Quick Answer
Females, girls, and ladies should wear Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) on the MIDDLE FINGER of the RIGHT hand, set in silver, on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening, only after astrological consultation.
Why Finger Selection Matters for Cat's Eye
Cat's Eye activates Ketu, which governs sudden gains and losses, detachment & isolation, spiritual awakening, and accidents/fears/hidden enemies.
The middle finger is the classical Ketu placement. Wearing Cat's Eye on the wrong finger can disturb emotional balance, increase fear or confusion, or cause sudden instability.
Correct Finger for Females to Wear Cat's Eye
Middle Finger (MOST RECOMMENDED)
- Balances Ketu energy
- Provides protection without chaos
- Supports spiritual growth
- Reduces sudden negative events
Avoid ring finger or little finger unless an astrologer specifically advises.
Which Hand Should Females Wear Cat's Eye On?
- Right hand – Most recommended (controls external life & protection)
- Left hand – Only if astrologer advises (rare cases)
For women, right-hand wearing keeps Ketu's energy controlled and practical.
Best Metal for Cat's Eye (Lehsunia)
- Silver – Best and safest

Who Should NOT Wear Cat's Eye (Females)

Cat's Eye is never a fashion gemstone.
Signs Cat's Eye Is NOT Suiting You
Remove immediately if you notice sudden fear or anxiety, emotional numbness, isolation increasing, sudden losses, or relief after removing the ring. Relief after removal = Ketu imbalance.
