Zodiac Jewelry, Zodiac Birthstones

Discover your cosmic link with Zodiac signs and zodiac jewelry.

Zodiac signs provide details about your personality type based on how the stars were aligned on your date of birth. You may have noticed the fixed aspects like the Big Dipper that never seem to change and the stars that seem to only come at certain times of the year. The zodiac signs link these changes and the stable, fixed aspects with personality.

Zodiac signs have been prevalent as long as humans have stared at the heavens. Gemstones have been used to symbolize these zodiac signs as well. By wearing zodiac jewelry with gemstones from your astrological sign, you can link to the cosmic aspects that effect your life.

Whether you have had professional charts created for you, or only glance your astrological forcast in the newspaper or on the net, most people have at least some curiosity about their astrological sign and corresponding zodiac birthstones.

Zodiac Birthstones and Monthly Birthstones :: They're Not the Same

Every astrological sign has a number of stones associated with it. These gemstones differ from your monthly birthstones, which are the stones designated for the month of your birth, not the zodiac sign of your birth.

Here's another difference. Unlike monthly birthstones, which are now agreed upon by the American National Association of Jewelers, zodiac gemstones have no such authority. While researching information for these pages, I found many differences in the stones that were suggested for zodiac birthstone jewelry. (The most commonly suggested stone is always listed first and marked with an asterisk*)

Also, depending on the year you were born and the way the planets lined up, if you are in the cusp (bordering on two signs) you could well be in one sign and not the one that is more associated with that date of birth. This would also change the zodiac gemstone you are most closely aligned with. Consult with an astrologist for more on being born on a cusp.

Now that you've got a little backround, it's time to learn more about your zodiac sign and gemstone zodiac jewelry...>

Aquarians are inclined to be unpredictable behavior though they have a stable personality. They work well in a structured environment. They are also idealists and tend to be gentle generous humanitarians.

Aquarians are very interested in people and care for them as a collective group regardless of race, religion, or other stereotypes. They are very tolerant and friends with everyone.

On the shadow side of Aquarius, in addition to their unpredictable behavior, they tend to be stubborn, offhanded, and are unable to change once their mind is made up.

Pisces react emotionally to everything and are survivors who can easily adapt and change. They are often naturally psychic.

Pisces are great impersonators. They have a self-less work ethic. They also live in a private inner world full of mystery and magic. They need to be on their own but will come back to things that are familiar to them. They tend to be deeply religious.

In the dark areas of the sea, Pisces may be clinging and rather melancholy when their emotional needs are not being met. Because of their deeply feeling nature, they may need to watch out so they are not exploited or to lose themselves in otherís needs, forgetting their own.
