Can Taurus Lagna wear Hematite?
Hematite (Lohitaka) is ruled by Mars. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Taurus (Vrishabha) rising.
Why
For Taurus (Vrishabha) Ascendant, Mars rules the 7th house (marriage and partnerships) and the 12th house (expenses, losses, foreign lands and liberation). This mixed lordship means Mars can give results in its areas but also carries challenges. Wear Hematite only after checking Mars's placement and strength in your full chart. Because Hematite 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.
Vrishabha Lagna gives a calm, sensual and loyal personality ruled by Venus. You build slowly and keep what you build — money, relationships and a beautiful home.
