Astrology maps the sky, crystals ground the earth – and for centuries, people have looked to both for insight.
So, it only makes sense that each zodiac sign carries traits that can either be supported or balanced by a specific stone’s energy.
That’s probably why certain crystals might just click with you, feeling surprisingly natural and personal. And if you haven’t found yours yet? Keep reading – it’s waiting.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Crystal match: Carnelian
Aries leads with fire, energy and that unstoppable ‘act-first-ask-questions-later’ attitude we all know and love.
Carnelian keeps that flame burning bright; without tipping into burnout. Its warm, orange glow feeds courage and motivation – perfect for when your to-do list is longer than your patience.
How to use it: Carry carnelian on the days you’re starting something new. It’ll help you channel your energy, without forcing it.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try diamond or bloodstone, instead. There are a few stones for each zodiac, so you might need to kiss a couple frogs before you find the one for you – so to speak.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Crystal match: Rose Quartz
Taurus thrives on stability, loyalty and life’s little comforts – which is exactly why rose quartz has been paired with your sign for centuries.
Known as the ‘stone of the heart’, it’s been used in rituals to boost love, patience and emotional balance. So, for Taurus, it’s a steady presence that keeps your energy balanced (and reminds you that self-care isn’t optional).
How to use it: Keep rose quartz on your desk, nightstand or anywhere you’ll actually see it (it won’t do you any good buried at the bottom of your bag).
And if this doesn’t work?: Try emerald or agate. These stones may be very different when it comes to looks and vibe, but both can be considered birthstones for May – so don’t count them out.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Crystal match: Citrine
Geminis are curious, restless and, unfortunately for some, always two steps ahead.
Citrine has been prized for centuries for its ability to sharpen focus and encourage clarity, while also lifting energy and brightening perspective.
So, for Gemini, it’s the kind of crystal that will help to channel that whirlwind of thoughts into something tangible – before it drowns in all the rest of your mental chatter (no offence).
How to use it: Keep citrine nearby while working, sketching or brainstorming. It’ll help to gently nudge your ideas into shape.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try pearl or moonstone – but don’t wear them together. They’re both moon gemstones, and combining their energies usually negates them both. Not exactly ideal.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Crystal match: Moonstone
Cancers feel everything, often before anyone else even notices. Heaps of fun, right guys?
Moonstone has long been associated with intuition and emotional insight, reflecting the rhythms and cycles that shape your inner world.
For Cancer, it’ll help you to make sense of your feelings, trust your instincts and stay balanced – even when emotions are running high.
How to use it: Wear moonstone close to your heart or keep it within reach – it’ll act as a subtle anchor for that emotional tide of yours.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try ruby and pearl. Yes, I know. Pearl strikes again. But trust me on this – pearl has a strong history of creating emotional balance. Just like ruby has a strong history of inspiring strength and confidence!
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Crystal match: Sunstone
Leos effortlessly – and famously – radiate energy. But even the most confident signs need a little boost sometimes.
Sunstone enhances that natural warmth all you Leos have, helping you to show up fully without overdoing it. (Not saying you ever overdo it please don’t get mad at me.)
It sparks confidence and clarity, making it easier to step into the spotlight without second-guessing yourself.
How to use it: Keep sunstone close before meetings, presentations or any moment where you want to own your space.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try peridot, ruby or tiger’s eye. Lucky Leos, you get 3 substitutes! Use them wisely…
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Crystal match: Amazonite
Virgos notice all the small details and patterns the world might miss. Both a blessing and a curse, that observance of yours.
Amazonite eases that constant mental activity, softening self-criticism and creating the space for clarity. It helps you to stay practical, while still letting a little perspective in. Basically, it helps to take the overthinking out of your decision making.
How to use it: Keep amazonite nearby while working or journaling. Its steady presence is there to offer you some insight.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try sapphire or carnelian. Visually, you may think these stones are polar opposites – but that’s a good thing. If you’re after some more warmth in your life, go for a carnelian. But if you’re more interested in a cool-down period, sapphire’s got you covered.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Crystal match: Sodalite
Libras are endlessly tuned into the world around them. You notice moods, weigh options, and try to keep everyone happy along the way (thanks, guys).
