Correct Weight Formula, Astrology Logic & Safe Wearing Guide
Ruby (Manik / माणिक्य) is the gemstone of the Sun (Surya)—the planet of authority, confidence, leadership, vitality, fame, and self-respect.
👉 Ruby is a high-intensity gemstone.
Too little carat = no visible authority or confidence boost.
Too much carat = ego clashes, anger, BP issues, dominance problems.
Choosing the right carat of Ruby is critical for safe and powerful Sun activation.
Quick Answer
Ideal Ruby (Manik) weight:
1 carat per 12 kg of body weight
👉 Example:
If body weight = 60 kg → 5 carat Ruby (approx.)
