Gemstones, Venus, and Marriage

Venus is the karaka of the spouse, of pleasure, and of marriage comfort. Diamond or white sapphire is the stone associated with Venus in the remedial tradition. It is considered when Venus is a functional benefic for the lagna and is weak enough to need support, not when a shop has a tray of seven colors. For some lagnas Venus rules difficult houses. Strengthening it then is not a love charm. The seventh house is marriage. A stone does not move a seventh lord out of the twelfth house of loss. It is an aid, at most, during the period when Venus or the seventh lord is already timing the topic.

Ruby is the Sun, pearl the Moon, red coral Mars, emerald Mercury, yellow sapphire Jupiter, diamond Venus, blue sapphire Saturn. Hessonite is associated with Rahu and cat's eye with Ketu. That list is a map of grahas, not a love kit. Wearing Mars for passion can aggravate the sixth house of conflict. Wearing Saturn for loyalty can cool a seventh that was already cold. The lagna's functional benefics decide. A column that assigns one stone to each of seven romantic problems ignores the lagna completely.

Venus mahadasha lasts 20 years. If marriage is the question, look there and at the seventh lord's antardasha before anyone buys a stone. Navamsa must agree that the seventh is supportable. Nothing on this page treats a body, balances a chakra, or binds a partner. Lahiri sidereal Venus is the Venus to judge. A tropical Venus may already be in another sign, and the stone chosen from it would aim at the wrong graha.
