Sun being the lord of the fifth house represents everything that is benign in the chart. The representative gemstone of Sun is red Ruby. The minimum weight that is required for a red Ruby to become effective is five Carats.

Bigger is always better. This should be set in a gold ring, and worn on the ring finger of the right hand. The setting of the gemstone should be such that it touches the skin and trickle charges the body. Such a ring will bring about freedom from all types of health issues connected to stomach. It would bring increased favors from the government. All children related matters will get a significant boost. A Ruby ring will also bring about an increase in good fortune.This ring should be worn on a Sunday falling within five days of Purnima or the full Moon day. The ring should be washed in Milk and water mixture and then patted dry. It should be then dipped in Turmeric powder and kept aside. On a silver or stainless steel plate make the Surya Yantra as given below with a mixture of Roli and water.After it dries, place the Ruby ring on the Yantra and offer it incense and a lighted lamp. Chant the Surya Mantra 108 times and then wear the ring on the ring finger of the right hand.

ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं सः सूर्याय नमः

OM HRAAM HREEM HROM SAHA SURYAYE NAMAH

This procedure mentioned above is called Pran Pratishtha or infusing the ring with energy and should be done every two years.

The favorable results of the Ruby become apparent with in the first forty days. Digestion improves, Children begin to do well and there is a distinct improvement in the relationship with the bosses. Any work or project which is snarled up in the bureaucracy becomes tangle free and moves forward.

Moon

Moon becomes the lord of the 4th house and represents happiness, mother, home, vehicles and chest area. Boosting the power of Moon through a Pearl will give peace of mind and mental power. Mother’s health will improve and the general happiness in the family shall increase. The fourth house also rules over lungs and a Pearl will improve the lung function. The minimum weight for astrological purposes is five Carats. The Pearl should be set in a silver ring and worn on the little finger of the right hand.

On such a Tuesday, make the following Yantra on a silver or stainless steel plate with Roli and water mixture. Allow it to dry and then place the ring on the Yantra.

Prosperity, wealth and fame will begin to increase. Any lingering problem of blood pressure and muscle atrophy will slowly vanish.

Mercury

Mercury becomes the lord of the third house of self confidence, leadership, younger siblings and longevity. He also becomes the lord of the sixth house which represents ill health, injury, debts, enemies and litigation. Strengthening Mercury will increase all factors mentioned above and so it should be done only after a thorough appraisal of the horoscope. If one suffers from Hernia, kidney disease, or asthma, boosting the power of Mercury through its representative gemstone Emerald will be desirable. This will also improve the health of the younger sisters.

An Emerald weighing at least five carats set in a gold ring and worn on the little finger of the right hand will prove beneficial. The gem should touch the finger. The ring should be worn for the first time on a Wednesday falling with in five days of the full Moon day.

He makes one lucky and spiritual. Such a person shall spend money on charity. A strong Jupiter shows that the younger brothers of the wife of the person are doing well.

Yellow Sapphire represents Jupiter and its minimum suggested weight is five Carats. It is mounted on a gold ring and worn on the index finger of the right hand. The best day to wear this gemstone is a Thursday falling with in five days of the full Moon Day. The ring should be washed with milk-water mixture, patted dry and then dipped in powdered turmeric. Make a Yantra with Roli-water mixture on a silver or stainless steel plate and let it dry. Then put the ring on the Yantra and offer a lighted lamp and burning incense.

With in forty days of wearing the ring, yellow Sapphire shall bring about favors from the bureaucracy. All matters pertaining to the state shall move forwards without a hitch. It is a must wear gem for those desiring political power. Strengthening of Jupiter through Yellow Sapphire will also boost wealth, good fortune and professional progress. Father’s affairs pick up and his health improves. It will also help in the marriage of an unmarried younger sister.

Venus
Venus rules over the second and seventh houses. Both houses are Marak or death inflicting houses. Venus shall however primarily give the results pertaining to the seventh house. Venus the karaka for wife also becomes the lord of the house of wife. Hence all influences on Venus and the seventh house are very telling in effect on the wife. A strong Venus and seventh house gives a beautiful, long living, graceful and accomplished wife. Weakness to these two gives opposite results. Venus in fifth or twelfth will make the native a sex addict. In a female chart if Venus and Saturn are strong, the husband becomes lucky and rich as both are Yoga Karaka for Libra which becomes the Lagna for the wife.

Strong Venus shall bring wealth and increased professional success. She becomes a complete and comprehensive representative of the wife in the case of a male chart. In female horoscope she represents the husband. Strengthening Venus shall definitely boost the health and prosperity of the spouse. Freedom from stuttering and an increase in the ability to speak well are some other results of strong Venus.

Diamond represents Venus and the minimum required weight of a diamond for astrological purpose is half Carat. Diamonds weighing less than that will not give any results. Two quarter Carat diamonds will not give the same results as a single half Carat one. Diamond is best set in a Platinum ring though white gold and even silver are also used. The diamond must touch the finger. The ring is worn on the middle finger of the right hand. A Friday falling with in five days of the full Moon day is ideal for wearing the diamond ring. Wash the ring with milk-water mixture and pat it dry. Make the following Yantra with Roli-water in a silver or stainless steel plate and let it dry. Then place the ring on the Yantra and offer burning incense and a lighted lamp. Chant the Venus Mantra 108 times and then wear the ring.

ॐ द्रां द्रीं द्रौं सः शुक्राय नमः OM DRAM DREEM DROM SAHA SHUKRAYE NAMAH.
The diamond ring will bring about a measurable change in the areas of spouse’s health and prosperity. It will help with the studies and weak eye sight. Those desiring success as a TV anchor must wear a diamond. People involved with foreign trade, import and export shall also be hugely benefited.

Saturn

Saturn becomes the ruler of the tenth and eleventh houses but his results shall pertain to the eleventh house of gains as the Mool Trikon Rashi falls in the 11th house. Strengthened Saturn shall increase monetary gains but this is a double edged sword as the 11th house is also the house of injury. In addition to this the problems connected to knees and calf shall also be cured.

Saturn is represented by Neelam or Blue Sapphire. It is worn in a Platinum, white gold or silver ring on the middle finger of the right hand.

The ring is worn on a Saturday falling within five days of the full Moon day. Wash the ring with milk-water mixture and pat it dry. On a silver or stainless steel plate make the Yantra given below.

ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः
OM PRAM PREEM PROM SAHA SHANAISH-CHA-RAYE NAMAHA
Saturn and Lagna Lord Mars are arch enemies; the Blue Sapphire ring should therefore be worn only after due deliberation. Haste can definitely cause waste in this case.

Courtesy Rahu, support from highly placed people will be helpful in resolving your problems. Rahu also gets you the cooperation and help of your friends. Increased income meets with increased expenses this year and there may be some tense moments. Demise of an elderly relative is possible. After June, a marriage and/or a childbirth makes for a festive atmosphere in the family. Do not allow the obstacles of the first half to make you lose heart as happiness and prosperity prevail after June.

Offerings of Mustard or sesame seed oil in a Shani temple will greatly reduce the negativity in your life.

Try not to micromanage the life of your family. Saturn in the 8th causes your ambitions and plans to meet with unexpected obstacles and these may not bear the desired fruits. You need to guard against accidents cause by your own absentmindedness. An accident involving a vehicle is not ruled out. Those suffering from a chronic illness or old age may find the going extremely tough. No matter what do not lend money to anyone this year. You may never see it again or get it back agonizingly slowly. Same is true for your possessions. Those in service may have a bumpy ride. Your job nay be terminated without any reason. Extreme caution is required.

Propitiation of Saturn will be very helpful.
