Gemstones for the Aquarius Zodiac

 

Aquarians are known to be visionaries and champions brimming with creativity, intellect, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. But, even they need a sprinkle of magic in their lives. This can be possible with Aquarius gemstones as they hold great significance by aligning gems with stars. They are thought to bring success, prosperity, and positivity in life. These stones emit positive energies or vibrations that help in removing negative energies or blockages from our lives. 

Aquarius is the 11th zodiac sign in astrology, which is ruled by the planet Saturn or Shani. People born between January 20 and February 18 belong to this zodiac sign. Amethyst is the popular Aquarius birthstone that helps bring prosperity into the life of the wearer. We will also discuss some other Aquarius stone jewelry in this blog that will not only benefit you (if you’re an Aquarian) but also enhance your beauty appeal.

Understanding the Aquarius - 11th Zodiac Sign in Astrology

The Aquarius zodiac sign is symbolized by the water bearer. People born under this sign are known for their open-mindedness and independent entity. Just like water, you can’t hold them down. They have creative and innovative minds that always aspire to explore the mysteries of the world.

Did you know that Aquarius gemstones have unique energies that enhance these traits? From boosting confidence to encouraging creativity, these stones are more than just dazzling rocks.

Overview of Aquarius Traits

Just like nothing is perfect, the same theory holds for people. No one is perfect. People belonging to Aquarius also have numerous positive traits and challenges. These aqua-born people love their freedom and have a progressive approach toward life. As the water quenches thirst, they are ready to offer help to people and treat everyone fairly. 

But this can sometimes land them in trouble or make them unpopular as not everyone appreciates their ways of handling things. They might have trouble expressing their emotions in the correct manner which makes them seem emotionally detached individuals. 

Symbolism and Mythology

The symbol water bearer or water carrier shows a man with a vessel pouring water. It represents giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water helps in washing away the past and paving the way for a brighter future.

Another symbol for Aquarius is two zig-zag lines that represent water being blown by wind or air.

Primary and Secondary Gemstones for Aquarius Zodiac

If you have been wondering about, ‘What is an Aquarius birthstone?’, there can be varied answers. Amethyst is considered the primary Aquarius birthstone. Other stones such as Lapis Lazuli, Garnet, or Black Onyx are also considered effective for the zodiac sign Aquarius. 

Amethyst Stone - Primary Aquarius Birthstone

Amethyst is the primary Aquarius birthstone which enhances the traits of people born under this sign. There is a popular belief behind the name of this gemstone, as the word ‘Amethyst’ comes from the Greek word ‘Amethystos’. It means ‘not intoxicated’. So, people believed that wearing this stone would protect the wearer from the effects of alcohol when they attended parties.

Slowly, it gained popularity among the upper class and got linked to royalty. For years, it was regarded with the same status as a diamond. A few years down the line, subsequent sources of Amethyst were discovered which degraded its status. Some people believed that Saint Valentine loved Amethyst, linking it to romance and love. 

This captivating Aquarius gemstone is found in deep purple hues that enhance the look of any jewelry made out of it. The shades of purple are caused due to the presence of iron impurities.  

It's considered a highly spiritual stone and is linked with the Crown chakra located at the top of the head. This chakra is associated with purple color and aligns our mind with wisdom.

Some of the top benefits of wearing this Aquarius birthstone are:

• Calming the mind 
• Breaking free from negative energies
• Removing blockages from the body in the digestive system, liver, pancreas, gut, or spleen
• Improving sleep quality 
• Managing pain
• Managing anxiety
