From times immemorial gems have been used by people in different ways. Gems have curative powers as well as the power to pour in fortune and drive away the evils of planetary positions. Certain gems and stones have magical powers of healing and fortune giving. Gems have made life happier for many individuals. These are widely used to get benefit from the planets as these little gems carry never ending source of rays of the planets and continue their effects even after years. Gems counteract the bad effects of planets and get us luck, fortune, prosperity, status, knowledge, concentration, good health, name and fame.

The Indian Astrology distinguishes the destiny and traits of an individual that are associated with the positions of the planets and the date, time and place of birth. The Indian astrology considers the movement of two luminaries namely the Sun and the Moon, five major planets (Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter) and the two nodal points of the Moon i.e Rahu and Ketu.

Jupiter

Jupiter, the King of the Gods, is the ruler of Sagittarius. In Astrology, Jupiter is a planet of plenty. It is tolerant and expansive. The first of the social planets, Jupiter seeks insight through knowledge. Some of this planet's keywords include morality, gratitude, hope, honor, and the law. Jupiter is a planet of broader purpose, reach, and possibility.

Jupiter has generally been associated with good luck and bounty. Optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth) come under its rule. On the up side, Jupiter is associated with a sense of humor, good will, and mercy. The more negative manifestations of Jupiter include blind optimism, excess, and overindulgence. Irresponsibility that results from blind optimism, not ill will, can be displayed.

In the chart, the position of Jupiter by sign reveals how we express our generosity and tolerance. It shows how we go about trusting others and improving our lives. Where do we look for wisdom and understanding? Look to Jupiter's position by house and to the planets it contacts for answers.

HOW TO WEAR THE STONE?

To obtain the full benefic effects of the stone, wear it when Moon is within a specific constellation on a specified day and time. Wearing it in the specified Nakshatra (star) enhances the benefic effects of the stone. Take the stone of a size specified or greater, in fraction of 1/4 Ratti, rejecting fractions of 3/4 Ratti. Get it studded in the specified metal such that it touches the finger from the bottom. Before wearing it light a lamp and incense sticks and meditate on your God. Clean the ring in fresh milk and then Ganga water. Perform pooja and recite the specified Mantra 108 or 1008 times. Then wear the stone in the specified finger of your right hand. After wearing the ring give alms as specified for that stone.

If you are already wearing a stone then avoid wearing a contradictory stone to the specific stone worn previously. A proper judgement of all the planets at birth is crucial in deciding which gem stone can be worn favourably and which stones have to be avoided. A wrong judgement can play havoc and prove harmful.
