Staying Grounded & Connected to your True Self | Crystals for the New Moon in Aquarius

For the New Moon in Aquarius we are looking at three helpers from the mineral kingdom whose properties are particularly complementary to this airy sign...

‍

1. Black Onyx

Aquarius is associated with the root chakra Muladhara, the foundational "I AM" at the core of our identity & emotional blueprint.

‍

‍Black Onyx is a centering and balancing stone that promotes emotional strength, helping to stop bottling up emotions, reduce self-doubt, and face one's fears. Its energy also serves to reduce stress and improve decision-making, supporting all of one's future endeavors.

‍

2. Amethyst

Another correspondence is with The Star card of the tarot, which is about reconnecting one's soul with the divine, the freedom to be one's self; the celestial influences that can provide a stronger sense of purpose, reason for being, our mission in this lifetime.

‍

Amethyst is a perfect crystal for traveling back to one's own truth, strange and beautiful as it is. The name of this crystal comes from the Ancient Greek origin, a-, "not" and methysko "intoxicate." Together, "not intoxicated" - we can interpret this to mean "not distracted," as in re-aligned with one's core being and mission; inner tranquility and serenity restored!

3. Garnet

Another stone of the root chakra, red Garnet is a crystal of love and commitment that helps us hold true to our dreams and plans for the future. Garnet brings passion and fire, along with a steady grounding energy that promotes physical energy and emotional strength.

‍

Cleanses and re-energizes the chakras, activates and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope. Garnet can ground us into our practical mind, and physical environment. Garnet can help sharpen perceptions of one’s self, and others. It opens the heart and bestows self-confidence.
