“Crystals for Taurus”

Dear Healing Crystal Enthusiast:

As the vibrant Fire energy of Aries transitions into the grounded, Earth energy of Taurus, we continue our feature on Crystals and Astrology.  We hope you’ll enjoy our suggestions for Taurus, 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.  And, as always, thank you for reading our newsletter!

Taurus   April 20 – May 20

Major Stones for Taurus and their Metaphysical Properties:

Emerald -

The birthstone of Taurus and the stone of Venus, Taurus’ ruling planet, Emerald is a beautiful heart balancer.  The “stone of successful love,” Emerald helps Taurus find the loyal partner he/she desires, encourages the lasting and stable partnerships Taurus requires, and fosters the “domestic bliss” Taurus craves.  Emerald helps heal the hurt feelings or wounded heart of a Taurus who may feel let down by his/her partner.   For the Taurus who may be too driven to work hard to acquire material stability, emerald promotes enjoyment of good things in life.  Slow-to-change Taurus will find emerald brings compassion for others, enhances unity, and fosters patience for finding resolutions.

Malachite -

Malachite is a powerful stone of transformation, and sturdy Taurus has the strength and will to undergo the big changes Malachite can facilitate.  Malachite’s ability to draw out negative or blocked energy can help Taurus see patterns or relationships that
may longer server him/her, but to which he/she may be clinging for fear of changing the status quo.  Malachite also draws out inhibitions from cautious Taurus.  Using Malachite with the Heart Chakra brings balance and fidelity to relationships.

Lapis Lazuli -

Lapis Lazuli opens the Third Eye and allows intuition to flow.  Lapis is a good stone to expand intuitive skills while remaining objective and open to reasoned analysis, a comfortable place for Taurus.  Lapis Lazuli can open up heavily grounded Taurus to a more Spiritual side.  Given Taurus’ ability to make things happen, an
enlightened Taurus can be very powerful at manifestation. Also good for balancing the Throat Chakra (which can be a Taurus problem area), Lapis fosters full verbal expression, and encourages clear expression when sharing information with others, including easier communication of anger.

Other Taurus Stones:

Blue Lace Agate -

Blue Lace Agate helps Taurus, who is naturally charming and encouraging of others, to be less shy in communicating the support and practical advice he/she has to share.  A powerful Throat Chakra stone, Blue Lace Agate helps slow-to-express Taurus communicate suppressed emotions.

Selenite -

The physical Earth energy of Taurus may make matters of Spirit and faith seem a bit scary to Taurus.  Selenite helps hesitant Taurus feel safer when exploring the Spiritual world.  A protective stone, Selenite shields a person or space from outside influences.

Green Tourmaline -

Green Tourmaline helps Taurus see the all sides of an issue, and to be more flexible to the influences of others.

Rutilated Quartz -

Taurus yearns for security, both outwardly and inwardly.  Rutilated Quartz allows cautious Taurus to be more trusting of the Universe, and reminds us all of our secure and unyielding connection to Spirit.  Rutilated Quartz puts off an exceptionally high level of energy, and is said to bring physical and mental balance and stability.

Topaz -

Topaz fosters faith, and allows Taurus to let go even when he/she is afraid.  Topaz also brings light to Taurus’ occasional dark moods.

Rhodonite -

A stone of patience and balance, Rhodonite helps to balance the emotions and is a good stone for shock and panic.   Rhodonite fosters reconciliation and forgiveness for a Taurus who may hold a grudge, and calms sometimes impatient Taurus.  Rhodonite also balances emotions and heals emotional wounds.
