Signs
Eternally fascinated by the uncertainty of the future, man has been
equally engrossed in various studies that allow a peek into the same.
Amongst the more significant ones is Astrology, a significant branch of
Aayur Ved, that scientifically studies planetary movements and their effect
on human constitutions and lives. Astrology is based on the concept that
each planet is intrinsically related to a specific body tissue and that
the various planetary movements and their positions in relation to time
exert powerful influences on your mind, body and consciousness, directly
affecting your physical and mental health. It is to be noted that Sun,
Raahu and Ketu are nodal points exactly opposite each other and are given
the status of planets according to the Indian system of Astrology. They
are important indicators of spiritual and / or materialistic tendencies.

Gemology
In exactly the same manner precious gemstones such as rubies, diamonds,
pearls, red corals, sapphires etc. can influence the effects of the
planets substantially. Although they can minimise the impact of planetary
afflictions, they should always be worn with care and on recommendation of
an experienced astrologer. For the wrong stone can aggravate the condition
and even cause fresh problems.
