Do you like diamonds? Does that shine tempt you to own it? If you ask me, I really love them.

People love to buy diamonds, for their own reasons. But I never knew, that diamonds in itself have an impact on our lives .Yes, you heard it right, and diamonds have an astrological significance too.

Actually, I was unaware of this, but last year my friend who had several personal issues, was recommended by an astrologer to wear diamonds as it could help him improve his quality of life.

Rather than agreeing to this, I raised many questions on this theory. But his firm and adamant belief on astrology was far stronger than my contradictions.

So I too researched about the impact of diamonds on our lives as per astrology and came up with many links and theories associated with it.

As per astrology, diamonds are considered auspicious for some Sun signs. It is said that diamonds provide good luck and wealth. It boosts the self-confidence of people wearing it as well as it enhances their overall personality. It provides them with good health and spirit. Diamonds in itself fills the void of happiness and a euphoric feeling, in the person who wears it.

But here again, it depends on wearing the correct gemstone as per science and astrology. Venus is the ruling planet of diamonds. It represents love, luxury, health and happiness. Virgos and Librans, gain most benefits wearing diamonds. Since, diamonds are connected with beauty and style, they are favorable for people related to entertainment and creative industry.

The horoscope of a person decides, what gemstone is auspicious for them.

Here, I have listed various astrological benefits of diamonds that I have come across,

1. As we all know, a dazzling diamond outshines all other gemstones. There are people who are indecisive in nature. There are many things going on in their mind at the same time. They always seem to arrive at more than one conclusion. Diamonds help such people to have a clear point of view on anything. It helps them to understand the concept clearly and gain decisive powers, as a result boosting their confidence.

2 . As Venus is the ruling planet for diamonds, it provides its owner with love, happiness, luxury, beauty and style. This in turn improves their quality of life.

How much of this is true, depends on one’s belief. We totally can’t deny the astrological aspect of diamonds too as in India, a vast number of people’s life is moving on beliefs and faith. Science has a foot ahead in today’s world, but still beliefs and faith have an upper hand.
