An iron kada is not just an accessory-it’s deeply tied to Vedic astrology and planetary energies. According to Ratna Shastra (Gemstone Astrology), metals are believed to influence human lives by balancing planetary powers. Among them, the iron kada holds a special place because of its connection with Saturn (Shani).

Astrologers say that this kada is especially beneficial for people under Capricorn, Aquarius, and Virgo zodiacs. For Capricorns and Aquarians, whose ruling planet is Saturn, the kada is believed to attract growth, stability, and success. Virgos too may benefit, as Saturn is considered friendly with Mercury.

But not everyone should wear it casually. Since every metal resonates with a specific planet, choosing the wrong one might create imbalance. That’s why astrologers recommend consulting before wearing it.

There are also rituals for wearing it:

• Best day – Saturday

• Purification – Wash with Ganga water or milk

• Mantra – Chant Shani Beej Mantra 108 times

While science doesn’t validate these claims, culturally, the iron kada is seen as a symbol of protection, discipline, and Saturn’s grace.
