Aries lucky stones, colors and numbers
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac: cardinal fire ruled by Mars. Traditional astrology links it with initiative, courage and a direct, pioneering spirit. Its lucky correspondences follow Mars — red, steel and Tuesday — and the classical Aries stone recorded by gem historian George F. Kunz is the bloodstone, an old emblem of courage.

What Aries’s stones symbolise

- Ruby — Confidence, leadership and recognition; “success, fortune, love and fame” in the traditional December rhyme.
- Red coral — Courage, energy and determination, the qualities of Mars.
Symbolism comes from traditional gem lore and astrology. It is cultural, not a promise of any effect.
Your Vedic sign may be different
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac; Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is currently shifted by about 24°. If you were born in roughly the first three weeks of Aries, your Vedic Sun falls in Pisces. In Vedic astrology, lucky gems depend on your ascendant and Moon rather than your Sun — which is why the free chart asks for your birth time and place.
