FAQ About Astrology

A birthstone is a gemstone that is traditionally associated with a specific month of the year based on the Gregorian calendar. Each birthstone is believed to have unique metaphysical properties and symbolic meanings. While birthstones are not directly related to astrology, they share a connection in terms of the association with specific months and the energies they are believed to represent.

In astrology, the birthstone associated with a particular zodiac sign is known as a zodiac birthstone. These stones are often chosen based on their color, symbolism, and the energetic resonance they have with the qualities of the zodiac sign.

For example, here are some commonly recognized birthstones associated with the zodiac signs:

• Aries (March 21 - April 19): Bloodstone or Diamond
• Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Emerald or Rose Quartz
• Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Pearl or Alexandrite
• Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Moonstone or Ruby
• Leo (July 23 - August 22): Peridot or Onyx
• Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Sapphire or Carnelian
• Libra (September 23 - October 22): Opal or Lapis Lazuli
• Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Topaz or Citrine
• Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Turquoise or Blue Topaz
• Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Garnet or Black Onyx
• Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Amethyst or Hematite
• Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Aquamarine or Jade

While birthstones are associated with specific zodiac signs, it's important to note that in astrology, the individual's birth chart, which includes the precise date, time, and location of birth, is considered more significant in understanding an individual's astrological influences and personal characteristics.

The use of birthstones in astrology is a way to celebrate and honor the unique qualities of each zodiac sign and provide individuals with a tangible symbol or stone that resonates with their astrological energy. However, it's important to remember that the influence of astrology extends beyond birthstones and encompasses a broader range of factors and influences within a birth chart.
