Brown, GIA, PG After a lot of interaction with different members of the PGA we have identified TEN GEM CHOOSING METHODS AS PRIMARY: 1. Lagna Lord's gem method: For improving health (Example: If Lagna is Leo, a sign ruled by Sun, the gem would be ruby or other Sun gems like red spinel or red garnet), ---Yes if the planet is located in a 'good' (strong) position, otherwise not. ---Yes even if the planet is located in a 'bad' (weak) position. 2. Moon Rasi Lord's gem method: (Example: If Moon is in Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury, then the gem would be emerald or another Mercury gem like tsavorite or green tourmaline); ---Yes if the planet is located in a 'good' position, otherwise not. ---Yes even if the planet is located in a 'bad' position. 3. Maha-Dasha Lord's gem method: For ... a. Overcoming bad Dasha periods, or b. Boosting good Dasha periods (Example: If one is in a Mars Mahadasha or Bhukti then red coral or another Mars gem like red carnelian should be worn), ---Yes if the planet is located in a 'good' position, otherwise not. ---Yes even if the planet is located in a 'bad' position. 4. Weak Planet's gem method: For overcoming a weak planet based on the concept that a 'weak' (inauspicious) planet is strengthened by wearing it's gem and there by it changes from being inauspicious (weak) to become auspicious (strong). Example: A person has Jupiter debilitated (0% power) which is inauspicious, but by wearing yellow sapphire or another yellow Jupiter jewel, it is believed that the 'weak' (troublesome) Jupiter gets strengthened and becomes auspicious. 5. Strong Planet's gem method: For resorting to one's strong auspicious planet(s) (exalted, mulatrikona, own sign, great friend, etc.) based on the concept that lucky planet = luck gem! One should avoid their 'weakness and cultivate their strength. Most auspicious gem of strongest most desirable planet. Example: One has Leo Lagna and their Lagna-lord is Sun, who is exalted (100% strength) and posited in the 9 th house which is all very auspicious. That person would be advised to use a fine ruby, the Sun's gem, to attract or harness his auspicious influence. On the other hand if the same person had Saturn debilitated (0% strength) and in the 8 th house they would be advised to avoid Saturn's gem blue sapphire and all other Saturnine things or activities. And better still they could donate a blue sapphire to pacify Shanideva. 6) Fadic number gem method: Use a gem for the planet associated with one's Fadic number for general luck. (Example: If birth date is 1+13+1966 (1+1+3+1+9+6+6) equals T: 27 (2+7) = T: 9 = cosmic number for Mars (red coral). Fadic Number/Planet/Gem List: -1 is Sun - ruby -2 is Moon - pearl (natural, not cultured) -3 is Jupiter - yellow sapphire -4 is Rahu - hessonite -5 is Mercury - emerald -6 is Venus - diamond -7 is Ketu – cat's eye -8 is Saturn – blue sapphire -9 is Mars – red coral 7. Gem of 11th lord method: Eleventh lord's gem is to be worn for gains: ---Yes if the 11th Lord (planet) is located in a 'good' position, otherwise not. ---Yes even if the 11th Lord (planet) is located in a 'bad' position. 8. Gem of 10th lord method: To strengthen one's profession: ---Yes if the 10th Lord (planet) is located in a 'good' position, otherwise not. ---Yes even if the 10th Lord (planet) is located in a 'bad' position. 9. Gem of 9th lord method: For improving fortune, happiness ---Yes if the 9th Lord (planet) is located in a 'good' position, otherwise not. ---Yes even if the 9th Lord (planet) is located in a 'bad' position. 10. Gem donation method: It is taught that if a person has a very weak and inauspicious planet causing them harm, this harmful influence can be mitigated by pacifying the harmful planet (Graha-deva) through a sacrifice by donating a gem for the harmful planet to a specified recipient. Example: A person who has Rahu posited in a harmful (weak) position and is in a troublesome Rahu Maha-Dasha would be advised to donate a hessonite or another Rahu gem to a leper on Saturday evening during the waxing Moon. The purpose of this research is to help organize Planetary Gemology into a recognized Vedic "science" with many distinct schools of thought and methodology.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Dear Aavesh, This reminds me of my grandfather learning to write (the letters of) alphabet with brick powder on smoothened earth. That was in the village school early last century. I do much of my calculation -- the little I am required to do -- on the slate of mind. Be it fixing the lagna of the moment -- I turn the zodiac with the Sun sign of the day with two-hourly calibration since sunrise or towards sunrise, jug the moon forward from the last remembered position. Or, quickly calculating the upadas by multiplying the yrs of Mahadasa lord and Antardasa lord, then taking the outcome as the number of months of the Antardasa. Or, for that matter ascertaining the Navamsa position the Chara-Sthira-Daatmika way. Computer is a later arrival. The slate of mind was good enough. Or even better. A leap from there (to chidakaas or somewhwere similar) is so much more easy. But what is the thing with this iffy 'yes if' and ...?
