I don’t think Mercury is bad for you, but Sun and Ketu sure are. By wearing an emerald you risk strengthening these negative planets and giving financial issues to spouse. Hence why people woul advise you against wearing an emerald.
Also see the case of PV Narasimha Rao cited in this posts-audio itself.

Maka
1. If there is only graha dristi, then effects of the aspect of Saturn/Rahu is only temporary.
Then only during the Dasa/Antaradasa of the specific planet would you need to wear a gemstone, and only of either Blue Sapphire (Saturn) or Hessonite (Rahu) on the LEFT hand and only during their Dasas/Antaradasas.

2. You can read more about Moola dasa here: http://srath.com/lessons/advanced/muladasa.htm I use the Moola dasa in alot of my consultations with clients, and quite succesfully also.

Deepak
1. Easy - Venus will act like Mars, and vice versa. Venus thus becomes more malefic, as well as taking on the malefic lordship.
2. Comeon - too easy. Mercury will act malefically.

Gaurav
Stay far far away from Blue Sapphire. Instead wear a nice diamond and you will be very succesful in your career.

Vikas Malhotra
This case seems to be one of Matrishaapa. Wearing a Pearl on the right hand ring finger from a Monday, after having worshipped Shiva with the ring will help.
Further she must worship Somanatha with the mantra: Om Namah Shivaaya Somanathaaya Haum Joom Sah|
She has caused displeasure with the divine mother, and for this reason this is happening.
You will have to wait some time for relief, but it will end. Espect better tides after the coming April.

You can recite the Mrityunjaya mantra for her health to increase as well. Merely meditating on Om Joom Sah does great work for the soul.

Ajay Melwani
You might as well ask me for a reading. My services are listed in the consultations section.
Your impediments are due to a curse of spouse from the last life. Shiva in the form of Tryambaka will help you out of this and solve all your issues in career, health, marriage, finances, etc. Recite the Mrityunjaya mantra to worship Tryambaka and begin from a Monday morning. Perform Rudraabhisheka once a year, and don’t hold back on Dakshina to the priests.

Vasu
1. Yes.
2. It helps immensely, yes.
3. Benefics remove badhaka. Malefics encourage more badhaka. This should answer your question.
4. Yes. Worship of Shiva is essential.

Srikanth
Don’t wear gemstones based on Amsa parivartana. Mars dasa will bring the results of Venus, so treat Mars Dasa as if Venus was running and vice versa… Amsaparivartana really works like this. Venus in 3rd from AL is not good for relationships.

Aredaman
The gemstone is to be worshiped with God in it. Based on that decide how you will use your gemstone.

Vijay Mohan
Rahu in Badhaka Sthana is the real reason. Make sure you wear the Yellow Sapphire/Topaz on the right hand ring finger. The eggs can easily be 4mm in height.

Yours sincerley, Visti Larsen.

How r u , its been a long time since we got your precious replies.

In the meantime i had gone through all mp3 lectures by you and sanjay ji. I have one query regarding yuti yoga, which iam unable to sort out.

I. If venus(9th+2nd lord) conjuncts mars( 3rd+8th lord) in 9th house, then what is the result of this yuti. which planet becomes shubha and which becomes a shubha?

II Similarily if mercury( 1st+10th lord) conjuncts surya (12th lord) in 10th house, what will be result of such yuti???

Plz help . Also visti ji there is a lot of confusion in astro community regrading WHITE SAPPHIRE … is it a gem for brihaspati or gem for shukra ? In ur lectures somewhere i heard it represent s the rasi PISCES. does that mean shukra gets exalted due to this and guru gets strengthened too.

DEEPAK N.

Thanks for the reply.May be thats in theory.But in my real life it was the opposite.may be it may grant good health to spouse.but i faced strife and emotional trauma.I dont know whether its Sun in the 7th or the 7th lord venus(retrograde)in 8th along with 8th lord mercury .Is it the Rahu in the 9th(general fortune)?Awaiting your valuable insight in to this.As prescibed would also like to know about the size of golden eggs to be offered for Rahu in 9th.

Sincerely,

Vijay Mohan

kindly do tell us that is it mandate to put off gems during intercourse and is it mandate not to attend the funeral while wearing gems and is a requirement to recharge the gem stone periodically-or kindly do tell the rules to keep gems fully powerful ….Thanks ..aredaman

Sorry I could not post this query through the “Lecture on remedies” topic:
Would appreciate if you can help me how to work out the remedy for my chart, What i would want to know is how should i handle the MKS of Guru (3rd) & Rahu (9th).
I have aquarius lagna and my mars is also in debilition.
1) Should i take that Jupiter will destroy the 2nd and 11th house signification and Rahu will destroy the lagna signification. Mecury in 4th will this cause also cause an MKS

2) Will the night birth take Rahu out of MKS.

3) Also the venus the badhaka is with Guru.So will this venus affect the significations of Guru or will Rahu sitting in afflict the 9th house and take the role of badhaka.

4) Saturn(6th conjuct with Mars) and Rahu (7th) aspecting Jupiter in 3rd can this be termed as a brahmin shaapa. If so what would be its remedy.

I need your serious attention on few of queries about my wife’s mental and physical health. She has been suffering from mental cleanliness related phobias and urine infections, vaginitis, weak pelvic muscles. We have been going to doctors and everything comes normal but she is still in the very bad condition. Both of her problems go hand in hand because her chronic vaginal issues (i.e. infections/continuous discharge and her urethra ligaments are getting weaker day by day), she is always occupied in those phobias thoughts. Nothing is really helping. Please review her chart and let me know the followings:

a) Will this end some day?
b) Is this something to do with black magic or external power? if yes? what would be the best remedy?
c) Wearing any stone would help? Please let me know type, weight and what finger to wear in?
d) Any Mantra remedy?

