How is your lucky gemstone chosen?
In Vedic astrology the most reliable life stone is the gem of your lagna (ascendant) lord — the planet that represents you. Enter your birth date, time and place and the tool finds your lagna, its ruling planet and the matching stone, with the metal, finger and day to wear it, and the stones to avoid.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a gemstone by rasi or by lagna?
Most classical astrologers recommend the lagna lord's stone because it strengthens the planet that rules your whole chart. Rasi-based stones are a simpler, more general guide.
Can a wrong gemstone cause problems?
Strong stones such as Blue Sapphire or Hessonite can also amplify difficult planets. If in doubt, consult an astrologer with your full chart before wearing them.
Does the stone need to be natural?
Traditionally yes — a natural, untreated stone of good clarity, worn touching the skin, is considered effective.
