Gemstones and Anger in the Chart
A short temper is read from Mars, not from a set of four stones. Coral strengthens Mars, which is the wrong move when Mars is already the problem.

Mars is the graha of heat
Anger in a kundli belongs to Mars, whose gem is red coral, and four gemstones cannot share that job. Mars rules Mesha and Vrischika. It is exalted in Makara and debilitated in Karka. A hot Mars, angular and joined with the Moon or sitting in the lagna, describes a quick temper more honestly than any birth month does. Strengthening Mars with coral when Mars is already excessive adds fuel. The usual commercial list, coral plus pearl plus emerald plus something blue, mixes the Moon, Mercury, and Saturn into a mood remedy. Those grahas are not Mars. The Moon can show a reactive mind, and that is a different problem, answered, if at all, by the Moon's own condition, not by a bundle.
When coral has a classical reason
Mars is yogakaraka for Karka lagna, where it rules the 5th and the 10th, and for Simha lagna, where it rules the 4th and the 9th. In those charts a weak Mars may deserve support, and coral is the stone that supports it. The same advice is careless for Mesha lagna, where Mars rules the 1st and the 8th, so a stronger Mars is also a stronger 8th lord. It is careless again when Mangal dosha is the worry. Mangal dosha is Mars in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th from the lagna, the Moon, or Venus. Pacifying Mars, often through Hanuman on Tuesday, is not the same act as wearing coral to make Mars louder. People who want less anger usually need the second path, not the first.
The 6th house and the dasha
Conflict, enemies, and debts are the 6th house. Anger that keeps producing fights belongs there as much as it belongs to Mars. If the 6th lord is the graha in period, the Vimshottari antardasha will feel quarrelsome even with a quiet natal Mars. Coral does not end a 6th-lord dasha. Speech, which can inflame or cool a fight, is Mercury and the 2nd house. An afflicted Mercury snaps. An afflicted Mars strikes. Reading both keeps the remedy from being a single red stone sold for a mood. Nothing here treats a violent temper as an astrological hobby. If anger is harming anyone, the chart is not the safety plan.
Frequently asked questions
Will red coral make me calmer?
Coral supports Mars. If Mars is already harsh, support can sharpen the temper. Calm is not an automatic result of wearing the stone of the angry graha.
For which lagnas is Mars a yogakaraka?
Cancer, where Mars rules the 5th and 10th, and Leo, where Mars rules the 4th and 9th. Other lagnas give Mars different houses, including dusthanas.
Is pearl an anger stone because the Moon is the mind?
Pearl is the Moon's gem, used when the Moon needs support. It is not a substitute for reading Mars, and it is not one item in a set of four.
