Saturn stones in Vedic astrology
In Indian astrology , a special attitude to stones has taken root. They are revered as "representatives" of the celestial bodies of the cosmos on Earth. They are often used as an effective means of astrological correction. It is important to remember that stones obtained artificially or grown by human hands do not possess any such properties. In addition, stones in which cracks are present also have no strength.
The wearing of gems in Indian astrology is prescribed in accordance with the behavior of the corresponding planet in the natal chart of man. Stones prescribed to Saturn: blue sapphire, agate, jet, dark topaz and onyx. When used correctly, they are able to demonstrate not only their characteristics, but also can affect the twists of fate that are written in the natal chart.
How to wear stones
Following the canonical approach of Vedic astrology, stones must be purchased on a special day, in addition, they must be energetically cleaned. To do this, it is necessary to leave the stones in solution with sea salt or with honey for a day. Some astrologers advise reading more over the stones of the mantra of Saturn. The result of the jewelry should be visible after a few weeks. Harmonization of Saturn with stones helps to strengthen its beneficial effects and prevent harmful ones.
Saturn's precious minerals, especially sapphires, should be careful. They are known for their cruelty and heaviness, so these stones are not suitable for everyone. It is possible to understand whether a stone is suitable or not only after some time of wearing it. By following the changes that have occurred in life during this period, we can conclude whether they were positive or negative. Some jewelry stores in India offer their customers to test the mineral and, if it does not fit, provide an opportunity to return it after a certain period of time. The first time the stone of Saturn is advised to wear on Saturday.
Stone compatibility
Together with the minerals of Saturn, it is recommended to wear a stone of a planet friendly to it, for example, Venus, Mercury or some stones of Jupiter. However, it is worth remembering that for your own safety it is better not to wear the stones of Saturn at the same time as the stones of the Moon, Mars or the Sun. Wearing incompatible jewelry, you can cause an imbalance of natural energy flows, which, in turn, can affect human health or his affairs.
