Gemology mentions a wide range of gemstones that are believed to strengthen the position of planets in one’s horoscope. When a gemstone suits an individual’s birth chart, it can bring positive energy and favorable outcomes in life. However, it’s essential to consult a qualified astrologer before wearing any gemstone, as each one has specific significance and method of wearing.
Every gemstone has a unique ritual and purification process before it is worn. Among the seven days of the week, Tuesday holds special importance as it is associated with Mars (Mangal), the planet of strength, courage, and determination. Wearing a gemstone related to Mars on this day is considered highly auspicious.
Which Gemstone to Wear on Tuesday?
On Tuesdays, Red Coral (Moonga) is considered especially beneficial. This gemstone helps in strengthening the position of Mars in the horoscope and mitigates its malefic effects. Wearing red coral is said to boost confidence, courage, and mental strength.
However, red coral is not suitable for everyone. It is strongly advised to consult an astrologer before wearing it. According to Western astrology as well, red and brown-colored gemstones are favorable on Tuesdays.
How to Wear Red Coral
- Red coral should be set in a ring made of copper, gold, or silver.
- Before wearing, purify the stone using Ganga water and raw milk.
- The ring should be worn on the ring finger (anamikā) of the working hand, preferably during the early morning hours on Tuesday in a suitable muhurat (auspicious time).
- A red coral weighing 7 to 8 ratti is considered ideal.
- People with Mangal Dosha (Mars-related afflictions) in their horoscope may also benefit from wearing red coral.
