Hessonite (Gomed) Gems stone

Hessonite garnet (Gomed) is the stone of planet Rahu, the dragon’s head. In Indian astrology, Rahu is said to be a shadow planet. He is the son of “Sinhika” the daughter of “Hirnyakashyapu”. According to Hindu mythology, at the time of “Saagarmanthan”, the devil Rahu managed to drink the immortal fluid “Amrit” along with holy angels Devtas. Lord Vishnu became angry and cut his head using his “Sudarshan Chakra”. But as Rahu managed to drink Amrit, he could not die. As the result the head and the trunk of his body were still alive. Afterwards, these two parts of his body became the shadow planet by the name of Rahu and Ketu.

These two planets are not there in the solar system. But Indian astrologers consider them to be shadow planets. Rahu and Ketu are always placed in 7th house from each other and they always transit in the retrograde position in the horoscope. Rahu is a wicked planet. Both Rahu and Saturn (Shani) is said to be the sorrow of the “kaalpurusha”. Rahu indicates the position of the paternal grandfather of the native. It indicates the false arguments, bonding, restlessness, wondering speech, conspiracy, black magic, Tantra, smoking habits, dreams, wicked thoughts, swelling in the body, empires, states, philosophy. Business & Profession:The powerful presence of Rahu in the horoscope blesses the native with a gain and fame in the business of Iron ore, poisonous products, leather, cement, mustard seeds, mustard oils, woolen clothes, blankets, rotten goods, vegetables, sharp piercing, foreign exchange, photography, astrology, ammunition, horse and camel trade, commission agents, lottery, circus, wine and smokes, rubber etc. Diseases:Rahu may be behind the diseases like poisonous diseases, non-diagnosable diseases, leprosy, black de-coloring eye disease, skin diseases, sleeplessness, abdominal and stomach related diseases, mental illness, itching, ulcer, blood diseases etc. If the position of Rahu is in favor, the native will be enjoying a great intellectual power, the life fill with all luxuries, servants, cars and comforts.
