Combination Gems
It has been experienced that many times after a gem is prescribed after due considerations, it does not give desired results or gives adverse results. There can be many reasons for this.
• The gem has been prescribed in wrong mahadasa and antardasa.
• The gem has given boost to those areas of horoscope where the connected planet aspects and are negative in nature.
• The gem is concerned with a planet, which is part of a wrong yoga in horoscope.
These reasons are just illustrative. There can be many other reasons. Many times even a competent astrologer is not aware of some of the areas, which are influenced by a particular planet for a native, and the effect of a particular yoga in the horoscope and the effect of a gem connected to the planet placed in that yoga. This is the reason that the dynamic prescription is very important. This system takes action to minimize the adverse effects by prescribing some other stone to overshadow the ill effects. This is called combination stones.
The combination stones are also prescribed to give boost to certain good yogas present in the horoscope. Some times Raj yogas present in a horoscope are dormant. They can be made active by using combination gems for the planets involved in the yoga. Similarly, DHANYOGAS and other auspicious yogas can also be activated.
In practice, very few astrologers are using this combination stone prescription. But a well conversant astrologer uses them liberally for those people who consult him regularly. In this system, many times the stone for a weak planet can also be used in combination with other stones and the results can be remarkable. The reason being that the effects of the weak planet stones is also good for certain areas of horoscope. Only the ill effects on some areas of life affected by that stone have to be over shadowed with the combination gems. These principles can only be put to effective use only after a deep analysis of the birth chart of a native. Further, such use of gemstones should be regularly monitored as well to derive maximum benefits from it.
