Weekly Horoscope (25 June - 1 July 2018)

These 3 Zodiac signs will get special surprises this week! Read weekly horoscope to know how your life will be this week with respect to job, business, education, health, love and family life.

With the month of June coming to an end, 3 Zodiac signs would have their hands full with various unanticipated prospects. A raise in income and opportunity to travel some place is predicted for the people of these 3 signs. Apart from them, the natives of remaining 9 signs will have their lives going on as usual.

Furthermore, the retrograde of Planet Mars will occur on June 27 and will retrograde in its exalted sign Capricorn. People who are affected by the Mahadasha and Antardasha of Mars, might face some problems in this period. As Capricorn is ruled by Planet Saturn, which is already in retrograde motion, so the retrograde of both planets (Mars and Saturn) is not an auspicious indication. In this duration, natural calamities like flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc might be seen. Additionally, turmoil in country’s politics and increase in military conflicts seems a possibility. At the same time, situation in military-dominated countries might worsen.

Now, take a look at what your horoscope has in store for you this week -

Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat Tomorrow, Know Its Importance

Know Rituals to follow on the occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi. This Vrat will be celebrated tomorrow, i.e. on 23 June 2018. Learn in detail about the rules and puja vidhi while carrying out this fast.

हिन्दी में पढ़ने के लिए यहाँ क्लिक करें

According to the Hindu Panchang, 24 different Ekadashi falls every year. Although in Purushottam Maas or Malmas, the number increases from 24 to 26. Nirjala Ekadashi has been considered the most important of all Ekadashi occuring in a year and is extremely difficult to pursue, as one cannot consume water along with any food.

Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat Muhurat
Nirjala Ekadashi Paran Muhurat	From 13:47:13 PM to 16:34:49 PM on June 24
Duration	2 hours 47 minutes
Ending Time for Hari Vasar	Around 10:10:08 AM on June 24

Note: Above mentioned time is for Delhi. Know auspicious Muhurat for your city: Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat Muhurat

It is believed that those devotees who are unable to fast on all 24 Ekadashi around the year, should fast on the day of Nirjala Ekadashi. It is widely believed that fasting on this day would reap rewards which is equivalent to gaining benefits and virtues of all other Ekadashi. On this day, worshipping Lord Vishnu is considered to be highly significant.

Why Water Isn’t Consumed on Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat?

This vrat falls during the Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha in Jyeshtha month. During this month, the summer heat is scorching high and days are bigger, hereby making a person more thirsty than ever. In this case, the vrat is said to be extremely difficult as well as shows patience. One does not drink water from the sunrise of Ekadashi till sunrise of Dwadashi. Carrying out such a difficult fast in such conditions reflects upon the beliefs towards God. However, one can consume milk along with fruits on this day.

Nirjala Ekadashi During Mahabharata

The significance of this Ekadashi Vrat is also mentioned in Mahabharata. According to this legendary belief, this vrat was carried on by Bhima, hence it is also known as Bhimseni Ekadashi. Maharishi Ved Vyas himself had told Pandavas the importance of Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat and asked them to fast on this day.

Importance of Nirjala Ekadashi 

Every devotee who wants to fast on Nirjala Ekadashi should worship Lord Vishnu after renouncing food and water for that day. Doing charity and taking holy baths have special significance on this day. After bathing in a holy river or reservoir in the morning during shubh muhurat, one should worship Lord Vishnu and donate food to a Brahmin or needy person. The glory of Nirjala Ekadashi Vrat leads a person to longevity and salvation. The vrat is completely fulfilled after the parna on the day of Dwadashi.

We hope that you will surely like this article based on Nirjala Ekadashi. Wishing you a great and bright future from AstroSage!

How to Identify Real Gemstones?

Are you wearing a real or fake gemstone? It’s difficult to identify the authenticity of a gemstone just by looking through it. Several gemstone merchants in India have stated that the stones available here are of poor quality and treated in synthetic labs in Bangkok, Thailand.

