Gemstones have been used in astrology for thousands of years across various cultures. Their significance in astrology is tied to the belief that gemstones can harness cosmic energies and positively influence the human body and mind. Here are some of the reasons why gemstones are used in astrology:

Astrologers often prescribe gemstones to mitigate certain planets’ negative effects or strengthen others’ positive influence. This practice is known as astrological remediation. Each gemstone is associated with a particular planet and is believed to absorb and emit the planet’s energy.

Gemstones are believed to possess vibrational energy that can interact with the human energy field (aura). This interaction is thought to harmonize and stabilize a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual states. It’s a common conventional belief that the Lord of your Moon Nakshatra derives the gemstone that has to be worn by the person.

Suppose your Moon Nakshatra is Hasta, the lord of this nakshatra is Moon, and “Pearl” is the stone related to the Moon. So, the Jataka must wear Perl stone on the day of Hasta Nakshatra.
