The Cat's Eye Stone, also known as Lehsunia or Vaidurya, is a powerful gemstone in Vedic astrology that is directly linked to the shadow planet Ketu (The South Node of the Moon). Ketu represents spirituality, detachment, hidden knowledge, and past-life karma, and wearing a Lehsunia is believed to amplify these qualities in the wearer. Just as Ketu is associated with sudden, unexpected changes in positive ways.
 
Benefits of Cats Eye Stone:
It acts as a powerful shield against evil eye, black magic, negative energies, and secret enemies. It is the premier stone for protecting against sudden financial loss and is believed to help the wearer regain lost wealth and attract unexpected prosperity. It imparts deep spiritual wisdom, intuition, and detachment, greatly aiding seekers, mystics, and those involved in spiritual practices. The stone is thought to alleviate the negative effects of past-life karma, helping to remove obstacles and bring clarity during periods of confusion or instability.
 
How to wear a Cats Eye Stone?
It should be worn when Ketu is favorably placed or when its negative effects need mitigation. The stone is typically set in Silver or Panchdhatu (five-metal alloy) and worn on the Middle Finger of the dominant hand. The ideal time to wear it is in the morning on a Thursday or Tuesday, preferably during the waxing moon phase (Shukla Paksha). Before wearing, the ring or pendant must be purified by dipping it in a solution of raw cow's milk, Ganga Jal, and honey for a short period, then cleansed with fresh water.
