Dr.Head / Rahu
Rahu is regarded as similar to Saturn in its effect. Smoky blue is its color, instinctual and animalistic its nature. Rahu is interested only in achieving all that gives pleasure, and even if it achieves all it wants, it is never satisfied (which is true of our animalistic nature). Although Rahu rules no sign of the zodiac, the zodiacal sign Virgo is its sign. Virgo is in fact assigned to Mercury, but Rahu being akin to Saturn and Mercury being a friend of Saturn, Rahu thus has authority over Virgo. Friendly signs are Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces. Cancer and Leo are its enemy signs. Mercury, Venus, and Saturn are friendly planets. Rahu is an enemy of Sun, Moon, and Mars. Rahu gives auspicious results in Taurus and Libra. Rahu is capable of giving power when rightly posited or exalted, and it gives fame, success in politics, money, and physical beauty (i.e., attraction).
Rahu gives its effects between forty-two and forty-eight years of age. Although it gives beneficial results while posited in the above-mentioned signs, and houses, the gains obtained during its major period do not last long, and one always feels anxious and dissatisfied, even if one gets everything one desires. Rahu creates physical and mental illnesses that cannot be diagnosed and cured easily. It gives suicidal tendencies, fears, phobias, poisonous bites, murder, theft, imprisonment, and diseases like cholera, dysentery, skin diseases, swelling of the uterus, and constipation.

Saturn / Sani
Saturn (In Sanskrit - Shani) is darkness, the enemy of light. When it is well placed in the seventh house, or well aspected, it gives its natives integrity, wisdom, spirituality, fame, patience, ability to lead, authority, long life, organizational abilities, sincerity, honesty, love of justice, awareness of right and wrong (because it rules the inner conscience), nonattachment, and asceticism. When it is ill-posited or ill-aspected it brings miseries, sorrow, delay, obstruction, disappointment, disharmony, disputes, dejection, difficulties, despondency, and destruction (death). It makes its natives undisciplined, irresponsible, dishonest, dull, addicted to drugs, sadistic, greedy, lonely and afraid. Accidents, humiliation, prison, lawsuits, suicidal tendencies, fear of theft, thefts, blame, enmity, pessimism, and premature aging are also attributed to an ill-aspected or ill-posited Saturn. In the body, Saturn rules the nails, hair, teeth, bones, and nervous system. Diseases of the ears, jaundice, gout, deafness, depression, anxiety, insanity, and asthma are also connected with a Saturn that is ill-aspected or badly placed in the birth chart.
Saturn rules over the zodiacal signs Capricorn and Aquarius. Mercury, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu are its friends and the Sun, the Moon, and Mars are its enemies. Jupiter is neutral in friendship. Its friendly zodiacal signs are Taurus and Gemini and it works well and gives good results in Sagittarius and Pisces. Enemy signs are Cancer, Leo, and Scorpio. Saturn gives its best results – or worst results – between thirty-six and forty-two years of age.

Gemstone for this planet: Blue Sapphire/Neelam
The blue sapphire is a gem of the corundum family.

According to Linga Puran, Saturn is born from the exuberant light mass of the lord Rudra and according to Markendaya Purana , Saturn was born to Chhaya-the wife of the sun. Its speed is very slow that is why he is called 'Shaneshchar' which means a slow mover. In Indian astrology, Saturn is considered to be a malefic amongst the malefic but its last effect is happy.

The ill effects of Mercury can be minimized and the good effects can be increased
according to Indian mythology by doing the following tasks. Any or all of these, one
can select as per one's convenience.
• Green is the colour and Wednesday is the weekday dear to Mercury. So, astrologers recommend donation of green coloured clothes on any Wednesday.
• Worshipping goddess Parvati with yellow or green flowers is recommended for better beneficial results.
• Giving away in charity alloy or alloy utensils according to capacity is considered to keep one away from ill effects of Mercury.
• Distributing Khand (Sugar Powder), butter oil, grams to needy persons and fodders to animals will appease Mercury.
• Distributing fruits is another way recommended to please mercury.
• Offering of multiple coloured flowers or flowers of assorted colour in the Hawan (Fire Sacrifices) is another proposition to please Mercury.

Mercury is the planet of intellect and communication. It can be seen in the morning
and evening as a shining star – and sometimes even during the day because of its power of radiation. Mercury is the smallest planet of our solar system. Mercury rules education, writers, lecturers, artists, teachers, traders, businessmen, the nervous system, lungs, and intestines. It rules intelligence, speech, selfconfidence, humor, wit, astrology, mathematics, and short journeys.
Mercury rules the zodiacal signs Virgo and Gemini. Friends of Mercury are the Sun, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are neutral to Mercury, and Mercury maintains enmity with the Moon.
It works well with Ashlekha, Jyeshtha, Revati, Rohini, Hast, and Shravan nakshatras
and gives auspicious results. It gives inauspicious results in Adra, Svati, Pushya,
Anuradha, Chitra, and Magha nakshatras.
It gives its best results when its native is between thirty-two and thirty-five years of age. When ill-aspected, Mercury gives chronic dysentery, constipation, lack of digestive fire, lung diseases, asthma, restlessness, kidney problems, fear, neurosis, and madness.
Mercury's benevolent influence will keep a person in god stead in relation to family,
society and occupation linked with accounting and education. It also makes you
lovable and favourite among your relatives. May Mercury help and bestow you with
all the good ways, we wish.

