In pagan times, people believed that the power of the four elements - water, fire, earth, air - was embodied in material objects. For example, in stones.
The sages of the Hellenistic era, and then the Middle Ages, argued that each mineral stores the light of its patron star. By coming into contact with a gem for a long time, a person is influenced by this star.
The presence of a rational grain in the beliefs of our ancestors is recognized by modern science. From a physics point of view, there is a constant exchange of energy in nature. Before falling into human hands, the mineral could lie in the ground for thousands of years, absorbing an incredible amount of vibrations from the cosmos and the bowels of the earth. The powerful energy of the stone will certainly affect its owner, revealing its magical properties.
In astrology, stones represent various manifestations of human nature and destiny. Minerals are as individual as people.
Functions of the talisman
A precious or semi-precious stone manifests its magical properties to its maximum when people believe in its power. It is important to select stones responsibly. There are many ways to find a talisman, but the most accurate is to determine it by date of birth. Amulets selected using this method will be able to:
- Protect from negativity.
- Improve health.
- Bring success in life and career.
- Reward with strength and energy.
- Help in your personal life.
The main thing is not only a smart choice, but careful care of the mineral. If used incorrectly, it loses its strength and cracks. The easiest way is to feed the amulet with earth energy. To do this, you need to put it in a flower pot for a couple of days.
Rules for choosing amulets-stones
The basic rule will be to select a stone according to the above parameters: date, date, month of birth and color. But there are also unspoken principles for choosing a talisman, which at first do not seem obvious and may even raise doubts about the correctness of the choice.
Important! Before the stone begins to work and bring benefits, it must be sufficiently saturated with your energy and get used to it.
The rules for proper amulet include the stage of cleaning and filling. In order to clean the stone, it must lie for some time in a bright place, and then it must be immersed in clean running water for a day. Each mineral is endowed with its own character and some of them cannot be worn together, as they can completely neutralize the effects of another, or, on the contrary, enhance it with double force. The stone mentally influences a person’s character, smoothly changing it and regulating it in the right direction to achieve the desired help from the talisman.
In cases where a stone that suits you is correctly selected based on your horoscope, take as a basis your personal and individual feelings that you experience when you come into contact with the desired mineral.
Date of Birth
Numbers play a big role in human life, so people are dependent on them. This feature relates to the question of how to choose a talisman stone.
Numerology experts say that a birthday carries important information. Many years of research have shown that it can be used to recognize certain character traits. Data can help in the formation of personal qualities.
A birthstone is chosen based on certain calculations, during which the essence of the number is determined. It can be calculated as follows:
- Date of birth November 29, 1991. The month on the calendar is 11th. It turns out November 29, 1991.
- The sum of the components is calculated: 2+9+1+1+1+9+9+1=33.
- You need to get a result in the range from 1 to 9, so we additionally add 3+3=6.
- Based on the calculations, it is clear that the essence is the number 6. You need to find it in the memo and choose your talisman in accordance with it.

Stones for health
Minerals are great healers. Previously, stones crushed into powder were taken orally, and ointments and rubbing were made on their basis. A universal method of using the mineral for medicinal purposes is to apply it to a sore spot or wear jewelry. Let's look at some of the healing abilities of gems.
Cat's eye, aquamarine and amber help with colds
Corals, diamond, topaz, lapis lazuli, ruby, sapphire and some others help against depression and mental disorders
To speed up the regeneration of the skin, coral, malachite, lapis lazuli, and onyx are suitable.
Malachite, amber, tiger's eye, lapis lazuli, carnelian, etc. help against rheumatic pain
Topaz, malachite, amber, and jade are suitable for restoring hearing
for general tone and strengthening the immune system .
Month
It is not entirely correct to navigate by month of birth. It is more correct to consider the meanings of amulets in relation to the zodiac sign to which you belong. The talismans of the month do not apply strictly to one month, but cover a certain part of two months at once. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with how to choose the right stones according to your zodiac signs.
Representative | date | Amulet | Dangerous talismans |
Aries | March 21 – April 20 | Topaz | Libra sign |
Taurus | April 21 - May 21 | Beryl, onyx, turquoise | Scorpio sign |
Twins | May 22 – June 21 | Jasper | Sagittarius sign |
Cancer | June 22 – July 22 | Emerald, tourmaline | Capricorn sign |
a lion | July 23 – August 23 | Chrysoprase, onyx | Aquarius sign |

How to choose the right stone for yourself?
Your zodiac sign is the starting point
The zodiac sign is certainly one of the most important criteria for choosing a stone. Based on your sign, you can limit the selection of suitable stones. But... There are 12 billion people in the world. And every person is unique. It will not be entirely correct to simply divide all people into 12 signs and say: “You are a Taurus, which means you can wear a moonstone, but not a garnet.”
Your feminine intuition is your main tool
To choose the right stone, it is very important to consider your zodiac sign. But you also need to listen to your intuition. This is easier for women. A woman will never buy a stone that is harmful to her. She simply will not like the appearance of such a stone. And this is the most important and simplest criterion for selecting a stone according to the horoscope.
