“Crystals for Aries”

Dear Healing Crystal Enthusiast:

As we welcome spring, we hope this finds you enjoying a time of renewal. It is during this time that Aries also signals the beginning of a new astrological year. We continue our feature on Crystals and Astrology with our suggestions for Aries, this month’s sun sign. Remember, there are many theories about which specific stones are "the stones” for a particular sign, here we present ours. As always, thank you for reading our newsletter!

The vivid energy of Ruby reflects Aries’ passion and vitality, and supports the intensity of this fire sign. Ruby adds the spice to life that Aries craves. While Aries can be quick to anger (especially when he/she feels others are standing in the way of his/her success), Ruby helps to draw this anger more quickly to the surface, where it can be processed and dissipated. Ruby is a powerful heart stone, and can help personal but independent Aries connect to others emotionally.

Red Jasper -
