Find the right Mukhi Rudraksha for your ruling planet — its deity, benefits, day, mantra and how to wear it.
Each Rudraksha bead has a number of faces (Mukhi), and each Mukhi is governed by a planet and its deity. Choosing the Rudraksha that matches your Moon sign's ruling planet is believed to strengthen that planet and channel its blessings. The table below shows the life-bead for each Rashi.
| Rashi | Ruling planet | Rudraksha |
|---|---|---|
| Aries (Mesha) | Mars | 3 Mukhi |
| Taurus (Vrishabha) | Venus | 6 Mukhi |
| Gemini (Mithuna) | Mercury | 4 Mukhi |
| Cancer (Karka) | Moon | 2 Mukhi |
| Leo (Simha) | Sun | 12 Mukhi |
| Virgo (Kanya) | Mercury | 4 Mukhi |
| Libra (Tula) | Venus | 6 Mukhi |
| Scorpio (Vrishchika) | Mars | 3 Mukhi |
| Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Jupiter | 5 Mukhi |
| Capricorn (Makar) | Saturn | 7 Mukhi |
| Aquarius (Kumbha) | Saturn | 7 Mukhi |
| Pisces (Meena) | Jupiter | 5 Mukhi |
Always use a genuine, X-ray or lab-verified bead. Wake the bead by soaking it briefly in milk or Ganga jal, chant the mantra, and first wear it on its planet's weekday. The 5 Mukhi is safe and auspicious for everyone — when in doubt, start there. Keep the bead clean, avoid lending it, and remove it only when necessary.
