Choosing a gemstone might be a big question in astrology. However, which hand to wear which stone is another challenge people face while looking for astrological benefits. Mostly it is recommended to wear Vedic natural gemstones in the right hand. But do you know gems are also worn in the left hand too? Let's find out the reason for this in our blog: 

Importance of Right and Left Hand in Astrology 

The right hand in astrology is the dominant hand. It represents a person's current life, achievements, traits, and potential. The left hand, on the contrary, is a receiving hand. In many cultures it is believed that this hand receives energy from the surroundings. It is often associated with the female’s energy and traits like creativity and love. 

In Western culture, engagement rings are worn on the left hand. This may be one of the reasons that it represents a trait of love. So if you say which one is better left hand or right hand. Well, both hands have their significance in astrology. Wearing gemstones in these hands also has a different symbolism. 

Who Should Wear Gemstone in Left Hand 

The left hand represents feminine power, and thus, ladies are suggested to wear gemstones in this hand. Some astrologers believe that non-working women should wear gemstones on their left hand while working women should wear them on their right hand.  

This is because the right hand signifies potential and work life. On the contrary, for men, it is always the right hand that works both personally and professionally, and hence, they are suggested to wear gemstones only in their right hand. 

For females, the left hand is also for analysing their married life. Ladies looking for a timely marriage and good groom are suggested to wear yellow sapphire stone on the index finger of their left hand. However, those seeking professional success can wear the stone on the same finger of the right hand.
