Can Aquarius Lagna wear Peridot?
Peridot (Zabarjad) is ruled by Mercury. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Aquarius (Kumbha) rising.
Why
For Aquarius (Kumbha) Ascendant, Mercury rules the 5th house (intelligence, children, romance and past-life merit) and the 8th house (sudden events, longevity and hidden matters).