• Worshipping goddess Parvati with yellow or green flowers is recommended for better beneficial results.
• Giving away in charity alloy or alloy utensils according to capacity is considered to keep one away from ill effects of Mercury.
• Distributing Khand (Sugar Powder), butter oil, grams to needy persons and fodders to animals will appease Mercury.
• Distributing fruits is another way recommended to please mercury.
• Offering of multiple coloured flowers or flowers of assorted colour in the Hawan (Fire Sacrifices) is another proposition to please Mercury.
• Putting a Tilak (Spilus Mark) on forehead of paste of ivory or wearing bead of ivory are suggested to appease Mercury. Tilak (Spilus Mark) of saffron can also do good.
• Reciting Mercury's Vedic Mantra will also go a long way to appease the planet.
• Chanting Mercury's Beej (Seed) Mantra will also propitiate the Planet.
• Fasting on Wednesdays is another way to get favourable results.
Mercury is the planet of intellect and communication. It can be seen in the morning
and evening as a shining star – and sometimes even during the day because of its power of radiation. Mercury is the smallest planet of our solar system. Mercury rules education, writers, lecturers, artists, teachers, traders, businessmen, the nervous system, lungs, and intestines. It rules intelligence, speech, selfconfidence, humor, wit, astrology, mathematics, and short journeys.
Mercury rules the zodiacal signs Virgo and Gemini. Friends of Mercury are the Sun, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are neutral to Mercury, and Mercury maintains enmity with the Moon.
It works well with Ashlekha, Jyeshtha, Revati, Rohini, Hast, and Shravan nakshatras
and gives auspicious results. It gives inauspicious results in Adra, Svati, Pushya,
Anuradha, Chitra, and Magha nakshatras.
It gives its best results when its native is between thirty-two and thirty-five years of age. When ill-aspected, Mercury gives chronic dysentery, constipation, lack of digestive fire, lung diseases, asthma, restlessness, kidney problems, fear, neurosis, and madness.
Mercury's benevolent influence will keep a person in god stead in relation to family,
society and occupation linked with accounting and education. It also makes you
lovable and favourite among your relatives. May Mercury help and bestow you with
all the good ways, we wish.

Gemstone for this Planet – Pearl
Pearl ~ Moti
Formation of a pearl inside a pearl oyster occurs because of the presence of foreign material inside the body of the oyster. To save itself from the undesired material the mollusk coats the object with layer after layer of nacre. It takes many years for a mollusk to produce a pearl of substantial size. The process through which the pearls are formed inside the body of the mollusk is very delicate, and a little disturbance at any stage of development of a pearl can influence its shape and lustre. The finest pearl is that which has no foreign matter in its core. Pearls are obtained from eight sources, which are Sky Pearl, Cobra Pearl, Bamboo Pearl, Hog Pearl, Elephantine Pearl, Conch Pearl, Fish Pearl and Oyster Pearl.

• Difference in luster : When culture, imitation, or artificial pearls are treated with a mixture of cow's urine and saltpeter for twenty-four hours, their lustre decreases. Genuine pearls retain their lustre after such treatment.

the favour of the Sun.
• Speaking truth is a noble virtue. Inculcate the habit of speaking Truth. This will

