The Ruby gemstone, or Manik, is a powerful stone in Vedic astrology that is directly linked to the planet Sun (Surya). The Sun represents the soul, authority, and vitality, and wearing a ruby is believed to amplify these qualities in the wearer. Just as the Sun is the king of the celestial bodies, the ruby is often called the "King of Gems." It is particularly beneficial for those with a weak or unfavorably placed Sun in their birth chart.
 
Benefits of Ruby Stone:
It imparts mental fortitude and boosts self-confidence, helping to overcome self-doubt and depression. It helps the wearer gain recognition, success, and popularity in their professional or personal life, making it a good choice for people in leadership roles, politics, or public service. Since the Sun is revered as a father figure, the ruby is believed to improve relationships with one's father. It is thought to improve vitality, blood circulation, and eyesight, and can help alleviate issues related to the heart and bones. The stone is believed to ward off negative energies and evil spirits, providing a shield of positive energy.
 
How to Wear Ruby Stone?
The ruby is associated with the Sun. The best day to wear a ruby is Sunday, as it is ruled by the Sun. It should be worn during the morning, preferably within an hour of sunrise, during the Shukla Paksha (the waxing moon period). It is typically worn on the ring finger of the dominant hand. The ruby is most effective when set in gold or a five-metal alloy (Panchdhatu). The setting should allow the stone to touch the skin. The ruby is especially auspicious for individuals with the zodiac sign Leo (Simha), as this sign is ruled by the Sun. It can also be beneficial for Aries and Sagittarius, and may be considered for Cancer, Scorpio, and Gemini depending on the placement of the Sun in the birth chart.
