Rashi Ratan chart

How to wear each planet's gemstone

• Sun – ruby: Sunday morning, ring finger, “Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah”
• Moon – pearl: Monday morning, little finger, “Om Chandraya Namah”
• Mars – coral: Tuesday morning, ring finger, “Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah”
• Mercury – emerald: Wednesday morning, little finger, “Om Bum Budhaya Namah”
• Jupiter – yellow sapphire: Thursday morning, index finger, “Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah”
• Venus – diamond/opal: Friday morning, ring or middle finger, “Om Shum Shukraya Namah”
• Saturn – blue sapphire: Saturday evening, middle finger, “Om Sham Shanaishcharaye Namah”

Chant the mantra 108 times after rinsing the ring in raw milk and Ganga jal. These are traditional practices.

Moon sign vs Sun sign

Western astrology uses the Sun sign (by birth date), while Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac and usually the Moon sign, so your Vedic Rashi is often one sign earlier than your Western sign. If you are unsure, an astrologer can calculate it from your date, time and place of birth; our Astro Check consultation can help.

Rashi Ratan vs Lagna (ascendant) stone

Many astrologers prefer to choose a stone based on the ascendant (Lagna) and the strength of planets in your chart rather than the Moon sign alone. Strong stones such as Neelam are usually recommended only after a chart reading.
