Planets and Gems in Astrology
Gems have a special place in Astrology as an effective remedieal measure. The effect of gems can be elucidated on the basis of seven colours of spectrum. Each planet constitutes different colour of the spectrum. When any planet is favourable or unfavourable, the colour with regard to that planet gets efficient or deficient in our body. This deficiency or efficiency is noticed from the human behaviour. For example, if Mars get unfavourable then problems related to blood, occurrence of rashes, muscular trouble, accident, blood pressure and uncontrollable anger would get their prominence in the body. If coral is worn then these adversities of Mars will get reduced.
