Crystal guide — Blog — VICTORIA ANN MEYERS

Hi there, are you FEELING that New Moon in Pisces? My Pisces moon certainly is.

Pisces season is the perfect time to turn inward and really get in touch with our emotions, our intuition, and, maybe even most importantly, our dreams, and really really listen. This is our last stop before the cycle begins anew in Aries season, and there is no better time to ask ourselves what we’ve learned, examine how we feel, and identify any areas that are giving us that nagging feeling that there’s something that needs to change.

And this Pisces season is also our last stop on this journey, the one where I launch a set of journaling prompts for each zodiac season, and accompany it with a blog post exploring the crystals that I’ve selected to support each zodiac sign.

And now we can get to the crystals. For anyone that might be new here (maybe coming in from a google search for “best crystals for Pisces season”?), I started this blog series to complement the Journaling Prompts series because back in 2020-2021 I spent the entire year going on a monthly deep dive to curate a selection of five stones to best support each zodiac sign to create my Zodiac Jewelry Collection, and then… never did anything with that research after the launch. So this is me making that right. If you’d like to catch up on the rest of the series, you can find Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, and Aries at each of their respective links.

So here’s our very last round: Crystals for Pisces Season

Pink Opal

Pisces’ biggest strength is their big hearts, and the way that they let their emotions flow. This can be healthy (certainly healthier than repressing emotions until they explode out of us!), however, there is a danger to just letting all our different emotions run amok unchecked and keeping us from being able to thoughtfully consider our responses and actions. There needs to be a harmony, a delicate balance between thought and emotion. Pink Opal is a stone that really helps us out here. Pink Opal helps with healing emotional wounds, and supports us in developing open and honest communication. This is the stone that really helps us with processing and communication our emotions so that we are in charge of them, not the other way around. It also opens our hearts to form loving, harmonious relationships of all kinds, which, feels like something we all need as we all start to grow impatient as we wait for spring to finally get here.

Blue Lace Agate

Is Pisces a water sign? Yes. Does Blue Lace Agate literally look like water? Also yes. Is that the reason that I chose it as a crystal for Pisces season? I mean it didn’t hurt, but there was a more thoughtful reasoning behind this. Pisces placements have a tendency towards being sensitive, and internalizing not only their own emotions, but the energies and emotions of others. Blue Lace Agate helps to let that energy flow by gently re-directing it before it can become stagnant. Hardships and negativity are an unavoidable part of life, and for many of us (ahem, me), learning to let these difficulties ebb and flow is a lifelong challenge. Blue Lace Agate has a very soothing, gentle energy, that reminds us that whatever we are going though is not how things will be forever, and helps us to let go of the burdens that are not ours to carry.

Morganite

With their big hearts and gentle souls, Pisces placements truly have a gift for empathy. Unfortunately this can come with the danger of people-pleasing, taking self-sacrifice to a destructive extent, or even open them up to be taken advantage of (I say this as a Pisces Moon who struggles with all of the above). Boundaries are important, but boundaries are hard. Setting and enforcing boundaries with compassion is an extra level of challenge. Thankfully, we have Morganite on our team. Morganite is mainly known as a stone that represents commitment, friendship, partnership (that’s why it’s popular for engagement rings!), but its real talent lies in how it supports us with our boundaries. Morganite enhances our self-love, especially the self-respect that is needed when we need to have hard conversations or make difficult decisions surrounding setting and enforcing the boundaries that we know are needed.

Sodalite

Being in touch with our emotions is great, but sometimes we get too tangled up in our feelings and stop looking at the big picture, start catastrophising, start working ourselves into a frenzy of escalating emotions. It’s easy to get caught up in our emotional reactions, and Sodalite is here to make sure that we don’t. In fact, Sodalite is here not just to tone things down, but to help us see exactly what it is that we need to do, and stay focused until we get it done. However, Sodalite is not here to simply dull or suppress our emotions until we are unfeeling robots. Sodalite is here to help us calm things down when we need to, but it is also here to help us use our emotions as fuel to learn from our situation and make positive changes. Personally, my favorite thing about Sodalite is the way that it helps us to lock in and focus, which is always such a struggle as we start to come out of the stagnant energy of late winter.

Turquoise

I think there’s a stereotype that Pisces placements are all big softies that cry over everything that, as a Pisces Moon myself, I do not find to be completely unsubstantiated. While yes, it is important to learn to thoughtfully work with our emotions (which is what that Sodalite was for!) and to let negativity flow around and past us without internalizing it (that’s what the Blue Lace Agate was for!), it does not hurt to also put up a shield to protect us from external negative energy to begin with. Turquoise isn’t just protective, it’s also stone that helps us with a little boost of energy and motivation when we find ourselves in an emotional slump. Which, considering that Pisces season is the very last thing we go though before Spring finally makes her appearance… Turquoise just might be THE crystal for Pisces season.

Whether you yourself have Pisces placements, found this blog post while looking for ways to support loved ones with Pisces placements, or are simply struggling to get through the emotional roller coaster that is Pisces season, I am so glad that you’re here. I hope that you’ve found this post helpful. You might also enjoy spending some time with the Journaling Prompts for Pisces Season PDF.

