GEMS OF MARS (MANGALA-RATNA) by R.S. Brown (C) 1995

MARS (Mangala)

 

Mars is a masculine planet which radiates an intense and fiery energy.

Mars governs soldiers and warfare, ambassadors and orators,

restaurateur and cooks, athletes and pilots, real estate and

construction. It rules the color red, the metal element, vegetation,

and the basic energy of life. The position of Mars in one's horoscope

determines relations among brothers, courage and strength, vitality and

sexual drive. When Mars is powerfully placed, a person becomes highly

energetic and devotes his or her energy to constructive endeavors and

worthy causes. When afflicted, Mars causes a person to behave

erratically and waste energy on worthless pursuits. A severely

debilitated Mars often indicates a violent temper and destructive

tendencies.

 

When Mars is exalted one has great energy, is learned, well-known and

regal, But if Mars is located in a weak or afflicted position in one's

horoscope one becomes prone to boils (due to impure blood), unstable

blood pressure, anemia, and violence. YELLOW is the cosmic color

transmitted by coral and other ochre colored gems. Yellow color waves

are related to the lymph nodes, bone marrow, blood, and head. Mars

astral talismans may help to strengthen these vital elements. They also

help avert violence and warfare, moderate lust, improve finances, and

reduce mental depression

 

Gemstones ruled by Mars include natural coral, carnelian, and other

pink to red ocher colored gems. As always, the use of fine quality

gems, free of defects, is imperative for transmission of auspicious

astral energy rays.

 

Influence of Red Coral / red carnelian

 

If Mars is well placed in your horoscope:

The influence will be toward positive energy, strength, courage,

passion, and aggression. One will be active, have great energy, be

learned, well-known and regal.

 

If Mars is ill-placed in your horoscope:

The influence will be toward anger, irritability, instability,

impatience, and aggression. One becomes prone to violence and physical

problems such as high blood pressure, anemia, and impurities in the

blood.

 

NOTE: As Mars is incompatible with Mercury and Saturn, Mars gems like

red coral should not be used with emerald or blue sapphires.

Specifically designed talismans like the Navaratna (nine gems setting)

are an exception to this principle.

 

The particular hue or type of reddish ochre color recommended for each

social-religious-economic station in society are listed as follows:

 

1) Religious practitioners, scientists and educators should use pink

red;

 

2) Soldiers, administrators, leaders and bureaucrats should use blood

red;

 

3) Farmers, bankers and traders should use orange red;

 

4) Servants, laborers and workers should use brown red.
