Jyotisha Remedial Ratna Recommendation by Barbara Pijan Lama * 25 July 2015 * of 17

JYOTISHA RATNA RECOMMENDATION

Namaste Priyanka:

It is important to appreciate that gems do not possess 'magical' powers, and superstition toward gemstones

is not warranted. Flawless gems, which are properly energized by mantra and positive intention, have a

"signal-repeater" capacity similar to a radio crystal.

HOW JYOTISHA GEMSTONES WORK

Positioned at sensitive points along the body's psychic nerve system, gems can strengthen and repeat the

higher thoughts which one is consciously or unconsciously thinking and believing. the nature of the

thoughts and beliefs which one holds are critically important to getting successful results from wearing a

flawless gemstone.

Each person is born with a 'default' set of beliefs and expectations. Each graha represents an area of belief.

1. Surya plays out beliefs about divine creativity and intelligence.

2. Chandra projects beliefs about being cared for and belonging in a place.

3. Mangala expresses one’s subconscious expectation regarding movement and vitality.

4. Budha articulates beliefs about one’s communication and inner thoughts.

5. Guru expresses deep convictions about abundance and expansion.

6. Shukra carries out beliefs about pleasure and wealth.

7. Shani manifests beliefs about material survival and safety.

8. Rahu expresses expectations about excitement and desire

9. Ketu carries out beliefs regarding spiritual detachment.

REJUVENATION AND POSITIVE CHANGE

Each graha rules a particular amsha, receives drishti, and has other specialized characteristics which

determine the beliefs and expectations that the native will carry into this life. With sufficient spiritual

attention, these thoughts are fully capable of rejuvenation and improvement at the source.

However, most people will operate with an essentially unchanging, repetitive, habitual set of inborn

subconscious expectations, throughout their busy lives.

Gem prescriptions are made on the presumption that the karma of habitual thought and belief will remain

largely unchanged during the person's life. However, it is important to appreciate that this karma (the

mandate to act and react) can be changed through reflective intention at any time.

Nevertheless, the compulsion toward repetitive, culturally-reinforced thought is so strong that most people

indeed do not take the initiative to change it. , for better or for worse, gem prescriptions based on the

condition of the planets at birth do tend to be quite accurate.

PHILOSOPHY OF GEM PRESCRIPTION

There is a school of Jyotisha practice called “pratikula” which philosophizes that strengthening a naturally

malefic graha is an effective method of reversing its karma. I do not agree with this school of thought. My

understanding is that the remedial power of precious crystalline gemstones proceeds from the capability of

a pure, flawless, non-heat-treated gem to conduct and amplify human subconscious expectations.

The most subtle human thoughts are very fine-granulation. Humans are not normally even aware that they

are repeating a pattern of thoughts and expectations constantly, day-in and day-out. However this subtle

pattern of imagery and instruction is going on all the time.

The power of the gems is to pick up these subtle thoughts, similar to the way a radio crystal picks up a

radio signal. The flawless gemstone then amplifies the signal so that a human being can hear it

clairaudiently, as a voice of “intuition” or inner counsel.

Each graha has its own program of thoughts and instructions carried over from past lives into the current

life. It is beneficial to strengthen the instructions which come from subha-graha, but it is never beneficial to

strengthen the instructions which are emitting from the papa-graha. Thus only positive prescriptions are

offered.


WEAK BENEFICS ONLY (Anukula Method)

This document adheres to the prescription policy * Anukula method * to strengthen weak benefics only.

A benefic graha may obtain benefic status either naturally or temporally/

If a graha has the dharmic qualities of a trine-ruler (1, 5, or 9) the traditional rules of Jyotisha suggest that

under appropriate circumstances (proper intention, proper energizing of the ratna, and correct timing of

application) a properly chosen and properly prepared precious gem can help strengthen positive outcome

from the positive thoughts which guide the programming of the graha during this lifetime.

Let’s have a look at the graha in your kundali, Priyanka , to determine which Jyotisha remedial ratna might

be beneficial for you.

Guru-Ratna

"For the Aries Ascendant, Jupiter is rules the 9th and 12th houses.

for this Ascendant.

Consequently wearing a yellow sapphire by a native of this

Ascendant will make him intellectual, charitable, religiously

inclined, respectful towards elders and bestow on him good fortune,

wealth, honours, name and fame.

These results will be more pronounced in the major and sub-periods

of Jupiter.

If Jupiter is exalted in 4th house it will give rise to Hamsa yoga

(one of the Panchamahapurusha yogas) and will give the native

unexpected rise in life if he wears a Yellow Sapphire.

If as rules the 9th Jupiter is ill disposed or afflicted in any way in

the birth chart, wearing of Yellow Sapphire will protect him from

if necessary, if Venus is in his own sign or is exalted in the

Shani * rules the 7 and 8 from navamsha lagna

Shani accepts incoming Parashari drishti from Lord Rahu


S. Kapoor. (1994).

Gems and Astrology.


New Delhi. p. 114

Shani-ratna

"For the Aries Ascendant, Saturn is the rules the 10th and the 11th

houses.

Both are benevolent houses; still, on account of the lordship of the

11th house, Saturn is not considered a very benevolent planet for this

Ascendant.