So just see what your eyes fall on. This stone will be the best option.
Day of the week
The day of the week on which a person was born also carries a special meaning. If the previous methods did not help you determine your talisman, you can consider this option by selecting your stone by day from the table:

Spring | Gems in tones of fresh spring greenery |
Summer | All warm and deep colored stones |
Autumn | Talismans in blue, yellow and red shades |
You can display the seasonal affiliation in the amulet if you choose, for example, a pendant in the shape of a snowflake for winter people. Those born in the fall will decorate themselves with jewelry in the form of a maple leaf, in the spring - a flower, in the summer - the sun or a butterfly.
Features of choice
It is not enough that the talisman stone is selected according to the date of birth; it is necessary that its owner feels that this is his talisman. During the search, rational thinking is completely turned off and only intuition is used at the stage of the information channel. This is how the energy requirement of the mineral is determined.
The power of birthday stones can penetrate any matter, including the cells of the body. Energy fields interact already in the first minutes. On an intuitive level, the shape, color and cost of the gem are not taken into account. The impact of the amulet on the owner does not depend on the size.
The raw mineral has the greatest energy. Carrying it with you all the time is not very convenient, so a jewelry form of the amulet is chosen. If you want to purchase this particular crystal, then you need to test yourself by taking it in your left hand and focusing on the sensations.
If at the moment there is a desire that here and now you want to purchase certain products made from a mineral, for example, a jade figurine or a pearl necklace, then there is no need to resist it. This means that it is at this moment that some area of life needs help from this amulet.

Properties of stones
Dozens of minerals are used as talisman stones. Each of them embodies several different qualities. Below, as an example, is a list of some popular gems and their properties:
- diamond – hardness and purity;
- amethyst - fidelity in love;
- agate – longevity;
- turquoise - happiness;
- pomegranate – friendship, love, gratitude;
- pearls - strong marriage ties;
- emerald - hope, wisdom;
- ruby – ardent passion;
- sapphire – knowledge;
- topaz – intuition, worldly wisdom;
- chrysolite – getting rid of depression;
- zircon – business success;
- amber – protection from dark forces;
- jasper - courage.
The same stone is fraught with not only positive, but also negative qualities. For example, topaz can awaken jealousy, turquoise can aggravate a capricious disposition, opal can darken life with the inconstancy of a loved one. A diamond brings misfortune if the thoughts of its owner are not pure and honest enough.
It all depends on the compatibility of the person and the stone. It is determined by the location of the Sun, Moon and planets, as well as by the signs of the zodiac. When choosing stones according to your zodiac sign, our correspondence table at the end of the article will help you. To select a talisman based on the main planet in the birth cosmogram, use the online natal chart calculation.
In the Middle Ages, the first attempts were made to combine the zodiac signs and the gems suitable for them into a single standard list. The task turned out to be extremely difficult due to the contradictions in the views of numerous astrological schools.
Only in the 70s of the twentieth century did the International Association of Jewelers combine all the accumulated information into a single table. Today, anyone can find out which stones correspond to their zodiac sign.
How to use the energy of the stone?
If you do not use the talisman correctly, then semi-precious and precious stones based on your date of birth will not bring any benefit, but only harm. Minerals for protective purposes can be worn by any convenient method. They are most often used in rings, bracelets, pendants, earrings and other types of jewelry. Stones can be simply carried in a wallet or purse.
After purchasing a stone, it must be cleaned, as strangers have touched it. Then your talisman is charged with energy. Depending on the type of stone, it will take some time for it to get used to its owner.
Intuition will best tell you which place on the body to wear stones based on your date of birth. Sometimes people don't know which part of the body needs energy. Then the stones are used on a subconscious level.
If there is a feeling that the psychological sphere needs help, then the talisman is located in a prominent place. The full protective effect is achieved with constant contact with the naked body.
To obtain a certain result, you cannot tell anyone that you are using the energy of the stone. Also, strangers are not allowed to touch the surface of semi-precious talismans, as they can take away its power.
If at some point the owner of the amulet loses it, then he does not need to be discouraged. This means that the mineral has fulfilled its purpose. Or he has accumulated so much negative energy within himself that it would change his life in a negative direction.
Astrology in Creativity. Secrets of the influence of Days of the Week, Flowers and Stones
This is my first short article about the practical application of astrology and Vedic knowledge in creativity. You may ask - what is the connection?
But it happens that on some day you don’t feel like creating at all, on some day you get orders and you can easily agree on everything with everyone, and on some day everyone irritates you and you can’t do anything about it to do... Knowing the little secrets of our Universe and knowing about the influence of planets and stones on us, you can customize your life and your creative process easily and naturally.
So, let's start by analyzing the Days of the Week and stones and learn to live and Create in accordance with the energies of these days.
Monday is a day under the influence of the Moon.
