Crystals for Virgo
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.
SO! Whether you’re looking to spend this belated Virgo New Moon doing some journaling, working with some crystals, or treating yourself to some Virgo-themed jewelry, I hope that you enjoy yourself. And get out the color coding pens.
Thank you for coming along for this ride, this has truly been one of my favorite projects for this year!
