How the Ruby Gemstone should be used
Ruby is the gemstone ruled by Sun. Therefore, if in a birth chart, Sun is lord of an auspicious house, it will be useful for the native to wear Ruby. Ruby should also be worn if an auspicious Sun is afflicted or is not well placed in the birth chart.
For the Aries, Ascendant Sun is lord of the 5th trine and is a friend of Mars-the lord of the Ascendant. The natives of this ascendant will profit considerably by wearing a Ruby. They will become very intelligent, there will be spiritual development in them, they will be blessed with children, will be bestowed honors, and will be favored by Government. The beneficial effects of the gem will be more pronounced in the major period of the Sun.
In the birth chart of Taurus Ascendant Sun is lord of the 4th house but Sun is an enemy of Venus the lord of the Ascendant. Therefore, Ruby is to be worn during the major period of the Sun. It will be otherwise also useful if Ruby is worn if he is in his own sign or in the 10th house where he gets directional strength. Wearing a Ruby will bestow mental peace, success in educational activities, gains of land and property, happiness from mother, and comfort of conveyances. Besides, other good effects of Ruby will also be felt by the native.
In the birth chart with Gemini Ascendant Sun is the lord of the 3rd house. It will not be useful for the native of this Ascendant unless Sun is in his own sign in the third house. Even then it should be worn during the major period of Sun when it will make the native courageous and successful in all his ventures.
In the birth chart with Cancer Ascendant Sun is the lord of the second house, the house of wealth. Sun is also a friend of Moon, the lord of Cancer Ascendant. If there is loss or lack of wealth or trouble in eyes on account of the unhappy disposition or affliction of Sun in the chart, wearing a Ruby will prove very helpful. The second house is also a Maraka house (house of death). Therefore, it will be better if Ruby is worn along with Pearl which is the gemstone for the lord of Cancer Ascendant. The beneficial results will be more pronounced in the major period and sub-periods of the Sun.
For Leo, Ascendant Sun is lord of the Ascendant. Ruby is, therefore, a 'must' for natives of this Ascendant. They should always wear a Ruby, more so when the Sun is not placed, weak, or in any way afflicted in the chart. Ruby will protect them from ill health and enemies, give vitality to the body, long life, and succeed in administrative and other posts. It will also enhance the spiritual power of the native.
For the Virgo, Ascendant Sun is lord of the twelfth house. We will not advise the native ascendant to wear a Ruby. But when Sun is in his own sign in the 12th house, Ruby can be worn if necessary but preferably along with Emerald (the gemstone of Mercury-lord of Virgo Ascendant) during the major period of the Sun.
For the Libra Ascendant, the Sun as lord of the 11th is the enemy of Venus-the lord of the Ascendant. The native of this Ascendant can always wear a Ruby when there is a loss of wealth or when there are obstructions in the acquisition of wealth on account of ill disposition or affliction of the Sun in any way. If the Sun is in his own sign, the wearing of Ruby will make the native very fortunate and he will become wealthy, famous, honored, and will own conveyances and property. The wearing of Ruby will also improve his health and longevity. The beneficial results will be more apparent during the major period and sub-periods of the Sun.
For the Scorpio, Ascendant Sun is lord of the 10th house. Sun is a friend of Mars the lord of Scorpio Ascendant. Therefore, wearing a Ruby for the native of this Ascendant will bestow him with honors, promotions, and great political power. He will achieve great success in his ventures if he is a businessman or industrialist. If Sun as lord of the 10th is in the 10th this will give rise to a powerful Raja yoga and by wearing a Ruby, the native can even become a high dignitary, Minister, Prime Minister, or President. The wearing of Ruby will prove very helpful if there are obstructions in the achievement of success on account of inauspicious disposition or affliction, in any way, of Sun in the birth chart. The results will be more pronounced in the major period and sub-periods of the Sun.
For the Sagittarius, Ascendant Sun is the lord of the 9th house, the house of Bhagya (fortune). Sun is also a friend of Jupiter, the lord of the Ascendant. Ruby is, therefore, a very suitable, agreeable, and profitable gemstone for natives of this Ascendant particularly when Sun is in his own sign in the ninth house. Ruby will give the same beneficial results to the Sagittarius natives as it gives in the case of Scorpio Ascendants. In addition, it prolongs the life of the father of the native.
For the Capricorn, Ascendant Sun is lord of the 8th house. The natives of this Ascendant should avoid wearing Ruby as far as possible because not only Sun is lord of the 8th a very inauspicious house but also is a bitter enemy of Saturn, the lord of Capricorn Ascendant. If, however, the Sun is in its own sign in 8th Ruby may be worn during the major period of Sun. That will give long life to the native and he might benefit from an inheritance. Ruby should not be worn during the major period and is not likely to be operative during the lifetime of the native.
For the Aquarius Ascendant, the Sun is lord of the Seventh, a Maraka house (house of death). Sun is also an enemy of the lord of the Ascendant. It will be, therefore, advisable for the natives of this Ascendant not to wear Ruby.
For the Pisces, Ascendant Sun is lord of the 6th, an inauspicious house. The natives of this Ascendant should avoid Ruby. However, if Sun is in the 6th house in his own sign, a Ruby can be worn during the major period of Sun. This will prove useful as Sun is a friend of Jupiter the lord of the Pisces Ascendant. Wearing this gemstone, as advised above will ensure freedom from enemy troubles, debts, and diseases.
The Ruby to be worn should be at least 2-1/2 carats in weight and should not have inauspicious flaws. It should be got set in gold mixed with copper on a Sunday, Monday, or Thursday.
This ring should be a touching ring so that the stone touches the skin. The ring should be worn as soon as possible after Sunrise on a Sunday of the bright half of the lunar month. It is very important for all gemstones that before wearing them they should be kept immersed for some time in unboiled milk or Ganges water.
Afterward, the stones should be worshipped with flowers and incense, and the Mantras of the planets should be recited 108 times. The ring should be worn on the ring (third) finger. The Ruby is a very expensive gemstone and those who cannot afford to purchase a Ruby can use any of the following substitutes-Red Spined, Star Ruby, Pyrope Garnet, Red Zircon, or Red Tourmaline.
Ruby or its substitutes should never be worn with Diamond, Blue Sapphire, Gomedha, and Cat's Eye and their substitutes.
