crystals and vedic astrology: a beginners guide by yours truly

crystals have been used for centuries for their metaphysical abilities especially in india where it’s been recommended that someone not wear a crystal without looking and what their birth chart says first.

that being said, for your lucky stone, you will want to pay attention to the rashi your moon is in/the rashi’s planetary ruler, but you may also look at the planetary association of your nakshatra.

mars (aries/scorpio)- red coral/redstone
venus(taurus/libra)- diamond
mercury(gemini/virgo)- emerald
moon(cancer)- pearl/moonstone
sun(leo)- ruby/garnet
jupiter(sagittarius/pisces)- yellow sapphire
saturn(capricorn/aquarius)- blue sapphire

crystals associated w nakshatras are the same as their associated planetary ruler
(ex: rohini-moon-pearl/moonstone) we just add on ketu-cats eye, and rahu-gomedh. crystals are also chosen by nakshatra but personally ive seen are more commonly chosen through the rashi.

to use, you may also choose planets that’re considered malefics in your chart but i would strongly advise a professional astrologer for taking any steps further. any benefic planets that may also take part in a yoga can be worn to increase strength of that yoga, etc.

keep in mind that being drawn towards a particular crystal is also important! being drawn to a certain crystal means that the crystal wants to use its metaphysical abilities to help you with certain things you may be struggling w at the given moment, don’t disregard this!
