Emeralds are associated with the planet Mercury, known as the planet of communication, intellect, and wisdom in Vedic astrology. Wearing a simulant emerald can help harness Mercury’s positive energies, enhancing mental clarity, communication skills, and overall intelligence.
Who Should Wear It?
- Gemini and Virgo Zodiac Signs: As Mercury rules these signs, individuals born under Gemini and Virgo can particularly benefit from wearing an emerald to amplify their natural attributes.
- Professionals: Those in fields requiring strong communication and intellectual skills, such as writers, teachers, lawyers, and businessmen, will find the simulant emerald beneficial.
- Students: Wearing an emerald can enhance concentration, memory, and learning abilities, making it an excellent choice for students.
- Public Speakers: For individuals who often engage in public speaking or performances, an emerald can help improve eloquence and confidence.
- Business Owners: Entrepreneurs can wear an emerald to attract prosperity, good fortune, and success in business ventures.
How to Wear It
- Purification: Cleanse the simulant emerald by soaking it in a mixture of water and raw milk overnight to purify it of any negative energies.
- Activation: On a Wednesday morning, place the emerald in a silver or gold bowl and chant the Mercury mantra, “Om Budhaya Namaha,” 108 times to energize the gem.
- Wearing: Set the simulant emerald in a silver or gold ring or pendant. For rings, wear it on the little finger or ring finger of your right hand. If wearing as a pendant, it should rest close to your heart, touching your skin.
- Timing: The most auspicious time to wear the emerald is during the Shukla Paksha (waxing moon phase) on a Wednesday morning, ideally during the Mercury hora (an astrological hour dedicated to Mercury).
Maintenance Tips
- Cleansing: Regularly clean the simulant emerald with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water to maintain its brilliance.
- Storage: Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches and damage.
