Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) 5.11 Carat (5.6 Ratti) Oval Cabochon – LC1241 detail

Description

Cat's eye, called Lehsunia or Vaidurya, is named after its light effect. Fine parallel fibres or needles inside the stone reflect light into a single bright band across a domed cabochon, which moves as you turn the stone, like the slit pupil of a cat. This effect is called chatoyancy.

In Jyotish texts the classic Lehsunia is chrysoberyl cat's eye, a hard gem (8.5 on the Mohs scale). Quartz cat's eye, a softer chatoyant stone (about 7 on the Mohs scale), is the accepted substitute (upratna). Colour ranges from honey and golden brown to greenish grey.

Who is this for?

People whose astrologer recommends strengthening Ketu, traditionally when Ketu sits in the 3rd, 6th, 11th or 12th house of the birth chart, and those running Ketu mahadasha with Ketu well placed. It is often suggested for research, medicine, healing and spiritual work. It is usually avoided when Ketu is in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th or 8th house, so get your kundli checked before wearing it.

In Vedic astrology, cat's eye (Lehsunia or Vaidurya) is the ratna of Ketu, the south lunar node, linked with focus, research, intuition, spiritual practice and protection from sudden setbacks. Because Ketu owns no zodiac sign, whether the stone suits you depends on the house Ketu occupies in your birth chart. An oval cabochon is the classic shape for a Lehsunia ring, as its even dome shows the light band along its length. These are traditional astrological beliefs, not scientifically established effects, and suitability depends on your birth chart.

Focus And Concentration Traditionally worn to help settle mental noise and stay with one task for longer.
Research And Specialist Work Linked with Ketu's depth, worn by researchers, doctors, analysts and students.
Spiritual Practice Worn to support meditation, mantra japa and steady sadhana.
Protection From Sudden Setbacks Traditionally worn to soften abrupt events and unexpected losses.
Support During Ketu Mahadasha Used when Ketu is well placed in the chart and its period is running.

Cat's Eye in Vedic Astrology

Lehsunia is the ratna of Ketu, the south lunar node, linked with detachment, research, deep focus, intuition, healing, occult knowledge and sudden events. It is traditionally worn to support specialist and research work, spiritual practice and protection from abrupt losses, especially during Ketu mahadasha.

Ketu owns no zodiac sign, so the stone is judged by the house Ketu occupies in your chart. It is generally considered supportive with Ketu in the 3rd, 6th, 11th or 12th house and avoided in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th or 8th. It is traditionally not worn with ruby, pearl or yellow sapphire. The usual weight range is 3 to 6 ratti.

These are traditional astrological beliefs, not scientifically established effects.
