Astrology and Minerals: How Gems Adjust Planetary Energy?
Many believe that choosing a gem according to planetary energy can change the course of events in life. When we wear certain gems at the right time, they can weaken or enhance the influence of active planets.
I think the influence of gems is subtle but tangible—they adjust our inner state, which, in turn, influences the decisions we make.
For example, if Saturn is indicating difficulties during a particular period, and Mercury can soften its effects (according to solar return and directions), Mercury stones can help minimize our inner tendency to get into trouble.
To choose gems correctly, it is essential to understand the events that a particular planet may bring at that moment. This is what we focus on in our predictive astrology course.
