Protections using Cosmic Astrology

Astrology, like any science, has its technology. It has theoretical knowledge and its practical applications. The purpose of astrology is not only to give us greater knowledge about ourselves, but also to give us tools and methods to be able to access the deep levels of our nature and to better face the forces of the subtle worlds.
This technology is made up of systems to channel our energy and to improve the relationship with the Cosmos and the cosmic forces within us.
It uses factors from the world around us, but it is a spiritual and occult technology, not a material one.
Western astrology has evolved along intellectual and scientific lines related to the development of the entire culture. It has dealt more with theory than with practice. It lacks coherently defined techniques to balance or adapt planetary influences. The earliest Western astrology used these methods in the Middle Ages and used precious stones, metals, herbs and spells to modify astrological influences. These methods, along with other occult and mystical sciences of medieval Europe, were abandoned and rejected as unscientific.
As happened with medieval sciences all over the world, European astrology often degenerated into confusion, corruption and superstition, even though it had a core of truth that is still valid today. These methods have been better preserved in India, the land from which the sciences of yoga come, the origins of religion and spiritual philosophy. In Vedic astrology the use of precious stones, colors, mantras, deities, rituals and other means to regulate the subtle worlds have always been part of the science of consciousness in the teachings of yoga.
Vedic astrology is concerned with guiding the client in balancing his planetary influences as well as informing him what these influences are.
How can we find harmony and balance if we do not recognize our connection with the universe? We must not only recognize how chemical and atomic forces influence us, but we must open ourselves to the Intelligent Power that underlies the Universe and which is much more than our thinking can comprehend.
Vedic astrology has a practical foundation and wants to help us practice a type of life in harmony with the stars. From its point of view, we cannot live in harmony with the cosmos by maintaining our usual lifestyle or improving it with some theoretical knowledge. In order to harmonize ourselves with the cosmos and its influences, we need daily practical methods, because we live every day and feel the influence of the stars every day. These methods are not only astrological, but also religious and spiritual. It involves using the forces that surround us, such as gemstones and colors, more subtle methods such as rituals, mantras and meditation. If we do not do these things every day, the knowledge and study of astrology will not be able to change your lives.
In the use of gemstones, one of the factors to be taken into account is the quality of the stones, another is their purification and energizing. Gemstones must be of good quality, without defects and undrilled. Depending on the way they are used, they can strengthen the highest and lowest influences of the planets.
Gemstones are usually worn on the finger that belongs to the planet, that is: the index finger for Jupiter, the middle finger for Saturn, the ring finger of the right hand for the Sun, the little finger for Mercury, the ring finger of the left hand for the Moon, the ring finger of the right hand for Mars, and the middle finger for Venus.
They must be mounted in such a way that they are always in contact with the skin.
