How Much Carat of Pearl (Moti) Should One Wear?
Exact Weight Formula, Astrology Rules & Safe Guidance
Pearl (Moti) is the gemstone of the Moon (Chandra)—the planet that governs mind, emotions, mother, mental peace, fluids, intuition, and sleep.
Unlike aggressive stones like Neelam, Pearl works emotionally and psychologically.
However, wrong carat weight of Pearl can disturb mental balance instead of calming it.
👉 Choosing the correct carat (or ratti) of Pearl is extremely important, especially for sensitive or emotional individuals.
Quick Answer
The ideal Pearl (Moti) weight is:
1/12 carat × body weight (in kg)
👉 Example:
If your weight is 60 kg → 0.25 × 60 = 5 Ratti (4.5 Carat)
In practice, most people wear 4–8 carats, not the maximum.
Why Pearl Carat Weight Matters
Pearl directly influences:
- Mind & emotions
- Mental peace and stability
- Sleep quality
- Emotional sensitivity
If the Pearl is:
- Too small → No effect
- Too heavy → Emotional overload, mood swings, dependency
👉 Pearl is a mind stone, not a power stone.
Practical & Safe Pearl (Moti) Carat Guidelines
✔ Most Commonly Recommended Range
- Minimum effective: 3–4 carats
- Ideal for most people: 5–7 carats
- Strong Moon correction: 8–10 carats
- Above 10–12 carats: Only with expert guidance
