Crystals and Zodiac Signs. Which One is Best for You?

When you think of crystals and astrology, you probably think of images of mystical, transparent stones that possess mystical powers. But what you may not know is that there is an entire world of science behind crystals and their myriad uses in daily life. Astrology and crystals are connected, and after reading this article, you’ll get a sense why. Earth, air, water and fire signs. 

How are crystals used in astrology?

The astrological signs are like archetypes. They help us understand what traits, characteristics, or behaviors a certain person possesses based on their date of birth. And just like everything else, every sign has positive and negative aspects to them. That’s when crystals come in handy! Crystals are used in astrology to balance or enhance each sign’s energy. 

For now, we’re going to focus on the Sun Sign. The Sun sign in a chart is usually the center of a person’s personality, so working this power through the use of crystals can help you live a better life.

Let’s review each Sun Sign:

Aries. Since Aries are naturally spontaneous and courageous, it would be wise to use a crystal like Carnelian. This crystal will fuel their boldness, improve their luck and help them attract prosperity.

Taurus. Just like the bull, Taurus are prone to anger, rage, and frustration. That’s why a soft crystal like Selenite is perfect for them. Selenite will help them cleanse negative energy, connect with their intuition and forgive.

Gemini. Also known as the social butterfly, Gemini is extroverted and clever. Sure, they love being in the center of all but they need to protect themselves from negative emotions. That is why using a crystal like Amazonite would be their best choice.

Cancer. Just like the crab, Cancer’s are hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Hyper emotional, temperamental, and spitful, Cancers would be wise to work with a crystal like Red Jasper. Red Jasper will help them with grounding, stability, and balancing energies of excess. 

Leo. Just like the king of the jungle, Leo’s are radiant, confident, and drama-loving. They have no trouble being the center of attention but Leos should use a crystal like Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz will allow them to be more compassionate and kind, so they don’t come across as too self-absorbed or pretentious.

Virgo. Logical, practical, and humble. Virgos have a tiny problem, they tend to get stressed out because life ain't as methodical as they would like it to be. Because of that, Virgos should work with a crystal like Fluorite that will allow them to stabilize their energies, calm their nervous system and connect to the Divine.

Libra. The most charming, balanced, and frank sign. Libras are always trying to attain balance, justice, and harmony. That is exactly why working with a crystal like Tigers Eye would be the right choice for them. Tigers Eye helps with self-expression and manifesting goals.

Scorpio. Secretive, mysterious, and intense. Scorpios tend to be a bit harsh, that’s why working with a crystal like Pink Tourmaline would help them disperse emotional pain, and provide assurance that it is ok to trust love.

Sagittarius. This is the most adventurous sign. Hungry for new experiences and freedom, Sagittarius can get bored of the routine and everyday life. That’s why a crystal like Lepidolite, that encourages stillness would be perfect for them. Lepidolite will also help them filter out distractions.

Capricorn. Determined, ambitious, and strong willed. Capricorns are relentless and this can become exhausting. The perfect crystal for them is Smoky Quartz. This crystal will allow them to transmute negative energy into positive.

Aquarius. Original, wild and free-spirited. These revolutionaries are constantly living in the future and coming up with new ideas, so using crystals that keep them in the present moment and tune with their intuition is best for them. We recommend Amethyst because it’s also their birth stone. 

Pisces. One of the most sympathetic signs, Pisces is also the most artistic sign of all. That’s why they need to learn how to express themselves freely and Carnelian can help them do just that! Associated with boldness and courage, it will only fuel their creativity! 

Much like selecting any other magic tool to enhance your vibes and enrich your life, you should select a crystal that aligns with what you want to balance or manifest. Now, using astrology as your starting point, you can start figuring out which crystal is the best for you.
