For centuries people have looked to the stars for answers about what life would bring them. Whether it was using constellations to guide them to new lands or stars to determine important events in their lives the stars have been our guides. That may be why so many people are into astrology and their zodiac sign. These signs determined by when you were born can be a map to not only a personality but upcoming events in your life.
Astrology has always been used in combination with other forms of ritual and spell work. So it goes to say that when you look at your zodiac sign there are inevitably other elements and features that you can tie in to help enhance your healing practice or spell work. In fact, there are crystals associated with your zodiac signs that are more aligned with your energies due to the ruling planet and your signs.
Utilizing a crystal that is attached not only to your ruling planet, but your zodiac sign can help enhance your strengths as well as intentions. So in this quick guide, we're going to look at crystals that align with not only your sun sign but also your moon sign so that you can find the right crystal for you.
Wait a minute we have more than one sign? Most people are really familiar with the traditional sun sign which is the one that you see the horoscopes on all of the apps or astrological websites.
But if you're really in-depth into astrology then there probably has been a time when you had your whole birth chart laid out for you. When this happens three main categories provide an in-depth look into your personality. These are your sun sign, your moon sign, and your rising sign.
When you're asked what your sign is most people will reply with their sun sign. Though to get a full breadth of your entire being you have to understand each of the other signs. (Though we're not going to cover your rising sign in this, it does play an important part as it dictates your social personality.) Your sun sign correlates with your overall identity.
This is the sign that discusses who you are and the energies that you need to regain your power. For instance, if you are one of the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn) you may find that you are motivated by logical and basic material needs. This sun sign often finds that they are better at recharging when they're working, being productive, or utilizing all their senses.
The moon sign may be a lesser-known zodiac correlation, but it is just as important especially when it comes to healing practices or ritual work. (This sign is determined by the place of birth and time as well as the date.) Just like the sun sign corresponds to who you are on the outside, your moon sign is tied to your identity when it comes to your soul. This zodiac sign is wrapped up in your subconscious and is often what spurs on your emotional reactions to situations.
As an example, if you are a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) you may be very sensitive and emotional when it comes to changes in your life. Individuals that are these signs when it comes to their moon sign often find themselves feeling very deeply about situations and need to really concentrate on self-care and self-love.
But how are these crystals tied to the zodiac signs? Besides their overall healing and ritual energies, many of them are tied to the zodiac signs due to a couple of very important factors. Your sign is tied to a planet as well as an element and sometimes this correlation helps to determine the crystal that would correspond with your signs. So here is a chart for the planetary and element that is tied to your signs:

When it comes to a stone that matches with the zodiac sign hematite is a great option especially in dealing with mystical works.

Aquarian moons are very self-sufficient and intelligent. Whatever they set their mind to do they achieve it. But even with that focus they never forget to take care of themselves. Because of their independence though they may find it difficult to maintain romantic relationships.
Jasper can help with this. Its powers to take in energies and store them will allow the Aquarian moon to be able to juggle everything including that romantic relationship with more ease.
Gemini moons are always looking for a change and are super communicative. They can adapt to any situation easily and are super friendly. This moon sign can juggle a lot and do it with ease.
But because of this they often find themselves unable to really focus on one thing and needing attention continuously. This is why chrysocolla is so good. This crystal can bring new energies into the Gemini moon's path and do it in a balanced way to allow better focus.
Individuals with a cancer moon in their chart are strong-willed and fiercely independent. But even with that strength, they have a vulnerable side as well. Because of their independent nature, they like to have their own space to retreat to when they need to recharge.
For this reason, black onyx is a good crystal because it can be used to de-stress and let go of any negative energies. This will free them up to show their caring and fun-loving sides.
Scorpio moons tend to be super in tune with their highly powerful emotions. This passion brings with it energy and a focus when it comes to goals that they've set for themselves.
