In Vedic astrology, ruby is often recommended when:

* An astrologer determines that strengthening the Sun would be beneficial.
Ruby is commonly associated with people whose charts emphasize signs ruled by the Sun or where the Sun has significant influence.
When Ruby May Not Be Recommended
Traditional astrologers may advise caution if:
* The Sun is already excessively strong in the chart.
* Strengthening the Sun could aggravate existing astrological imbalances.

* Exact time of birth
* Place of birth
before recommending ruby.
