Gems of Ketu by Richard Shaw Brown

[Guest guest]

KETU (The " South Node " of the Moon)

 

Ketu is a mysterious planetary influence which, like Rahu, is

malevolent and afflictive unless located in a powerful position or

conjoined with a beneficent planet. Ketu governs theology, monastic

life, crime and punishment, hidden enemies and dangers, and the occult.

Unless correctly balanced, Ketu can cause poverty and other

obstructions in one's life. Ketu is associated with suffering and the

consequent aspiration for spiritual liberation.

 

If Ketu is exalted one will be and wealthy and protected from evil. But

if Ketu appears in a weak or harmful position in one's horoscope, one

becomes prone to fatal diseases of a mysterious nature as well as

compulsive gambling. INFRA-RED is the cosmic color said to be

transmitted by cat's eye gems. Infra-red color waves are the hottest of

all the cosmic rays and are known to be useful in many chronic and

terminal illness such as cancer and all forms of paralysis. Infra-red

color also aids digestive problems and skin diseases. Ketu astral

talismans can also enhance psychic powers, confer protection from

hidden enemies, and avert dangers such as drowning, intoxication, and

criminal punishment. Ketu is also said to bring good luck to gamblers

(if well-placed).

 

GEMSTONES ruled by Ketu include Cat's eye chrysoberyl, beryl,

apatite,tourmaline and other yellow to greenish-brown gems which

display a strong chatoyant " cat's eye " light reflection on the surface

and often within the crystal when cabochon cut. These gems should also

possess a high degree of transparency in order to properly transmit

beneficial Ketu energy.

 

Influence of Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye / fibrolite cat's eye

 

If Ketu is well placed in your horoscope:

The influence will be toward spiritualism, intuition, universality,

subtleness, and sensitivity. One will be wealthy and protected from

evil.

 

If Ketu is ill placed in your horoscope:

The influence will be toward eccentricity, explosiveness, fanaticism,

and emotional problems. One becomes prone to compulsive gambling and

fatal diseases such as cancer.

 

NOTE: As Ketu is incompatible with Sun and Moon, cat's eye gems should

not be used with rubies or pearls. Specifically designed talismans like

the Navaratna (nine gems setting) are an exception to this practice.

 

The particular hue or type of cat's eye color recommended for each

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

 

1) Religious practitioners, scientists and educators should use honey

yellow;

 

2) Soldiers, administrators and bureaucrats should use honey brown;

 

3) Farmers, bankers and traders should use honey green;

 

4) Servants, laborers and workers should use dark green.
