What is Rashi Ratan? Understanding Vedic Astrology Gemstones

Rashi Ratan, also known as birthstones in Vedic astrology, are powerful gemstones recommended based on your zodiac sign (Rashi) to enhance positive planetary influences and reduce negative effects. Each gemstone corresponds to a specific planet and can bring prosperity, health, success, and protection when worn correctly.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore which gemstone is perfect for your zodiac sign and how to choose authentic, certified rashi ratan for maximum benefits.

How Rashi Ratan Works: The Science Behind Gemstone Astrology

According to Vedic astrology, planets emit specific cosmic rays that influence our lives. Gemstones act as receptors and transmitters of these planetary energies. When you wear the right rashi ratan:

• It strengthens weak planets in your birth chart
• Balances planetary doshas (imbalances)
• Attracts positive energy and opportunities
• Provides protection from negative influences
• Enhances overall well-being and success
