The astrological powers of gemstones are derived from the special cosmic influences of their associated ruling planets. The term "planet" used in Sidereal astrology refers to a celestial body or "point" which has the property of attraction. Hence the Sun (a star), the Moon (a satellite of the Earth), and Rahu and Ketu (two points of concourse of orbits of the Earth and the Moon) are referred to under the somewhat forced name of "planets." Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and a host of others are considered to have no effect on human affairs. These move in the heavens with ranging velocities influenced by other forces. (Ref. Astrology For Beginners by B.V. Raman, Chapter I, Page 5). Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao states that "Men are continuously subjected to the influences of Planetary rays." These planetary rays are radiated as gravitational, electrical and magnetic energy fields which are transmitted as light waves. These light waves can be measured from their smallest part as fractional parts of a billionth of an inch, to ones which are billions of billions of miles in length. Each of the nine planets (nava-graha ) influences us according to its nature. Therefore, a knowledge of these planetary influences is essential to any understanding of gemstones and their powers. The ancient gemological texts of India explain that white light is actually composed of seven primary and two secondary colors blended together. The seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet; the other two colors are ultra-violet and infra-red. The seven primary colors become visible in the form of a rainbow whenever white light is defracted through a prism or rain drops. The two secondary colors always remain invisible. These nine colors are understood to be the cosmic matrix and very essence of the nine planets; and it is through these colors that the planets radiate their energy and influence. When the visible colored-light waves are measured, infra-red exhibits the longest wave length and ultra-violet, the shortest. It is important to note that the wave length of colored-light emanating from the nine planets is believed to match those radiating from each planet's corresponding gemstone(s). Among all the elements in nature, gemstones constitute the most condensed form of concentrated color. Gems provide an inexhaustible source of cosmic color rays. These planetary gemstone colors are described in this chapter under their ruling planet. The following is a list of the special influences exerted on human affairs by each of the nine planets along with the particular powers ascribed to their corresponding gemstones.

Sun

The Sun is the sovereign planet of the zodiac, furnishing the light and heat upon which all life depends.
