How To Read Your Result · Gemstone Information by the Texts
| Result | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Your Ascendant lord | The lord planet of your Ascendant and the gem the text links to it. This is information, not advice to wear |
| Ascendant lord in a hard house | If it is in the 6th, 8th or 12th the gem decision needs more care. Ask a knowledgeable person |
| Free remedies | Mantra, charity and service are held equally complete. They cost nothing |
What The Text Says About Gems · Gemstone Information by the Texts
According to Muhurta Chintamani each planet has one gem, and in the navaratna ring the Ruby goes in the middle and the other eight gems in the eight directions. The commentary says to wear the gem of an unfavourable planet to please it. Source: Muhurta Chintamani, chapter 4, verse 9–10
But the text does not say everyone must wear a gem. The decision is made after testing the gem, seeing the planet’s state in the chart and one’s own health.
In tradition the gem of the 6th, 8th or 12th lord is not held right. That is why be careful of wearing a gem without checking.
Our Count · Gemstone Information by the Texts
We made 6,000 random charts between 1940 and 2009.
The Ascendant lord was the Sun or Moon in 18.1%, Mars 16.9%, Mercury 17.9%, Jupiter 15.1%, Venus 17.8% and Saturn 14.2%.
The Ascendant lord was in the 6th, 8th or 12th house in 25.9%, and in a debilitated sign in 7.8%.
The meaning: in every fourth person the Ascendant lord is in a hard house, so one-size advice such as "the gem of my Ascendant" does not fit all.
