SATURN (Shani)
Saturn is a planet which
rules obstinacy, gambling, and chronic diseases. It
governs aging and death, yoga practice, foreign travel,
hunters and thieves. While malevolent by nature, when
properly placed or balanced Saturn can also induce great
virtues, such as compassion, charity, longevity,
meditative insight, and positive public influence.
When Saturn is exalted
one will be long-lived, charitable, lavish, proficient
and an affectionate mate. But if Saturn is weak in a
person's horoscope, one becomes vulnerable to headaches,
neuralgia, and other disorders of the nervous system, as
well as epilepsy, stupidity, and fainting. VIOLET is the
cosmic color transmitted by blue sapphires and other
natural blue to violet gems. Violet color waves are
related to Saturn, the planet which governs suffering
and poverty. Saturn also rules the entire nervous
system. Therefore, most diseases of the nerves, such as
neuroses and nervous tension may be caused by an
afflicted Saturn. Saturn being the slowest planet also
causes diseases of a chronic nature and can cause delays
if ill-disposed. Saturn Astral Talismans are known to
help strengthen a person's nervous system. They also
repel envy from others, avert demoniac influences,
provide protection against dangers during travel, make
one more serious and far-sighted, and induce mental
tranquility.
Saturn transmits its
cosmic energy through blue sapphires, blue spinels,
tanzanite, indicolite, iolite, amethyst and other
natural blue to violet gems with transparent clarity.
Only flawless gems possess the capacity to properly
transmit positive astral energy from Saturn.
NOTE: As Saturn is
incompatible with Sun, Moon and Mars, Saturn gems such
as blue sapphire should not be used with ruby, pearl or
red coral. Specifically designed talismans like the
Navaratna (nine gems setting) are an exception to this
principle.
The particular hue or
type of blue color recommended for each
social-religious-economic station of society are listed
as follows:
1) Religious
practitioners, scientists, educators and women should
use light blue;
2) Soldiers,
administrators, leaders and bureaucrats should use
violet blue;
3) Farmers, bankers and
traders should use greenish blue;
4) Servants, laborers
and workers should use gray to black blue.
