Aquarius (21 Dec - 20 Jan) - Garnet, Lapis Lazuli, Obsidian and Tourmaline.
SYMBOL: Astral 'Water' Bearer
PLANET: Saturn / Uranus
FLOWER: Orchid
Masculine | Fixed Air
Aquarius is a sign that can often confuse people, but no, it isn't a water sign! It is an air sign. The fluid that Aquarius pours from their large urn-like vessel is actually meant to be Ether.
Aquarius is known for being progressive, independent, unique, idealistic, intelligent, and highly creative—not to mention a little quirky! They love to be different, sometimes just for the sake of being different. Aquarians seem to love to defy categorization. While some Aquarians are quiet and gentle, others are exuberant and energetic. Being an Aquarius usually means being original and a little eccentric.
Aquarius loves to spend time deep in thought, especially when it comes to matters of society. They want to do whatever they can to improve the world and to help others. This is where their humanitarian side comes into play; they long to initiate positive change, an essential quality of Uranus, the modern ruling planet of Aquarius.
Aquarius might be one of the more intelligent signs, but this tendency for deep thinking can sometimes lead to condescension. Aquarians are often convinced that what they think must be right and that therefore everyone else is wrong. Amethyst helps Aquarius draw the energies of the ruling planet Uranus more effectively stabilizing the personality and temperament of Aquarius, a sign that shies away from expressing emotions and can sometimes seem aloof and uncompromising.
Aquarians often embrace their creativity and uniqueness, even if it makes them stand out from others in a slightly odd or unconventional way. This quality tends to draw them toward anything new, interesting, or "out there," such as edgy fashion, sci-fi/fantasy, the avant-garde, and the latest technology.
Use Amethyst for:
Enhancing the communicative nature of Aquarius.
Calming the mind.
Gives its wearer a clearer vision.
Helps Aquarians to be more open to the suggestions.
Some more great Aquarius crystals are:
Garnet – Sharing a ruling planet with Capricorn means that both signs have a strong connection with the deep, heavy Garnet. Garnet is said to be a symbol of truth, purity, and personal power. It is also considered the Stone of Commitment and as such, it helps Aquarius to hold true to their dreams and plans for the future. 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 helps them develop new friendships.
Amazonite – Amazonite’s energy is thought to be that of personal truth, allowing Aquarius to express their heart’s truth through communication. It can help those who tend to repress expressing their thoughts and feelings due to fear of confrontation or conflict. This stone assists Aquarius in identifying how words have created their current reality. As a result, it shows them how to change their vocabulary or communication style to reflect a higher, more aligned reality.
Labradorite - Labradorite awakens the spirit and helps Aquarius improve their connection to the Divine. This supports their visionary qualities, balancing inspiration with insight. It carries a beautiful combination of water and fire energy, which provides Aquarians with a unique combination of patience and passion that serves them well in their forward-moving goals.
Aquamarine - Aquamarine is one of the best Aquarius crystals, helping Aquarius to transform their thoughts into reality and supporting their humanitarian endeavours by bringing them compassion, empathy and an inspired sense of service to humanity. This is a light-hearted crystal that helps them go with the flow and reduce their stress. It also promotes authenticity and helps them feel more comfortable with themselves, especially when they feel like an outsider since they think so far in advance of most people.
Whether you are a Aquarius, Sun, Moon or Rising what these crystals all have in common is that they encourage all the best aspects of Aquarius to take the forefront.
