Aquarius Crystals

It doesn’t require much thought to say that crystals are gorgeous, but they’re so much more than just an aesthetic piece. Depending on their molecular makeup, shape, color and related elements, crystals are useful for various healing purposes. However, the date and time a person is born also determines the way they are affected by certain healing crystals. Your zodiac sign as well as the current position of the sun in said sign plays a very important role as far as which crystals you should choose. Our characteristics and personality as well as the situations we face have a lot to do with zodiac signs and the way each is affected by specific crystals. This is where healing crystals come in. Healing crystals are used to center the body, mind, and spirit as well as aligning the chakras and purifying the aura. Understanding how different crystals affect what areas of your being can be quite helpful in getting through life on a daily basis as well as for the long term. In this article, we’ll discuss Aquarius traits and characteristics, how Aquarius season affects us regardless of our sign, and Aquarius crystals in various aspects of healing.  

Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)

Element: Air (fixed)

Planets: Uranus, Saturn 

Although Aquarius’s symbol is the water bearer, it is an air sign which means that people born under Aquarius are naturally gifted thinkers and communicators. They do well with turning their ideas into reality and know how to get their messages across. Aquarians are independent dreamers, but they also work well with others to get the job done. Determined and relentless, people born under Aquarius never give up and are known to keep moving forward; no matter what the path ahead looks like, they believe in creating their own. Even with a strong sense of moral values and independence, they believe in adaptability and welcome change in an ever-developing world. Similar to their ruling planet Uranus (planet of discovery and innovation), they are creative explorers, always planning ahead and thinking of how they can create the best life for themselves and the people they love. Standing strong in what you believe, often comes with a price (or many) which is why Aquarians can sometimes seem cold or stubborn, but this is only because they are loyal and true to themselves and their companions. Having a perception that is black and white, they are prone to mood swings as they can’t quite seem to find the middle ground; they either are or they aren’t. During the Aquarius season, many of these strengths and weaknesses will most likely become amplified in the energy surrounding us, affecting our lives in a variety of ways. Listed below are twelve best Aquarius Crystals and how we can harness their energy to our benefit. But first, let’s understand the importance and benefits of cleansing and charging your Aquarius Crystals. 

Cleansing and Charging your Aquarius Crystals  

Every person who has handled a crystal, has involuntarily made an energetic impression upon it, which will in turn be inevitably passed on to you. So even though some stones cleanse and charge themselves, and unless you’ve personally mined for them and they have  come directly from the earth, it’s important to cleanse and charge them yourself. One of the simpler ways to cleanse and charge your crystals is by giving them a bath in either regular water or moon water and then leaving the stones out in sunlight for anywhere between three hours to three days. Most healing crystals can also be paired with selenite to cleanse, charge and amplify their energies. You can even go a step further and repeat the process of cleansing in a water bath that’s been left under moonlight and then follow up with drying them in the sun. After each time you’ve cleansed your crystals, it’s also important to form a bond between yourself and the stones. Bonding with your aquarius crystals is quite simple. In the same way that healing stones lend energy, they also absorb it. In order to make aquarius crystals your own, simply hold them in your hands, meditate with them and wear or carry them often. This imprints your energy on the stone, forming a bond that allows for smooth communication between the crystal and the wearer.

Keep pyrite on the cash register if you own a business, or in the workspace to bring good fortune. 

Aquarius Crystals Pairing 

Most healing crystals can be paired to combine their energies for various purposes. For example, light can be combined with dark or two stones of a similar color, but be careful when pairing stones of the same energy as this can sometimes lead to drastically high or low emotional states. The Aquarius crystals listed can also be paired with either Black Tourmaline for added protective energy or with Selenite for amplified properties as well as added clarity. From January 20th to February 18th, the sun is in Aquarius which is called Aquarius season and we’re all affected by its energy, regardless of our zodiac sign. It’s important to understand how Aquarius energy impacts us so we can better adapt to this time and work to overcome the trials they bring. If you’re an Aquarius, you’ll feel these energies more than others. Utilizing Aquarius Crystals and their healing energy in meditation and other forms of spiritual therapy will assist in alleviating most if not all of the negative effects of this time as well as helping to improve your character in a more long-term sense.
