Shiva Om Dear Friends,

The Ring finger represents the Almighty Sun, who happens to be the father of Lord Shani. Neelam represents or is the Gemstone of Lord Shani ( Saturn ). It is the middle finger of the right hand which is the designated finger for the Neelam as this is the finger for Lord Shani.

Both interestingly and ironically both Lord Sun and Shani do not see eye to eye. They share a bitter relationship as per the canons of well established Hindu Astrology. Hence, wearing of a Neelam which symbolises Lord Shani in the finger designated to Lord Sun is certainly not suggested and though in my course of being a professional Astrologer I have seen this kind of an advice given by some Astrologers I personally of the opinion that this will only lead to a disaster and hence must be avoided.

Hence, to sum it up if you are to wear a Neelam then wear it after having followed the due procedure in the Middle finger of the Right hand. Also do bear in mind the fact that the Neelam is a powerful Gemstone which can cause both immense good and bad. Hence, be doubly sure prior to wearing of this Gemstone.

I earnestly hope that this Blog has answered the question to your satisfaction.

Shivam Kalyanam,
