Can Aries Lagna wear Carnelian?

Why
For Aries (Mesha) Ascendant, Mars rules the 1st house (self, health and personality) and the 8th house (sudden events, longevity and hidden matters). As your Lagna lord, Mars represents you. Its stones are traditionally the safest long-term choice.
Mesha Lagna natives walk into a room head-first — direct, energetic and quick to start things. Mars as the chart ruler gives courage and a competitive streak, but also impatience when results are slow.
