Best Gemstone for Your Ruling Planet — Vedic Astrology Buying Guide
Best Gemstone for Your Ruling Planet
A Vedic astrology buying guide
In Vedic astrology, each planet (graha) is traditionally associated with specific gemstones believed to strengthen its positive influence. Here's a starting-point guide by ruling planet.
By planet
Surya (Sun)
Tiger Eye
Chandra (Moon)
Moonstone
Mangal (Mars)
Red Jasper
Budha (Mercury)
Green Aventurine
Guru (Jupiter)
Amethyst
Shukra (Venus)
Rose Quartz
Shani (Saturn)
Black Tourmaline
Rahu / Ketu — traditionally addressed with Cat's Eye or Hessonite for specific dosha remedies. Best discussed with an astrologer before buying, since these are chart-specific.
Not sure which planet is strong or weak in your chart?
This guide is a general starting point, not a substitute for a proper kundli reading. If you know your birth details, an astrologer can identify which planetary energy genuinely needs support — a more precise approach than picking by sun sign alone.
