In Vedic astrology, different shapes are associated with different energies. While the most common shape for Yellow Sapphire is the oval cut, other shapes such as round, cushion, emerald, or pear are also used. The individual astrological preference, specific planetary alignment, the wearer’s horoscope, and the planetary positions at the time of birth, are considered to understand the shape. Even a well-cut gem is important as it will have excellent clarity, brilliance, and dispersion of light, adding to the energy. Whereas, a poorly cut gem may not be able to radiate energy effectively, diminishing its astrological benefits.
