The crystals you need during Capricorn season
1. Jet
Caps may try to convince you that they are just being realistic, but the truth is that their practical approach to life can border on cynicism or pessimistic.
Jet is a beautiful crystal to distribute this energy evenly. While you probably won’t be able to find a crystal that will turn a Capricorn into a bubbling optimist, a ray crystal can help you see things from a neutral point of view, removing the negativity from your vision.
2. Grenade
Garnet is a beautiful, deep red crystal associated with Capricorn, and it is one of Cap’s birthstones.
This crystal strengthens the energy of Capricorn in general, but penetrates specifically into the heart. Grenade promotes love and attracts romance, making it an excellent stone to work with for anyone looking to increase love in their life.
This crystal can help you get in touch with the hopeless romantic within yourself.
3. Green Aventurine
Green aventurine is available in shades of green, often with glittering mineral flecks. Because of its power of manifestation, this crystal is often called the ‘Stone of Opportunity’.
It attracts both opportunity and abundance, and it also has a very uplifting energy.
This stone helps us in times of loneliness, uplifts the heart and reminds us that we are loved. January is often cited as the most depressing month of the year, so this is an excellent crystal to work with during Capricorn season.
4. White howlite
Capricorns are motivated and strive for success, but you may forget to take a break and practice self-care, something we all need. You’re not immune to the need for rest, Capricorn, and you’ll eventually burn out if you keep rushing along your path.
Remember how fast the Titanic was traveling when it hit an avoidable iceberg? If we move too fast, we may not be able to see obstacles in our path, such as emotional or physical exhaustion.
White howlite reminds you to take a moment, stretch your limbs and smell the fresh air. It calms the mind and allows you to relax in everyday moments that might otherwise feel strange or scary.
This crystal allows your body and mind to get the much-needed rest.
5. Snowflake obsidian
Snowflake obsidian has a purifying energy that cleanses the space around it and removes negativity and energetic impurities. This crystal, usually dark gray with lighter spots throughout, helps you recognize thought patterns that no longer serve you and helps you let go of those patterns.
As another crystal that soothes feelings of loneliness, it also has a calming effect on the body.
This crystal balances the mind, body and soul and allows one to easily sink into meditation. It is a beneficial stone to use during yoga or meditative practices.
Celebrating Capricorn season
Saturn is the planet that challenges us and teaches us the lessons we need to learn to grow and become successful and abundant. While this is undoubtedly a blessing, it can feel overwhelming when Saturn’s energy is felt in the long term.
Because Saturn rules Capricorn, that energy can feel more intense than usual during Capricorn season, and it’s important to remember that challenging situations shape us into the strong, courageous people we are.
Try to embrace the sense of responsibility and urge to work hard that can be felt during this time.
Using the crystals in this guide will help you feel more able to stay positive and motivated, even in times of stress. The motivating, inspiring energy of the Capricorn zodiac sign is perhaps the greatest gift given during this astrological period!
