Vedic Astrology | Jyotish

Vedic astrology or Jyotish is the “Science of Light”, an ancient astrological discipline that originated 3,000 years ago during the pre-Vedic civilization. The “Rishis”, the “seers”, the high priests of the Vedas, cognized through transcendental visions, the connection between the celestial bodies of our solar system and the human body. 
 The motion of the planets and their positions in relation to each other, acts upon us throughout our lifetime, just as the lunar phases push and pull the oceans and the seas.

According to the Vedic science of astrology, the planets and all the stars in our universe represent certain energies, and, in fact, do emit magnetic and electric fields. Vedic astrology held that each planet gives out its own, cosmic color, generating a particular energy and influence that propagates throughout the cosmos. The transmission of these colored rays through space, accompanied by the energy-giving properties of heat, magnetism and electricity, have an influence on the life of every living creature.

“Yat Pinde Tat Brahmande”

“We, as microcosm, are just a reflection of the outer macrocosm.”

The nine Jyotish Gemstones and their corresponding planets in Vedic Astrology

Appropriate use of high quality, natural gemstones prescribed in accordance with your Vedic chart, can produce a life changing experience. Vedic astrology opines that karma is not eternal and can be changed. There are several ways to balance or enhance our planetary karma. Its methods include meditation (the greatest balancing method), physical postures (yoga), medicine and food (Ayurveda), wearing of gemstones, color therapy, prayers, rituals, herbs, social living and planning, architecture (Sthapatya Veda). 

Vedic astrology deals with seven visible planets and two “invisible” ones: The SUN, MOON, MARS, MERCURY, JUPITER, VENUS, and SATURN, along with the two lunar nodes, RAHU (ascending lunar node) and KETU (descending lunar node). These nodes are the two intersecting points of the solar and lunar planes as seen from the earth.

Nine, astrological, Jyotish gemstones are associated with these planets. The SUN is associated with the RUBY, the MOON with the PEARL, MARS with the RED CORAL, MERCURY with the EMERALD, JUPITER with the YELLOW SAPPHIRE, VENUS with the DIAMOND, SATURN with the BLUE SAPPHIRE, RAHU with the HESSONITE GARNET, KETU with the CAT’S EYE CHRYSOBERYL.

What is a Jyotish Quality Gemstone?

And what makes a gemstone of Jyotish quality? Becoming an educated consumer when purchasing a gemstone for Jyotish and Vedic Astrology, is not an easy matter. As general rules, look for the best quality you can afford. Simultaneously, choose based on your personal taste of beauty, appeal and intuitive gratification. Auspicity of a Jyotish gem is directly proportional to your realistic, yet intuitive choice.

What determine the value of a gemstone in today’s market, are the “Four Cs”. Its Color, Clarity, Carat weight & Cutting . (Note: We’d like to include fair Cost as the fifth C, but that will be a separate post).

And Treatments or lack thereof, should be added to the list also, as they play a very important role in today’s evaluation of quality and price. As a general rule, untreated gemstones are much rarer and command higher prices. And an effective & auspicious Jyotish gemstone is the one that is completely natural, without any treatment. What does untreated mean?

Clarity: One of the most important factor in a Jyotish gem, the stone should be eye flawless, not visible inclusions to the naked eye. Emeralds are an exception, as they are always included. So, fine high clarity within gem varieties.

Color: People assumes that darker the color, the more expensive and better the stone. That isn’t true: color can be too dark & overly dark, like some “blue” sapphires that look more black than blue. Look for pleasing colors, medium color, or medium-dark and without busting your bank.

Cut: Look for a well cut stone, that has some depth, so that the light reflects back & forth, and shows off scintillation & sparkle. As a general rule, a well cut stone brings more positivity and auspiciousness. Look for a sparkling gemstone, or in the case of pearls and corals for a round, lustrous and clean surface.

Carat Weight: Indian Vedic astrologers always prescribe high carat weight, 5 carats rubies, 7 carats blue sapphires, and so on, without taking into consideration the quality of the stone. The truth is that in India, averagely, the quality of the nine Jyotish gemstone is not Jyotish quality at all. As a general rule, the price increases per carat as we go from smaller to larger stones, since the larger stones are more limited in supply. However, the price does not increase proportionately – there are disproportionate jumps. And the larger the stone (all else being equal in terms of overall quality), the more disproportionate the increase in cost per carat may be. In all, get the higher carat weight that you can afford in higher qualities. Carat weight, at this point in time is a matter of choice.

Sattvic Feel: One of the most natural & indispensable requisites in a Jyotish gemstone, this quality is something that cannot be seen, touched or measured, but felt with your intuition. Sattva in Ayurveda is one of the 3 life forces, and is synonym with purity, wholesomeness, and virtue. Sense the sweet, Sattvic feel in the right Jyotish gemstone.

The Planetary Gems International Co. is the original, trusted source for fine, Jyotish quality gemstones and personalized, one-of-a-kind astrological jewelry at the most competitive and fairest prices for the quality offered.

What is a Vedic, Jyotish Jewel?

A Vedic, Jyotish Jewel is a Planetary Gemstone Talisman, a sacred jewel, charged with auspicious gemstones to drawn positivity, good fortune, Karmic strength, and evolution. 

It is therefore, a precious metal jewel incorporating a Jyotish gemstone. We have seen what a Jyotish gemstone is, in the previous post.

Vedic Jyotish jewels have a main peculiarity that distinguish them from regular jewelry. Either rings or pendants, these amulets are open in the back, so for the lower part of the stone to touch the skin of the wearer. This is a very important feature in a Vedic, Jyotish jewel.

Associated with the nine Jyotish gems are the days of the week, the numbers, an auspicious time for the particular gem | planet, and appropriate fingers if you want to wear your jewel in a ring . When we start designing the jewel, we adhere strictly to these Vedic guidelines. For maximum auspicity for the client, the designing process starts on the appropriate day for that particular gemstone | planet and at the appropriate time. At the final stage, prior setting the main stone, we, in a thankful Puja, recite the planet mantra prior setting the main stone. It is a receiving and giving exchange. Simply that.

We take pride in custom make every single talisman we deliver to our customers. We have many style pendants and rings. Each and every jewel is strictly one-of-a-kind, & unique, with that something that will be different from a previous one in the same style. Being the styles of prongs, a slightly ticker granulation or perhaps absence of it, a different curve in the design, none of the pieces we make are exactly identical. Strictly customized to you, because you are unique.

A Vedic, Jyotish Talisman is a jewel with a purpose. Discover its beauty, auspicity and power.
