If you have spent any time here, you will see that we talk about two things a lot: crystals and astrology. The most common question I get is ‘why?’ What does a Full Moon have to do with Amethyst?
Understanding how crystals and astrology work together is the golden thread that ties all of our work together. It is our core philosophy, and it is the key to using our energetic tools with true, conscious intention.
At Mystic Grove, we do not just sell crystals. We provide guidance for aligning your energy with the rhythm of the cosmos.
Here is how it works.
Think of Astrology as the “Energetic Weather”
Astrology is so much more than a daily horoscope. It is a forecast for the energetic weather.
The Moon’s phases, the planets’ movements, and the signs they are in all create a specific frequency or vibration that affects us here on Earth.
- A Full Moon brings a high frequency, “peak” energy that can make us feel emotional and illuminated.
- A New Moon brings a quiet, “in breath” energy, perfect for planting seeds.
- Saturn brings a heavy, grounding energy of discipline.
- Uranus brings a sudden, electric “shock” of change.
This “weather” is not good or bad. It just is. It is the energetic environment we are all living in.
Think of Crystals as Your “Energetic Tools”
So, if astrology is the weather, crystals are your tools to navigate it.
They are your energetic tuning forks, your anchors, and your amplifiers.
As we explain in our post “How Do Crystals Work?”, every crystal has a stable, physical structure. This means it holds a stable, consistent frequency.
- Rose Quartz holds the stable frequency of “unconditional love.”
- Smoky Quartz holds the stable frequency of “grounding and protection.”
- Citrine holds the stable frequency of “joy and abundance.”
When our own energy field (our aura) gets “knocked out of tune” by the “weather” (like feeling anxious during a Full Moon), holding a crystal with a stable frequency helps us to re-tune ourselves.
How We Use Them Together: The Magic of Alignment
This is where true, practical magic happens. Our philosophy is to match the tool to the weather.
This is called energetic alignment.
For example, let’s look at the planet Mars.
- The “Weather”: Mars is the planet of action, passion, and fire. It rules the sign of Aries.
- The “Tools”: Crystals that resonate with this same fiery, active, Sacral Chakra frequency are stones like Carnelian (motivation), Tiger’s Eye (courage), and Pyrite (action).
So, when we have a Full Moon in Aries (a high energy, Mars ruled event), what tools do we use? We use the Mars-ruled crystals. We use Carnelian to harness that fire with confidence, rather than letting it turn into anger.
We are aligning our tools (the crystals) with the forecast (the astrology).
This is the Mystic Grove philosophy.
- Our Lunar & Cosmic Forecasts tell you what the energetic weather is.
- Our Knowledge Base (like our guide to The 12 Houses) tells you where in your life that weather is happening.
- Our Shop provides you with the tools you need to navigate it all with intention.
You are not just a passive observer of the cosmos. You are an active participant. And we are here to provide you with the map, the compass, and the anchor for your journey.
