There Is No Set of Five Marriage Stones

Aries and Scorpio lagnas have Venus as 7th lord, so diamond is the marriage candidate. Cancer has Saturn as 7th lord, so the candidate is blue sapphire, and often a poor idea. The list cannot be universal.

The 7th lord picks the stone, if anyone does

Love and marriage do not have a fixed set of five gemstones. A stone enters only after the chart names the planet that must support the 7th house and the D9 Navamsa. Venus is the natural karaka and is eligible when the chart names Venus, not because the topic is love. The 7th lord is eligible when he is a planet you intend to wake. For Aries and Scorpio lagnas the 7th lord is Venus, and diamond is the coherent candidate if the D9 agrees and the dasha includes him. For Cancer and Leo the 7th lord is Saturn. Blue sapphire would be the 'marriage stone' by the same rule, and it is frequently the wrong purchase because Saturn's style is delay and weight, and amplifying him to force a wedding can amplify the delay. Five stones would hide that fork.

Two more lagnas, still not five

Gemini's 7th lord is Jupiter, so yellow sapphire is the candidate, and Jupiter also rules Gemini's 10th, so the stone is career as well as marriage. Virgo's 7th lord is Jupiter too, and for Virgo he also rules the 4th, so the stone is home and spouse together. Taurus and Libra give the 7th to Mars, and coral is the candidate, with the Mangal question sitting in the same planet because the 7th is a Mangal house if Mars occupies it, which is a separate test from rulership. Already the 'love stones' are diamond, sapphire, yellow sapphire, and coral, and each is right for some lagnas and reckless for others. A poster that adds pearl for feelings has switched to the Moon, who is the mind, not the 7th lord, unless the lagna makes him so. Aries lagna does: the Moon rules the 4th, not the 7th. Pearl is a home stone there.

The D9 and the dasha can veto the whole set

If the 7th lord is fallen in the Navamsa, his stone is being asked to shout through a weak division. Pause. If the Vimshottari dasha already running is not his and not Venus's, the stone is early. If he rules the 6th as well as a marriage-related house, read the conflict you are about to turn up. The 5th house can be the real love problem, courtship rather than the spouse, and then the 7th lord's stone misses. There is no fifth stone that covers the leftovers. Write the lagna, the 7th lord, the D9 condition, and the dasha. The stone is either that lord's gem or Venus's diamond or nothing. Anyone offering five has not asked your lagna.

Frequently asked questions

Is diamond the default love stone?

Diamond is Venus's stone. Venus rules the 7th for Aries and Scorpio. For other lagnas the default, if there is one, is the 7th lord's own gem.

Should both partners wear stones?

Only if each chart names a planet. One person's 7th lord is not the other's. Two stones for one marriage are two different decisions.

Can a red thread replace the stone?

A thread is a custom. It is not coral and it is not a 7th lord. It does not become the remedy the chart failed to name.
