Benefits of Diamond (Heera)
Diamond (Heera) strengthens Shukra, which signifies love, marriage, arts and comforts. It helps when Shukra rules good houses in your chart (the Lagna, 5th or 9th) and is weak; if Shukra 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 Draam Dreem Draum Sah Shukraya Namah 108 times, then wear it.