On this day, especially the female half is characterized by excessive emotionality, anxiety, and disordered thoughts. Therefore, it is very important to walk more on this day, be in nature, preferably near a pond (water very calms the mind), try to exclude the resolution of conflict issues, exclude negotiations, i.e. excessive emotionality of this day may prevent you from making a calm and informed decision.
It is very favorable on this day to wear feminine clothes, long skirts, wear light, white, delicate colors, and drink more water. In jewelry - moonstone, pearls, all white opaque stones carry the energy of the Moon.
To harmonize the Moon, it is good to take a bath in the evening, smear yourself with oils, drink a little warm milk with honey and cinnamon.
In general, this day is extremely favorable for showing care, for showing your femininity and tenderness.
Tuesday is a day under the influence of Mars.
This day is filled with determination and aggression. It is extremely fruitful for decisive action, but at the same time its weak side is that you can be overwhelmed by irritation and intolerance, and can be enraged by the slightest absurdity, which on other days may not be noticeable to you.
On Tuesday, all negotiations and resolution of conflict situations are very unfavorable.
Tuesday's color is red. But adding it to your wardrobe should be done in moderation. A pair of earrings with corals or a red strap will be enough, because... an excess of this color can make you overly assertive and aggressive. The stones of Mars are coral and all red stones.
Wednesday is a day under the influence of Mercury.
Day of communications, negotiations and communication. This is the best day to resolve all issues and interact with all your partners and customers. On this day everything is resolved easily and successfully.
The color of the environment is green. It is very favorable to wear green in clothes, and also to decorate yourself with green stones (emerald, malachite). There cannot be an overabundance of this color; it helps everyone.
An extremely good day to start new projects and your creations!
To harmonize the influence of Mercury on your life, it is necessary not to swear, not to utter harsh words, not to judge, not to criticize others. The sages said that if you condemn and criticize someone, you take part of his bad karma and give him your good. And for them it was the highest joy if someone discussed them - at that moment part of their bad karma went away. So don’t worry if someone judges you behind your back – on the contrary, rejoice!
Thursday is Jupiter's day.
Jupiter is the most generous, magnanimous and beneficent of the planets, the planet of creativity.
The day is favorable for learning and for resolving all legal issues. On this day you will easily be able to learn something new, implement some new ideas in your creativity, communicate well with your teachers and masters. Negotiations are also favorable.
Thursday's color is yellow. It is good to wear yellow in clothes. Stones – yellow sapphire and topaz, citrine, amber.
To harmonize Jupiter, you need to do good, be optimistic and enjoy life.
Friday is the day of Venus.
Girls, this is our day! This is the day of female beauty and everything feminine. On this day, if you go shopping, you will buy everything, even what you don’t really need. Creating on this day is a real pleasure, because... Venus herself will help you in this, and you will get extraordinary, beautiful things.
On this day it is very favorable to treat yourself to something tasty, go to restaurants, dress up, and chat with friends.
Clothing can be any color, but not dark, everything should be elegant, bright and feminine. The Venus stone is a diamond, but in terms of energy, both a crystal and all iridescent beautiful stones or jewelry are suitable. The main rule is that it should shine and be beautiful!
Saturday is Saturn day.
According to the Vedas, it is believed that Saturday is for solitude and meditation. On this day you need to slow down all your activities and stop for rest. Don't do the same work you've been doing all week. It’s good to rest, walk, read - do everything that helps you calm down, relax and slow down the usual rhythm of life.
If you work on Saturday, then Saturn will tell you: “Okay, do you want to work? That means you’ll also work hard all next week without a break!”
By the way, if you go shopping on Saturday, then most likely you will buy only the most necessary things, you will not want everything else. You may also want to hand over everything you bought on Friday.
The colors of Saturn are black, dark brown, dark blue. These colors should not be worn; they attract despondency, depression, and tension. If possible, avoid wearing a lot of these colors in your clothing on all days.
Saturn's birthstone is sapphire. But not everyone can wear it, because... For those whose Saturn is not harmonious, it can attract despondency and tension to you.
Sunday is the day of the sun.
Bright sunny day, active, cheerful. The day of making plans for the next week and the day of keeping promises.
On this day it is favorable to carry out all the planned tasks, everything will work out on time and accurately. According to Vedic astrology, this day is considered a day of service to one's husband or father.
Also, be sure to make a plan for yourself for the next week - without a plan, the week will be wasted. In general, it is extremely necessary to have a plan for a week, six months, a year and 5 years.
To harmonize the Sun, you need to get up early, play sports, be active, and also keep all your promises.
The color of the Sun is orange. Stones - amber and all orange-yellow stones.
Also, it will be a good helper in your endeavors if you sometimes look at the Lunar calendar. So, it is favorable to start all things on the waxing Moon, and finish and complete them on the waning Moon. Avoid important matters during eclipses and new moons.
If you start following even just these simple rules, you will notice how your life will change. You will no longer worry if suddenly on Monday you wanted to cry for no reason, and on Tuesday someone suddenly made you very angry - you will simply put off your business until Wednesday, or wait until Friday to enjoy communication and your beauty.
