What does wearing gold do
caveat: this thread is an opinion
you could specify, I'm curious
lol if you were certain of yours you wouldn't be afraid to share them

I would bath in gold if i could.and wow wayfarer, i have always avoided gold and didn't know why, i always have preferred silver, perhaps i had an instinct about it
wow, what's with all the personal attacks here? i thought we were here to share astrological knowledge and help each other with information, maby even do some readings for each other. perhaps i'm being too objective. must be my sun in libra

A more expert opinion on the matter from dr. farrI'm not here to argue or to have a cat fight...
But just to offer my opinion as a counterweight to Wayfarer's statements, with students exploring astrology in mind.
Of Wayfarer's 5 points I only disagree with 4
Transpersonal planets are operative from birth.
Relocation does not change the horoscope of birth. If the cosmos had wanted me to be born in Shanghai instead of Los Angeles, I'm sure that could have been arranged.
Although I don't have experience in the area,
it seems to me that wearing jewelry (amulets)
is, at best, a secondary or superficial way to "improve one's luck".
I have known many people who wear gold,
but their meager gold ring is all the gold they have.
The statement about retrograde planets contacting a solar arc (???) is far too categorical, straight out of The Astrological Cookbook.
But I whole-heartedly agree that most people don't know their time of birth.

http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26898There are a number of methods which can be used to indicate therapeutic/benefic crystals and stones,
based upon various charts, including the birth chart
(which gives the more general or "constitutional enhancing" crystals and stones)
Using the tridosha-analogy which I have provided in this thread
(and there are other analogies which could be used instead),
and using the birth chart as the basis, one could:
-translate the signs and planets into their tridosha (3 element) allocations
-then determine:
a) the dosha/doshas (element/elements) in excess,
and then choose crystals from the deficient element/elements,
so as to bring elemental balance into the constitution
or...
b) find the strongest planet (most dignified planet) in the chart,
determine what its dosha (element) is,
then select from the crystals having that dosha (element) quality,
thereby strengthening the constitution by bringing in the influences of the strongest planet in the nativity
via its elementally affinitive crystal
or...
c) determine the dosha of the ascending sign
coupled with the dosha of the ascendant ruling planet
(if that planet is not debilitated or in a pitted degree),
then choose from the crystals which have the dosha
or combined doshas of the ascending sign and its ruling planet.
These can be useful ways to select crystals connected with the birth chart,
using the tridosha affinities of the crystals I have given in this thread.