The Sun, according to the Vedas, is the parent of all existing phenomena in the
solar system. He is the ruler of all the planets that rotate around him. The Sun is
considered to be the soul of Kala Purusha (Kala = time, Purusha = being; combined,
it means the being that binds himself to Time).
Its colored is bloodred, its nature is bile-dominated, and it is the lord of the direction East.
It is the ruler of the zodiacal sign, Leo, and is exalted in the sign Aries, debilitated in Libra, and exiled in Aquarius. The Moon, Mars, and Jupiter are its natural friends, and Venus, Saturn, Rahu (dragon’s head, or the north node of the Moon), and Ketu (dragon’s tail, the south node of the Moon) are its natural enemies. Nakshatras Kritika, Uttra Phalguni, and Uttra Khad are ruled by the Sun.
The Sun gives us vitality and the power of resistance and immunity. It is responsible
for our physical makeup – the body’s constitution. The Sun gives life force, the
power of will, intellect, brilliance, prosperity, success in worldly affairs, wealth,
personal, conduct, activity, cheerfulness, good fortune, wisdom, ambition, fame, the
understanding of the phenomenal world, and the knowledge of medicine. It also
governs our relationship with temples and holy places.
The human spine is specially influenced by the Sun. Pingala Nadi, which represents
the Sun, originates at the base of the spine on the right side, is solar in nature, and terminates in the right nostril. The Sun is connected with the right eye in men and the left eye in women. The Sun rules the heart, liver, lungs, head (brain), nerves, and bones.
The Sun also represents kings, government officials, rich and famous people,
personnel of royal families. Gemologists, artists, dramatists, jewelers, and creative
people. Copper is its metal but it rules over gold, almonds, peanuts, coconut,
mustard seeds, wool, red flowers, red sandalwood, and what in India are called
“red” cows. It shows its influence from twelve to twenty-four years of age.
An afflicted and ill-aspected Sun gives low and high blood pressure, indigestion,
jaundice, cholera, fever, diabetes, appendicitis, hemorrhage, cardiac thrombosis,
eruptions on the face, typhoid, tuberculosis, mental problems caused by thinking too
much, diseases of the head, epilepsy, and disorders caused by aggravated bile.
Sun is associated with Health, Pay and Success. A sound mind resides in a sound
body. So, acquire sound health getting Sun's favour, thanks to Sun's influence. Carve
out success through your sound mind. You will obtain through the Sun's grace,
longevity, health, wealth, success in business, occupation etc... we hope and desire
so.

How to Influence Stars and Planets
GEMSTONE AS REMEDY AND ABOUT VEDIC ASTROLOGY
GEMS have made lives of many individuals happier and more successful. Gemstones according to vedic astrology and also with modern science relevance have both positive and negative impact on the wearer. Gemstones and Vedic astrology affect every aspect of one’s life be it any. Gemstones can have extraordinary effects on us spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. In fact wearing the appropriate gem does wonders in solving problems, protects from evil influences of planets and enhances their beneficial effect. Worn as pendants and rings, gemstones can help us unlock our potential as human beings by expanding our level of consciousness, calming our stress levels, and infusing our dreams with healing energies.
ABOUT GEMSTONES
There are so many gemstones but only nine are considered as ‘precious gems’ these are called ‘nav ratnas’. These nine gemstones are given great importance in vedic astrology. These nine gemstones and planets they are related to namely;
GEM PLANETS
1.Ruby Sun
2.Diamond Venus
3.Emerald mercury
4.Yellow sapphire Jupiter
5.blue sapphire Saturn
6.Gomeda Rahu
7.Pearl Moon
8.Cat’s eye Ketu
9.Coral Mars
Of all these gems, only pearl and coral are taken out from the ocean, while cat’s eye, gomeda, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, emerald, ruby, are mined from the earth.
These gemstones should be set in rings or pendants to enable the planetary rays to pass right through the gem into our body.
Scientifically
Gemstone colours result from extra added or trapped atoms within the molecular structure of the stone. Atoms, which make up all matter, produce vibrations. Consequently, humans, light, sound, minerals, and colour emit vibrations produced by their unique atomic make-up. Although they all vibrate at different frequencies, nevertheless their vibrations interact with one another. Many people don’t realize that colour is a form of energy, one that you perceive with your eyes but that also exists and affects you on many levels besides the visual. When light passes through a prism, a rainbow of seven colours appears, each projected ray has a specific wavelength and vibration. The lowest and longest vibration on the spectrum is red, which is followed by increasingly shorter rays of orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo, ending with violet that is the highest frequency-vibrating colour. The rays on the lower end of the spectrum have earth-oriented properties and are associated with physical world energies such as self-survival and preservation, self-worth, sexuality, and courage. The upper-spectrum colours correspond to the higher aspects of unconditional love, communication and spiritual enlightenment.
We are surrounded by a “sea of energy” which is invisible, boundless and in perfect order. This energy is called "Prana” in the Hindu tradition and “Chi” in the Chinese tradition. We can ultimately affect the health of our physical bodies, as well as our emotional, mental, and spiritual states, by changing the energy field surrounding the body. Gemstones can be used to augment chakra energies by acting as amplifiers when brought into contact with the human body. By rotating at different speeds, the chakras release energies and fill our bodies with precious life forces. Our chakras can sometimes become clogged however; thereby their rotation slows down, which in turn disrupts our body’s energy system. The use of gemstones can balance these energy points, strengthening the aura and promoting health, happiness, well-being, and prosperity.
Hence we can see that Planets bestow benefits and cause ill effects as are aspected in the Rashi. Indian mythology affords ample proof of these. To optimize beneficial results and to mitigate ill effects, our great seers and learned ancestors have worked out prescriptions. Now you see what they are and what they can do for you.
Now next post onwards you will see characteristics and influence of each planet, its gemstone and the effects of these gemstone on the wearer.
