Should you wear Gold or Silver? The Vedic view
In Vedic astrology, every planet (graha) has its own metal — usually the metal that its gemstone is set in. Reduced to the two everyday jewellery metals, Gold and Silver, each planet leans one way:
- Gold — the warm, royal, expansive planets: Sun, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter.
- Silver — the cool, watery, calming planets: Moon, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.
This calculator reads three classic sources from your birth chart and gives a clear verdict:
- Moon sign (Janma Rashi) lord — your primary lucky metal, the most widely used in Vedic tradition.
- Ascendant (Lagna) lord — strengthens your overall personality and life direction.
- Birth star (Nakshatra) lord — the metal of your ruling Vimshottari Dasha planet.
