An Aquarius Meets Crystals

INSIDE: These 6 crystals are powerful tools that can help those with the Aquarius sun sign to achieve greater balance and accomplish their goals and dreams with more ease.

Who art thou Aquarius?

Approximately January 19 – February 18

The Aquarius symbol is the Water Bearer, which symbolizes the washing away of the past to bring in a new future. The energy of Aquarius inspires us to start anew and supports us in transforming our lives for the better.

Aquarius sun signs are revolutionary, never following the crowd or afraid to try new things. As they set out to pave their own path forward, they move full steam ahead. Don’t get in their way or they might plow right through you. They are unpredictable, rebellious, and original. They are always dreaming of the future, making plans, and they are out to change the world. Their forward thinking is usually well ahead of everyone else, which can lead them to feel like outsiders as they wait for others to catch up. As they bravely charter new territories, they can often become drained and unbalanced as they give too much of themselves. They need to learn to balance their forward moving energy with self-care and down time.

When they are at their worst, they withdraw from everything and everyone and they keep their emotions bottled up. They can be easily offended and offensive, and forgiveness doesn’t come easily for them.

At their best, this air element is friendly and inspirational. Aquarians are humanitarian and idealistic, always ready to fight for a cause. They value truth, independence, and intelligence.

These are the people who invent new technologies and set out to change things that no one else will.

The ruling planets of Aquarius are Saturn and Uranus.

Now you might be wondering; how do my crystals affect me? And which ones would benefit me most as a Aquarius?

6 Crystals to Support & Balance Aquarian Energy

With the help of crystals, Aquarius natives can enhance their natural gifts and improve their weaknesses. Zodiac stones emit unique frequencies that can work together with our personal energy fields to support and balance us.

It’s important to note that when the sun is in Aquarius, we all will feel the energy of Aquarius working in our lives, no matter what month we were born in. Therefore, these Aquarius crystals can be helpful to us all during that time of the year (January 20th through February 18th).

Amethyst

Amethyst is the primary, ancient birthstone for Aquarius, an air sign. You can say, it’s their power stone. It helps bring the Aquarian native in touch with their intuition and spiritual guidance. By doing so, it helps Aquarians determine the best course of action as they move into their new future. It also helps to reduce the stress that comes along with their need to change the world, and it gives them patience as they wait for others to catch up to their big ideas.

Moreover, it can help the distant Aquarian be more receptive to suggestions and advice from others. As a result, they can have more harmonious personal and professional relationships.

Since Amethyst is a symbol of transmutation, it also indicates an alchemical process encompassing the physical, emotional and spiritual nature. Interestingly, amethyst has also been used to treat addiction.

Amethyst helps in the effective conduction of energies of the ruling planet Uranus and makes it sympathetic to the wearer so that the difficulties are taken care of and life becomes smoother.

Hematite

Hematite is a crystal that carries a strong, grounding energy, helping to bring this air element back down to earth. It has detoxifying properties, helping Aquarius natives to wash away their past, and replacing negative emotions with strength and vitality. It boosts confidence, reduces stress and worry, and improves Aquarius’ ability to manifest great things. Hematite is a modern birthstone for Aquarius.

In fact, Hematite can suit every Zodiac sign. Every person can wear this stone from time to time, but some may experience problems when they leave them on their body for too long.

No wonder, it is ferrimagnetic (weak magnetism) and can have a profound influence on the human energy field. The very fact that Hematite is magnetic among the huge variety of metaphysical stones that are non-magnetic, indicates that we have a mineral with some pretty amazing properties. Another important feature that cannot be neglected is that Hematite is an iron based stone. Surely, a huge number of crystals and stones have some iron in their structure, but in Hematite, iron is the dominant constituent.

Hematite, in contrast to many other popular crystals and stones, is a rather strange, heavy stone. Its very name is surrounded by mystery. The ancient people used to call it blood stone, which, looking at a piece of polished Hematite, looks rather peculiar. However, when this stone is shaped and polished, for example, by using a whetstone wheel, it bleeds and produces stains that resemble blood.

There is no stone quite like Hematite when it comes to effecting the blood. Hematite protects the blood circulation, and heals the red blood cells’ deficiency. It is also a great stone for treating and healing wounds and cuts. When working with Hematite, one should avoid contact with water. Hematite can be charged and cleansed at the same time if put on top of a pile of Rock crystals. Hematite itself is capable of cleansing a number of other crystals and stones.

Preparing Hematite elixir is not recommended. It is better to put several Hematite stones in direct contact with the skin. Being a stone of such a potent and raw power, it is recommended to combine it with some other crystals.

It is associated with Aquarius because it is especially effective in eliminating self-imposed limitations. Hematite also has powerful self-healing properties, especially when it comes to issues that involves your past. It allows you to process these issues in a healthy manner, then let go of them so you can focus on the present moment and move forward with your goals for the future.

Whenever you feel too much negative energy around you or when you feel anxious or stressed out, turn to Hematite to help relieve you of energies that you don’t want in your life. It’s also useful to place a hematite stone in your office and at home to temper negative energies within yourself and from others.

Garnet

Garnet is well-known as one of the best crystals for Aquarians, and is also one of the ancient birthstones. It is also considered the Stone of Commitment.

It brings passion and fire, along with a steady grounding energy that promotes physical energy and emotional strength. It inspires truth, something Aquarians crave, and it even helps them develop new friendships. For Aquarians who can sometimes be a little cold, Garnet will light the fire within.

It’s known to strengthen spiritual healing and increase diligence, strength, tenacity, and commitment.

Especially for Aquarius women, Lapis lazuli will be a great addition, as it will stimulate their wisdom and creativity. Closely related to Saturn, this is the perfect gemstone to wear when it is this planet's turn to rule.

Before Uranus was discovered in 1781, Saturn was the ruling planet of Aquarius. Lapis lazuli is the gemstone associated with Saturn, and hence may also be Aquarius birthstone. This Aquarius stone is a relatively rare, bright blue gemstone.

Blood Stone

BLOODSTONE is a HERO’S stone. It can instill courage in dangerous situations (like everyday life) and protects us from our own dangerous inclinations and desires. Bloodstone is an intense healing stone, and has the ability to balance the base, navel, sacral, and heart chakras.

Bloodstone helps one see the benefits of change, and to recognize the benefit of “turmoil prior to perfection”. Sometimes you need to break something down, an old habit or pattern of behavior before it can be rebuilt in a healthier way.

The primary message of bloodstone is “Be Here Now!” It can revitalize love, relationships, and friendships. Helps to let go of selfish behavior and renews idealistic outlook on life. Also enhances one’s natural abilities, talent, and creativity.

Christians often used bloodstone to carve scenes of the crucifixion and martyrs, leading it to also be dubbed martyr’s stone. The legend of the origin of bloodstone says that it was first formed when some drops of Christ’s blood fell and stained some jasper at the foot of the cross.
