Whether you believe in the horoscope or not, as a woman you wouldn’t be disliking the thought of getting the gemstone that represents your very own Zodiac Sign. Especially when each stone has a meaning. Also if it looks good on you then who are you to complain? Pretty is pretty and that’s that.
The holistic meanings in these stones can differ whether you look at the birthstones that are based on which month you were born into, or the astrological gemstones which go for what type of Zodiac Sign you were born in. Let’s learn what your stones are based on the latter, yeah?
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Born on this particular sign? If yes then the perfect stone for you is the Ruby. Rubies represents a lot of things altogether. To start it off, let’s go over the positive side which lists off characteristics such as being prudent and practical, being disciplined and ambitious, careful and patient as well as being reserved and humorous. The other side lists off a few like being grudging, miserly, fatalistic and pessimistic.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Garnet is the stone for the Aquarius people. This one represents the ones who are intellectual, independent, inventive, original, loyal, honest, humanitarian and friendly. I myself am an Aquarius and while I’m a bit skeptical over the positives, I CAN say that the negatives—detached, unemotional, unpredictable, perverse, contrary and intractable—are true.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Amethyst is the month of Pisces. This particular stone likes to represent the sympathetic, intuitive, unworldly, selfless, kid, compassionate, sensitive and the imaginative. That, and the easily led, weak-willed, vague, secretive, idealistic and the escapists.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
This Sign likes Bloodstone. Unsurprisingly, this one represents the quick-witted, dynamic, confident, enthusiastic, courageous, pioneering, energetic and the adventurous. But they can also be impatient, impulsive, quick-tempered and selfish.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Sapphire is the one for the Taurus folks. Sapphire is security-loving, placid, determined, persistent, loving, warmhearted, reliable and patient. It is also greedy. Self-indulgent, inflexible, resentful, possessive and jealous. If you’re looking for such beautiful pieces, there is an extensive collection of saphhire gems you can find on your trusted local jewellers and online.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Agate is for Gemini and it represents the lively, youthful, eloquent, intellectual, witty, communicative, versatile and the adaptable. On the other hand, it is also for the inquisitive, cunning, inconsistent, superficial, tense and nervous.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Surprisingly, Cancer likes Emerald. Aside from its magical abilities of health, this stone also represents the sympathetic, protective, cautious, shrewd, imaginative, intuitive, loving and the emotional. The negatives on this one goes for the people who are unable to let go, the one who like to cling, are touchy, overemotional, moody and changeable.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
We have Onyx for the Leo. Onyx is for the loving, faithful, expansive, broad-minded, enthusiastic, creative, warm-hearted and most of all, the generous. I find it particularly funny though that its negative side perfectly resemble a certain friend of mine who is also a Leo. He too is very intolerant, dogmatic, interfering, patronizing and pompous, as well as all the nice ones above.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
For the analytical, intelligent, diligent, practical, reliable, meticulous, shy and modest Virgo, we give the Carnelian, which also represents everything we’ve just listed off. And while all of those are true for the people of this Sign, they can also be conservative, perfectionists, harsh, overcritical, fussy and they worry too much.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
The stone we have for Libra is the Chrysolite. This gem likes to be represented as peaceable, idealistic, sociable, easygoing, charming, romantic, urbane and diplomatic. You’re going to have fun with this one because it is also self-indulgent, flirtatious, easily-influenced, gullible, changeable and indecisive.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
For the mysterious Scorpio, here we have Beryl which likes to represent the magnetic, exciting, passionate, powerful, intuitive, emotional, forceful and determined. Accurate, if you ask me. The stone also refers to the obstinate, secretive, obsessive, impulsive, resentful and jealous. I don’t know any Scorpio people but you let me know if this is true for these people, alright?
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
And lastly for this sign, it has the Citrine. Citrine is the one to represent the people who are philosophical, intellectual, straightforward, honest, good-humored, jovial, freedom-loving and optimistic. I find this endearing because my mum is also a Sagittarius and all of these are basically her. On the other hand, she is also very restless, tactless, superficial, sometimes irresponsible, careless and blindly optimistic. Right to the T.
