Red coral is the gemstone for Mars. Red coral should be worn by person in whose birth chart Mars is lord of an auspicious house. If Mars is well placed and is strong, wearing of Red coral will enhance the quantum of beneficial effects. If Mars as a lord of an auspicious house is afflicted, wearing of Red coral will neutralize the consequent evil effects and will afford protection to the native from them.

Aries Ascendant – Mesha Lagna

Mars is lord of the Ascendant and the 8th house. His lordship of the Ascendant will prevail over the lordship of the 8th. Therefore, it will be very beneficial for the natives of this Ascendant to wear red coral for the whole of their life. This will ensure long life, good health, name and fame, respect and all comforts of life.

Taurus Ascendant – Vrishabha Lagna

Mars is lord of the 7th and 12th houses. The 12th house is an inauspicious house and the 7th is a maraka sthana (house of death). The natives of this Ascendant should as far as possible, avoid wearing red coral.

Gemini Ascendant – Mithuna Lagna

Mars is lord of the 6th and 11th houses. If Mars is in his own sign in the 6th or 11th, red coral may be worn in the major periods of Mars.  As Mercury the lord of this Ascendant, is an enemy of Mars, natives of this Ascendant are advised to avoid red coral as far as possible.

Cancer Ascendant – Karka Lagna

Mars is lord of the 5th (a trine) and the 10th (a quadrant). He is, therefore, a yoga karaka planet for this Ascendant. If red coral is worn always by the natives of this Ascendant, they will be blessed with children, become very intelligent, get respect, name and fame and recognition from government and achieve, great success in their professional sphere. The quantum of beneficial results will be more pronounced in the major period of Mars. If red coral is worn along with pearl, the gemstone of the lord of this Ascendant, the native will get more fruitful results.

The beneficial effects will be enhanced if red coral is worn along with ruby, the gem stone of the lord of this Ascendant.

Virgo Ascendant – Kanya Lagna

Mars is lord of the 3rd and 8th house-both being inauspicious. The native of this Ascendant should, as far as possible, avoid wearing red coral.  For the Libra Ascendant Mars is lord of the 2nd and 7th both maraka sthana(house of death). Venus the lord of this Ascendant is not a friend of Mars. We would advise that natives of this Ascendant should avoid wearing red coral.

However, if the major period does not come in old age and the birth chart does not show short longevity, the person concerned can wear red coral in the major period of Mars when he is in his own sign. Generally, we are averse to recommend gem stones related to the lords of maraka sthana who are not friends of the lord of the Ascendant.

Scorpio Ascendant – Vrischika Lagna

Mars is lord of the Ascendant and the 6th house. The remarks made by us about the wearing of the red coral by the natives of the Aries Ascendant would apply to this Ascendant also.

Pisces Ascendant – Meena Lagna

Mars being lord of the 2nd (house of wealth) and 9th (house of Bhagya-good fortune), wearing of red coral by the natives of this Ascendant will yield very beneficial results.
