Navagraha Crystals

The nine planetary forces of Vedic astrology — and the crystals traditionally worn for each.

The Navagraha are the nine planetary forces of Vedic astrology — seven visible (Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Brihaspati, Shukra, Shani) plus two shadow planets (Rahu and Ketu). Each governs a distinct field of human life and corresponds to a colour, a day, a metal, and a family of crystals. Wearing the right Navagraha crystal strengthens the corresponding planet's grace in the birth chart.

How to use

Identify which planet your birth chart asks you to strengthen (or which needs softening, in the case of Shani, Rahu, Ketu). Wear that planet's crystal as a bracelet, mala, or pendant. Day of wearing matters: Sunday for Surya, Monday for Chandra, and so on. Cleanse monthly under moonlight or sage smoke. For multi-planet chart needs, a Navagraha bracelet (nine-stone) addresses all nine.
