One of our absolute most asked questions is which crystals are for my star sign? However I’m not sure anyone really understands the reasons WHY certain crystals align with particular star signs, so I’m going to delve into this topic to help you understand why.
There are few different reasons as to why star signs & crystals align and it all comes down to vibrational frequencies and how they can complement & balance each other.
Energy and Vibration
Crystals are thought to emit specific vibrations that can influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Different crystals are believed to resonate with different frequencies that can either amplify or balance the energies of a particular star sign as each star sign also has its own energy, characteristics & challenges. For example, Aries is associated with action, confidence, and impulsiveness, while Taurus is linked to stability, patience, and a love for beauty, so coupling Aries with a fiery red crystal can help to balance these personality traits and along with this taurus aligns well with rose quartz for loving energy.
Elemental Correspondences
The zodiac is divided into four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. Each element represents certain qualities and traits:
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Passion, energy, action.
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Stability, practicality, grounding.
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Intellect, communication, adaptability.
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Emotion, intuition, fluidity.
Crystals are also associated with these elements. For example, grounding stones like Hematite and Smoky Quartz are linked to the Earth element, while emotional and intuitive stones like Moonstone and Aquamarine are connected to the Water element.
Planetary Rulership
Each star sign is ruled by a specific planet, which influences the traits and characteristics of that sign. For example, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, bringing themes of love, beauty, and harmony, while Cancer is ruled by the moon with calming, tranquil energy. Crystals are sometimes chosen based on their association with these ruling planets. For example, Emerald, associated with Venus, is a crystal for love and beauty, aligning with Taurus and Libra, and the Moon is associated with Moonstone aligning with Cancer.
Chakra Correspondences
Each zodiac sign is believed to resonate with certain chakras (energy centres in the body). For instance, Leo is associated with the solar plexus chakra, reflecting its themes of confidence & inner power. Crystals are often used to balance and heal specific chakras. Therefore, crystals that correspond to a sign’s dominant chakra are considered beneficial. For example, Yellow Jasper, which heals the solar plexus chakra, aligns with Leo’s confident energy.
The alignment of star signs with specific crystals is based on the belief in the unique vibrational energies of both. By choosing crystals that resonate with the energies of their astrological sign, individuals can enhance their strengths, balance their weaknesses, and support overall well-being. This practice combines elements of astrology, chakra healing, and crystal therapy to create a holistic approach to personal growth and healing.
