Astrologer Ashutosh: Kanupriya! you were born in Gemini (Mithun) ascendant and Taurus (Vrishabh) Moon-Sign. You are in Jupiter- Sun antardasha from 1st February 2024 to 19th November 2024. In your horoscope, Venus is placed with Sun and Mercury in the 5th house in Tula (Libra). Saturn is placed in the 7th house in Dhanu (Sagittarius). Mars-Moon are in Vrishabh (Taurus) in the 12th house creating a powerful Mangal dosha. Ketu-Jupiter are in the 2nd house in Cancer (Kark) and Rahu is in the 8th house in Makar (Capricorn).

You can wear a gemstone for Shani but I would not suggest you to wear a gemstone for Shukra. Opal is a gemstone for Venus (Shukra). Venus is fully combust and not so powerful and beneficial as it should be in its own sign in 5th house. Any gemstone worn for a weak planet does not make it stronger but enhances its harmful effects.

I suggest that you should wear only a gemstone for Saturn. And, initially, wear a superior quality amethyst, more than 15 carats in weight, in a silver pendant in a silver or gold chain. Then, after a few years, you can wear a Neelam (Blue Sapphire) of good quality in a silver ring or pendant.

Some other remedies for you which you can do instead of wearing a gemstone for Shukra -

1. Wear clothes more often of different shades of Blue, Green and Violet. Avoid wearing Black, Grey, Red and full White. Apply these colour related suggestions to your other things of day to day use.

2. Use a good perfume, preferrably natural ones. Keep fresh flowers in your room or keep plants with flowers in your room or house.

3. Avoid food and drinks which are too spicy or harsh in taste.

4. Do not stay awake till late at nights. Having proper sleep also enhances the powers of Venus.
