GEMSTONES

As per Hindu scriptures, gemstones and their positive and negative effects on human beings have been known and accepted over 1000s of years. As per the ancient system of "sidhereal" or jyotish astrology, there are nine planets that influence a human being throughout his or her life. The position of one of these planets at the time of birth of a person, in relation to stars/ constellations in the universe determines its influence on the life of a person. A planet which is dominant at the time of birth of a person usually becomes his or her birth-star or planet. It is also called the ruling planet.
