The Order for Wearing a Gem Again
The sequence is a judgment first, then a weekday, then the finger and metal. Skipping the judgment is how people feed a dusthana lord.
Judge the graha before the clock
The sequence for wearing a gem again starts with the chart, not with the sunrise. The graha must be a functional benefic, a yogakaraka, or the dasha lord you have a reason to support. Saturn is yogakaraka for Taurus and Libra. Mars is yogakaraka for Cancer and Leo. Venus is yogakaraka for Capricorn and Aquarius. A gem for a hostile 8th lord strengthens the complaint. Take the stone off for the same reason you would refuse to start it: the lordship changed in your understanding, not because a muhurta expired.
Ruby is the Sun, pearl the Moon, red coral Mars, emerald Mercury, yellow sapphire Jupiter, diamond Venus, blue sapphire Saturn. Hessonite and cat's eye belong to Rahu and Ketu and are a separate decision.
Weekday, paksha, finger
Wear the stone on its graha's weekday: Sunday the Sun, Monday the Moon, Tuesday Mars, Wednesday Mercury, Thursday Jupiter, Friday Venus, Saturday Saturn. The waxing fortnight is the usual preference for a fresh wearing. Morning, after bathing, is the usual hour. The common fingers are the index for Jupiter, the middle for Saturn, the ring finger for the Sun and Mars, and the little finger for Mercury and Venus. Metals follow the graha in the same tradition, gold for the Sun and Jupiter, silver for the Moon and Venus.
That is the order: lordship, weekday, waxing Moon, finger. It is not a minute-by-minute script, and it is not a promise that the mahadasha will change.
What rewearing does not reset
If you stopped a stone during a bad antardasha, putting it back at the next sunrise does not erase that antardasha. The Vimshottari sub-period ends on its own product of years divided by 120. The gem is an amplifier beside the clock.
A Muhurta for the act can also consider the day's nakshatra. It cannot consider a nakshatra you have not calculated for your city. Do not copy a timestamp from another longitude. The birth chart's reason for the stone is portable. The sunrise is local.
Frequently asked questions
Which weekday is Venus's stone?
Friday. Diamond belongs to Venus. The waxing fortnight is the usual phase for putting it on.
Should every Saturn wear blue sapphire?
No. Consider it when Saturn is yogakaraka, for Taurus or Libra, or when you have a clear reason to strengthen the dasha lord.
Does rewearing change the mahadasha?
No. It can support a graha. The period still ends by the Vimshottari count, not by the morning you chose.
