Citrine in Jyotish
Citrine (Sunela) is worn to strengthen Guru when that planet supports your birth chart, and it is traditionally chosen for optimism, prosperity and support for Guru. Because a gemstone strengthens its planet, it is chosen from the birth chart, ideally the lagna, and not from the rashi alone. See the Guru remedies for other remedies of Guru.
How citrine is traditionally worn
- Finger: the index finger.
- Metal: gold or silver.
- Day: Thursday, in Shukla Paksha, in the morning after bathing.
- Mantra: Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Gurave Namah, chanted 108 times before wearing.
How to choose a citrine
- Natural citrine is pale to golden yellow; much citrine on the market is heated amethyst, so check the certificate.
- Fix the weight with your astrologer. A common trade measure is 1 ratti = 0.91 carat.
- A clean stone of moderate weight is preferred over a large stone with heavy inclusions.
- Buy with a lab certificate. For a stone matched to your chart, consult Pt. Rahul Kaushl.
