Gemstones of the Zodiac
View Zodiacal Table of Gemstones

The idea of a birthstone connected with the month of your birth is based in traditional astrology. Mystics and shamans believe that each stone has its own unique character and abilities too. Some stones are healers; others are aids to concentration; some are warriors; some are good for business. Rob Tillett explains that you need to get to know and understand your friend from the mineral kingdom.

Each of the signs of the zodiac rules a particular gemstone, a fact which has been widely used in jewelry from time immemorial. Conversely, each gem conducts the energies of the particular sign or planet with which it is sympathetic. Wearing the stone of your sign will focus the energies of the sign through the gem, enabling their expression in your daily life. The energy of the sign is channelled through the planet placed there (usually the Sun, Moon, or planetary ruler) and this energy is expressed and focused through the corresponding gem.

Yet no stone is wholly composed of the energies of one single sign, or planet (no stone is pure Aries, nor pure Mars, for example). Each natural material, each crystalline structure holds a blend of correspondences. Bear in mind that the planets may not readily express the energies of the signs, if poorly placed or aspected (something you can only find through your horoscope and with the help of an experienced astrologer). Wearing an inappropriate stone can bring great difficulties into our lives. The acceleration of karma brings the potential for increased consciousness, but at the risk of considerable hardship.

Unique Properties

Every gemstone has its own unique properties: colour, crystalline structure, hardness and so on. Each stone has its own unique character and abilities too. Some stones are healers; others are aids to concentration; some are warriors; some are good for business. There is an elemental consciousness in gemstones, a being if you will, that reflects the way nature can help us work towards greater awareness and growth in consciousness. You need to get to know and understand your friend from the mineral kingdom. Match the stone wisely with the radiance of your horoscope; only then can you experience prosperity, happiness, growth and other benefits.

The idea of a birthstone connected with the month of your birth is based in their astrological correspondence. However, thanks to Pope Greg, our calendar has been revised and the months no longer correspond exactly with the signs. Hence some confusion has arisen. The following table shows some widely-accepted modern, traditional and mystical rulerships for each sign, but in truth each sign rules many stones – and there is some disagreement among authorities as to which stone rules what! In fact, thanks to our 21C energy solutions technology, you can receive the beneficial gemstone energies in a more constant and reliable (and cheaper) transmission via our Energy Egg system, so if you are serious, check that out too.

If you select your Health Sign from the table at the bottom of this page, you can get reliable info on gems, jewels and other correspondences, such as metals, herbs, cell salts and so on.

NOTE: in Indian Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish, gems are assigned to planets, rather than signs. See The Hidden Magic of Gems and The Healing Power of Gems for a detailed examination of this method.
