Did you know that different crystal kits can be assigned to each zodiac sign? Each zodiac sign is attributed specific strengths and potential weaknesses, and it is possible to use gemstones to support specific qualities one would like to emphasize, using astrology as a foundation. We can use the attributes of any zodiac sign to reflect on how their themes are found in our day to day life.

 

Astrology Basics

Astrology is a complex system of self-knowledge based on the position of the planets at the time of your birth. Your zodiac sign is established by the position of the sun on your birthday. However, this attribute doesn’t take into consideration many other facets of your astrological birth chart, including the position of the moon (which moves every day throughout a month through all the zodiac signs) and your Ascendant (determined by the time and place of your birth), as well as the position of all the other celestial bodies. For example, you could be a Taurus, which is an earth sign associated to stability, pleasure and well-being, but have most planets in fire signs, which would make you a lot more active, entrepreneurial and reactive. These terms are broad, but they give you a general feel for how you are not solely defined by your sun sign (zodiac).

In order to get a better picture of the details of your birth chart, you can consult an astrology reader or youtube videos to educate yourself on the basics of astrology. You can find your birth chart on astro.com.

Knowing the basics of astrology will give you more insights on the attributes of each zodiac sign, as well as the associations of each planet.

The Zodiac and Self-Development

Because each zodiac sign is associated with specific qualities and aptitudes, it is possible to associate these themes with gemstones that can support these capabilities. These capabilities are broad and can be tapped into by every individual. Depending on what is happening in your life, you may be drawn to one crystal kit in particular. For example, if you are focusing on wealth and security, you may be interested in the crystal kit associated to Taurus, or perhaps Capricorn.

Throughout the year, we move sequentially through each sign of the zodiac. We can use this system as a means of introspection, and see how the energies of each zodiac sign are reflected in our lives at that point in time.

The Zodiac, Birth Stones & Gemstone Talismans

It is interesting to note that there is a variation in birth stones for all signs. Many people think of birth stones as being associated to a specific month, however, around the twentieth of each month we move into a different zodiac sign, which is attributed different qualities, and different birth stones. For example, January is seen as the month of Capricorn, but as of January 21st, the sun is in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. Capricorn is associated to the stone garnet, and Aquarius is associated with amethyst.

It is an interesting idea to have a look at the native birth stones for each sign, but feel free to explore which gemstone you are intuitively drawn to. You do not need to limit yourself to using traditional birth stones. Different crystals that are very compatible with the signs of each zodiac are detailed below.