Several astrologers recommend that I wear Emerald and Diamond/Zircon. Others suggest that Emerald is NOT GOOD because Mercury (benefic but retrograde and combust) is in (7)Pisces conjunct with Sun (neutral) and Ketu (neutral). As a Jyotish student I feel frutrated about my gems remedy. Can you advise?

Thanks for kindly reply.

Refer to the lecture on this: http://www.srigaruda.com/2007/03/11/lecture-on-remedies/

Pathik
Do refer to these lectures:
http://www.srigaruda.com/2006/02/25/charakaraka/
http://www.srigaruda.com/2006/03/04/naisargikakaraka/
And make a search for ‘karaka’ on this site to learn more.

Deepak N
You need a better reason than the ‘current dasa’ to make a decission regarding a gemstone. Make sure you go through the MP3 given on the website.

Shankar and Natasha
Refer to my comments above to Jyotsina.

Vijay Mohan
So you are Scorpio lagna with Mercury and Venus in eighth house and Rahu in ninth. Are you sure that the placement of Venus in the eighth is a major problem? It guarantees good health to spouse because of the strength of Mercury. Do not wear the gemstone of a maraka.

Aredaman
Normally activation of ANY planet in an Upachaya is strongly warned against. The Upachaya shows the intellect of man which it acts on WITHOUT the blessings of God. Its our free will and malefics in these houses make us TAKE from the world and benefit, but this adds to our balance of bad karma.

For Gemini lagna Ketu’s stone is not advised normally, as Ketu gets debilitated in Gemini’s sign. But, in your case Ketu in the third is removing the papaargala of Saturn on the lagna, whose placement in the eleventh in debility is not auspicious.
So for that reason it can act auspiciously.
As an additional note. Do not wear gemstones of the second, third or eighth houses in the Somanatha Drekkana. Ketu is lord of fifth and placed in fifth in the S3 which is good in your chart.

Sandhya
Venus in third causes Bhagya yoga. A diamond would be BEAUTIFUL for you to wear. Your anxiety arises from you not accepting ‘Venus’ in your life. Ladies should not wear the red ruby, but instead the pink ruby, as this is easier for their constitution.

Megha
You risk Rajbhanga yoga by wearing a Blue Sapphire. Best overall remedy would be to wear an Emerald on the middle finger of right hand, installed in gold metal.
I would not recommend Blue Sapphire on neither left nor right hand for you.

Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen

I am Meghashree from Bangalore. I was born on Oct 31st,1983 at 12:50pm in the afternoon. Someone had suggested me to wear the Blue sapphire on my right hand middle finger. Then someone told me not to wear it at all. Then someone else told me to wear it on my left hand ring finger. I am very confused.

can you please advise if i can wear it or not.

thanks and Regards,

Megha.

Sir after lot of thought and studies I came to conclusion ,that why feeroza suited me ,as per astrology the third house is known as The 3rd house is an UPACHAYA or growing house, this means that planets in the 3rd house grow stronger and more prominent as the year’s goes by. It also means that malefic planets (SUN, MARS, SATURN, RAHU, AND KETU) are well placed in the 3rd house and give primarily good results. The 3rd house corresponds to an air sign GEMINI and is therefore a KAMA house relates to desires. And in my horoscope the ketu is placed in 3rd house and as per astrology the gem stone for ketu is cat eye and substitute gem is feeroza , and further as per ketu rahsi daresti ( as being head less body having no eyes ) i.e. 3 &7 &10 it is aspecting my important houses . so it may be due to feeroza I am experience good days while bearing feeroza . sir if I am right then suggest me can a topaz and cat eye we wear by me.As per astro ketu and brahspatey is no enemy of each other ..

AREDAMAN…..

hope a trip to India has remain very enjoyable however it is sad for your relative demise , sir can i will wear the ketu gem as this malefic is in third house and any malefic in third will give material success ….

Namaskar,

Venus(retrograde) as the 7th and 12th lord in 8th house.Mercury 8th lord in 8th house.Sun -10th lord in 7th house.I dont know whether this Venus is combust.But we can definitely infer that 8th house energy affecting 7th lord Venus is definitely harmful.Should we remedy this by empowering Venus with a gemstone or yantra.please kindly suggest the appropriate way to make the 7th house healthy.

Hello, how are you? I was participating in another blog spot and someone there recommended that I consult you because I may have Kaal Sarp in my chart. Some people think that the Kaal Sarp is cancelled since Mars is conjunct with Rahu and Mars is in less degrees than Rahu, meaning it is outside the chain Rahu and Ketu create. Also my ascendant is outside of Rahu and Ketu axis as well. Some people think I do have Kaal Sarp. In any case, I was hoping you could give me your opinion on this. Also, if I do have Kaal Sarp or Kaal Amrita, could you please recommend a remedy of some form to correct this? And is this Kaal Sarp malefic? I have been told by another astrologer as well as a palmist that there is success in my future, and that the bad times would come to an end. Do you think this is true? My birth details are as follows:

(1) What are the different karakas for different houses?
(2) Do different houses have their fixed lords, apart from the lords that zodiac placements signify, which are variable?
(3) What do DK, BK, PK, GK, MK mean?

Thanks for clarifying. Regards.
