A Natural Pearl, also known as Moti, is an organic gemstone formed within the soft tissues of a living mollusk. Unlike cultured pearls, natural pearls are extremely rare and valued for their purity, luster, and calming energy. Pearls are associated with the Moon and are revered in Vedic astrology for their ability to balance emotions and enhance mental clarity.
Why to use it:
Natural Pearl is believed to bring emotional balance, peace of mind, and stability. It helps calm the nervous system, reduces anger, and promotes love, harmony, and compassion. Astrologically, it is worn to strengthen the Moon in your birth chart and to counter its malefic effects such as mood swings, anxiety, or restlessness.
When to wear:
Pearl should ideally be worn on a Monday morning during Shukla Paksha (waxing moon phase) after proper energization. It is most effective when worn close to the skin, allowing its soothing vibrations to work directly on the wearer.
How to wear:
- Worn as a ring or pendant in silver (traditionally set in a silver ring worn on the little finger of the right hand).
- Should be worn after purifying in raw milk, Ganga jal, and chanting the Moon’s mantra:
“Om Chandraya Namah”
- Can also be carried as a loose gemstone in a soft pouch close to the body.
Who can use it:
Recommended for individuals suffering from emotional turbulence, anxiety, lack of concentration, or restlessness. It's especially beneficial for Cancer ascendants or anyone whose Moon is debilitated or afflicted in their horoscope.

- Promotes peace, calm, and emotional stability
