Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) – A Jupiter Stone for Wisdom, Stability, and Harmonious Living
In the realm of Vedic astrology, Yellow Sapphire, known as Pukhraj, is one of the most respected gemstones aligned with the energies of Brihaspati (Jupiter) — the planet of wisdom, expansion, and dharma. It is traditionally considered suitable for those desiring intellectual growth, emotional maturity, and a harmonious family environment.
According to Wing Commander Dr. Santosh Sharmaa, Yellow Sapphire should only be considered when Jupiter needs strengthening in the astrological chart. If Jupiter is weak, afflicted, or underperforming, the vibrational energy of Yellow Sapphire may help restore balance. However, Dr. Sharmaa cautions that one should never wear Yellow Topaz as a substitute, as it does not carry the same energetic potency or planetary affinity.
💎 What Dr. Santosh Sharmaa Recommends
- Use Yellow Sapphire only for strengthening Jupiter — not as a general-purpose gemstone
- Avoid Yellow Topaz — despite its similar appearance, it lacks the planetary correspondence needed to support Jupiter’s role
- Prefer untreated, natural Yellow Sapphires, particularly those sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), as they are considered energetically pure and effective
- While carat size may vary, the authenticity and natural quality of the stone is more important than the size alone
✴️ When May One Consider Wearing Yellow Sapphire?
Individuals may consider this stone when they:
- Seek mental clarity, ethical decision-making, and long-term focus
- Desire peace and unity in family relationships
- Aim to strengthen Jupiter’s influence for spiritual growth, education, or financial planning
- Experience instability in wisdom-driven areas like teaching, leadership, or dharmic roles
It is essential, however, to consult a knowledgeable astrologer before wearing any gemstone, especially when it concerns planetary alignment.
🔆 Stone Selection and Wearing Guidance
- Choose natural, untreated Yellow Sapphire, ideally certified and ethically sourced
- Stones from Sri Lanka are traditionally regarded as superior in purity and effectiveness
- Wear the gemstone set in gold (or as advised) on the index finger of the working hand, typically on a Thursday after proper energization
- Pair the stone with affirmative practices, meditation, or mantra recitation for Jupiter (like the “Om Brim Brihaspataye Namaha”)
