Gems of Saturn (Shani-deva)

[Guest guest]

SATURN (Shani)

 

Saturn is a powerful planet whose position in one's horoscope strongly

influences one's work and employment, as well as obstacles one must

overcome in order to succeed in one's chosen field. Saturn is

associated with the color blue, darkness, obstinacy, gambling, and

chronic diseases. It governs aging and death, yoga practice, foreign

travel, hunters and thieves. While malevolent by nature, when properly

placed or balanced Saturn can also induce great virtues, such as

compassion, charity, longevity, meditative insight, and positive public

influence.

 

When Saturn is exalted one will be long-lived, charitable, lavish,

proficient and an affectionate mate. But if Saturn is weak in a

person's horoscope, one becomes vulnerable to headaches, neuralgia, and

other disorders of the nervous system, as well as epilepsy, stupidity,

and fainting. VIOLET is the cosmic color transmitted by blue sapphires

and other natural blue to violet gems. Violet color waves are related

to Saturn, the planet which governs suffering and poverty. Saturn also

rules the entire nervous system. Therefore, most diseases of the

nerves, such as neuroses and nervous tension may be caused by an

afflicted Saturn. Saturn being the slowest planet also causes diseases

of a chronic nature and can cause delays if ill-disposed. Saturn Astral

Talismans are known to help strengthen a person's nervous system. They

also repel envy from others, avert demoniac influences, provide

protection against dangers during travel, make one more serious and

far-sighted, and induce mental tranquility.

 

Saturn transmits its cosmic energy through blue sapphires, blue

spinels, tanzanite, indicolite, iolite, amethyst and other natural blue

to violet gems with transparent clarity. Only flawless gems possess the

capacity to properly transmit positive astral energy from Saturn.

 

Influence of Blue Sapphire / indicolite (blue tourmaline)

 

If Saturn is well placed in tyour horoscope:

The influence will be toward discipline, responsibility, realism,

durability, and humility. One will be long-lived, charitable,

proficient, and an affectionate mate.

 

If Saturn is ill placed in your horoscope:

The influence will be toward depression, anxiety, fear, loneliness, and

disappointment. One becomes vulnerable to headaches, neuralgia, and

other disorders of the nervous system.

 

NOTE: As Saturn is incompatible with Sun, Moon and Mars, Saturn gems

such as blue sapphire should not be used with ruby, pearl or red coral.

Specifically designed talismans like the Navaratna (nine gems setting)

are an exception to this principle.

 

The particular hue or type of blue color recommended for each

social-religious-economic station of society are listed as follows:

 

1) Religious practitioners, scientists, educators and women should use

light blue;

 

2) Soldiers, administrators, leaders and bureaucrats should use violet

blue;

 

3) Farmers, bankers and traders should use greenish blue;

 

4) Servants, laborers and workers should use gray to black blue.
