Yellow Sapphire
The gem of Jupiter
Who should wear it
In the classical convention Yellow Sapphire is worn to strengthen Jupiter — appropriate only for a chart where Jupiter is a functional benefic (a lagna-friendly or yogakaraka graha, or the running dasha lord), which a full chart determines. It asserts no outcome and is worn on a trial basis first.

Questions, answered
Which planet is Yellow Sapphire for?
Yellow Sapphire is the primary gem of Jupiter. Whether it suits you depends on Jupiter's functional role in your own chart, not the gem alone.
Should everyone wear Yellow Sapphire?
No. It is appropriate only after a qualified astrologer confirms the graha is a functional benefic for your chart, on a trial basis — never a fear-driven or one-size-fits-all fix.
