Symptoms of Malefic Planets and Their Gemstone Remedies
Introduction
In Vedic astrology, the nine planets (Navagrahas) influence every aspect of human life — health, wealth, relationships, career, and spirituality. When a planet is benefic in a horoscope, it brings blessings. But when it is malefic or afflicted, it causes various sufferings and disturbances.
Malefic effects arise due to:
• Debilitation (Neecha Rashi)
• Placement in enemy sign
• Combustion (Ast)
• Conjunction with malefic planets
• Bad placement in houses (like 6th, 8th, 12th)
• Affliction by Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn
Thankfully, our ancient Rishis prescribed gemstone therapy to pacify or strengthen planetary energies. Below is a detailed guide to understanding the symptoms of afflicted planets and their remedial gemstones.

2. Gemstones should be natural, untreated, and energized with proper mantra and rituals.
3. Perform Shuddhikaran (purification) and Pran Pratistha (energizing) before wearing.
4. Observe results for 40 days to notice astrological changes.
Personalized Remedies Are Powerful
While gemstones are powerful tools, they are most effective only when recommended after proper horoscope analysis. Wearing the wrong stone can worsen the effects of planets.
