Benefits of Cat's Eye (Lehsunia)
Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) strengthens Ketu, which signifies detachment, intuition, spirituality and past karma. It helps when Ketu rules good houses in your chart (the Lagna, 5th or 9th) and is weak; if Ketu rules the 6th, 8th or 12th, strengthening it can do harm.
Energise
On the first morning, wash in raw milk and Ganga jal, light a lamp and chant Om Sraam Sreem Sraum Sah Ketave Namah 108 times, then wear it.
