QUOTATION from B.V. Raman, Three Hundred Important Combinations .

(10th ed., Delhi, 1991, 1947).

"Malefics, Sukha-graha, and Neutrals " p. 6


"Jupiter.

Benefic as ruler of 2 and 5 for Scorpionis,

Neutral as ruler of 1 and 4 for Sagittarius,

Malefic as ruler of 2 and 11 for Aquarius,

QUOTATION from

Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology . Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 105-108


" Yellow Sapphire is the gem stone ruled by Jupiter. ... The colour of Jupiter is yellow and Yellow Sapphire is the appropriate gem stone for him.

  • Yellow Sapphire will prove useful and beneficial to the natives of the birth charts in which Jupiter rules auspicious houses. It should not be worn by the native s of the birth charts in which Jupiter rules the 6th, 8th and 12th houses without the lordship simultaneously of a trine.

Rituals:

  • Yellow Sapphire should always be got. set in a gold ring on a Monday or Thursday.

  • The weight should not be less than three carats.

  • It should not be of 6, 11 or 15 carats.

  • After observing the usual rituals and reciting the following mantra 108 times, the ring may be worn in the ring finger of the right hand on a Thursday morning of the bright half of the lunar month.

Aum brim brihaspataye namah

  • The substitutes for Yellow Sapphire are Yellow Pearl, Yellow Zircon, Yellow Tourmaline, Topaz and Citrine (Quartz Topaz).

  • Important: Diamond, Blue Sapphire, Gomedha, and Cat's Eye should never be worn with Yellow Sapphire."


For all remedial gemstones, be sure to cleanse the stone energetically with extreme attention to proper mantra.

Flawless gems are expensive and hard to find. Use only a trusted Vedic-trained gemologist. It might be easiest to start with single gem and combine them as your finances allow.

QUOTATION from

Dr. G.S. Kapoor (1994, p 91)


" It is very important for all gem stones that before wearing them they should be kept immersed for sometime in unboiled milk or Ganges water.

  • Afterwards the stones should be worshipped with flowers and incense,

  • and the Mantras of the planets should be recited 108 times."

Word to the Wise re:"Cheaper Alternative" ratna Citrine

~~ http://www.gemologyonline.com/treatment.html


" Treatments and Pricing: There are some gemstones that would not even exist if it were not for simple heating and heating with flux treatments.

  • The abundance of citrine, in shades of yellow, gold and orange is the result of heat-treating amethyst.

  • Naturally occurring citrine is quite rare in nature. If it was not for treatments, the stone would be far more expensive than it is!"

QUOTATION from ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology . Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 81:

YELLOW SAPPHIRE (pushkaraja,"pukhraj")


[BPL note: As Dr. Kapoor says "it has been believed"

 The Brahminical doctrine of social stratification and control has herein been overlaid upon the mineral kingdom.   The division of yellow-sapphires into four classes of white, rosy, yellow, and blackish is not supported in the classical commentary, but is rather a product of cultural practice.]"It has been believed that the pushkaraja,"pukhraj" belonging to the Brahmin class is white in colour,

  • the one of Kshatrya class is rosy,

  • the one of Vaishya class is yellow

  • and that belonging to the Shudra class has a blackish hue.

The pushkaraja,"pukhraj"assigned to and ruled by Jupiter is of yellow colour

  • and whatever class it belongs to,

  • it is used for getting the benevolent blessings of Jupiter.

An unblemished yellow Sapphire (which is often called Topaz)

  • gives the wearer, good health, wisdom. property, longevity, name, honours and fame.

The wearer is blessed with children and grand children.

It affords protection from evil spirits.

It is believed that if there are obstructions in getting a suitable match for a girl,

  • she gets married early by wearing a yellow Sapphire.

Blemished gem stones are the cause of many troubles.

  • A stone with cracks invites threats of theft.

  • One without lustre and transparency creates enemies and causes disharmony in the family.

  • Milky stone invites injuries to the body.

  • The one with a web causes stomach disorders.

  • The stone with black and white colours is harmful for the cattle of the wearer.

  • The one with red dots on it destroys wealth.

  • The stone with a depression causes anxiety and disturbs peace of mind."
