The kada is not only a piece of jewelry in the Indian tradition; it embodies spiritual, cultural, and astrological meaning. A kada, whether crafted of gold, silver, or copper is considered, in Vedic philosophy, an energy conductor. In this philosophical view, the kada aligns the energy frequencies of the body with cosmic frequency. For every metal, there is a vibration associated with planets in astrology. Choosing the correct kada can bring positivity, strength, and healing into your life.

Types of Kada and their Astrological Benefits 

Gold Kada: Fortune, Strong Self-Belief, and Planet Sun.

Gold kada are thought of as having associations with wealth, authority and divine blessings. Gold represents the Sun (Surya) within Vedic Astrology which gives us vitality , belief in self and authority . If your horoscope has a weak Sun or you suffer from limiting beliefs associated with self-esteem, poor reputation, and energy issues you are prescribed to wear gold in your right hand on Sundays. 
From an astrological standpoint, wearing a gold kada accentuates the fire element within the body. Balancing this fire is important as it enhances your qualities of charisma, success, and optimism. Wearing a gold kada is especially beneficial for Leos (Simha) and anytime you are under the influence of a Sun Mahadasha or Antardasha. Gold also holds its place because as a noble metal, it won't chemically react with the skin, and for those interested in elegance and energetic alignment, gold holds a special place.

Copper Kada: Health, Protection & Planet Mars

A copper kada is special in both Ayurveda and astrology. The copper kada is said to be a gift from Mars (Mangal), whose significance is directly linked with strength and courage, as well as blood flow and circulatory health. As a reactive metal, copper has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to bolster immunity and remove toxins. In astrology, the copper kada is said to promote energy, enhance immunity, and prevent intrusion by evil spirits or other unfortunate influences or negative energies.  
If you have a debilitated Mars associated with anger issues, a lack of motivation issues, or blood and blood-related health problems, the copper kada can help restore harmony, balance of functionality and could restore (or at least improve) your experience and abilities. A copper kada is most recommended for both Aries (Mesh) and Scorpio (Vrishchik). As a representation of one of the Seven Chakras, or vortexes of psychological energy in the human body, copper is related to the root chakra, which can ground the experience of the wearer and provide a certain confidence and level of strength and stability.

Silver Kada: Emotional Healing & Blessing of the Moon

Silver, on the other hand, is a cooling metal and is affiliated with the Moon (Chandra) in Astrology. The Moon governs emotions, feelings, intuition, and the mind. A silver kada is ideal for anyone suffering from anxiety, mood swings, overthinking, and irregular sleep. People believe that wearing silver is beneficial in stabilizing mental health and obtaining emotional calmness. 
We recommend those with a weak Moon in their chart or those who are going through a Moon Dasha, to wear silver, particularly on Mondays. It also benefits Cancer (Karka) individuals, as the Moon is their lord. A silver kada worn on the left wrist regulates body temperature and absorbs calming moon energy, making it beneficial to empaths, healers, and creatives, as well as anyone who provides care to others.

Spiritual & Energetic Benefits of Kada

A Symbol of Dharma: Wearing a kada is a way of honoring an individual's commitment to righteousness, truth, and morality in life. 
Spiritual Awareness: Represents spiritual growth and inner discipline. 
Retention of Energy: Generally, the kada helps retain positive energy due to its circular nature. 
Gender Specific Wearing: Traditionally males should wear a kada on their right wrist and females on the left wrist to optimize their energy flow.
