The cosmic link between planets and kada
According to Ratna Shastra (Gemstone Astrology), wearing a kada is directly associated with planetary influences. For this reason, men are often advised to wear it on the right hand. Gemstone astrology is a branch of Vedic astrology that connects gemstones and metals with planetary positions in a person’s horoscope.
Wearing the correct metal or gemstone, as advised by an astrologer, is believed to remove obstacles in life and bring progress in career, business, and personal growth.
Why you should consult an astrologer before wearing a kada
Many people wear kada of their own choice, be it gold, silver, brass, or iron. However, astrologers warn that wearing the wrong metal may sometimes have negative effects. Since each metal is linked with a specific planet, consulting an astrologer ensures you choose the one that aligns with your stars.
Astrology experts particularly highlight that an iron kada brings favourable results for certain zodiac signs, as iron is closely associated with Saturn (Shani).
