Can Sagittarius Lagna wear Black Tourmaline?
Black Tourmaline (Kala Tourmaline) is ruled by Rahu. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Sagittarius (Dhanu) rising.
Why
Rahu is a shadow planet and owns no sign, so it acts according to the house it occupies and the lord of that sign in your personal chart. For Sagittarius Lagna there is no blanket rule — Black Tourmaline can be very helpful during a Rahu Mahadasha or when Rahu sits in a good house, and unsettling otherwise. Because Black Tourmaline 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.
