The Healing Crystal You Need, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Healing crystals are used in many cultures to clear blocked energy, promote healing, self-love, creativity, and wellness, and support manifestation practices.

According to certified shamanic energy medicine practitioner Colleen McCann, “Crystals are structured in such a way that they respond to the inputs of all different energies around them, so they oscillate, emitting specific vibratory frequencies.”

To use healing crystals, you have to first set your intention and make sure your crystal is cleansed and charged, and then you can use its healing energy. Crystals can be used when cleansing and balancing your Chakras. In fact, every Chakra in our body is associated with a certain crystal. For example, the Heart Chakra is represented by Rose Quartz, and the Third Eye Chakra is represented by Amethyst.

Choosing which healing crystal you need varies depending on your intentions and your own personal intuition towards a certain crystal. This is the healing crystal you might need, based on your zodiac sign:

Aries

Carnelian

This crystal is associated with the Sacral Chakra, which is all about intimacy and sexuality, and when this Chakra is blocked, one might feel less sensual and not in tune with their emotions. This crystal enhances sexuality and invites courage, energy, confidence, and motivation. Since Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, they find this crystal to be very healing.

Taurus

Rose Quartz

Ruled by Venus and aligned with the Heart Chakra, this is the perfect crystal for Taurus. When the Heart Chakra is balanced, Taureans might feel more compassionate, open, and patient. Known as the “Romance Stone” this crystal is believed to promote love, harmony, and sensuality. It can be used to manifest love and healing relationships as well.

Gemini

Fluorite

This crystal is known for its calming and stabilizing properties. Geminis are typically all over the place, mentally and physically, and have a hard time staying focused. This crystal can not only help Gemini’s memory and intuition — especially when making decisions — but can enhance mental clarity and focus.

Cancer

Citrine

This crystal brings a sense of emotional healing and protection to those who need it most. Cancers are often quite moody and emotional, and Citrine can bring a more positive outlook and energy to life. With its emotional healing properties, it can help release any negative blockages and foster self-love as well.

Leo

Pyrite

This crystal stimulates the Solar Plexus Chakra, and for Leo, this Chakra is about motivation and action. This crystal, also known as “Fool’s Gold” brings emotional resilience, confidence, and physical energy. It can also enhance creativity and concentration when manifesting goals.

Virgo

Blue Kyanite

This crystal is associated with the Throat Chakra, which aligns with Virgo who is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. It provides healing for Virgo by helping them listen to their intuition instead of their anxious feelings. It’s for emotional healing and can help provide clarity of thoughts — which can then help with expression and communication.

Libra

Lepidolite

Despite being the sign of balance, peace, and diplomacy, Libras tend to get themselves in situations where there is none of that. With this calming stone known as the “Stone of Transition,” Libra can use it to get out of old habits (avoiding conflict) and into new ones that are better for their personal growth.

Scorpio

Black Obsidian

Thought to offer protection from negative energy and spiritual grounding, this healing crystal is best for Scorpio. With the transformative nature of this water sign, this crystal can help let go of negative behaviors and bad habits and aid in self-awareness and personal growth. It can also enhance intuition.

Sagittarius

Tigers Eye

This crystal is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, which is the Chakra that Sagittarius aligns with the most. When this Chakra is blocked, Sag might feel a lack of motivation and lethargy, but this crystal provides courage, confidence, vigor, and motivation. It is also a crystal with grounding properties: it brings a sense of balance and stability–and that’s something Sag needs.

Capricorn

Garnet

This is considered the stone of passion and success, which is quite fitting for this disciplined earth sign. It’s associated with the Root Chakra and that Chakra is aligned with Capricorn. When this Chakra is blocked, Caps will feel anxious, unsure, and lost, but with the help of Garnet, they can feel more assertive, confident, and empowered.

Aquarius

Amethyst

This crystal can help with inner wisdom, spiritual growth, and insight. It aligns with the Crown Chakra, which is associated with Aquarius. With the healing properties of this crystal, it can bring creativity and clarity of thought, which is what this innovative, open-minded humanitarian needs.

Pisces

Aquamarine

Pisces are incredibly intuitive and are seen as the psychics of the zodiac. They feel drawn to this healing crystal not only because it has a calming energy, but because it is associated with spiritual growth and awareness. It brings emotional healing, clarity of thoughts, and the courage to talk about their feelings with others.
