In our latest episode of YTMPodcast, we had the pleasure of talking to Kanika Khandelwal, a renowned astrologer, about astrology, gemstones, and the reality of gemstones in navigating life. Kanika shared some eye-opening truths about the field, the myths surrounding it, and how to make astrology work for you without falling for gimmicks.

1. Trust, Truth, and the Right Guidance

Kanika began by emphasizing something very important: once your trust is broken, it takes a lot of time to rebuild it. She shared an example of someone who consulted an astrologer, received advice that didn’t resonate, and felt completely disheartened.

“Truth doesn’t need proof,” Kanika says. “But meeting the wrong people can make even the truth seem false. That’s why research is essential, know whose knowledge you’re seeking and how credible they are.”

2. Credentials, Knowledge, and Experience Matter

Unlike doctors, astrologers don’t always have standardized certifications. While some astrologers have formal degrees from universities in Rajasthan and other places, others may have short-term training or even fake certificates. Kanika explained:

“Experience and mentorship matter more than certificates. I have six years of practice, but my real understanding comes from learning under a spiritual guru. True knowledge combines study, guidance, and real-life application.”

3. Astrology Isn’t Just One Tool

Kanika highlighted that astrology uses multiple tools depending on the problem:

• Numerology to check numbers, business patterns, and personal alignment
• Tarot cards for guidance and clarity
• Birth charts for deep insight into personality and life patterns

For instance, if someone’s business isn’t doing well, she might first check their numerology rather than immediately looking at gemstones or birth charts. All tools work together to provide a holistic understanding.

4. Gemstones, Bracelets, and Alternatives

One major misconception she addressed: stones and bracelets alone don’t change your life. Kanika explained:

“Expensive stones like diamonds or rare gemstones enhance energy, but they are not substitutes for hard work. Faith, effort, and consistent actions are the real keys. Stones, bracelets, or threads just focus and enhance your energy, they make the journey smoother.”

She also shared affordable alternatives for those who can’t invest in expensive gemstones:

• Green threads, simple gemstones, or specific mantras can work just as effectively.
• For example, if someone wants a “money magnet” effect but can’t afford a bracelet, reciting Om Shri Namah or listening to Vishnu Sahasranama can produce real benefits without costing a fortune.

5. Ethical Practices vs. Commercial Exploitation

Kanika was very clear about ethics in astrology:

“Some people sell expensive products even when simpler remedies would suffice. True guidance is about helping the person, not maximizing profit. If someone can’t afford a gemstone, I suggest alternatives or mantras. That’s real service.”

She also cautioned against astrology apps and gimmicky “money magnet” products that exploit users: the focus should always be on guidance and effort, not just buying a product.

6. Karma, Effort, and Destiny

Kanika made an important point: tools like stones or bracelets enhance energy but cannot replace karma, effort, or destiny.

“For example, a rickshaw driver earns based on hard work, a pilot earns based on skill, and a businessperson succeeds based on effort and strategy. Stones or mantras make the journey easier, but they can’t replace your work or luck.”

7. Practical Spiritual Alternatives

Kanika shared simple, practical remedies that anyone can do at home:

• Chanting Om Shri Namah daily
• Listening to Vishnu Sahasranama, Kanakadhara Stotram, or Shri Suktam
• Using threads, herbs, or small crystals instead of expensive stones

These practices help enhance energy, improve focus, and attract opportunities, even without costly jewelry.

Conclusion

Kanika Khandelwal’s insights remind us that astrology works best when combined with faith, effort, and the right guidance. The reality of gemstones is that they are enhancers, not substitutes, tools that work best when aligned with genuine effort and intention. Gemstones and bracelets can support your journey, but they are not magical fixes. Ethical guidance focuses on helping people in their real-life circumstances with honesty and practicality.

So before you consult an astrologer, remember: do your research, trust your intuition, and focus on effort alongside energy enhancements. As Kanika says, “Your karma, mindset, and faith are your strongest tools.
