How to Use Crystals Astrologically

  1. 1
    Wear a crystal that corresponds to your zodiac sign. Putting a crystal that supports your weaknesses or strengths around your neck or wrist can align your energy. Ask yourself, “What do I need help with?” Wearing a crystal’s who’s energetic properties balance your own can help you be the best version of yourself.[7]
    • Say you’re a Capricorn and have been struggling with self-confidence. Wearing a rose quartz necklace can help you feel more energetically confident.
    • If jewelry isn’t your thing, no problem! Carrying a crystal around in your pocket or bag can have a similar effect.
    • If you’re not sure what you need right now, don’t sweat it. Wear your zodiac sign’s life stone to support your best qualities.
    • Crystals or life stones that correspond with your zodiac sign are not the same as your birth stone. Birth stones depend on single months, whereas life stones and crystal properties rely on astrological seasons.
  2. 2
    Meditate with the season’s corresponding crystal. The astrological season can affect your mood and day-to-day life. For example, you may feel more sensitive during Cancer season.[8] Taking the time to meditate while holding a crystal of the current season may just help you align with the current energetic forces.
    • Aries season: March 20 - April 18
    • Taurus season: April 19 - May 20
    • Gemini season: May 21 - June 20
    • Cancer season: June 21 to July 22
    • Leo season: July 23 - August 22
    • Virgo season: August 23 - September 22
    • Libra season: September 23 - October 22
    • Scorpio season: October 23 - November 21
    • Sagittarius season: November 22 - December 21
    • Capricorn season: December 22 - January 19
    • Aquarius season: January 20 - February 18
    • Pisces season: February 19 - March 19
    • Let the force of the crystal guide you, picking up the one that speaks to you at the time of mediation.
  3. 3
    Balance your chakras with crystals. Your chakras fuel your energy, and spiritual forces energize your chakras. Laying on top of or holding crystals that align your chakras and correspond with the astrological season can help you heal your energy when planets are in retrograde.
    • For example, you can align your throat chakra with Amazonite during Mercury’s retrograde to promote communication and honesty.x
    • Balancing chakras with crystals is a form of crystal therapy that aligns and channels energy through vibrational frequencies.
  4. 4
    Charge your crystals under the moon for energetic healing. There are many ways you can charge your crystals, but doing so under the moon can promote healing and reflection. Along with this, the moon can also infuse your crystals with the astrological properties of a zodiac.
    • For example, if you charge your crystals under the moon during Taurus season, your crystals will gain strength, resilience, and humbling properties.
    • Charging a crystal of a zodiac under a moon during its season will maximize its energetic potential.
  5. 5
    Enhance spells and rituals with planetary energy. For centuries, witches have used crystals and the stars to perform spells and wield energy. Understanding the stars and how they align with specific crystals can tell you what crystals to use for specific times and situations.[9]
    • For example, you may charge rose quartz under a Libra moon or Venus retrograde to craft a romance charm or love potion.
