I have been advised by an astrologer to wear Ruby.
This hub has provided a lot of practical tips. Thank you, very much.
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.
Thank you for the information. Additionally, I could say - wearing the ruby gem can attract people's envy for your prosperity. I like this stone very mcuh and recommend it for everyone. Thank you.

Hello anamika,
Just wanted to check if some one can wear a ruby ring and pendant together.
Hi, I am libra rashi, astrologer told me to wear rubi but he didn't tell me about chanting mantras while wearing it... Is it necessary to chant mantra?

@ 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.
Hi
i am wear ruby in my right hand ring finger but in silver metal...does it give me effect....

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.
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?

@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.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.

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 anyway, If you are doubtful about his recommendation there is no point in wearing it.
My Astrologer told me to wear ruby of at least 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.........

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.
can i wear ruby in silver ring?
i am confused whether to wear the ruby on my left hand ring finger or my right hand ring finger. i have visited many websites and they say i have to wear it on my right hand ring finger.my rashi in kataka/cancer.which hand and which finger should i wear it on?
wanted to know about color of thread that should be used for ruby locket(pendant)???someone closed warned me to wear in black .
Anamika, The info is so helpful to me..Thanx..

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.
Hi
My question is also same.
I am wearing ruby pendant in silver rather than a ring. I dont think it is suiting the way it should have been, i mean i really doint see any benefits as such whatever i have heard about?
so do u suggest me to change the pendant and get the ring made instaed?
Thanks

If you would have read the comment above you you would not have asked me this question. Thanks for the visit anyway.
Hi Anamika,
My astrologer told me to wear a Ruby ring, but i preferred to wear pendant. Is there harm in it?
- AUTHOR
Yeah, It is okay.
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

I have not heard of any such effects so far. On the other hand Ruby is known to make oneself 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.
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.

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.
Thanks for the information of ruby.
here it is written that ruby is to be wear in ring finger,although my pandit ji advised me to wear it in middle(second) finger of right hand.And now iam confused.
Please advise me in this regard.
Thanks.

Yes, indeed Ruby is a very noble and royal stone. Thanks for the Comments.
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.
