This blog highlights a complete guide on wearing a yellow sapphire stone. Whether you are wearing this gemstone for the first time or you are already wearing it but not getting the preferred benefits, this guide will help you understand the essential rules, benefits, and precautions associated with Pukhraj.  

What Is Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) in Astrology? 

Pukhraj in English is called yellow sapphire. It is the most powerful astrological gem, as it is responsible for offering you knowledge, wisdom, and success in life. In Vedic astrology, the Pukhraj stone is connected to the planet Jupiter or Guru.   

It is believed that if Jupiter Graha is the Lord of the good house but is situated in a weak position in a natal chart, the person faces challenges in their professional and personal life. During the bad phase of Guru Mahadasha, it is said that the person goes through financial instability and health issues.  Yellow Sapphire is the ultimate remedy for getting through the Mahadasha phase.   

Who Should Wear Yellow Sapphire? 

In astrology, not everyone can wear a yellow sapphire stone. This is because it is a powerful stone, and wearing it without an astrological consultation can lead to issues related to health and profession. You can wear a yellow sapphire stone if the Guru in your birth chart is: 

• Exalted 
• Placed with incompatible planets like Shani, Ketu, and Rahu 
• Weak and placed in 6, 8, and 12 houses
• Less in degree 
• If you are going through Guru Mahadasha 

Dhanu, Meen, Singh, and Vrishchik rashi can wear yellow sapphire stones in astrology. In astrology, Surya and Mangal are friendly planets of Jupiter, and hence zodiacs ruled by these planets can wear this stone. 

Besides, individuals who can wear this stone include:

• Women seeking a suitable life partner and favorable marriage prospects 
• Those facing conflicts in marriage 
• Students facing education-related issues due to weak Guru in the 5th house 
• Wealth is affected due to weak Jupiter in the 2nd house 

Who Should Not Wear Yellow Sapphire? 

Shani (Saturn) rashi (Kumbh, Makar), Budh rashi (Mithun, Kanya), Kark rashi (Cancer), Moon rashi (Aries, Scorpio) should not wear yellow sapphire stone.

How to Wear Yellow Sapphire Correctly 

The guidelines below can be useful if you seek Guru Ratna benefits in astrology. Let's explore each of these: Which Finger Should You Wear Yellow Sapphire On?  Often, people ignore the importance of the correct finger to wear a gemstone. However, one should know that each finger is linked to a specific planet. If this planet is the same or is friends with the one that governs the gemstone, the result is beneficial. In the case of Pukhraj, the correct finger is the index or Tarjanee finger. This finger is associated with the planet Guru.   

Thus, wearing a Jupiter stone ring on the index finger harnesses the powerful energy from the ruling planet and benefits the wearer immensely. Try to wear a yellow sapphire ring compared to bracelets and pendants. This is because each finger is linked to a specific planet, which makes it compatible with the gemstone’s energy. You can wear a yellow sapphire pendant if you are uncomfortable with the ring.
