Diamond

The Gemstone of Venus - Symbolizing Beauty, Luxury, and Success

Diamond, known as Heera (हीरा) in Hindi, is one of the most precious gemstones that represents the love planet Venus (Shukra). Venus, in astrology, is often associated with love, beauty, luxury, and prestige. Thus, diamonds are a symbol of elegance and refinement. Throughout history, diamonds have been recognised quite highly and are often seen in the fingers of royalty and celebrities. Wearing a diamond is a mark of social status. In India, at marriage, every father gives a diamond ring to bride and groom as a symbol of love and luxury.

Venus: The Goddess of Love and Luxury

Astrologically, a diamond is ruled by Shukra Graha, whose lord is Shukracharya (Guru of Ravana). In life, a person requires love, beauty, sensuality, and a luxurious life. Diamonds represent luxury and prosperity. Those born under the astrological signs of Taurus (वृष) and Libra (तुला) are particularly drawn to this gemstone, as it aligns harmoniously with their innate traits and energies. In your birth chart, if the Venus position is good and auspicious but it has low power, then you should wear a diamond to harness the benefits of love, beauty, and luxury.

4C’s of the Diamond Cut, Color, Clarity & Carat weight:

Understanding Diamond Quality

Diamonds come in various qualities, and their value depends on the 4 Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight. Here's a quick overview:

• Cut: The quality of the diamond's cut determines how well it reflects light. A well-cut diamond will have better optical properties and a brighter sparkle compared to one with poor cut quality.
• Colour: Diamonds are graded on a scale from colorless to light yellow or brown. The less colour a diamond has, the higher its value.
• Clarity: Diamonds are evaluated based on the number and size of inclusions (internal imperfections). The fewer the inclusions, the higher the diamond’s clarity—and sparkle.
• Carat Weight: The size of the diamond impacts its price. One carat equals 100 points (cents). Larger diamonds typically cost more.

Premium quality diamonds are sourced from countries like the Central African Republic, Namibia, Angola, India, Canada, and South Africa.

Benefits of Diamond Gemstone

Wearing a diamond has numerous benefits, as it is associated with the planet Venus (Shukra), the ruler of love, beauty, luxury, and prosperity. The astrological benefits of wearing diamonds are:

• Increases Venusian Qualities: Wearing a diamond enhances the qualities of beauty, charm, love, and attraction, helping the wearer become more attractive, both physically and emotionally.
• Brings Prosperity and Wealth: Shukra (Venus) governs material wealth and financial stability. Diamonds are believed to attract prosperity, increase wealth, and bring financial success, making them beneficial for individuals looking to improve their financial situation.
• Harmonious Relationships in Life: Venus is the planet of love and relationships. Wearing a diamond is thought to improve romantic connections, bring harmony to marriages, and enhance emotional bonding between life partners.
• Gives a Charismatic Personality: Shukra governs charisma and confidence. Wearing a diamond can enhance one's self-esteem, making the individual more confident in social situations and increasing personal magnetism and charm.
• Boosts Creativity and Artistic Expression: Venus is also the planet of the arts and creativity. Diamonds are believed to stimulate the creative energies of the wearer, making them particularly beneficial for those in artistic fields like music, literature, and fine arts.

Who Can Wear Diamond?

Apart from being a symbol of beauty and luxury, diamonds also hold immense astrological significance. As per Vedic astrology, if the position of Venus is good or auspicious in your Lagna Chart but it has low power (degree), then a wearer can wear a diamond to increase the power of Venus to harness the benefits of love, beauty, and luxury.

Zodiacwise, Taurus (वृष) and Libra (तुला) are the most recommended zodiac signs for wearing diamonds, as they resonate with the energies of Venus.

Astrologically, diamond is believed to bring financial success, romance, prestige, and wealth into your life. People who seek enhancement in romantic relationships, who are artists, musicians, and creative individuals, and people who are looking for financial growth often wear diamonds.

Diamonds also influence health positively—especially for those suffering from sexual disorders, infertility, or issues related to the reproductive system.
