Wearing a Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) in Vedic astrology is associated with the planet Jupiter (Guru) and is believed to bring wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.

In Vedic astrology, gemstones are believed to have the power to influence planetary energies and bring about positive changes in an individual’s life. These astrological gemstones are often recommended based on the analysis of an individual’s birth chart or horoscope. Here are some guidelines on how to wear a Yellow Sapphire:

1. Consult a Vedic Astrologer:
   • Before wearing any gemstone, it is crucial to consult with a qualified Vedic astrologer. The astrologer will analyze your birth chart (horoscope) to determine whether wearing a Yellow Sapphire is suitable for you based on the position of Jupiter and other factors.
2. Check for Afflictions:
   • Jupiter should be a beneficial planet in your birth chart, and there should be no major afflictions or negative aspects associated with it. If Jupiter is debilitated or afflicted, wearing a Yellow Sapphire may not be recommended.
3. Selecting a Quality Yellow Sapphire:
   • Choose a high-quality, natural Yellow Sapphire. Look for a clear, vibrant yellow color with good transparency. A genuine Yellow Sapphire is believed to have positive effects, while synthetic or flawed stones may not provide the desired benefits.
4. Purification and Activation:
   • Before wearing the Yellow Sapphire, it is advised to purify the gemstone. This can be done by dipping it in a mixture of raw milk and pure water and then energizing it with Vedic mantras or Jupiter-related chants.
5. Metal for Setting:
   • It is common to set the Yellow Sapphire in a gold or panchdhatu (an alloy of five metals) ring, as these metals are associated with Jupiter. The ring should ideally be worn on the index finger. While men can wear it in their right hand, women can wear it in either of their hands preferably left hand.
6. Wearing on Specific Days and Times:
   • The Yellow Sapphire is often recommended to be worn on a Thursday, the day associated with Jupiter. Additionally, wearing the gemstone during Jupiter’s Hora (an hour dedicated to Jupiter) is considered auspicious.
7. Energizing the Gemstone:
   • Before wearing the Yellow Sapphire for the first time, it is recommended to energize it with specific mantras. This process is known as “Pran Pratishtha” and involves invoking the energy of Jupiter into the gemstone.
8. Regular Cleaning:
   • To maintain the effectiveness of the Yellow Sapphire, it should be regularly cleaned. Use a soft brush and mild detergent to clean the gemstone, and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals.
9. Astrological Check-ups:
   • Periodically consult with your astrologer to ensure that wearing the Yellow Sapphire continues to be beneficial based on changes in your astrological influences.

It’s important to note that while gemstones are believed to have positive effects in Vedic astrology, individual experiences may vary. It is always recommended to follow the guidance of a qualified astrologer and to approach the use of gemstones with respect for cultural and personal beliefs.
