too˜clean and uncluttered by hidden motives. If your budget doesn't allow for jeweler's diamonds,
substitute Herkimer diamonds, long used as a stand-in.
TAURUS: There's nothing you like more than a great big chunk of polished perfect rock˜of any kind.
The stones that are best for you are lapis, that gorgeous blue stone that's laced with flecks of gold, and
rich, fertile Jade. The emerald is your traditional birthstone. Emeralds are the charming representative of
both the earth element and the planet Venus˜the building blocks you're made of. Its soothing color suits
you since you're spring-born. This stone is most powerful when set in copper, the metal that corresponds
with Venus.
GEMINI: Since you so love variety, it's no wonder your birth stone is the agate. The agate is also
associated with Mercury, your ruling planet. It's an aid to truth-telling and good to carry when you want
your words to be accurate. Although flourite is not traditionally associated with Gemini, it's a natural
match. Fluorite is connected to the air element, as it keeps the mind keen. Stick it on the computer and
pick it up when you get stuck between paragraphs.
CANCER: Your planet is the Moon, so the moonstone is naturally connected to you. Its gentle energy
protects against absorbing the emotions of others. Sapphires have an affinity with the Moon, too, and will
magnify your natural instinct and psychic powers. Chalcedony (a translucent, milky quartz) calms the
emotions, and, like moonstones, will keep away depression and sadness˜quite a boon for an emotional
creature like you. Any pink stone with soothing properties, like rose quartz or rhodochrosite, is also a
good talisman for Cancer. Carry or wear any stone on your left (the "incoming" side) as a filter for the
emotions.
LEO: Like Aries, a kindred fire sign, you love red, so when it comes to gems and stones, the royal ruby
springs to mind. Speaking of royalty, have whatever you wear set in that most royal of all metals˜gold.
Nothing suits a legend more, and gold has a long-standing link with the Sun, your ruling planet. To
increase your natural courage and help you speak eloquently, a trait any performer appreciates, wear
carnelian Amber is also a good match for you, as it holds the life force your sign is famous for.
VIRGO: Although the agate is one of your birthstones the type that seems to Correspond best with your
sign is the moss agate, a lovely clear stone with feathery green threads running through it that look like
ferns. This stone is best worn while gardening, one of your very favorite pastimes. Agates also promote
good physical health, and health is your business, after all. Your other birthstone, the aventurine,
increases the perceptive powers, sharpens the intellectual faculties, and helps to fine-tune the
eyesight˜something any draftsperson can use.
LIBRA: Your traditional birth stone is the opal, but there are other stones that can be worn or carried to
help you achieve your goal of finding and keeping that one special other. Any stone associated with
Venus, your ruling planet, will do nicely, such as lapis lazuli. This lovely blue stone with golden flecks
of pyrite mystically blends the energies of Venus and Mars (the planets in charge of relationships), and is
worn to soothe, heal, and calm the wearer. Another good stone for Libra is kunzite, since its specialty is
attracting love.
SCORPIO: Black is Pluto's color, and red belongs to Mars, the planet that ruled Scorpio before Pluto was
discovered. These are the traditional power colors, and power is your specialty˜so these stones will attract
you most. Red stones like carnelian, jasper, and red garnets appeal to your warrior side, and black stones
fascinate you˜like apache tears, black tourmaline, or hematite. To ground and protect yourself, use Pluto's
favorite stones, spinet kunzite, or rutilated quartz, which is perfect for Scorpio since it's a stone within a
stone, and, like you, is full of buried treasure.
SAGITARIUS: Sagittarius' most important goal is to truly be a 'wise one," so sodalite is wonderful for
you. It helps to gain wisdom and to pass that wisdom back out into the world. Sodalite (and sugilite) also
calms the mind, and may help even Sagittarians settle down long enough to meditate. Amethyst, ruled by
Sag's planet, Jupiter, is another good match. Itclears the mind and quickens the wit. You'll love both blue
and amber topaz, too, said to bring wealth and happiness to all December-born.
