What are the qualities of Diamond?

Diamond is one of the nine gemstones that is recommended in astrology for its benefits. It is the gemstone of the planet Venus that is worn for good love relationship, marital bliss and compatibility among partners. Venus as a planet is the significator of human desires.

As we all know, diamond is every woman’s dream and passion – but, according to Vedic Astrology, every sign cannot wear diamonds!

Astrological advantages of wearing Diamond

• Venus is the planet that rules over love and relationships, beauty, creativity and attraction towards the opposite-sex. When Venus is either debilitated or not well placed in the natal chart, diamond is recommended by astrologers to help the individual overcome the feeling of inferiority and boost their self-confidence.
• Those who are in the creative fields - singers, artists and writers - often face a period of stagnation and are unable to express themselves efficiently through their respective mediums. They are sure to benefit if they wear diamond with the advice of astrologers.
• There are also health benefits for a person if they wear a diamond.
• Diamond worn as a ring or as pendent can block any negativity in life.
• Those who have the tendency to overthink, are anxious or have a bad temper can find mental peace and tranquility by wearing diamonds.
• Diamond is associated with materialistic comforts and luxury; and its association with the planet Venus can bless the person with abundance in materialistic comforts.

How and when should a Diamond be worn?

• The first important fact to keep in mind is that it should be worn with appropriate weight and should be of good quality. You should always wear gemstones with advice from a good astrologer. Diamond should be worn to enhance the strength of Venus if it is weak or not well placed in your horoscope.
• The diamond should be transparent or colorless without any surface crack or spots. The ideal weight of the diamond should vary from half carat to 1.5 carat for astrological benefits. Diamonds less than 0.30 carat will not deliver any beneficial astrological results.
• The diamond can be placed in a ring made of silver, gold or platinum as per your convenience. Men can wear the ring in the middle finger of the right hand and women can wear the diamond ring in the ring finger of the left hand.
• It is very important for the diamond ring to be energized before it is worn. You can energize it by chanting the Mantra of Venus – Om, Draam Dreem Droum Sah Shukraye Namah – 108 times on a Friday morning of any Shukla Paksha (new moon). Keep the ring in sacred water for the night. After energizing the diamond ring with mantra recitation, take it out of the water and wear it on the finger as prescribed above. Diamonds start showing positive effects within 7-30 days of wearing the ring.
