Gold as per Astrology

According to astrology, each metal influences body in a different way. Gold is considered an auspicious metal, and known to possess energy that brings warmth & soothing vibrations to the body which aids healing. Ayurveda also has documented benefits of wearing gold on specific parts of the body. 

 

Indians are aware that each metal (like iron, diamond, gold etc.) has a connection to a particular planet. These planets influence our horoscopes and give good or bad results accordingly. As far as gold is concerned, there are some things you should be careful about while keeping gold at home or wearing its ornaments/jewellery on your body.

Don't wear gold during pregnancy

Pregnant ladies should avoid wearing gold. Wearing a small ring or earings won't harm, but too much gold may cause problems as this metal is known to generate heat and energy in the body.

To increase prosperity, do this

Keep gold in a red cloth or yellow (if red is not available). Keeping saffron (kesar) along with it attracts prosperity.

Where not to wear it

Don't wear gold around your waist. It can lead to digestion related problems and other diseases.

Gold and Vastu

To increase love in married life, wear gold ring in index finger and a gold chain around your neck.

When NOT to accept it

Jupiter & Sun are the planetary lord of gold. Thus, you can gift or make gold donations to your teacher, gurus, father or a brahmin. But don't accept gold if gifted by an enemy.

When not to wear it

People who are blacksmiths or deal in business related to iron should avoid wearing gold at work. Iron, whose lord is Shani is inimical to Sun & Jupiter, who are associated with gold

Where not to wear it

Don't wear gold on your feet. It will not only cause problems in married life, but also affect health. Next time remember not to buy a gold anklet!

Health effects of wearing gold

Wear a gold ring in little finger if you are suffering from cough or respiratory problems. People suffering from obesity, or who are short-tempered should avoid wearing too much gold.

Most auspicious metal

Gold in never considered inauspicious. According to scriptures, if a person returns from a cremation ground, then pouring water in which gold has been kept could cleanse him.
