Finger for Wearing Gems
Vedic Astrology lays down very strict rules for the
finger on which a Gemstone can be worn.
The index finger, known as the Tarjani, is considered
very inauspicious. It is the finger for expression of
anger. Each of the four elements, Fire, Earth, Water and
Wind/Air, are associated with each of the four fingers
on our hand, (the thumb is not considered) and this in
turn dictates the choice of finger for wearing a given
gemstone.
The following table gives the information about the
relationship between planets, gemstones and the fingers
on which the same are to be worn.
