Authority, Power, Self, Father, Body and Health. Depending
on the placement of Surya in your birth chart, the wearing
of a ruby may be very auspicious in strengthening the
positive influences of Surya.
Surya, the Sun acts like the thalamus in the human physiology.
The Sun is the central focal point in the solar system
as is the thalamus in our body. All activity in the
solar system revolves around the Sun. In our physiology,
all activity is controlled and ordered by the thalamus.

harmony between inner and outer input, manages and executes
complex systems and enlivens activity in the brain while
guiding action. It signifies highest-order thinking

PEARL -
Moti
(for Moon)
More Info
|
Mukta or Pearl is the most valued of
the organic gems. A Pearl is a very special and exclusive

Chandra influences the Seasonal, Monthly and Daily Cycles
and Rhythms in the physiology and our emotions.
Chandra, the Moon, occupies a central role in the solar
system and in our physiology. This influence is represented
by the hypothalmus in our physiology which controls
our behavior, our emotions, our hormonal and reproductive
cycles and our body temperature. It nourishes the physiology
like a mother or queen and occupies a central place
in the centre of the brain with the thalmus. |
