Gemstones by ascendant (traditional)

Enter your birth details to see which gemstones are traditionally associated with your chart: the stones of the Lagna lord, the 5th lord and the 9th lord.

How the stones are chosen

A common practice links gemstones to the lords of the Lagna (the life stone), the 5th house (intellect and merit) and the 9th house (fortune), because these houses are always supportive. Each graha has a traditional stone: Sun ruby, Moon pearl, Mars red coral, Mercury emerald, Jupiter yellow sapphire, Venus diamond, Saturn blue sapphire, Rahu hessonite and Ketu cat's eye.

A note of caution

Practitioners look at the whole chart, the strength of each lord and the dasha before suggesting a stone, and some stones are traditionally tested first. This page gives information only; joshiastro does not recommend or sell gemstones.