But, that attentiveness can sometimes make it tricky to express what you really mean.
Sodalite supports honest, grounded communication, helping you to speak clearly and confidently so your voice carries the weight it deserves.
How to use it: Wear sodalite as a pendant or keep it nearby during difficult conversations as a subtle way to strengthen your ability to communicate.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try opal or peridot – or a combination of both. Because with opal’s vibrant colours and peridot’s vivid green, these two stones make quite a popular pairing for harmony and awareness.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Crystal match: Obsidian
Scorpios are drawn to depth – the hidden layers, the secret corners, the unsolved conspiracy theory about the Titanic, etc.
That intensity is part of your magnetism, but it also means you need something that keeps you grounded while you explore the secrets of the universe.
Obsidian, born from raw volcanic energy, has long been used as a shield and mirror – deflecting negativity while revealing what’s real beneath the surface.
How to use it: Keep obsidian near your entryway or workspace as protection, and as a reminder of your own power to cut through the noise.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try topaz or aquamarine – two distinctly mineral species. Known for bringing joy and inspiring courage, respectively, these are some stones you’ll want on your side.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Crystal match: Turquoise
Sagittarius doesn’t just wander – you charge headfirst into whatever calls your name. Very fun of you.
Turquoise matches that fearless streak. For centuries it’s been carried as a symbol of protection, but it also keeps your words honest and your spirit untamed. It’s the kind of stone that says: go explore – and trust yourself while you’re at it.
How to use it: Slip turquoise into your pocket or pack it for the ride – a no-fuss reminder that adventure is exactly where you belong.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try tanzanite or citrine. Citrine, known for bringing abundance and success, certainly couldn’t hurt – while tanzanite can help deepen your spiritual awareness if some soul-searching is in order.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Crystal match: Garnet
Ambition isn’t just a buzzword for Capricorn – it’s a way of life. Actually, though. You truly know how to set a goal and keep climbing until you reach it.
Garnet has been tied to strength and prosperity for centuries, making it a natural match for that determination. Its energy sharpens focus and restores stamina, so the work feels sustainable instead of relentless.
How to use it: Keep garnet in sight while tackling long-term projects – a quiet reminder that persistence pays off.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try blue sapphire or blue topaz. Yes, blue specifically. Don’t ask questions. Blue sapphire will help you to protect yourself against negative energies, while blue topaz will help you to express yourself authentically as you go about your business.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Crystal match: Amethyst
Aquarius looks ahead. Always scanning the horizon, always chasing what’s possible. That kind of perspective is a gift, but it can pull you out of the present.
Amethyst steps in here – long valued for its protective and intuitive energy. It calms the noise, sharpens your inner voice and makes room for the ideas that actually matter. (Brushing away the ideas that only partly matter.)
How to use it: Keep amethyst by your bed – it’s said to bring clarity through rest and the kind of insights that show up in dreams.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try garnet and turquoise – together. Because, combined, these two stones create a powerful talisman for embracing change and pursuing your passions.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Crystal match: Aquamarine
Pisces lives in the in-between – dream and reality, intuition and emotion, staying composed and ugly crying at dog commercials. That dichotomy keeps things interesting, but it can also leave you feeling unmoored.
Aquamarine brings in balance: cooling, steady and clear as water. It encourages courage without force and keeps your creativity moving without letting the tides pull you under. It’s also a fun watery stone for all you fishy friends.
How to use it: Keep aquamarine close when you dive into a new project – it helps imagination flow while giving it shape.
And if this doesn’t work?: Try amethyst and bloodstone. When making a decision that feels like drawing blood from a… stone (haha), these two can work together to calm the mind and dispel confusion.
These stones still aren’t clicking with you? Double check your moon and rising signs – you may be embracing more of their influence than you realise.
