Lehsunia, known in English as Cat’s Eye, is the gemstone of Ketu in Vedic astrology. This guide explains what the stone is, the benefits traditionally linked with it, who should wear it and the correct method of wearing.

What is Lehsunia stone?

Lehsunia is a chrysoberyl or quartz cabochon that shows a moving band of light called chatoyancy, like the eye of a cat. For astrological use the stone should be natural, with good colour and clarity, and backed by a report from an independent gemological laboratory.

Lehsunia stone benefits

In Jyotish, Lehsunia is worn to strengthen Ketu. It is traditionally recommended for people running Ketu Mahadasha, and those seeking protection from sudden losses and hidden obstacles. These benefits come from astrological tradition and are a matter of personal belief; a gemstone is not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.

Who should wear Lehsunia?

A gemstone should be chosen from the birth chart (kundli), not from the sun sign alone. Wear Lehsunia only when Ketu is a favourable planet in your chart, and consult a qualified astrologer before you buy.

How to wear Lehsunia stone

  • Metal: silver or Panchdhatu ring or pendant, with the stone touching the skin.
  • Finger: middle finger of the working hand.
  • Day: Tuesday or Saturday, as your astrologer advises, after bathing, during the morning.
  • Weight: A weight of 3 to 7 ratti is common.
  • Mantra: chant the Beej Mantra of Ketu 108 times before wearing.

How to check an original Lehsunia stone

Ask for the lab certificate and match its report number, weight and measurements with the stone. Every certified Lehsunia at Jagrat Gems is listed with its SGL report details, exact carat and ratti weight, and is energized through the Jagrat Process before dispatch.
