Astrology has been one of those things that is as super interested in growing up. I use to read up on the astrological readings on the internet. I love reading about each sign and seeing it was accurate with my own family. I have always loved astronomy so having interest in astrology wasn’t too much of a stretch.
Mostly everybody knows that their ears twelve zodiac signs and they’re all represented by the planets in our solar system. It even goes as far as knowing you star chart, what moon affects you, even you’re rising sun. There’s so much more that goes into astrology then people realize and the best thing about is that its fun!
Sure, there are scientist and people who don’t think it as real but honestly is just harmless. It’s still history at the en dog the day.
But something that is also interesting about zodiac signs is the inclusion of gemstones. .
Everything is energy when it comes to zodiac signs. the elements have always been intertwined with the zodiac signs, and they offer a unique insight into the zodiac’s characteristics. Some would assume that birth stones are the stones that represent the zodiac signs and to some extent that’s true but the truth is there are multiple gems that represent the signs. it all just depends on how and why you’re using them. Let’s see what crystals align with each of the zodiac signs.
Aries
Aries always first in a line of the zodiacs and they know it. They are the ram which means they are bold, ambitious, and headfast. It makes sense for them to be a fire sign. The ideal warrior of the group and the one who always feels the need to come out on top. The perfect crystal for this sign would be Amazonite. It’s the stone that manifests dreams, goals, and ideas. Nothing will be able to stand in an Aries way. However, there are times when such a bold energy needs to simmer down, so Sardonyx is also a good gem to represent this sign. It is meant for self-control and discipline and communicating well in relationships.
Taurus
Taurus are known for being pretty down to earth and having a nurturing side to their character, but they also be stubborn at times thanks to them being represented by a bull. They love to wind down and relax doing their favorite activity and can’t say no to a good old day of being pampered. Relaxation is their strong suit. Nature, quietness, and soothing aromas are what make a Taurus feel at home. Kyanite is meant to clear and light chakras which is great for this sign to help relax and be comfortable in their own peace and quiet. This gem also helps bring stability and cast out negative energy. Carnelian is another good gem that is good for creativity, positivity, and joy to keep the other stones together.
Gemini
The identical twins of the signs. You can never tell who’s who, and always curious about the next thing. Playful, talkative, and sometimes even erratic, Gemini’s will never have you bored. A beautiful grape-green gem called Serpentine would be the perfect match for this zodiac sign. It aligns with finding a purpose in life which some Gemini’s have trouble with and protects the user from any danger. Clear quartz is always a good choice as well to help navigate a Gemini’s life through their twists and turns.
Cancer
Some would think of the signs that are the crybabies of the zodiac and sometimes even refer to them as the mother of the zodiac. Compassionate and self compassion, the only thing that can compliment a zodiac the blue chalcedony for getting rid of the negative energy and brings in positive energy
Leo
They are the embodiment of a lion. Passionate, loyal, and famously dramatic. This fire sign won’t deny their royalty to their throne. Being that they love-being in the center of attention Citrine would work best for them. It’s bold yellow color screams attention and is used to gain abundance, joy, and success. Leos would forever bask in this gem’s radiant energy.
Virgo
The busy body of the skies as I would like to call them. Virgos are more left brain than the rest of the zodiac signs. They’re logical, analytical, and practical. Everything is like a puzzle that needs to be solved and should be solved in a certain way. Systems are their way of life. If any of those systems are jeopardized than Vigros will simply fall apart. Chrysocolla and Amazonite would be interesting gems to represent Virgos. Chrysocolla’s can be used for just about anything even for finding out hard truths and Ammonites are for self discovery, balance, and inner peace.
Libra
With life its all about balance and Libra’s are all for that idea. Fairness and justice mean a whole lot to them, especially when it comes to their emotions, so it makes sense why a scale takes on as the representation of the sign. They are the ones to hear both sides of the story instead of jumping to conclusions right away after only hearing half of the story. Bloodstones, a gem that’s a mixture of green and red would be great for libras to help them be less indecisiveness about their decisions.
Scorpio
The scorpion itself has entered the chat! This sign is usually highly emotional but manages to keep secrets which is one of the fastest way to hurt the relationship you have with other people. Malachite is said to help warn the user of anything bad coming their way. Dark and mysterious obsidian is the gem for Scorpio. Obsidians prevents inner transformation and also embrace the journey
Sagittarius
Now we are onto the best sign yet: Sagittarius! Sagittarius are the humor overlords and are the embodiment of exploration and are known for dreaming big dream. Also known as the party animal of the signs, Labradorite helps block any emotion you might have had filters out the bad rather than the good.
Capricorn
· This sign thrives dedicating their time to achieving their goals through perseverance and patience. Represented by the sea goat, a half goat half fish creature, the tiger eye gem sums up Capricorn personality and their ambitious nature. The Tiger Eye boosts confidence and resilience and guides Capricorn’s to be steadfast on their journey.
Aquarius
Aquarius is the last air sign in the list. Innovative, independent, and detached at times these signs mainly dedicate their lives to helping change the world in a positive direction. Popular crystals like Jasper and Aquamarine align with Aquarius values and personality. Both are meant to foster a sense calm and help communicate ideas.
Pisces
And last but not least Pisces! They are symbolized by literal fish (which is associated with Ying and Yang) and are mainly known to be compassionate, sensitive, and intuitive. To compliment their enthusiastic nature, any these is the perfect gem for Pisces. It helps embrace dreams and provide more wisdom ti them. Frites is also good for these signs to cleanse and remove negative energy.
