Can Sagittarius Lagna wear Carnelian?
Carnelian (Lal Hakik) is ruled by Mars. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Sagittarius (Dhanu) rising.
Why
For Sagittarius (Dhanu) Ascendant, Mars rules the 5th house (intelligence, children, romance and past-life merit) and the 12th house (expenses, losses, foreign lands and liberation). This is a neutral lordship — Carnelian can be used for its specific themes (intelligence, children, romance and past-life merit), ideally for a defined purpose or period.
