Aries
ELEMENT: FIRE
RULING PLANET: MARS
COLOUR: RED
Traditionally connected with Aries, Garnet gives courage and strength. It is an incredibly powerful protective stone, as it helps you see past deception.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
This is the month where you may find yourself contemplating a new path, a new promise or perhaps even a new approach to the same situation. Aries, your life needs you to show up and it doesn't say it subtly this month. It pushes you to notice and do something about it. The only way to keep moving is to pick your battles wisely and not give energy to every single piece of distortion or irritation that comes your way. Either in the form of a revelation, an epiphany or simply a truth you cannot unsee, this month brings in surprises in the simplest yet most unexpected possible ways. Accept that invite that you have a hunch about, stay open to changes in plans and, most importantly, keep your ears, eyes and senses open to the yet unseen because that is where your game changes for good.
Power Crystal: Gold, although not a crystal, use this as a metal or colour to bring some much-needed vitality and confidence into your life.
Taurus
ELEMENT: EARTH
RULING PLANET: VENUS
COLOUR: EMERALD GREEN
Pyrite is a wonderful crystal for Taurus, as it is said to bestow an abundance of blessings in favour of hard work and perseverance. It is especially attuned to Taurus energy, as it is an earth element crystal that also resonates with the fire element.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
This month helps you realise that life may not simply be about winning at the goalpost. It is mainly about winning each day and making it as memorable and supportive for yourself and those who you cross paths with, Taurus. Money matters look up this month as does your intuition. But something has been up—and you know you have been feeling subtly restless about it. This month, try opening your heart a little less calculatively and a little more genuinely. Nope, we are not accusing you of being fake, but sometimes human nature invariably and unknowingly pushes us to do good but expects it to be appreciated or returned in some form immediately. Your theme this month is to do whatever you do not for the accolades but for what it brings into your life—in your heart. Take a good look at how you wish to evolve and be remembered, not just by the world but by even those who are in your innermost circle. Don't minimise yourself but also continue with your golden touch, knowing that the cosmos is witnessing every single intention.
Power Crystal: Angelite, to keep you connected with your higher goals and purpose.
Gemini
ELEMENT: AIR
RULING PLANET: MERCURY
COLOUR: YELLOW AND WHITE
Citrine helps increase intelligence, which is what the airy twins ultimately long for in life. Through the guidance of this crystal, Gemini will also be able to enhance their memory and energy.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
The month may start off on a reflective note and then simply spiral off into you sparking off a debate between your intuition and your fears. Your intuition may ask you to go and, while the cosmos works to get things going in your favour, your fears may struggle to let you have a grip over yourself. Now, this is not all that bad because somewhere along the way you decide to take a stand and back up your instincts with faith and grit. You find the courage to believe in yourself, you find the courage to let an old story go, you find the courage to not let others' opinions of you get the better of you. Gemini, you rise like a phoenix and you do it with your heart in the right place.
Power Crystal: Topaz, for emotional balance and letting go of just the right stuff.
Cancer
ELEMENT: WATER
RULING PLANET: MOON
COLOUR: WHITE AND BLUSH
Rose Quartz is an excellent crystal for boosting some of the best traits of people born under Cancer. It is a stone that amplifies compassion, kindness, unconditional love and self-love.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
You've been doing a lot on your own, Cancer, and sure, it hasn't been easy but you are now better for it. You can see that the ideas you once had but did not have the courage to pursue are the ones that are divinely sent and are needed to take you to the next level. You are willing to show up differently and perhaps even accept help where it is needed. You are willing to do good but not at the cost of yourself and your happiness and somehow you strike a win-win situation. You are supported in miraculously cosmic ways and, Cancer, this month there is no stopping you. Your eyes are set on the prize and your heart is set on your purpose.
Power Crystal: Apophyllite, to bring in angelic help, assistance and open a doorway to unlimited cosmic abundance.
Leo
ELEMENT: FIRE
RULING PLANET: SUN
COLOUR: ORANGE, YELLOW AND GOLD
Tiger’s Eye is known as the traditional Leo stone because it is a creativity and positivity opener. It opens roads by allowing the lion to achieve confidence, positivity, and balance.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
This month makes you want to move, but in just the right ways. Leo, you may have been feeling tired of this incessant circular message or repertoire in your life and September offers you a lifeboat in the middle of the rainforest. Now, you may feel it is of no use, but once you get in, you realise that your landscape turns into a waterfall that helps you get out of this sticky spot. If you've been looking for more meaning in your life, you may just end up finding your why. If you have been looking for a way out, you may just find the exact door or epiphany that helps you shapeshift your way through life. Whatever it is that you have been struggling with, if you simply stop hinging back into your past, you will be able to welcome people and resources that come in as much-welcomed harbingers of change.
Power Crystal: Ametrine, to balance ideas and action; keep your purpose-led and heart-centred approach.
Virgo
ELEMENT: EARTH
RULING PLANET: MERCURY
COLOUR: BLUE AND SILVERY WHITE
Smoky Quartz is one of the best stones to ward off negativity and resonates with the Crown and Root Chakras. Wearing Smoky Quartz as jewellery is recommended especially for people who are sensitive to negative energies in their environment.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
Relationships have been your main theme lately and, Virgo, this month is reviving and revitalising your one-on-one bonds. It's almost as though a huge karmic cycle has ended and not in a bad way. You have come into your own, you are ready to call the shots on how you wish to manage your relationships. You are ready to listen to your own personal way of manoeuvring through life. Nostalgia may take you back in time, but darling, this month you are ready to bring back your Midas touch and transform your energy and life in all the good ways.
Power Crystal: Ruby, to open your heart and receive love and blessings.
