Gemstone Astrology

Gemstone astrology, also known as planetary gem therapy or astrological gemstone therapy, is an alternative healing practice that involves the use of gemstones to harness and balance the planetary energies that influence an individual's life. This practice is rooted in the belief that specific gemstones are associated with particular planets and can be used to enhance the positive influences of those planets while mitigating their negative effects. In Hebrew, this practice is referred to as ריפוי אבני חן אסטרולוגי (Rifui Avnei Chen Astrologi). Similarly, in Sanskrit, it is known as रत्न विज्ञान (Ratna Vigyana), and in Arabic, it is called علم الأحجار الكونية (Ilm al-Ahjar al-Kawniyah). The practice has historical roots in various cultures, including Vedic astrology in India, where it is often used in conjunction with Jyotish (Vedic astrology) to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Practitioners of gemstone astrology typically consult an astrological chart to determine the most beneficial gemstones for an individual based on their birth chart and current planetary transits.
