Are you sabotaging yourself with jewelry that lowers your frequency?

Vedic Astrology understands that each planet has a gemstone that carries its frequency. The right gem can strengthen planetary energy, but the wrong gem can amplify problems.

Ayurvedically speaking, some gems warm, others cool. Some gems help reduce or lighten, others help nourish and strengthen. This Ayurvedic wisdom corresponds to the Jyotish, or Vedic Astrology, view that gemstones, and color more generally, can be an Upaya, a remedy.

☀️ Ruby for the Sun: encourages strength, vitality, self-confidence | Secondary: Red Garnet, Red Spinel

🌙 Pearl for the Moon: nurturing, soothing, calming, cooling | Secondary: Moonstone

🔴 Red Carnelian for Mars: energy, action, determination, courage | Secondary: Bloodstone

💚 Emerald for Mercury: clarity, intelligence, communications, negotiations, problem-solving | Secondary: Peridot, Green Tourmaline

💛 Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter: growth, opportunity, spiritual expansion, dharma, higher wisdom, flow | Secondary: Citrine, Golden Topaz

💍 Diamond for Venus: love, beauty, relationships, nature’s delights, wealth | Secondary: White Sapphire, Zircon, Clear Crystal, Opal

💙 Blue Sapphire for Saturn: structure, discipline, boundaries, commitment, accrued wisdom | Secondary: Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli

✨ This is not comprehensive, just an introduction.

Like all “medicines” we must proceed with respect. I’ve seen many cases where a person wearing a stone that is not beneficial, was experiencing mishap. Simply removing the gem brought relief.

You don’t just look at the list and say I want this. You have to look at your chart.

How do you know? You can run a chart (free chart calculator linked in my bio), but really, it requires a skilled Jyotishi.

The premise behind Ayurbeda is that nature heals, and deep relaxation is the necessary ingredient for the deepest healing. That, obvious Cole sin places where we feel safe and where we can truly, fully, completely turn off.

Right now Jupiter is transiting Punarvasu, the star of rear, restoration, rejuvenation. On June 8, Venus, the planet of love and beauty Jin’s Jupiter in Punarvasu. This is a very sweet conjunction, where Jupiter also rules this star and is exalted in Cancer.

It is a good time to rest, to surrender into the love, beauty and deep nourishment of Nature. The universe has got your back.

With love,
Laura

Full Moon in Anuradha, Scorpio
May 31, 2026, 1:45am PT | 9:45am UTC

Anuradha is described as a spark, the spark that lights the heart, that ignites the devotion that fuels spiritual transformation. It feels deeply, sees clearly, loves strong.

Anuradha is a Devic Nakshatra ruled by Mitra, the lord of friendship, giving affection, humility, tenderness, empathy and devotion.

One of the symbols for Anuradha is the lotus flower. Humbly aware of “roots in the mud,” the lotus is light-seeking, rising through the waters to float and bloom under sun.

It speaks to me of the deep emotional waters Anuradha navigates, often in solitude, yet always surfacing again with a heart willing to open and bloom.

Anuradha sits in the middle of Scorpio, where the moon is said to be “in its fall.”
A full moon here can be a tender time, with sudden feelings of grief, isolation, even the illusion of unworthiness.

Scorpio is brave though - unafraid to meet the tender, the unmet, unwanted parts of our self, so we can heal with the waters of compassion.

It’s a great time to curl up with your best pal, or get with your close buddies, share from the heart, and let yourself feel how divinely nourishing friendship can be.

Even more, this is a time to deepen into your friendship with nature, and with your own divine nature, to feel the sacred, sumptuous self within.

This full moon invites devotion. Divine friendship. Soulful healing. Spiritual depth.

✨ Note: The Sun lighting the moon full is in Rohini, the star of Krishna. Anuradha means following Radha, or in the style of Radha.

So this full moon is a cosmic dristhi of Krishna and Radha, or the Lover and the Beloved. It is a beautiful time to meditate on love, on devotion, on beauty, and to ask, how am I a part of this fullness? How am I a part of this beauty? How can I bring this more and more into the light and live this divine relationship always?

I live on this Rohini-Anuradha line and am finding this full moon to be very sweet. No rushing, no doing, just being, loving, enjoying.

I wish you that same sweet fullness ✨

“Look at Beauty’s gift to us. Her power is so great she enlivens the earth, the sky, our soul.”

Mirabai, known also as Meera, was a 16th-century mystic poet and one of the most important poet-saints of the Bhakti movement.

Born to a royal family in what is modern-day Rajasthan, Mirabai dedicated her life to Sri Krishna. Her songs of devotion were legendary, and continue to inspire to this day.

Mirabai chose devotion over pomp and privilege, at times to the point of persecution.

Stories tell of Mirabai leaving the kingdom to spend her later years on pilgrimage. It is said that at the end of her life she miraculously merged, disappeared, into an idol of Krishna.

Sure, there’s a lack of historical evidence, but how does a merging with Krishna leave historical evidence?

It is known only by the invisible, intangible immortalizing experience of Beauty.

Jupiter moves to the sign of Cancer, where it is exalted, on June 1st.

Jupiter is like the cosmic sea. Cancer is ruled by the moon who governs the tides. Together they invite us to an experience of ourselves, of life, that is tidal, rhythmic, flowing, oceanic even.

You are being invited to a greater vision of what life is, and a greater sense of what you belong to.

But, it being watery, there may also be big emotions, heart surges, deep longing.

Jupiter in Cancer is not about ascending to avoid. Jupiter demands truth as a portal to freedom.

✨ Your body is mostly water. Ride its waves, swim in its depths. Cultivate Ojas and you will have everything you need to receive its gifts, and live this with grace.

✨ A beautiful way to align with this energy is through poetic contemplation. Read the poetic excerpts above and ask yourself how does this feel in my bones? What would it feel like to live this every day? When I stare at the ocean, what do I feel? When I stare at the night sky, what do I feel? What is that inner knowing within me? How do I access it more fully? How can I live more and more from that place?

✨ “Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean” is pure Jupiter.

✨ Read my previous post on Jupiter’s upcoming transit for more info, including ways to invite this energy in.

Rumi understood what this transit offers. That fullness. That trust. That oceanic knowing.
and get it too.

I hope you receive the wisdom, growth, ocean presence and blessings.