Libra
ELEMENT: AIR
RULING PLANET: VENUS
COLOUR: PINK
As Apatite is a highly-effective stone for increasing focus and mental clarity, it is the perfect stone to use against Libra’s indecisive nature. It also encourages positive self expression and communication especially in group settings.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
You are rising from the ashes this month, Libra. From feeling lost and confused, you are emerging like a new person, with focus and clarity about the direction in which you wish to go. Gain clarity about where you are headed this month, Libra, and then simply begin walking in that direction. You will find the support you need, you will find just the right people at just the right time. This is your chance to view life as an apprentice while still being the master of your own destiny. Keep putting one foot ahead of the next and you will keep receiving all the proof and signs you need that you are moving in the right direction.
Power Crystal: Blue Kyanite, for self-care and letting go of rundown habits and narratives.
Scorpio
ELEMENT: WATER
RULING PLANETS: PLUTO & MARS
COLOUR: BLACK AND GREY
Aquamarine is an exceptional stone for Scorpios, as both are associated with water. Its energy is calming and soothing, and is perfect for the overly active Scorpio. Wear Aquamarine jewellery when travelling for protection.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
You have been reflecting and, Scorpio, this month you are focussed on the long term. You are looking behind the scenes, you are trying to notice all the different ways in which you are supported. You may be leading but with a balanced outlook. And this month, the biggest shift that conspires in your favour, Scorpio, is that you are rising above fear and tuning into your intuition. You know you need to wait just a little longer, you know which way you need to go. So take your time to weigh your decisions. Let your heart be your guiding light and let your mind help you plan everything that needs to be put in place. The answers you seek are found in creative breakthroughs and lateral thinking. And they simply cannot be forced.
Power Crystal: Lapis Lazuli, for strengthening your intuition and helping you tune in—also helping you calm down your nervous system while bringing in that dash of fated luck.
Sagittarius
ELEMENT: FIRE
RULING PLANETS: JUPITER AND NEPTUNE
COLOUR: ORANGE, YELLOW AND PURPLE
Amethyst is the perfect stone for the ever-wandering Sagittarius, as it puts their minds and bodies at ease. As a soothing stone, it also helps calm the mind especially when rest is needed; it is an excellent cure for insomnia.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
You weighed the pros and cons, you made your choices and you tried your best to balance situations out. And Sagittarius, September is here to elevate your experience of life. You feel fuller, more contented and happier and it is only because you gave yourself non-judgemental time and space to tune in and listen to your inner voice. This month, while you are ready to gallop away into the vast fields full of wildflowers, you may also feel a little bit of hesitation and the urge to look back. Pause if you must, but remember that the only way to create a life you want is to look into the future. Trust yourself to make the soundest decisions you possibly can.
Power Crystal: Kunzite, to heal your heart and help you make the right choices by staying rooted in your present.
Capricorn
ELEMENT: EARTH
RULING PLANET: SATURN
COLOUR: BROWN, OCHRE AND GREY
Onyx is associated with Capricorn because of its connection to the earth and its grounding energy. Onyx can help you harness your inner strengths and transform negative emotions into positive ones.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
Fear of money, family and children may be haunting you, Capricorn. You are someone who needs to know that everyone you love is well taken care of. And this time round, your fears may be stemming from a more physical/material plane. While yes, a little bit of streamlining and understanding your finances may help in laying foundations for a more stable future, you must also remember that trying to fine-tune to the tee may simply mean that you are disallowing the cosmos to assist you in brainstorming some creative breakthroughs. Watch your health and your heart this month. Happiness and mental peace are the most underrated forms of wealth that could ever be achieved.
Power Crystal: Yellow Jasper, for releasing the need to control and to assist your manifestations naturally.
Aquarius
ELEMENT: AIR
RULING PLANETS: URANUS AND SATURN
COLOUR: BLUE AND GREEN
Turquoise balances and aligns all the chakras, stabilising mood swings and instilling inner calm. It is excellent for depression and exhaustion and also has the power to prevent panic attacks. It promotes self-realisation and assists creative problem solving.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
A state of review and objective assessment is the main theme for you. It may have been so for the past sometime now and this month begins with you trying to sort your life into varying degrees of priority. Aquarius, you move from an inability or uncertainty towards taking the next right step to finding yourself making courageous, bold moves when the time feels right. A new person, idea, drive or simply your renewed self-confidence pushes you towards making choices that guide you forward in just the right ways. Take a moment to pause and enjoy where you are as well before you decide to turn over a new leaf. A toxic, survival-based cycle is ending and here you are, finding new and better ways to get to the abundant shores that lie ahead of you.
Power Crystal: Titanium rainbow quartz, to help you see the multidimensionality of this situation and yourself and make the best of it.
Pisces
ELEMENT: WATER
RULING PLANETS: NEPTUNE AND JUPITER
COLOUR: DEEP BLUE AND SEA
Tourmaline promotes energy flow and inspiration. It aids in transforming stagnant energy into positive vibrations by cleansing and protecting your aura – handy for empathetic Pisceans who need help to ‘shield their field’ from energy vampires.
SEPTEMBER HOROSCOPE:
You've done the drill and you know nothing's changing. Pisces, the same story on repeat has got you asking for a breather. You are ready to move on, you are ready to seek more meaning in your life—however, you are also afraid of what lies ahead. You are also afraid of the uncertain. And while the adage ‘change is the only constant’ may seem overused, you feel it now. Life has been totally fluid and you know that it has not been easy. But you are a wise one. You learnt enough from your past to know where you stand and where you wish to be headed. But the key here is to carry forward the lessons, not let yourself remain chained to your past. And September offers you a chance to break free and try life once again.
Power Crystal: Aqua Aura Quartz, to help you communicate healthily and effectively within your relationships.
