Prescription by a qualified Astrologer --- RECOMMENDED The most specific method is based on the prescription by a qualified Astrologer.

The system takes into account various astrological factors before prescribing the gemstone. This is recommended system as it leaves almost nothing to chance and tries to factor in all aspects before prescription. The steps involved in this system are discussed below, but it should be kept in mind that a qualified Astrologer is a prerequisite to make use of this system. Step 1 - The Lagan is looked at first and then the lord of ascendant is checked for its auspiciousness in the Rasi and Navamsa chart.

Step 2 - Then the position of the planet ruling the Mahadasha (Major Planetary Period) is checked. Sometimes the ruling planet of antardasha is also factored in.

Step3 - Then the Moon rasi is checked and the lord of Moon sign is checked for auspiciousness.

Step 4 - Then the Janma Nakshatra is checked including the lord and its depositor for auspiciousness.

Step5 - Next all the nine planets are examined in rasi chart to see their strengths.

Step 6 - Then the sign ownership of various planets is also given due consideration.

Step 7 - The Navamsa chart has to be studied for all the factors simultaneously as it will pinpoint many hidden facts, which are overlooked by looking at the Rasi Chart.

Step 8 - Then the chalit chart should also be made to see if a planet changes its position house wise. If it does, then it should be invariably taken into account.

The above system when used by qualified astrologer will give clear indications about the type of gemstone to be prescribed for a native. Normally the stones are prescribed for strengthening the planets, which results in beneficial effects. The natives, who remain in touch with their astrologers as a counselor, derive more benefits. In such cases, the astrologer is able to prescribe gemstones for a particular period only to derive the maximum benefits of it. Then that gemstone is not used and another gemstone is prescribed for further period. This dynamic way of prescription is actually very beneficial and is gaining ground in modern times. Logically, some

of the gemstones interfere with the cosmic effects of other gems also and thus are in conflict. Under such circumstances, this dynamic prescription of gemstones is very useful as the astrologer can derive benefits for the native from various gemstones at different points of time, without any negative effect of the conflict of gems.
