This iron ring is not just a fashion, it is a very useful thing, just keep these rules in mind to get the blessings of Shani Dev.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Often you must have seen many people around you wearing a black ring in the middle finger of their hand. Some people wear it to protect themselves from evil eyes, while others wear it to reduce the effect of Shani Dev’s wrath or ‘Sade Sati’. In astrology, wearing an iron ring is considered to be a very sure shot solution, but the problem is that most of us consider it to be just a ‘buy and wear’ task.

The truth is that iron is directly associated with Shani Dev, and if it is not worn regularly, it can increase mental stress instead of providing benefits. Let us know those important rules which everyone should know before wearing an iron ring.

What should the ring be like?
The normal iron rings available in the market do not show the effect you expect. According to astrology, if the ring is made of ‘black horseshoe’ or ‘old boat keel’ iron, then it is most effective. The rings should not have any welding or joints, rather they should be cooled (beaten) and given roundness.

Correct time and day to wear
Iron is the metal of Shani Dev, hence the best day to wear it is Saturday. Try to wear it on Saturday evening when the sun sets. Before wearing, purify it with Ganga water or raw milk and chant Shani Mantra (Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah). This awakens the positive energy of the ring.

On which hand and which finger to wear it?
This is where there is most confusion. According to Vastu and Astrology:

• men One should always wear it in the middle finger of the right hand i.e. ‘Middle Finger’.
• women Wearing it in the middle finger of the left hand is considered more fruitful.
  This finger is directly related to Mount Saturn, hence it is most important to have contact with iron here.

Precautions are also necessary
After wearing the iron ring, you have to make some changes in your behavior and habits. Try to avoid telling lies, violating someone’s rights or eating vengeful food (meat and liquor). Shani Dev is said to be the god of justice, and a person who does wrong while wearing an iron ring may have to face adverse consequences.
