Read for your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign, or align your ritual with the current astrological season.
Aries – Head / Face / Eyes / Brain
For mental peace and healing, pour a bowl of water and add a tumbled Rose Quartz. In your mind’s eye, imagine the water radiating with soft pink, peaceful light. Meditate with the water, then use it to wash your face. Affirm: "Peace is now" or "Peace is with me."
Also try: Clear Quartz or Amethyst.
Taurus – Throat / Neck
For bold self-expression and fearless creativity, place Chrysocolla under a pillow that supports your neck. Hum or chant and feel the vibration move through your throat, head, and chest. Affirm: "I express myself."
Also try: Lapis Lazuli or Iolite.
Gemini – Lungs / Arms / Hands + Nervous System
Use the breath and Ruby Zoisite to calm your nervous system. Place the stone in front of you during meditation. Gaze softly at it while extending your exhales. When relaxed, affirm: "I approach each new moment with curiosity."
Also try: Howlite or Thulite.
Cancer – Chest / Breasts / Belly
For nurturing and emotional support, lie down and place Green Opal on your chest or belly. Rest your hands over your belly and say: "I come home to myself."
Afterward, journal what surfaced.
Also try: Moonstone or Chalcedony.
Leo – Heart / Spine / Upper Back
To boost confidence and energy, hold Sunstone and stretch your arms wide. Visualize yourself as the Sun, radiating golden light. Inhale light in return and affirm: "I give and receive with joy."
Also try: Danburite or Golden Labradorite.
Virgo – Digestive Tract
When overwhelmed by responsibilities or uncertainty, lie down and use Jasper to trace an imaginary line along your digestive tract. Breathe into your belly and say: "I have what I need, and I gently release what no longer serves me."
Also try: Smoky Quartz or Moss Agate.
Libra – Kidneys / Lower Back / Skin
Let Black Tourmaline help you feel grounded. Sit in a chair and hold the stone in your lap. Feel your connection to the Earth. Affirm: "I am supported in life and in my relationships."

Capricorn – Knees / Joints / Bones / Teeth
When your goals feel heavy, remember your resourcefulness. Hold Tiger’s Eye to each joint and say: "I approach each challenge with a plan and adapt when necessary."
Try repeating this while brushing your teeth.
Also try: Ocean Jasper or Jet.
Aquarius – Ankles / Calves / Circulatory System
Change can be exciting. In a forward fold, trace Amber along your lower legs. Affirm: "I am ready to change. I am ready to pivot."
