this write up:

How to clean your Planetary Gemstone ring

Here is the method that gives good results:

- Clean your gemstone rings and pendant once every month so that scintillation remains and the gemstones provide maximum reflection of light besides looking beautiful.

- Choose the correct day for cleaning. Each Gemstone has its unique day. The list is given below.

- Use a gentle soft solution or a mild detergent as the cleansing solution. Keep away from harsh detergents and Jewelry cleaning solutions.

- If there is not a lot of dirt then simply take the ring till the edge of the finger and use a new cotton ear bud to wipe off the dirt.

- If there is a lot of dirt take a new Toothbrush with Gentle bristles and dip it in the mild soap solution. Take the Gemstone ring till the edge of the finger and clean the below surface. Keep this toothbrush separate as a part of your Gemstone cleaning kit.

- Wash with plain, clean water after clearing the dust and the dead skin if any.

- Push the ring back into its original position.

By using this method in no manner your ring leaves body contact. With a little bit of practice you can do it easily.

Days for cleaning your Gemstones:

Gemstones	Preferred Day of Cleaning the Gemstone
Ruby, Red Garnet, Spinel and all Sun Gemstones	Sunday
Natural Pearl, Blue Sheen Moon and all Moon Gemstones	Monday
Red Coral, Cat’s Eye, Carnelian and all Mars and Ketu Gemstones	Tuesday
Emerald, Peridot, Onyx and all mercury Gemstones	Wednesday
Yellow Sapphire, Yellow Topaz ,Heliodor and all Jupiter Gemstones	Thursday
Diamond, White Sapphire, White Topaz and Venus, clear white quartz Gemstones	Friday
Blue Sapphire, Iolite, Amethyst, Agate ,Hessonite Garnet, Lapis Lazuli and all Saturn and Rahu Gemstone	Saturday

Special Care:

Be very careful when cleaning Organic Gemstones like Red Coral and Natural pearl and also Gemstones that have less hardness like Emerald. Use a mild soap solution, mild detergent solution or solution of your bathing bar. Stay away from harsh detergents and Jewelry cleaning kits.

Putting the Shine Back

Sometimes the lustre and shine of your Red Coral or Emerald may appear less after cleaning. This is quite natural. Just apply a tiny bit of your face cream to the surface and your gemstone regains its glitter and Shine.

Accidental slipping of the ring

Just put it back right away. No effects on the results are noticed.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Are you wearing your Gemstone in the correct hand /the correct finger and some other secrets of sacred planetary Gemology. Gemstoneuniverse.com

There are three things that have motivated me in writing this article.

1) I have received thousands of mails from Gem Lovers and those interested in planetary gemology after I wrote the article Do Gemstones Work – No They Don’t for 90% of the People. I take this opportunity to thank each one of you through this medium for your appreciation, since sending individual mails to each one of you would be quite difficult. Among that multitude of Messages there were several messages that asked questions like I am wearing Hessonite in Middle finger of left hand. Is it correct or should it be the right hand and many others on the same lines. Even though this question sounds innocuous-it isn’t and correct implementation of Gemstone therapy is also dependent on wearing the Gemstone in the correct hand and fingers.

2) A mail message received yesterday from an existing Gemstoneuniverse.com patron that says,

None of the 7 points in the checklist to avoid a failure in gem therapy and get good results from your gem, mentioned certain gems must go with certain fingers. Kindly clarify if the gems could be worn in any finger and still will achieve the beneficial planetary effect.

3) Meeting with an individual who came to consult me yesterday evening and who was wearing a Blue Sapphire in the ring finger of the right hand.

Note: The ring finger represents the Sun which in turn represents the Law. Blue Sapphire is the gemstone of Saturn and is generally worn in the middle finger. Incidentally this Gentleman and his family have been involved in a messy litigation after he started wearing the Blue Sapphire in the ring finger.

In Which Hand should I be wearing my Gemstones?

In Hinduism, Ardhanari or Ardhanarishvara (Sanskrit: अर्धनारीश्वर, Ardhanārīśvara), is an androgynous deity composed of Shiva and his consort Shakti, representing the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies. The Ardhanari form also illustrates how the female principle of God, Shakti, is inseparable from the male principle of God, Shiva. Ardhanari in iconography is depicted as half-male and half-female, split down the middle. The masculine part is the right side and the feminine part is the left side. Full expression of both these halves leads to complete self realization.

In General, all shastras- sacred texts have the unanimous view that Gents should wear the Gemstones in the right hand and Ladies should wear the Gemstones in the left hand. This is the thumb rule that gives good results.

Exceptions, Sure, Yes!

Gents who use the left hand primarily as their working hand, for signing documents etc. should wear the Gemstones in the left hand.

What are the correct fingers for wearing Gemstones?

The planets are clearing marked on one’s palm and have specific and exact positions. Gemstones should be worn in the correct fingers to get good results.

No results are better than bad results( Such as the case of the Gentleman wearing the Blue Sapphire in the ring finger.

Table indicating the correct fingers for wearing Gemstones as per sacred texts.!

The internet is full of copy and paste jobs regarding this. This table below is the definitive guide.

Gemstones	Ruling Planet	Finger
Ruby	Sun	Ring
Natural Pearl	Moon	Little/Ring
Red Coral	Mars	Ring
Emerald	Mercury	Little/Ring( especially if a potent Budh-Aditya Yoga is occurring in the horoscope)
Yellow Sapphire	Jupiter	Index
Diamond/White Sapphire	Venus	Ring
Blue Sapphire	Saturn	Middle
Hessonite	Rahu	Middle/Little in some cases
Cat’s Eye	Ketu	Middle/ Ring in some cases

Exceptions to the above rules

The crowning of sacred planetary Gemology lies in its ability to give tangible results. Certain implementations and Knowledge like wearing a red Coral in the middle finger during challenging Saturn periods or wearing a White coral and Natural Pearl for a debilitated Moon or changing of hand due to exceptional combinations created by retrograde planets or wearing mutually inimical gemstones due to unique planetary positions is very special knowledge capable of creating exceptional breakthroughs and cannot be found in the regular texts. These are transferred from a Guru to a deserving Shishya/ Disciple. Yes, these exceptions exist but only to the tune of 1% and such recommendations are available to the masters.

With Blessings and Prayers,

I remain