Several labs in Bangkok treat natural, ordinary or synthetic stones or gemstones so as to make them look more realistic and sell it to the buyers at lower rates. The only reliable solution to check its authenticity is by opting for Lab Tests, as they conclude if the stone is treated, enhanced or diffused.

Best quality Ceylon gemstones can be found in the mines of Sri Lanka and Kashmir. Although the lustre quality isn’t that attractive, but they work wonders when worn to pacify the malefic effects of a certain planet or bring positivity in one’s life.

How Bangkok Gemstones Are Treated in Labs?

Three types of gemstones exist-

1. Natural Stones: Occuring due to the compression and heat of Earth

2. Synthetic Stones: Stones composed in labs and treated with chemicals

3. Treated Stones: Natural stones but damaged or fractured. Their cracks are filled with glass to give it a more natural look.

Gemstones are treated so as to improve the clarity and shine, which directly or indirectly affects the value and aesthetics of the stone. Read and understand few treatments given below:

Heat: Heating the gemstones can improve the color as well as its clarity. It is said to be a natural way of enhancing the curves and luster of the stone which is originally formed. This treatment is common for Sapphire, Ruby, and Blue Zircon.

Radiation: In many cases, several gemstones are treated with radiation so as to enhance the quality or change its color. Most commonly treated stone using this process is Topaz, Diamonds and others.

Waxing/Oiling: Several gemstones such as Emeralds and Turquoise contain natural fissures which are filled with wax or oil to hide them. Hereby, the wax or oil is colored in order to enhance the look and create a better appeal and clarity. 

Fracture Filling: Fractured portions of gemstones like Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds are treated with lead glass, hence improving the appearance of the stone with a dramatic effect.

Diffusion: Diffusion treatment involves heating a gemstone with one or more chemicals. Surface diffusion affects mainly the surface of the gem, while lattice diffusion penetrates the crystal lattice. Many star sapphires are diffusion-treated with rutile to improve the star.

Why We, at AstroSage, Sell Only Original Gemstones and Not Bangkok Ones?

The answer must be obvious: to maintain the quality of our products and trust factor of our clients. At AstroSage, we believe in adhering to loyalty towards our customers by giving them what’s the best. As an original gemstone can cost hundreds, people feel more at “profit” when investing in low-range stone with little or no astrological quality. 

Our gemstones are of highest standards, and boast originality at its best. We deliver quality stones with certificates mentioning every detail about the stone, its color, shape, size, cut, gravity etc. At AstroSage, our esteemed astrologers analyse your kundli or birth chart and offer correct remedies along with which gemstone to wear. You can get 100% authentic, real gemstones from our AstroSage Online Store without any duplicacy or imitation. 

Real or Fake: How to identify?

People do not pay heed to the quality, astrological authenticity and certification of a gemstone when buying or investing money. One must know how to differentiate between a real or fake gemstone so as to make the right choice:

1. One important thing to remember is that gemstones have flaws in them due to their natural state, whereas synthetic gems seems more perfect. 

2. These stones, with more shine and lustre, come at cheaper rates, are denser and polished, treated with colored latex and filled with glass all around.

3. When the stones are lab-tested, the certificate with “Comments” section specifies the kind of treatment it has undergone. 

According to the certificate above, the “Comments” section indicates that there might be some traces of thermal enhancement on the gemstone, hence outlining that the stone is fake.

Similarly, the certificate indicates that there has been no traces of any enhancement or radiation on the stone, and that the stone is real and astrologically usable.

4. If in case “Not Specified” is mentioned, it means there has been no testing regarding the authenticity of the stone.

5. On the other hand, due to natural heat and pressure, real stones seems to be worn down but seems to be of more value than the synthetic ones.

Disadvantages of Wearing Fake Gemstones

Real and pure gemstones are associated with different planets of the Solar System. Hereby, when worn, they bring in numerous advantages and energies in one’s life. 

Vedic astrology says that one must not wear fake or synthetic gemstones, as they have an opaque appearance and prevent cosmic lights from entering and benefitting the wearer. Although there are several ways to check its authenticity and originality, but opting for lab-tests seem more reliable and trustworthy.

Join hands with AstroSage and say “NO” to Fake Gemstones.
