Crystals for Aries Season
For Protection: Aries energy encourages us to act fearlessly and to forge a new path for ourselves. This can be extremely helpful for finding the courage to break free of attachments but can leave us vulnerable to the deception and threat caused by others. We recommend using bloodstone, hematite, and garnet for protection and strength. 

For Soothing: The childlike energy of Aries can also uproot feelings of unease, irritability, frustration, and anger which may cause us to feel overwhelmed or unbalanced. If this is the case for you, then the following crystals can help with soothing the mind, improving communication, improving empathy, and calming aggression and rough behavior. These crystals are aquamarine, aventurine, black onyx, clear quartz, and rose quartz.

For Intuition: During Aries season, it can be easy to lose sign of your Divine, spiritual connection as raw human emotions are emphasized. We recommend amethyst to improve intuition and connection to the Divine. 

For Prosperity + Courage: If you are not feeling these effects of Aries season, like fiery energy and courage, then you can use the following crystals to enhance the fire within. Citrine is a strong crystal for manifestations, eliminating negativity, and encouraging unconditional love and prosperity. The Aries fire can be lit by using carnelian. Note: carnelian may result in too much fire and lead to aggression and selfishness, make sure to balance it with one of the soothing stones above.
