Which stone suits your zodiac sign?

Star signs and astrology are ancient arts that span the globe. Now, you may take it as gospel or perhaps something less solid. But whatever your relationship with star signs, you may well still be able to benefit from some grounding crystals in your life.

In this article, we take a brief look through the star signs and recommend certain gemstones that may be able to add some much needed balance.

The relationship between stones and zodiac signs

Some believe that, depending on your zodiac sign, certain crystals can be more or less suitable for you. This is because certain signs are thought to have specific strengths and weaknesses, and as such these could be counteracted or balanced with the specific properties of certain gemstones.

With that in mind, below we’ll take a look at the different complementary combinations so you can see which stone is most suited to you!

Which stone suits your zodiac sign?

What’s your star sign? If you’re not sure, you can figure it out by your birthday, which dictates which sign you were born under. Once you have this information in hand, then you can figure out which stone is best for you.

Aries - Amethyst

Those born under the sign of Aries (the ram) are said to be energetic, proactive, and fiery. We recommend using amethyst if you’re an Aries, as it’s connected to the crown chakra and can help headstrong and impulsive Aries to take a breath and keep the inner self in mind. Encouraging growth on all levels, amethysts are perfect for those who need to slow down and consider life a little more.

Taurus - Tiger’s eye

Tauruses, who come under the sign of the bull, are patient, stoic, and hardworking. These are reliable people who can be trusted. For these individuals, we suggest using tiger’s eye, which can assist with balance and security. Even though Tauruses offer this to others, they can sometimes struggle to find it within themselves, so tiger’s eye can help to provide inner security while you give it to the world around you.

Gemini - Clear quartz

Geminis are fun-loving, flexible, and sometimes flighty and sensitive. Their inner worlds are active and curious, but they can also be easily hurt. So Geminis require compassion from others, but most importantly themselves. Clear quartz offers clarity, which can help Geminis to see through their sometimes turbulent inner worlds and gain a deeper self-understanding.

Cancer - Aquamarine

Cancers have intense emotions. As such, they can be highly passionate but are also susceptible to low moods too. If you’re a Cancer, or are close to one, then it’s important to understand that emotions can dominate, and you just have to accept this. Given this, we suggest aquamarine as the perfect accompaniment. Connected to the water element, this stone helps to clear blockages and create flow.

Leo - Amber

Leos fall under the sign of the lion and, in keeping with this symbol, tend to be confident and sure of themselves—and sometimes they can be arrogant as a consequence. Despite this self-assuredness, Leos can also struggle to change, even when it’s for the best. We suggest amber for Leos, as it supports confidence and charisma, which can make them even more powerful, and can also help to subtly facilitate change when necessary.

Virgo - Blue sapphire

Virgos are thoughtful and kind, but with this can come a tendency to overthink and become lost in thought. While this is both a strength and at times a weakness, it can be countered with blue sapphire, which brings wisdom and hope, assisting Virgos in making decisions and not getting bogged down by internal struggles.

Libra - Opal

Libras are represented by the scales, as they tend to be fair-minded and diplomatic. While this makes them sociable and likeable, it can also mean that they have a tendency to avoid conflict and hard decisions, even when it might be better than the path of least resistance. Opal is the ruling birthstone for Libras and it helps them to let go of their incessant need to please others and to put themselves first.

Scorpio - Obsidian

Scorpios tend to be passionate but also secretive, keeping their emotions close and sometimes struggling to trust fully in others. What’s more, while their powerful emotions make them creative and enjoyable to be around, they can also sometimes overcome them. Obsidian helps to undo the sometimes resentful nature of Scorpios, which comes about from struggling to communicate needs and feelings and allowing them to bottle up instead. If you find yourself struggling to let go, obsidian might be for you.

Sagittarius - Rose quartz

Those born under the sign of Sagittarius have a tendency to go forth without looking back. In the material world, this makes them natural born travellers and adventurers. In the social world, it can mean that they speak without thinking, which can lead to both intimate connections and wounded hearts. Rose quartz is a stone for softness and unconditional love, which can help to quiet the fires and still the hearts inside those born beneath Sagittarius, making them speak with less ferociousness and more love.

Capricorn - Emerald

Capricorns are realistic, practical, and natural managers. Seeing things as they are, they tend to be stolid and reliable. However, this can come with the downside of seeming cold and to-the-point, where others might prefer something a little less pragmatic. Emerald is the stone for love and patience, which can help Capricorns to be more forgiving when others don’t think or work as straightforwardly as they do.

Aquarius - Moonstone

Those born beneath Aquarius are intelligent, rebellious, and full of love. Not willing to do things as they should, they tend to think outside the box and go their own way, sometimes even in spite of good advice. To others, this can make them seem stubborn and detached. Moonstone is helpful for Aquarians as it helps them to stand steady on their feet and take a breath, which can be much needed for these headstrong people who often act before thinking.

Pisces - Blue lace agate

Pisces tend to be dreamy, floaty, and trusting, giving into life’s flow. As such, they are a joy to be around and often find themselves getting along quite happily with life. However, they can sometimes be too open, which can lead them to get hurt when in the presence of the wrong people. Blue lace agate helps with communication, which can help Pisces to navigate what they feel to be quite a simple act, but others can often find more challenging.