But we are of the view that if Saturn is posited in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th

(in his sign of exaltation), 9th, 10th (in his own sign) and 11th (in his

own sign) Blue Sapphire can be worn with advantage in the major

period of Saturn.

When Saturn is in Libra in the 7th he will be exalted and when he is in

the 10th in his own sign Capricorn it will give rise to Sasha Yoga the

result of which has been described as under: "The person born in

[Sasha] yoga will command good servants. His character will be

questionable. He will be head of a village or a town or even a king, will

covet others' riches and will be wicked in disposition"

The wearing of Blue Sapphire will enhance the good effects of the

[Sahasya] yoga."

Ratna Prescription

Gomedha is not recommended

Seva

To rectify ignorance or

confusion

Seva offered to adult learners, such as introductory skills teaching at a

community college or a local service programme

Seva of producing messages such as advertising or website production

for charitable organizations – but always check veracity of content!

Ketu

Observations

KETU

Ketu occupies 9th radical bhava and 6th navamsha

As the ruler of your Azwini radical lagna, Professor Ketu delivers some very

important instruction. Ketu periods are beneficial for spiritual learning and also

may introduce some “out of the box” thinking which leads you to a psychic

state wherein you may see an opening for innovation and invention.

Religious doctrine may seem rather pointless sometimes, due to lack of

genuine connection to the principles purported to contain a lasting truth.

Nevertheless you practice and even take teachings from guru-figures. The goal

is to expand your reach, into the material and spiritual realms both.

Ketu periods are positively excellent for extended wandering around the globe

Ratna

Prescription Vaidurya, the Ketu-ratna, is not recommended.

However, the pushkara-raja yellow sapphire for Guru will indirectly enhance

the spiritual benefits of Ketu-9


IN SUMMARY

Priyanka , the gem recommendations for your nativity are:

Flawless Ruby * manika * to support vidyapathi Surya

Flawless Natural Pearl * moti mukthi mukta * to support bandhupathi Chandra

Flawless Red Coral * moonga * to support kalpapathi Mangala

Flawless Yellow Sapphire * pushkarya raja-ratna * pukhraj * to support dharmapathi Guru

PRIORITY

1. Flawless Natural Pearl * suitable to wear during your 10-year mahadasha of Chandra. A ruby * manikya

* and an oxblood-red coral, set in gold, may be added at any time to the flawless Natural Pearl during the

mahadasha of Chandra, according to one’s taste and budget. Manika and Moonga both help career

because Surya rules 10th from Chandra while Mangala rules 10th navamsha. Please be advised that

synthetic pearls whilst lovely in appearance do not have the proper cellular structure to serve as Jyotisha

ratna. Therefore only natural pearls will work for the purpose of signal-repeating of positive thought.

2. Flawless Red Coral * may be combined with Chandra-ratna during the Chandra mahadasha or the

Moonga may be worn alone. It is also beneficial to wear Ruby during Mangala mahadasha. To enhance

the financial benefits of Chandra-Mangala yoga, the Natural Pearl + the Oxblood-Red Coral may be

continued during the mahadasha of Mangala. A “pukhraj” yellow-sapphire or citrine set in gold to support

the life-force-vitality may be added at any time, according to taste and budget but during Kuja Mahadasha

only the Moonga is really essential.

3. Flawless Yellow Sapphire only (no other ratna, moti, no moonga) should be worn during Mahadasha of

Rahu

4. During the mahadasha of Brihaspati, the Guru-ratna may be combined with Mangala-Ratna and

Surya-ratna all set in pure gold.

5. During the mahadasha of Shani wear ONLY a blue sapphire, pure and flawless. You will live a long life,

Priyanka, and be highly respected in your old age. Therefore the Shani-ratna will be useful to maintain

your dignity.


SEVA

Jyotisha remedial ratna are generally expensive, due to world marketing of ornamental luxury gems.

Therefore it may be advisable to choose a path of Seva in preference to using gems, at least until one has

acquired sufficient wealth to justify a gem purchase.

All planetary imbalances, without exception, may be corrected by means of selfless service to those

immediately below one’s own station in life.

Seva is always effective for improving the intelligence and transforming ignorance into wisdom.

For graha that do not qualify for remedial gem application, offering Seva consistently as a form of self-

education will correct all planetary deficiencies.

And Seva is free!

QUALITY AND HANDLING OF GEMS

Flawless gems are expensive. Purchasing decisions should be made in consultation with a trusted

Vedic-trained gemologist.

It might be easiest to start with a single gem of modest size, and combine the recommended ratna as

your finances allow.

For all remedial gemstones, be sure to cleanse the stone energetically with extreme attention to proper

mantra.

According to Dr. G.S. Kapoor in Gems and Astrology (1994, p 91)

“It is very important for all gem stones that before wearing them they should be kept immersed for

sometime in unboiled milk or Ganges water.

Afterwards the stones should be worshipped with flowers and incense, and the Mantras of the planets

should be recited 108 times."

Priyanka , I hope you enjoy this Jyotisha gem prescription and the attached Jyotisha nativity with Vimshottari

Dasha timeline in PDF format.

Wishing you best success in Jyotisha studies.
