Blue Sapphire or Neelam is most symbolic in the life of Amitabh Bachchan at a time when he was going through a rather rough patch. Losing his professional and financial ground, and ill in body, Bachchan went in search of an astrologer. An expert recommended that he should wear blue sapphire on the middle finger of the right hand since it is his right ascendant being a Capricorn. This was thought to use the energy of Saturn to get to the bottom of financial problems. Thus, the effect was both deep and instantaneous. It was after he adopted the gem that Bachchan’s fortunes started to turn around. His career was again on the roll with blockbuster movies and financial equilibrium was attained. The whole impact of the blue sapphire was excellent and it was evident from the extraordinary change in his life and success in the film industry.
