RAHU–KETU REMEDIES USING GEMSTONES
A Deep, Safe, Non-Fear Based Guide for Modern Astrology Seekers
INTRODUCTION
Rahu and Ketu are the most misunderstood grahas in Jyotish.
They are shadows — chaya grahas — yet their effects are often stronger than the physical planets.
Their influence can bring:
- confusion
- mental restlessness
- sudden ups and downs
- karmic shifts
- instability
- fear of the unknown
- rapid rise or rapid fall
- obsessive thinking
But when handled correctly, Rahu and Ketu also become:
- agents of transformation
- clarity
- liberation
- intuitive awakening
- breakthroughs
- sudden growth
- detachment from illusions
Gemstones for these planets — Gomed (Hessonite) for Rahu and Cat’s Eye (Lehsunia) for Ketu — must be used carefully, respectfully, and only under specific astrological conditions.
This guide explains:
- who actually needs these stones
- who should NEVER touch them
- how to test them safely
- how they affect the mind and energy

- WHEN YOU SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THESE GEMSTONES
This is the most important section.
Gomed and Cat’s Eye are powerful — and can destabilize if used incorrectly.
5.1 Avoid Gomed if:
- Rahu is strongly benefic and already stable
- Rahu is in 1st, 5th or 9th (can cause ego rise)
- You’re prone to paranoia
- You experience hallucination-like stress
- There is family history of mental imbalance
- You’re in Moon mahadasha (opposite nature)
- Saturn is weak → Rahu becomes chaotic
- You’re undergoing emotional trauma
5.2 Avoid Cat’s Eye if:
- You’re emotionally fragile
- You have depression, numbness or detachment
- You’re already spiritually overwhelmed
- Ketu affects marriage or mental health
- You’re in Venus dasha (opposite nature)
- Mars is weak (Ketu increases impulsivity)
- You feel “empty” emotionally
- You’re currently in recovery from loss
Cat’s Eye is NOT for:
- those struggling with relationships
- those feeling isolated
- those prone to escapism
- those who overthink their purpose
Cat’s Eye increases detachment — which is dangerous in such situations.
- WHO SHOULD ABSOLUTELY AVOID BOTH?
- Children
- Pregnant women
- Highly emotional individuals
- People under psychiatric care
- Those with weak Moon
- Anyone in Moon mahadasha
- Those with addictions
- Emotionally unstable charts
- People with fear-driven personalities
- People who absorb energies too strongly
These stones amplify intensity.
- HOW TO TEST GOMED & CAT’S EYE SAFELY (CRITICAL)
Never wear immediately.
Always test.
Testing Method – The 72-Hour Pocket Protocol

- Carry it in your pocket for 72 hours
- Do NOT wear it

- mental state
- dreams
- anxiety or calmness
- comfort or discomfort
If You Feel:
- calm
- grounded
- focused
- clearer
Then it is safe.
But If You Feel:
- heavy
- dizzy
- confused
- emotionally disturbed
- anxious
- scared
- irritated
STOP immediately. Do NOT wear.
Cat’s Eye Additional Test
Place it under the pillow for ONE night.
If dreams feel disturbing — drop it.
