Aquamarine Promotes Libra's Best Qualities

  Aquamarine is the third of four gemstones that benefit the Zodiac sign Libra. I previously wrote about how opals and peridot support Libras. And in my next article, I'll write about the beautiful blue gemstone, lapis lazuli. I have yet to find another sun sign that has this many powerful stones to choose from. Ready to find out how aquamarine brings out the best qualities of a Libra?  

The Scale of Balance

It's no surprise that the scale is the perfect symbol to represent Libras. One of their most prominent characteristics is their pursuit of balance, equity, and justice. Perhaps their greatest strengths lies in weighing both sides of an argument to suggest harmonious solutions. (source) Of course, this also proves one of their greatest weaknesses. Too many options often leads to indecision. Libras love balance, symmetry, harmony, and unity. Conversely, they hate injustice, dishonesty, violence, and inequality. (source) Libras live in balanced tension between their heads and their hearts. On the one hand, they depend on facts and logic to center their thinking and drive their decision making process. At the same time, they doggedly pursue closeness and harmony with others. (source) This is why blue gemstones provide tremendous support for Libras.    

Aquamarine for Libra

Blue gemstones like aquamarine impart ease, peace, and harmony. As such, they match perfectly with Libra's quest for harmony, balance, and fairness. (source) With its subtle vibrations, aquamarine promotes clear thinking, balanced emotions, and focused confidence. Aquamarines encourage Libras to use their gifts and talents to help others. A stone of humanity, these gorgeous sea-colored gems encourage open-mindedness, compassion, and receptivity to new ideas. (source) This pleasant vibrational energy tempers the aesthetic nature of Libras, which drives them to look at everything with a critical eye. It is just as easy for a Libra to turn their critical eye upon themselves as it is to turn it on others. Therefore, using aquamarine for support may serve as an important point of self care, as well.

How to Wear Aquamarines

The most powerful places a Libra can wear aquamarine is near their throats and hearts. Of course, for men this proves a bit of a challenge. Consider a single aquamarine stud as an earring or nose ring. Libra women obviously have more options. Aquamarine earrings place the stones near the throat and even within range of the heart chakra. Meanwhile, an aquamarine pendant centers the heart chakra perfectly. Both men and women can wear aquamarines set in a bracelet or ring. The two most important factors in choosing the right stone for support is quality and draw. Obviously, the higher the clarity and larger the size of your stone, the more energy it can direct your way. However, even more important than quality is how it makes you feel. When in doubt, choose the stone that seems to choose you. It will work the hardest for you every time. ~Angela Magnotti Andrews
