There are a lot of discussion on the not only internet but also books all about Gomed and Cat’s eye. It is very easy to prescribe the gemstone for a planet based on the rising sign of a native.
However, the planet Rahu and Ketu is different. We should not apply the same rules for the planets of the Trikonadhipati (lord of trine) in case of selecting Gomed and Cat’s eye.
Though the Rahu and Ketu comes under 9 planets as per Indian Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu is considered as the shadowy planet. It has no particular house in the natal chart. The Rahu and Ketu bring results of the planets of the house they occupy.
When to wear Gomed and Cat’s Eye
Now it is clear that you should wear the Gomed and Cat’s eye when the planet Rahu and Ketu is posited in the house of a beneficial planet.
It will bring more beneficial result when you are under the Mahadasha of Rahu and Ketu. The gemstone Gomed should be worn during the major period of Rahu and cat’s eye during the major period of Ketu.
What does the ancient classics say?
Almost all the ancient books on Vedic astrology talk about the effect of the Rahu and Ketu in the birth chart. However, the popular book Briht Jatakam written by Varah Mihir during the medieval India has ignored the importance of this shadowy planets.
The great classic Phala Deepika written by Mantreswar opines that the planet Rahu and Ketu being the first class malefic brings adverse effect almost all the houses in the natal chart except 3rd, 6th and 11th house. The Rahu and Ketu in the 3rd, 6th and 11th house makes one rich, respectable and offers long span of life.
When Ketu is placed in the 3rd house, it makes one courageous, forceful, strong, renowned and long-lived. The native becomes generous or liberal, determined and gets victory of opponents. When the planet Ketu is posited in the 11th house, it makes the life luxurious and native becomes successful in all his undertakings.
According to Brihat Parashar Hora translated by Sita Ram Jha opines that the planet Rahu is exalted in the Taurus and Ketu is exalted in the Scorpio. If the both the planets are well positioned in the Kendra or Trikon and if its depositor Venus and Mars is beneficial to the native, wearing Gomed and Cat’s Eye will be quite effective.
According to Laghu Parashari, if the planet Rahu and Ketu is posited in the quadrant with the lord of trine or posited in the trine with the lord of quadrant, it become Yogakarak or extremely beneficial. The famous interpreter and commentator Dewan Ram Chandra of Laghu Parashari is of opinion that one can wear Gomed and Cat’s eye in such a situation.
The Popular book Uttara Kalamrit writing by Kalidas is of opinion, if the planet Rahu and Ketu is posited in the dual sign and it is conjoined with the planet that rules a quadrant or trine, one can be rich, prosperous and powerful.
If the planet Rahu, Ketu and lord of a trine is posited in the 9th or 10th house, it will bring happiness, prosperity and popularity. The native is highly recommended to wear Gomed and Cat’s eye if there is Mahadasha and Antardasha of Rahu and Ketu.

Hi Md. Mainul
It is good that you have been using Gomed. Wearing Gomed and Cat’s eye together is not a good opinion. This is my opinion.

Dear Ashish,
Don’t use Pukhraj together with Gomed and Lehsunia. You need to give complete birth details to analyze your life stones.
