Pearl is the birthstone of Kark (Cancer) Rashi in Vedic Astrology, and according to Western astrology, it is for June.  A pearl replicates the moon's cosmic energies and brings a sense of calm and composure to its wearer. As Lunar energy governs the water element, a pearl helps bring about a holistic balance of the heart, body, and mind.

Weight: Typically, the gemstone size should be approximately 1/10th of your body weight, which means 1 carat for every 10 kgs. Alternatively, it can be according to the strength required as per your horoscope or as advised by your astrologer.

The earth's only natural satellite, the Moon (Chandra) is the queen of all planets. It embodies feminine qualities and is referred to as the mother (Chandrama). The moon regulates the tidal patterns and rules the water element. Likewise, a pearl embodies those cosmic qualities and brings calm, poise, and positivity to the wearer. Lunar energy enhances serenity, stability, love, and motherhood. 

The planetary position of the moon in a horoscope defines resilience in thoughts and feelings. It encourages empathy, discipline, and good health, leading to the path of name and fame. 

However, the moon's opposed position leads to bouts of anger, depression, over-sensitivity, stress, and mood swings.

The moon is associated with the color white. Pearls are known to emit orange cosmic waves that are soothing and cooling. Wearing a pearl can calm mental faculties and benefit in the following manner.      

Behavior: It brings about a calm and composed demeanor, making the wearer sensitive to the environment. It is the harbinger of positivity and good health.  
 
Wealth: It inculcates a strong sense of discipline and stability that builds the path to affluence and respectability in society. 

Talent: It helps encourage creativity and an artistic flair associated with imagination and originality. 

Well-Being: It helps in cooling the excessive heat created in the body and thereby manages mental fatigue and over-exhaustion of the heart and brain. The calcium properties affect the skin and eyes positively.

Relationships: The moon is associated with motherhood, and wearing a Pearl supports the bonding of maternal relationships.

Pearls come in two qualities, cultured and non-cultured. The cultivated variety is farmed and has some human interference levels like collecting mussels, grafting, pond culture, and harvesting. The organic non-cultured ones are naturally found in water bodies. The choice of a natural or cultured pearl is personal and depends on your preference or budget constraints. Both the varieties are considered good for astrological purposes.

The valuation of pearls depends on their organic status, symmetry, shine, color, size, and place of origin. The perfection is valued, but sometimes the imperfection is appreciated too, like in baroque pearls.  

Colour – The color is a deciding factor for these gemstones as it depends on the organic process of the Mollusc. Cream colored, light and bright pearls are ideal for astrological purposes.

Shine – Mollusks are found in aquatic, dampened regions and have soft spineless bodies with shell covers. They secrete Nacre to protect themselves from foreign molecules that enter their shell. After secreting layer after layer over the years, they produce sparkling pearls. Natural dots and blemishes endorse the authenticity of a pearl. 

Shape – Organically, pearls are found in multiple forms and shapes, and irregular shapes are common. The price of a pearl depends on its place of origin, varying according to its quality.

Place of Origin – Japan Keshi, Australian Keshi, Indonesian Keshi, and South Sea pearls are good cultured pearl options for astrological purposes. The most delicate organic pearls come from Basra And Venezuela.
