A protective crystal is a spiritual and natural approach to protecting your heart or finding love.
By Jonathan Mui — Written on Jan 06, 2019
People have sought energy for various reasons, and one of them is for protection.
Everything has forms of energetic properties. Crystals bring a certain power you possess internally to the forefront of your mind. If you wear an item of clothing it makes you feel good inside.
If you wear a protective energy crystal, you can also sense the strength it brings you to find love, luck, or even ward off jealousy, negative thinking, and worry.
Lately, the wearing of energy crystals associated with a person's zodiac sign has become quite popular. People buy the online or at a New Age store.
More often than not, the wearer is searching for something better in life. The buyer wants an answer to life's questions.
Whether living in a tiny one bedroom apartment or living in the suburbs of Mississippi, being a woman comes with many challenges.
Proving to your boss that you are qualified for the promotion or getting accepted for a credit card comes with many obstacles that are faced with these simple tasks.
During certain astrological seasons challenges can be emotionally and spiritually draining. Having to constantly prove to society or weeding out the bad guys from your dating app can be tiresome.
Having protective crystals can be a great way to make sure that life can be smoother. Having spirituality can be a great tool to assist with creating a better life.
Positive energy is the best way for anyone to have a happy life. Not having to deal with sexism or trolls, you can be more focused on passions that you are interested in.
A great tool to use when purchasing protective crystals is to see what your zodiac sign is. Like each Sun sign, each protective crystal has unique properties and characteristics.
Each crystal comes with its own properties that each horoscope sign needs and it's often associated with the same elemental properties studied in ancient times that were passed down by astrologers throughout the centuries.
Here are the best protective crystals, and their astrology energy associations, to wear, according to your zodiac sign.
ARIES (March 21 — April 19): Garnet
Born as someone who loves the world and its challenges, you are someone who loves your career, friends, and overall life. In order to keep up with your social status and activities, the best crystal for the Fire sign is garnet.
It enhances your endurance which will allow you to keep up with all of the things you have going on. Think of it as a natural caffeine booster.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Lapis Lazuli

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Citrine
Scorpios are seen as gothic, intense types. They tend to be more on the darker side of things; wanting to know your deepest and darkest secrets. Being around them can be quite emotional.

Having one of these will help you in life with change and acceptance.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): Aquamarine
