Who Should Wear a Gomed Gemstone as per Vedic Astrology?

“Vedic astrology is a divine science that reveals the cosmic dance between destiny and free will”. It not only warns us about the challenges we may counter but also about their remedies, provided we listen to it. One of the ways to help us overcome challenges and enhance positivity in life is to wear a gemstone.
“Like the planets that govern the cosmos, gemstones are believed to govern the energies within us, and wearing them is said to align us with celestial harmony and blessings.” One of the most prominent of them, which people wear to escape from the Dasha of Rahu – one of the most notorious planets, is Gomed. Also called Hessonite Garnet, it is linked to the planet Rahu.

Side Effects of Wearing a Gomed
Hessonite, or Gomed stone, is in coordination with Rahu, which is malefic. Thus, by wearing the stone without following proper guidelines and principles, an individual can face consequences such as:
- If it is placed in the wrong location, it is malefic for the wearer. It will bring obstacles and challenges to his life.
- Also, Gomed brings bad results when Rahu is placed in the 6th, 8th and 12th houses.
- It is generally believed that wearing a multi-coloured gemstone can cause financial and health problems for the wearer.
- Similarly, wearing one with dark spots increases the chance of accidents with close ones.
- Wearing Gomed stone, or any other gemstone for that matter, brings results depending on the position of the planet and the moon in the horoscope, be they fruitful or disastrous. So, before wearing one, it is always better to check the position of the planets since a bad position will increase the challenges a person faces.
