From the above discussion we can safely conclude
that the Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cencer, Leo, Virgo,
Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and
Pisces are governed according to seven gems, viz., coral,
diamond, emerald, pearl, ruby, yellow sapphire and
blue sapphire respectively.
In the cetegory of the above gems, two
gems, viz., hessonite (the Dragon's Head) and Cat's eye (the Dragon's
,
Tail) are not included. According to Indian astrology,
both the Dragon's Head (Rahu) and the Dragon's Tail
(Ketu) are shadow planets and as such have no zodiac
signs of their own, however, they have immense effect,
good and evil, on human life. A person affected by the
position (dastha) of the Dragon's Head or the Dragon's
Tail should wear hessonite for the Dragon's Head and
Cat's eye for the Dragon's Tail.

Hessonite
Hessonite is a representative gem of the Dragon's
Head. It is called by various names, viz., gomed, rahu
ratna, gomedak in Hindi and zircon in English. Its colour
is a little blackish red or of the colour of the cow's urine.
Scriptures prescribe it for curing the Dragon's Head-
related faults.
Its Birth
It takes birth in cynite rocks. From chemistry point
of view, it is a silicate of zirconium. It is not a costly gem,
therefore, is available easily. Its attractive colour and
attributes have enabled it to be placed in the list of nine-
gems.
In India, it is found in Kashmir, Kullu, Simla, Bihar ,
and Orissa. Abroad, it is found in Myanmar , Sri Lanka,
and Thailand. The Sri Lankan hessonite is considered to
be the best. It is of sharp red or cow's urine colour.
Attributes and Advantages of Wearing
Hessonite is a representative gem of the Dragon's
Head. Wearing it helps evade evil effects of the Dragon's
Head. From the medical point of view, it is considered
beneficial in nose- bleeding, fever, gastic, spleen, and all
kinds of stomach diseases.
It is said that its wearer has not to fear
about
enemies. It curbs enemies and conquers over them.
Perhaps it is due to this reason that it is prescribed for
people fighting law-suits. |
