The ruling planet of lagna and lords of Trikonas qualify at the first sight. But there is catch here that if that planet is in bad house and deblitated then it will be disqualified.Gemstones of the 6th,8th and 12th houses be avoided if they do not own a trine.Also the gemstone of markesh planet should not be selected.If the dasha lord qualifies the above criteria then the gem of that planet hold the upper hand.Its very important that combinations of gemstones is strictly prohibited in case their lord are inimical to each other. It means before selection, the planet has to pass the 5 fold test in which its placement,sign,nature & lordship of 2 houses are at stake.So, to wear a gemstone one must consult astrologer.

Shani ki drishti

When King Ravana succeeded in getting the control over all the nine planets, he installed them face downward on the nine steps that led to his throne. Each morning, he would step on their back to ascend his throne, causing insult and anguish to them. One day the sage Narada came to Ravana, and upon seeing the state of the nine planets asked Shani, how as the mightiest and the most terrible of the planets, he can bear this insult? Shani replied that because he is laying face downward he is helpless, if only he can cast his gaze on Ravana, matters would change. After Narada was shown around the magnificent palace of Ravana the proud king wanted his opinion. The wise sage replied that everything was excellent at the palace of Ravana, except for one. That was, how can Ravana get the pleasure of subduing the nine planets when they are lying face downward? It is better if they were to lay face upward so that when Ravana stepped over their chests, he could get the pleasure of seeing their discomfort on their faces. This suggestion appealed to the mighty king and he quickly ordered his staff to turn the nine planets around on their backs. As soon as that was done, Shani's gaze fell on Ravana and his reason abandoned him. Within a few months he kidnapped Sita, the wife of Lord Rama that led to Lord Rama's invasion of his kingdom. Ravana and his entire family was killed, all this during the seven and half year cycle of Shani.
