Can Sagittarius Lagna wear Black Obsidian?
Black Obsidian (Jwalamukhi Kaanch) is ruled by Saturn. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Sagittarius (Dhanu) rising.
Why
For Sagittarius (Dhanu) Ascendant, Saturn rules the 2nd house (wealth, family and speech) and the 3rd house (courage, siblings and communication). This mixed lordship means Saturn can give results in its areas but also carries challenges. Wear Black Obsidian only after checking Saturn's placement and strength in your full chart. Because Black Obsidian is a modern healing crystal rather than a Jyotish ratna, keeping it in your space (not worn as a ring) is a gentler way to use it.
Dhanu Lagna natives are optimistic seekers ruled by Jupiter — teachers, travellers and believers. You need a bigger meaning behind everything you do.
