It should be set in gold of 14 carats or more, and worn on the ring finger of the right hand if male and left hand if female. The ring can be worn after washing in unboiled milk and gangajal after sunrise and before 10 AM on Sunday after touching the stone on the feet of any favorite God after chanting the mantra.This mantra should be recited every Sunday during the first hour from Sunrise for 10 continuous Sundays. The main ruling-deity for ruby is Agni or Fire and the God presiding over it is Lord Shiva. The Sun God who rules Ruby has 7 horses as His vehicle. The 7 horses signify the 7 colors in the white light. The mantra of Sun is

"OM ADITYAYA VIDMAHE, SAHASRA KIRANAYA DHEEMAHE THANNO BHANU PRACHODAYAT"

and

"OM HRAAM HREEM HROUM SAHA SURYAYA NAMAHA".

This Mantra should be chanted 108 times after chanting the Ganesh Mantra .The maximum benefits of the stone is 4 years from the day it is worn. Red Garnet is the secondary gem which can be worn instead. However, It is advisable not to wear Ruby or its substitute stones along with Blue Sapphire, Diamond, Hessonite or Cat's Eye.

Ruby, a very noble stone! Thanks for the description. Also, the Solar Mantra sounds very similar to one I know; very enlightening to see the connections to other emanations.

What i have written is correct. A male should wear Ruby set on Gold on the ring finger of the right hand and a female should wear it on left hand ring finger to be accurate. If your Astrologer has suggested you differently he may have his reasons to do so. Rather than suspecting or disbelieving you should do as he says.

Some one suggested I wear a ruby ring, but when ever I wear it, I feel it reduces my thinking power. Does it have any effects such as this. Should I be wearing it? I do not have access to any pundit.

Thanks.

I have not heard of any such effects so far. On the other hand Ruby is known to make one self confident, positive,optimistic and have leader like qualities. If you think ruby is having a negative effect on you then you should remove it. If you want to wear a gemstone as an astrological remedy then you should consult and expert astrologer regarding it.

Hi, I am wearing a ruby pendant made in gold. The astrologer told me it should be fine either in a gold ring or pendant, and I opted for a pendant. Is this fine?

Thanks,

Harsh

priyanka: Why don't you consult your Astrologer on this regard? Ruby is normally worn on Gold and not silver. Wearing ruby set on ring is preferred. However, I do not see any problem in wearing it as pendant instead.

can i wear ruby in silver ring?

Anamika S Hub Author 13 months ago

Ruby Gemstone represents the fire element which ignites passion and love. Gold is the Metal of Sun, so ruby should be worn in Gold on right hand ring finger for males and left hand ring finger for females. Copper can be used in place of Gold too.

My Astrologer told me to wear ruby of atleast 2 carrats on my right hand ring finger and u suggested left hand ring finger m confused pls suggest

Is there any problem if i wear it on any other finger of my right or left hand

kindly advice.........

Anamika S Hub Author 5 months ago

A female should wear ruby ring on left hand ring finger as far as I know. If your Astrologer is a qualified person and has suggested you differently he may have his reasons to do so. And anyways, If you are doubtful about his recommendation there is no point in wearing it.

longfellow 5 months ago

Hi Anamika.Your description of the Ruby is correct but please note that not everyone will benefit from wearing a Ruby. There are many permutations and combinations whereby learned astrologers suggest the Ruby as a remedy. Please mention these facts in your Articles on Gem stones.

Anamika S profile image

Anamika S Hub Author 2 months ago

@longfellow : Thanks for the suggestion. I have already mentioned the conflicting stones of Ruby in the Hub. And moreover, those who wear as astrological remedy are aware that they should wear the gem on the basis of a horoscope analysis from an expert.

Hi!Anamika,

I was born on the 1st of June 1968 at 1145am,I have been advised to wear a ruby.But ever since I have bought one home my BP seems to be fluctuating.

Is this the right stone for me?

I do not offer free Horoscope or Gemstone Consultations. Get your Horoscope checked by an Expert and wear the gem accordingly.

If Sun is weak and unfavorable in a Horoscope, health concerns like high blood pressure can happen. Ruby is the Gem Therapy Remedy for low and high Blood pressure. If you are facing problems when wearing ruby, you should remove it.

Anamika S Hub Author 7 weeks ago

@ That is for you to know if the gemstone suits you or not. Not all gems suit everyone. So you have to consult and expert as to which stone to be worn to get benefited.

When I wore a ruby inlaied in gold I was excitable. Now I wear it inlaied in silver on the left hand and feel the great myself. As I can see gold is male energy which can overcharge you if you are a male.
