This article is all about why Aquarians need aquamarine.
Aquarius
Before we dive into the best crystal for Aquarius, let’s explore the Aquarius horoscope. Who knows, you may find out something you did not know!
Did you know that Aquarius is the last air sign in the zodiac?
Despite Aquarius having ‘aqua’ in its name, it is not a water sign. Air signs operate using air energy. Air energy is all about the mind. This sign is considered very intellectual, curious, and even social.
You might be raising an eyebrow at being social due to being mislabeled as aloof and distant. The reasons can be either: sometimes they get so caught up in their visions that they neglect those around them. On the other hand, they don’t do well with trivial small talk- they like to have meaningful conversations. Conversations based on gossip or people-pleasing niceties don’t bode well for Aquarians.
Social abilities are so important to this zodiac sign that they tend to be passionate about interpersonal dynamics. There is a heavy emphasis on being about to communicate with others, regardless of the type of setting. Whether it is one-to-one, one-to-group, or group-to-group. Aquarians do excel in teamwork and collaboration due for this very reason.
There is a sensitive side to Aquarius that tends to be overlooked. Although they are mislabeled as aloof and distant, this sign requires love, appreciation, and support! What human beings doesn’t?!
Aquarians are the most innovative, progressive, rebellious, nontraditional, and humanitarian of all the zodiac signs. They absolutely believe in and love to contribute to the greater good. Visionaries of the future that seek to bring their knowledge and expertise to the mass to create a better way of life.
Don’t you think the Aquarius crystal should be best matched to those born under this sign?
What Does the ‘Aqua’ in Aquarius Mean?
So where does the ‘aqua’ in Aquarius come from?
Well, Aquarius is represented by the water bearer. The water bearers help to move water to areas that are needed. While air cannot directly produce water, it can move it from one place to another.
Think about it. Wind can move rain clouds from one part of your city to another. It helps spread hydration to places that need it and those that don’t, but who is asking? The depiction of Aquarius pouring water can also stand for washing away the past or unproductivity. This one is up to personal interpretation.
As mentioned before, Aquarians are excellent at teamwork and collaboration. They don’t need to produce the water, but they can help to distribute it and feel just as accomplished. Due to their passionate understanding of interpersonal dynamics, they can do this seamlessly.
