How to Wear Astrological Gemstones

Astrological gemstones are not ordinary ornaments. In Vedic astrology, each gemstone is associated with a specific planet and carries that planet’s energy. Wearing a gemstone in the correct manner — on the right day, at the right time, in the right metal, and with the proper ritual — is believed to amplify its positive effects and minimise any harmful ones.

This guide breaks down the complete process for wearing each major astrological gemstone in a simple, easy-to-follow format. Whether you are a first-time wearer or looking to refresh your knowledge, every step is clearly laid out.
