Safed Moonga denotes white coral in Hindi and is held as belonging to Mars (Mangal) by the Vedic astrologer. Though some priests say its effects resemble Venus- why else add it to astrological features because of its white identity as someone under the influence of Mars? Traditional Vedas consider this as belonging to all corals about Mars. In reality, red coral (Lal Moonga) and white coral are ruled by the same planet, but their astrological advantages differ in that red coral raises Manglik Dosha-the great planetary affliction-while white is primarily used to mitigate conflicts and difficulties in married life.
