The ruby gemstone, with its deep red color and royal vibrations, has been cherished for ages all over the world. Famed as the “King of Gemstones”, ruby is not just a glittering decoration piece, it bears rich astrological importance as well, especially in Vedic astrology where it is believed to be the gem of Sun. Wearing a ruby gemstone is believed to increase personal power, enhance confidence, and attune one’s inner power to the workings of the universe.
Getting to Know Ruby in Vedic Astrology
In Indian Vedic astrologyAccording to Indian philosophy, the Sun (Surya) is the Atma or Soul of the universe and the source of all life. It controls the level of our self-confidence, our authority, our leadership and the vitality of our life force. When the Sun is weak or afflicted in an individual’s horoscope, the native may find it difficult to earn self-respect, public recognition, and lose health in the process.
The ruby gemstone (or Manikya, as it's called in Sanskrit) is recommended in order to strengthen the Sun’s position in one’s birth chart. In doing so, ruby-wearers can supposedly absorb all the Sun’s divine energy and manifest it within themselves, bringing luminosity, magnetic leadership and personal power into their lives.