Wow! I can’t believe that’s the end of our zodiac crystal guides series! Spending a year going back through all of the research I did back when I first released my Zodiac Jewelry collection has been such a special experience, and I’m so happy to now have it existing out on the internet as a resource that people can turn to over and over again.

Hello friends, I hope that that new Moon in Virgo has been kind to you.

I know that Virgos can kind of get a bad rap for being a little TOO structured, as a Libra… Virgo season is a RELIEF. It’s an invitation to get my head out of the clouds, come back to earth, and start getting things DONE. Maybe some of them are getting done a little bit behind schedule (ahem… I DID put all the dates for these blog posts in one calendar but not my main one), but they ARE getting done. And that’s what matters.

SO, today we are going through our monthly breakdown of the collections of stones that I chose for each sign in my Zodiac Collection, which, for those that are new here, is a collection of necklaces and hoop earrings handmade with a collection of five natural stones that I curated specifically to best support each sign’s natural strengths and challenges.

So far we’ve covered Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and Leo, and now we’re coming up to the halfway point with my crystal picks for Virgo.

Some quick clarification: I initially designed this collection over the 2020-2021 astrological year focusing on each sign through the lens of which crystals would best support people with major PLACEMENTS in those signs (for those wondering which jewelry pieces they should purchase for themselves, I’d say the best place to start is your own Sun, Moon, or Rising sign), HOWEVER, as my knowledge and experience have grown, I now realize that these little collections of stones make a great starting point for any of us looking to bring a little crystal magic into each season.

And to build on this, I’ve also been releasing a downloadable journaling guide for each zodiac season as well.

So are you ready to dive into the Crystals for Virgo Season?

Blue Apatite

What is the number one thing that we love about Virgos? Their ability to just GET THINGS DONE, obviously. And something about Virgo season also being back-to-school season for a lot of us just makes sense. It’s such a SHIFT in energy, from summer relaxation to the hustle and bustle of fall. And honestly, I can’t think of a better stone for this time of year than Blue Apatite. Blue Apatite is the stone for getting things done. It is the aggressively high-vibe stone that helps us clear out distractions and focus our energy EXACTLY where it needs to be. Blue Apatite doesn’t just have a checklist, she has a color-coded spreadsheet with detailed plans of not just what needs to be done but exactly the best way to get it done and no, she will not be taking any clarifying questions. Also, somehow like half of the tasks are already done. She’s the best friend of people who are already like this and a forceful supporter for those of us (ahem, me) who just aren’t but desperately want to be.

Amethyst

As much as we all know what we love about Virgos (the aforementioned gift at getting things done), we also know that there is definitely a such thing as too much of a good thing. And for both Virgo placements and Virgo season, that is absolutely the point where the color coded spreadsheet of exciting things to do and the sweet smell of fresh school supplies becomes an overwhelming rush of demands and a chaotic calendar that somehow neglected to factor in that human beings can only be in one place at a time. Amethyst is the number one stone that I’d pick to bring us some balance here. Virgo season is a time to reflect on wisdom, making good choices now to prepare for the amazing things that are coming next, and Amethyst is all about intuition and clear-headed decision making. She can help us calm down our racing thoughts so that we can focus our energy where it will be most effective, and give us peace of mind when things get crazy (or somebody isn’t following our VERY CLEAR instructions).

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz is, in a lot of ways, our true all-purpose, for everyone, in every situation, every day crystal. It doesn’t matter what the energy is, Clear Quartz is going to give it a boost. And I love this for Virgo season because this season can be a lot. The transition from summer to fall. The transition into the school year after weeks and weeks on break. The horrifying realization the holidays are coming and they’re coming soon and oh no what have I even done with this year it’s almost 3/4 over!!! (ok maybe that one is just me). But REGARDLESS, Clear Quartz is here to give us the clarity to know what kind of energy we need and the little push to stick to those goals. It’s a very positive, uplifting stone, and sometimes that’s the thing we need the most as the temperatures dip and the sunsets get a little earlier.

Snowflake Obsidian

Snowflake Obsidian is a very practical stone, much in the way that Virgo placements tend to be very practical people and Virgo season often asks us to take a practical look at what’s going on in our lives and make any needed changes. So she was an absolute non-negotiable for Virgo season. She’s a stone that helps a lot with keeping ourselves grounded when we’re being pulled in a million different directions, and helps us stay focused when we need to get things done. Snowflake Obsidian is the stone we want when we need to stay firmly rooted in reality as we plan out our next steps, so that we can set ourselves up for the best chance of success. Because Virgo season is a time for wise, intentional planning, not throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

Malachite

Finally, we’re rounding out the collection with Malachite. Remember that thing I just said about being prepared for what’s next? Malachite is the stone for the what’s next, whatever that may look like. She’s here to help our practical preparations grow into massive successes by helping us clear out the mental and emotional obstacles between us and what we’re working towards. Malachite is a stone of good luck too, but not the random, fell-out-of-the-sky kind of good luck, the good luck that comes from being in the right place at the right time because you are ON IT in that way that the only possible outcome is things working out just the way that you meant them to. Because, honestly, any Virgo is going to agree that the rest of us should have just listened to them in the first place.
