Let me break down one of my newest products - specifically the thought process behind it.
Anybody can google "what crystals are good for an aries?" but, I wanted to go deeper than that. The crystals that are selected for each zodiac sign are based off of the knowledge I have gained about each of the signs and what makes them tick. It took a lot of time, but I think the process was well worth it. So let's get into it.
There are 4 seasons and 3 modalities that make up the 12 zodiac signs - each with a unique combination. So I wanted to find crystals that would either reinforce the strength of a given attribute of a sign, or balance out its weakness. And amethyst. Every sign gets a piece of amethyst, because it is for clearing energy, and who couldn't benefit from that? In my opinion, everyone needs amethyst in their life.
So after amethyst, there are 7 more crystals that I has to choose. For fire, I was looking for a crystal that would enhance the opposite of fire - water. I chose sodalite for that exact reason. For water, I was looking for a crystal that would embody, you guessed it, fiery-ness. That crystal was carnelian, which is a great motivator and activator crystal.
For earth, I wanted to find a crystal that would help with adaptability and change, something earth signs are very wary of. That stone ended up being zebra jasper, a beautiful crystal with white and brown striations throughout. It even looks like change, with the blending of light and dark colors. And lastly, for our ever-changing air signs, we have grounding obsidian, to help with focus and prioritization.
4 down, 3 to go: all that's left is the lesser-known modalities: cardinal, fixed, and mutable. For the cardinal signs, the queens of leadership, we have amazonite, to help with communication and confidence. And for the fixed signs, I again was looking for something to help grow into flexibility. I found what I was looking for in moonstone, which like zebra jasper, helps the owner to keep calm in the face of uncertainty. And last but not least, for our mutable babes, I was again looking for something to help get our girls out of their heads and into action. The perfect crystal for that job is nothing else but pyrite.
So, what combination are you? Do you think I was right in my reasoning? Would you have chosen something else? (If yes, please don't tell me. It's hurt my virgo rising/cancer sun feelings.
