300 years of sustained marketing and advertising have tried very hard to drill in the message that, Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and Diamonds are forever. Sagacious efforts have been made and billions of dollars spent to make Diamond as the Gemstone that stands for steadfast love and eternal romance.
Today Diamonds form a part of at least 85% marriage or engagement related jewellery in the west especially in the United States but the question is that are Diamonds worth the risk? True, they are precious, rare and durable but are those criteria enough to take a risk with your relationships. As per the sacred Indian Wisdom and ancient Vedic Astrology texts dating 5000 years Back, Diamond also known as Vajra in Sanskrit is the Gemstone of Venus who is also known as Daityaguru( Preceptor of the Demons) Shukrachrya.
This planet stands of Luxury, beauty, wealth but also for hedonism and pleasures of the flesh. As per sacred Indian Texts the planet that represents the Husband in the chart of a female is Jupiter who is the preceptor of Gods. This is the planet of auspiciousness, good fortune, divine knowledge and grace and if a female wears a Yellow Sapphire she has a happy married life and a harmonious relationship with the Husband. As per the traditions in India the Gemstones, Yellow Sapphire, Red Coral, Natural Pearl and the metal Gold are considered auspicious and they bless a female with fulfilling relationship with the spouse.
A Diamond since it represents Venus qualities may not always agree with the female physiology and psychology and hence a thorough analysis of the chart is essential before a female tries to wear a Diamond. Diamond boosts Venusian tendencies of hedonism and they may not exactly good for the relationship in fact that might be detrimental. A small statistical evaluation and comparison between the divorce rates in the west and India can be made and the truth will be out for all to see. One can wear Diamonds occasionally for parties, fashion and events but it should not be worn 24 hours 365 days unless and until recommended by an expert astrologer. Diamonds are not a girl’s best friend.
