What is this master table for?

It exists to save a reader from opening 12 separate pages when they just want to compare signs, or when they are choosing a bracelet for someone else and need the facts quickly. Every row below comes from the same jyotish sources referenced across the individual sign guides on this site, so the two should always agree. If you already know your rashi, you can jump straight to your row; if you are still working out whether to use your Sun sign or your Moon sign, read Sun sign vs Moon sign (Chandra Rashi): which decides your bracelet first, since Vedic tradition and Western horoscope columns do not always name the same sign for the same birthday.

This table is also a starting point for anyone comparing a formal gemstone, called a rashi ratan, against the more affordable crystal version most people buy for daily wear. The two are not always the same physical stone, and the difference is worth understanding before you read the individual columns below. That comparison is covered separately in Rashi ratan vs rashi crystal bracelet: gemstone or affordable crystal.

How is a rashi linked to its ruling planet in jyotish?

Each of the 12 rashi has a graha, or planet, assigned to it as its ruler in classical Vedic astrology. This is one of the oldest parts of the system and is what most later associations, including stone and colour, are built on top of. A sign's ruling planet is treated as its closest astrological connection, closer than the element or the day of the week, both of which are usually derived from the planet rather than fixed independently.

Nine planets, or navagraha, are recognised in this system: the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the two lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Only seven of the nine rule a rashi directly, since Rahu and Ketu are shadow points rather than physical bodies with a sign of their own in this particular scheme, which is why the table below has seven distinct planet names spread across twelve signs rather than nine or twelve.

The full table: sign, planet, stone, colour, day, deity

Rashi (Hindi) Ruling planet Traditional stone Colour Day Deity
Aries (Mesh) Mars Red jasper, carnelian Red Tuesday Hanuman
Taurus (Vrishabh) Venus Rose quartz, green aventurine Pink, green Friday Lakshmi
Gemini (Mithun) Mercury Green aventurine Green Wednesday Ganesha
Cancer (Kark) Moon Moonstone White, pale grey Monday Shiva
Leo (Singh) Sun Sunstone, citrine Gold, orange Sunday Surya
Virgo (Kanya) Mercury Green aventurine Green Wednesday Ganesha
Libra (Tula) Venus Opal, rose quartz Pastel pink, blue Friday Lakshmi
Scorpio (Vrishchik) Mars Red jasper, garnet Deep red Tuesday Hanuman
Sagittarius (Dhanu) Jupiter Citrine Yellow, gold Thursday Vishnu
Capricorn (Makar) Saturn Amethyst, black onyx Purple, black Saturday Hanuman
Aquarius (Kumbh) Saturn Amethyst, lapis lazuli Blue, purple Saturday Hanuman
Pisces (Meen) Jupiter Citrine Yellow, sea green Thursday Vishnu

How do you read the day and deity columns?

The day column names the weekday classical tradition assigns to that sign's ruling planet, such as Tuesday for Mars and Thursday for Jupiter, and it is the day many people choose to first wear a new bracelet. The deity column names the god most commonly linked to that planet or sign in the tradition this shop follows. Some households follow a slightly different deity pairing, which is normal across a country as large as India, and this table gives the version used consistently across our sign guides.

Why do some signs share the same stone or day?

Because the ruling planet, not the sign, is what actually decides the stone, colour and day. Gemini and Virgo share Mercury, so both take green aventurine and Wednesday. Sagittarius and Pisces share Jupiter, so both take citrine and Thursday. Capricorn and Aquarius share Saturn, so both take amethyst and Saturday. This is expected, not an error, and it is a useful thing to notice when you are shopping for two people with different rashi who might still suit the same bracelet.

How should you use this table when shopping?

Find your row, then open the full sign guide for the fuller explanation, the alternative stone options, and which hand tradition suggests for wearing it. Two useful starting points are Capricorn / Makar bracelet guide and Scorpio / Vrishchik bracelet guide, both of which walk through a full colour and stone rationale the way every sign page on this site does. This table is a starting point for comparison, not a replacement for reading the reasoning behind any single sign, especially if you are buying for someone whose birth details or family sect you are not fully sure of.

What should you do if two family traditions disagree on a detail?

It happens more often than you might expect, particularly with the deity column, since regional and sampradaya differences mean two equally devout families can name a different presiding deity for the same planet. When that happens, the table above reflects the convention this shop follows consistently across every sign guide, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend there is only one correct answer. Follow your own family's custom where it differs from ours; the stone and colour columns, which are more consistently agreed upon across jyotish sources, are less likely to see this kind of disagreement than the deity column is.

As tradition records it

Associations shown on this page are classical and devotional. The tradition works, and it has been kept by generations.

Questions people ask about Bracelets

Which planet rules which zodiac sign in Vedic astrology?
Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, the Moon rules Cancer, the Sun rules Leo, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, and Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius.
Why do Gemini and Virgo have the same stone and day?
Both signs are ruled by Mercury in Vedic astrology, and the stone, colour and lucky day are tied to the ruling planet rather than the sign itself, so any two signs sharing a planet share these details too. Read the full answer →
Is the stone in this table the same as a formal ratna gemstone?
Not always. Some rows list an accessible crystal, such as citrine or green aventurine, which tradition treats as a lighter alternative to a formal ratna like yellow sapphire. A jyotish practitioner can advise on the formal stone for an individual chart. Read the full answer →
Can I use my Moon sign instead of my Sun sign to read this table?
Yes, and in Vedic astrology the Moon sign, or Chandra Rashi, is usually the one tradition uses for these pairings, rather than the Sun sign more common in Western horoscopes. Read the full answer →
Does the colour column mean I need clothes in that colour too?
No, the colour column describes the traditional stone and accessory colour for the sign. Some people extend this to clothing choices on their lucky day, but that is a personal custom, not a rule tied to the bracelet.
