The Wisdom Light®’s Guide to Gem Stones, Precious Metals and Their Astrological Associations
First Rule to using this list: REMEMBER first and foremost that YOUR OWN INTUITION (not your fears or worries or wishes or any emotions, but true, clear intuition) is your best guide.
Who knows?! You may be guided to associate a particular stone with particular astrological attributes and use that in a way that is unique to your personal situation. You might be guided with wisdom for an attribute not yet recognized by others.
This is a guide of known associations and to get you going. There are many schools of belief and others may suggest differing traditions. Consider what you read and hear, then use your own intuition to synthesize, screen, toss-out or integrate what is right FOR YOU.
To start, consider using this guide when buying gifts for others or items for yourself. You can also use this guide if you know you need support to an afflicted or presently stressed sign or configuration of signs in your chart.*
Fun idea: Create a Star Medicine Bag of stones for each of the signs in your own astrological chart or as a gift for someone you love. There’s an association for every budget, so you can be as basic or extravagant as you want.

* Vedic Astrology heavily relies on gemstones to remedy or complement attributes in your Vedic Astrology Chart. This Eastern system is quite different from Western Astrology. Your Vedic Astrologer may have their own personal associations according to their school of learning. In any case, know that www.WisdomLightGems.com only carries natural stones of the highest energy vibration for that given stone, and all stones and jewelry pieces are individually hand-picked. Many pieces are specifically picked for a setting that offers maximum skin contact with the stone itself.
