A gemstone strengthens the planet it belongs to — which is exactly why the wrong stone can hurt. The choice must come from your own chart: which planet is functionally benefic for your lagna, its condition, and the running dasha. Dr. R.P. Sharma, practising since 1979, recommends a stone only when the chart genuinely calls for one — and says so plainly when it does not.
What the consultation determines
Whether any stone is indicated at all in your chart; which planet's stone, at what carat range; the correct finger, metal and day; the energisation and wearing muhurat; and the trial protocol the classical texts advise before a stone is made permanent. Substitutes (upratna) are discussed where the primary stone is impractical.
Already wearing a stone?
Bring it to the reading. Stones worn on a shop's suggestion or a rashi table are among the most common problems a chart review finds — sometimes the stone is right and only the finger or metal is wrong; sometimes it is feeding the wrong planet entirely and should come off. The consultation checks what you wear against what your chart actually asks for.
Honest by design
We sell guidance, not gemstones — there is no stone inventory here and no commission behind the advice. That is deliberate: the recommendation stays clean. For background, read the gemstone guide and stones by planet, or the wider remedies guide.
How the consultation runs
You share your birth date, exact time and place. The chart is examined for the lagna's functional benefics, the condition and dignity of each candidate planet, and the dashas running now and next — because a stone that suits this decade may not suit the one after. The recommendation arrives by call and in writing: stone, carat range, metal, finger, day and energisation muhurat, plus the classical trial protocol. If the honest answer is that no stone is needed, that is the answer you get — with the non-gemstone remedies that fit instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a gemstone consultation involve?
A gemstone consultation examines your birth chart to determine whether a planet is weak or afflicted in its own house or sign, and whether wearing its corresponding gemstone can strengthen it. We look at the 1st, 4th, 7th, 9th and 10th houses for vitality, peace, partnerships, wisdom and livelihood, and see which graha needs support through its stone and mantra.
For whom is an astrology consultation about education most helpful?
If your Mercury (Budh) is debilitated in Virgo, conjunct malefics, or poorly aspected by Saturn or Ketu, struggles in studies often follow. A focused session checks the 4th house of learning and the 5th house of intellect; if they show weakness, we prescribe specific remedies including mantra, light yellow sapphire if Budh is the lagna lord, and simple study routines.
Can astrology help with long-standing health issues?
Yes. The 6th house, Mars and Saturn show chronic health patterns; the Sun and Moon indicate vitality. If Mars is afflicted in Aries or Scorpio, or Saturn is strong in Libra or Capricorn, joint or digestive issues can persist. We correlate dashas and transits with your medical history, then recommend classical remedies: coral if Mars is weak, blue sapphire if Saturn is excessive, and timely dietary adjustments.
Is matchmaking astrology only for marriage, or for partnerships too?
It applies to all committed partnerships—marriage, business, and close alliances. The 7th house and its lord, Venus for men and Mars for women, plus the 2nd house of values, are examined. We match nakshatra compatibility, check the 7th lord’s dignity, and look for mutual aspects between the 7th and the 1st houses; where gaps appear, we suggest mantra, matching rituals or modest gemstone support.
How can astrology guide business decisions and new ventures?
The 10th house and its lord Saturn or Jupiter determine career success; the 2nd and 5th houses govern capital and speculative gains. If your 10th lord is weak in Pisces or Sagittarius, or debilitated Mars afflicts the 10th, business setbacks recur. We time major moves within your Mahadasha and Antardasha, recommend suitable yantras or mantras, and advise on partnerships and market sectors aligned with your rashis.
Do you offer Vastu consultation for homes or offices?
Yes. We review the layout through the lords of the 1st, 4th and 10th houses of the property chart and check the direction of the main entrance and treasury. Afflictions to Mars or Rahu in the northeast or southwest can bring health or financial strain. Remedies include recharging directions with colour, placing suitable plants, and simple vastu yantras without major structural changes.
Do you guide on numerology, name correction or palmistry?
My practice is rooted in classical Vedic astrology—jyotish uses grahas, rashis, bhavas and dashas, not numerology or palmistry. For name correction, we focus on the initial letters of your birth name in relation to your lagna and Moon sign, and suggest minor adjustments that align with the nakshatra rather than altering the name entirely.
When is a gemstone genuinely recommended, and how do you decide which one?
A gem is advised only when a planet is weak in its own sign or exaltation, placed in a dusthana (6, 8, 12) or heavily afflicted by Mars, Saturn or Rahu. Jupiter is strengthened by yellow sapphire, Venus by diamond, Sun by ruby, Moon by pearl, Mars by coral, Mercury by emerald, and Saturn by blue sapphire. We confirm through the planet’s dignity in the navamsha, current dasha, and the strength of the lagna before prescribing.
