Crystals for the Zodiac Signs

Each zodiac sign has specific traits and needs that should be nurtured and balanced, which can be done through the help of crystals! If you haven’t already, please read my blog on “Beginners Guide to Zodiac Signs” to help you discover your zodiac sign and what it means for your place within yourself and the world around you. This is a crystal that you should carry around with you, whether in your pocket, bag, or on a piece of jewelry. Or, have it placed in a safe space in an area where you find yourself spending the most time, such as your bedroom or office.

*Note: These are all overarching themes and characteristics. Not everyone will identify with their sun sign completely, which is why it’s important to look at your whole chart rather than just the one placement.*

Aries

Aries’ are passionate and fiercely loyal people, but need to focus on their growth and calming their aggression, therefore they should harness the power of Carnelian. It’s a stone that will continue to build up their confidence, but also grounds them when their anger and flames want to take control. It will give them the energy and strength they need, while also promising stability and even-headedness

Taurus

Taurus’ and people that have a calm and stable exterior, but need to silence their overactive thoughts and to let go of any grudges they may hold. Green Aventurine is the perfect crystal to have, as it will expand their positive mind patterns, ease their anxieties, and help them see things clearer. It provides them with the interior calmness that they need.

Gemini

Gemini’s are creative and expressive, but tend to struggle making decisions or choosing the right paths in life. They can benefit from Fluorite, which sharpens the mind and helps clear blurry vision—providing clarity on situations that once felt cloudy. This stone will inspire more organized thoughts and decisiveness on all paths of life.

Cancer

Cancer’s can have the habit of getting too heavily into their own heads and allowing their emotions to swallow them up, therefore needing a crystal that can help balance their emotions and increase their positive mindsets, such as Opal. This is a crystal that also encourages hope, harmony, and the healing of emotional wounds. It will help Cancer’s mend their hearts and overthinking minds, while amplifying their positivity and hopefulness.

Leo

Leo’s are often known for being self-absorbed and confident in their place in life, which is powerful but can create a sense of “otherness,” and could use the help of Sunstone to guide them through life. This crystal will help Leo’s maintain their independence and personal power, while also pushing them to be more open and empathetic towards those around them. It’ll provide a clearer look on how words and actions can impact people around them.

Virgo

Virgo’s are logical and perfectionists, they are head strong and understanding, however, they need to work on eliminating their fears of failure. Amethyst is a crystal that will help promote a calm energy when things begin to feel confusing or difficult—erasing anxieties of doing something wrong. This will provide Virgo with the ability to continue to put their heart into their work, while alleviating the fears that come with it.

Libra

Libra’s tend to be the mediators and peace-keepers of society, always lending a shoulder to cry on or open palm to take, but through this approach, they tend to forget how to communicate their own needs and opinions. Therefore, they should carry Turquoise with them to inspire connection and comfortability with sharing what they think or how they feel. While they tend to be the emotional sponge for those around them, this stone will allow them to feel okay expressing their emotions and needs too.

Scorpio

Scorpio’s are strong and powerful, assertive by nature, but often have their guard up to avoid being burned, needing a natural aura of protection for them to feel safe, specifically Black Tourmaline. This crystal will create a shield around Scorpio’s, allowing them to ward off negative thoughts and energies, and give them the chance to relax. It will also help ground them, providing a safe, stable environment for them to thrive.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius’ are big dreamers and go-getters, with a huge zest for life, they always want to follow their dreams and passions, but with this, they tend to bite off more than they can chew and follow a new path before completing the last one. Sodalite would help in giving them guidance on what path is the right one, and encourage them to stay on that path and complete it before seeking greener pastures. It’ll help with Sagittarius’ fear of commitment to a singular dream, and help guide them in the right direction.

Capricorn

Capricorn’s are always two steps ahead, grabbing the bull by the horns and trudging forward until they achieve exactly what they want in life, with this comes a sense of stubbornness and impatience. Howlite is the perfect crystal to balance them, as it represents strength, but also patience and serenity. With the help of this stone, Capricorn’s will be inspired to slow down, take deep breaths, and know that they can get what they want in time, but should also stop and smell the roses on the way.

Aquarius

Aquarius’ are big personalities who are painted as fun and quirky individuals with a love for adventure, but they find it difficult to open up and express deeper emotions than happiness. Aquamarine is a great tool in becoming in touch with one’s emotions and giving themselves the space they deserve to feel and express. This crystal will give Aquarius’ the energy they need to acknowledge that their emotions are valuable and should be shared.

Pisces

Pisces are individuals who always put others before themselves, they are selfless and compassionate people, but need to learn how to direct that empathy towards themselves. Therefore, they should seek out Moonstone, a crystal that will help focus their energies on their needs and build a deeper connection with themselves. It also assists in restoring balance, therefore allowing Pisces’ to still value others' needs and emotions, while also taking their own into consideration.
