Which ratna suits me?
Life, punya and bhagya stones from your Lagna.
How this works
- We find your Lagna from the exact birth time and place, then the lords of the 1st, 5th and 9th houses.
- Each stone comes with where that graha sits in your chart, how it is traditionally worn, and any caution that applies.

Common questions
How is a gemstone chosen in Vedic astrology?
Commonly from the Lagna: the life stone belongs to the lord of the 1st house, the punya stone to the lord of the 5th, and the bhagya stone to the lord of the 9th. These three houses are considered supportive for every Lagna.
Which gemstone belongs to which planet?
Sun — ruby (manik); Moon — pearl (moti); Mars — red coral (moonga); Mercury — emerald (panna); Jupiter — yellow sapphire (pukhraj); Venus — diamond (heera); Saturn — blue sapphire (neelam); Rahu — hessonite (gomed); Ketu — cat’s eye (lehsunia).
Do I need an astrologer before wearing a gemstone?
It is wise, especially for strong stones like neelam. An astrologer also looks at where the planet sits, its strength and your current dasha, which a Lagna-based guide cannot.
