Pearl for the Moon
How can the Moon affect your life?
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in the astrological chart. The moon represents the mind, emotions and disturbances related to the mind. Depression, anxiety, low self esteem, lack of confidence, phobias, insomnia, and other mental disorders may occur with an afflicted Moon. Health issues related to the Moon include seizures, blood disorders, and breast cancer.
How can a Pearl help?
If the difficulties you are experiencing are influenced by the Moon, then an astrological Pearl can help. With a pearl, you may see improvements with depression and anxiety, an overall happier view of yourself and the world. Negative feelings and issues with confidence, a fear of failure, and poor self esteem may decrease. Your awareness and thinking process may become more clear.
When is the best day to buy it?
Auspicious day: Monday (Sunday and Thursday are also favorable)
Another good time to buy a pearl is when the Moon is exalted, in the sign of Taurus, or in its own signs of Cancer. You can also look for the Moon to be waxing and being in good Nakshatras–Rohini, Hasta and Sravana.
Setting
The setting should be silver.
It should be worn on the 4th finger of either hand or as a pendant.
Finding the right stone
The stone should be 4-6 carats.
Most pearls in the market are pierced to set. Once a pearl is pierced, it no longer has astrological benefits, therefore, the best setting for an astrological pearl is a bezel. Astrological pearls must be absolutely natural, not cultured.
