Pearl in Jyotish
Pearl (Moti) is worn to strengthen Chandra when that planet supports your birth chart, and it is traditionally chosen for a calm mind, emotional balance and good sleep. Because a gemstone strengthens its planet, it is chosen from the birth chart, ideally the lagna, and not from the rashi alone. See the Chandra remedies for other remedies of Chandra.
How pearl is traditionally worn
- Finger: the little finger.
- Metal: silver.
