The *PERFECT* Crystal for your Zodiac Sign

We all love the Zodiac. It's a mysterious way of characterizing who we are based on the wonder of the constellations. There are good traits to each sign... and there are bad traits to each sign. But, did you know that there is one specific crystal for each zodiac sign which directly combats that sign's negative traits?

Read on to see which crystal will help YOU based on your zodiac.

Aries : Bloodstone

Aries is an egotistical, impatient know-it-all who starts new projects with a fierce passion and an intense drive, then quits halfway through from fear of failure. She has an overwhelming fear of dying without having accomplished anything worth being remembered. Bloodstone brings a grounding energy to Aries, helping to calm the hyped-up ram into following through with her goals using clear, organized actions.

Taurus : Rose Quartz

Taurus is over-emotional and clingy, latching onto others in the hopes of being provided for financially and emotionally. But she is stuck with the belief that her way is the only way, and slowly tries to change the people around her to match what she sees as "ideal" in her mind. This is why Taurus needs Rose Quartz to help her see the good in everyone and in every situation, even if it is not in line with what she wants. Rose Quartz will also show Taurus that love is found from within, not from the affection of others.

Gemini : Citrine

Gemini is intelligent but crazy, with emotions that jump to the moon and then fall to the center of the earth. She hates to be alone and sometimes drives others away from vocalizing all of her thoughts, good or bad. Citrine gives a boost of happy energy which prevents Gemini from falling too low, while also stimulating this sign's quick mind.

Cancer : Moonstone

Those born under the Cancer sign are loving and kind, preferring to stay at home with close friends than to go out on the town meeting strangers. This apparent innocence is cute until you get to know Cancer; she gets her claws out at seemingly random times because of the mood swings happening within her which are usually about, well, nothing. Since this sign is ruled so strongly by the phases of the moon, only moonstone can help regulate Cancer's emotions and fill her with self-confidence and an understanding of others.

Leo : Tiger Eye

If you talk to Leo, you'll get an earful about how fantastic she is at literally everything. When it comes to consistent friendship, she might be right since Leos are known for their loyalty. However, what is seen on the outside is often bravado for what is felt within and Leos are no exception. They have very strong emotions which affect their decision making. Tiger Eye helps Leo to focus and brings fairness into her thoughts and decisions. It is the only stone that can keep Leo on track without being too emotional or too confident.

Virgo : Red Jasper

When you think of Virgo, your mind might immediately jump to a stone with a soft energy, like rose quartz, because Virgo is a softer sign. Virgo often refuses praise, even after working harder than everyone else around her. While modesty seems like a good trait, it actually dips into Virgo's pool of self confidence and slowly depletes it until she feels vulnerable and sad. Red Jasper teaches Virgo to own her hard work and accept praise willingly because she deserves it. It is an empowerment stone and it will help Virgo be the hero of her own story.

Libra : Lapis Lazuli

Libra is a confident and fair non-conformist who will do what she wants when she wants. The problem is, she never knows what she wants. It takes Libra AGES to make a simple decision which leads to unnecessary periods of anxiety. Lapis Lazuli is a stone of communication which strengthens the dialogue between head and heart. It helps the indecisive Libra make decisions based on honest communication within herself, and boosts her self-confidence.

Scorpio : Obsidian

Scorpio is probably the most popular "moody" sign. And for good reason. Scorpios are emotional. Period. They are also loyal, funny, loving, honest, and one of the best friends you will ever have. Obsidian protects Scorpio from the negative energies constantly surrounding her, waiting to take over her emotions. With this protection in place, Scorpios become one of the strongest signs of them all.

Sagittarius : Turquoise

Sagittarius is an adventurer and a thinker. She is constantly trying to find the next great thing on which to focus her energy. A great friend, a family woman, and a natural born leader, there is very little wrong with this sign. Occasionally, Sagittarius can be tactless, so consumed in her own world that she doesn't realize what is happening around her. Turquoise is a protective stone for this traveling sign and helps her communicate with a bit more elegance than normal. It also promotes self-understanding which Sagittarius needs since she is constantly focusing on other interests and ignoring herself.

Capricorn : Azurite

Capricorns can't step into a room without feeling an uncontrollable desire to take charge of whatever is happening. They are disciplined managers with a good sense of responsibility. But they are also unforgiving, condescending, and think they are better than everyone else in that same room. With such strong traits, Capricorn needs an equally strong crystal. Azurite helps Capricorn trust others to do a good job in their endeavors and teaches her to let go of negatively charged thoughts about others. It's a calming stone that will help Capricorn focus on her own path and teach her to accept that everyone has their own process which can't be controlled.

Aquarius : Amethyst

Aquarius is a modern, independent woman who takes time for herself when it's needed. She is a bit temperamental and struggles to deal with her own emotions. She may not know that she has visionary qualities given unto her by her ruling planet of Uranus. Delving into the mystical world of amethyst will help this sign realize her own potential in the spiritual world, while also calming any worries she has about the emotions swirling inside of her. Since this sign has it all-together in the physical world, it is important for Aquarius to start her metaphysical journey.

Pisces : Aquamarine

Pisces are loving, beautiful souls. They are wise, very often artistic, and find themselves constantly surrounded by friends that they attract with their intoxicating kindness. However, they can easily find themselves trying to escape from this world of fun and friends into a world of their own sadness. While they do enjoy being alone, it is in this state that Pisces starts to feel sorry for herself and pretends that her life is depressing and difficult, when in reality everything is fine. It is a way for this sign to get attention from others. Aquamarine helps balance this flow of friends and sadness to something more manageable for the sensitive Pisces. Aquamarine is a a communication stone which helps Pisces realize why she is feeling sad and for which reasons she is trying to get attention.
