Crystals for Libra
Libra, born September 23rd - October 22nd, is an air sign represented by the scales (interestingly, the only inanimate object of the zodiac), an association that reflects Libra's fixation on balance and harmony. Libra is obsessed with symmetry and strives to create equilibrium in all areas of life. These air signs are the aesthetes of the zodiac: ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money.
Libra symbolizes "we." Relationships are paramount for Libras, who find balance in companionship. For a Libra, everything is better if it’s done as a pair. Libras are good when paired up, too, since they epitomize balance, harmony, and a sense of fair play.
Libras are difficult to really understand because they seem so contradictory on the surface. They’re simultaneously extroverted and introverted, strategic and spontaneous, focused and intuitive. This variability makes it difficult to pin down their true character. They are an entire constellation of personalities. Libras are different depending on who they're around. This is because Libras value empathy. They are receptive. They can be other people’s mirrors. Because of this, they have strong opinions about other people, but take a long time to understand themselves. They want to be admired not for their talents but for their charm. They want to be seen as the responsible figure who can balance out the turbulent elements around them. They feel an intense amount of guilt and shame when they are unhappy because they know that their unhappiness affects everyone around them.
There are certain crystals that align perfectly to the energetic frequency of Libra, giving it numerous benefits in different areas of life.
Rose Quartz: Are essential crystals for Libras as they attract love, beauty, and romance. The energy of this crystal is in tune with Libra. Rose Quartz favors harmony in friendships and family relationships. This gemstone strengthens the romantic relationship between the members of a couple, forging a lasting bond. This crystal also serves to attract a romantic relationship. This stone will eliminate any negative energy surrounding you and replace it with high vibrational loving energy. Even if you are alone, you’ll feel loved with Rose Quartz by your side. It helps restore emotional balance, promotes self-esteem, and helps Libras develop unconditional love for themselves and others.
Citrine: This crystal is conducive to happiness, joy and good life. The main goal in Libra’s life is to have a good time, enjoying every moment to the fullest. This quartz makes Libra feel better about themselves, stimulating their creativity and artistic talent. Citrine also promotes success and good fortune in business, providing a high standard of living. It’s very effective in removing negativity from people and environments. It drives away bad thoughts and favors a positive mentality. Because it drives away negative thoughts, Citrine also makes a wonderful stone to meditate, especially for Libras who struggle to turn their active minds off. With a clear mind, you’ll find it easier to learn about new things. Citrine supports Libra during the process of any learning process, as it stimulates good memory and logical reasoning. Citrine is very useful for the energetic balance of Libra. This zodiac sign often suffers from fluctuations in their personal energy. This gemstone is able to balance Libra natives internally. Citrine successfully combats anxiety and nervousness, allowing Libra to be at peace at all times.
Aquamarine: Aquamarine is a Libra crystal that favors the intellect and balances emotions. As a Throat chakra crystal, it helps Libras open up and express themselves. So, if you are a shy Libra, use Aquamarine to find your inner voice. Aquamarine will help you communicate effectively with others. This crystal promotes empathy, which means that it favors understanding and good coexistence. Aquamarine is a powerful gemstone that awakens psychic powers, allowing Libras to perceive other realities. It also promotes spiritual purity, making the individual be true to themselves. Libras are very forgiving, but when someone wrongs them they can hold grudges. Because Libras are generally so forgiving, holding grudges can throw them off balance. To free yourself from past grudges, use Aquamarine. Aquamarine lets you release any emotions you are holding onto from the past so you can properly forgive people in your life.
Ametrine: As Libra is an air element sign, it is easier for Libras to tune into their higher selves (their subconscious mind). They think not just with logic alone, but they view every situation in different levels of thought, allowing them to see the whole picture, not just parts of it. Ametrine is an excellent stone for enhancing the empathic nature of Libras as it increases one’s ability to think on a higher level and put oneself in other people’s shoes especially when conflict is involved. It also helps balance the energies Yin and Yang and other opposing forces, which is why it is the perfect crystal for Libra’s energy. Libras thrive when working in pairs, whether romantically or professionally. Ametrine is the embodiment of how working as a pair is better than working alone, as this stone amplifies both the healing properties of Citrine and Amethyst. It is also a stone of prosperity and manifestation, making it the one of the best crystals for Libras or anyone looking to capitalize on any new opportunities or improve existing ventures during this season.
Lepidolite: Known as a peace stone, Lepidolite is perfect for Libras as it enhances those feelings of harmony and gentleness which they so love. Associated with balancing all of the chakras, Lepidolite is a deeply relaxing crystal and its used to counter stress. For Libras, Lepidolite is a great companion in tough situations when you may be feeling down. Its serene aura helps the emotional body to come back into balance, giving one an opportunity to further understand their feelings with more compassion and patience. Use Lepidolite for a calming influence. As it stimulates all the chakras, and in particular the Heart and Third Eye, it enhances your ability to tap into your divine higher self.
Moonstone: Moonstone is a powerful protective stone while traveling. It is the perfect protective stone for Libra’s innate wanderlust, especially as they love to travel to exquisite places and participate in outdoor activities. Wearing Moonstone even during short travels can help protect you against both tangible and perceived threats. With its strong connection to the moon, Moonstone is a stone that increases intuition and connection to the divine. It also helps the indecisive Libra in decision making by allowing them to connect to higher realms of thought so they can make fair and unbiased decisions. Moonstone has a strong affinity to Libra’s energy because it boosts intuition and mental clarity, and is best used during problem-solving. As Libras hate conflict, they tend to be the problem solvers in a group- whether in their circle of friends, family, or even at work.
Bloodstone: It is the perfect grounding stone for Libras and their sometimes airy personality, which can often lead to indecisiveness. Bloodstone enhances mental clarity, helps with decision-making (something that Libras often have trouble with), and it encourages independence. It is also the perfect healing stone for Libras who fear isolation or have recently lost someone, as it encourages one to look inside themselves and find the courage to face their greatest fears.
Labradorite: Provides Libras with the stability and forward thinking they need to find justice in all situations. It helps them release anxiety, calm their minds, and interject some spontaneity into their lives. This Libra stone brings happiness and hope, and it awakens the intuition. It also provides protection and cleanses and strengthens their energy system.
Lapis Lazuli: Offers Libras the peace of mind and the ability to articulate their wise thoughts so that they can communicate more effectively and express themselves with diplomacy. It promotes a strong intuition which serves the decision-making process, and it brings peace to their soul.
Tiger’s Eye: A wonderful stone for helping Libras align their inner and outer selves, connecting them to their personal power. It can give them courage when they are feeling timid, and it helps them come up with creative solutions for decision-making. Tiger’s eye also balances extreme opposites and helps them understand different points of view.
