Astrology can be likened to a cosmic language. The planets, signs, houses and lunar mansions are the verbs, nouns and adjectives. An astrologer is a person who understands this cosmic language along with its grammar. He can then read the sentences and paragraphs that tells of an individuals destiny.

Gemstones

One of the most commonly employed astro-remedial measures in Vedic astrology is the use of gemstones. The metaphysical properties of gemstones are not widely known in the West, but have been recognized and utilized in Oriental cultures for centuries.

In the modern age, everyone accepts that crystals have the power to amplify radio waves, for example. Crystals have been used in radios for just this purpose. Gemstones can amplify planetary vibrations in a similar fashion.

The birth chart, or horoscope, charts the positions of the planets at the time of one’s birth. Some planets may be especially favourable to an individual, but may be weak and unable to bless the individual due to it’s placement in the chart or due to the influence of other planets. By wearing the gemstone for that particular planet, we can actually strengthen its positive influence in our lives.
