Can Sagittarius Lagna wear Selenite?
Selenite (Chandra Shila) is ruled by Moon. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Sagittarius (Dhanu) rising.
Why
For Sagittarius (Dhanu) Ascendant, Moon rules the 8th house (sudden events, longevity and hidden matters). Lordship of only difficult houses makes Moon a functional malefic for Sagittarius Lagna. Classical guidance is not to strengthen it with its gemstone. Because Selenite 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.
