Tips for Buying Crystals for Your Birthday
“What the top crystals for your birthday is” – is not the easiest question for someone else to answer. To empower you, here is guidance for buying crystals for your birthday and new year to bring in all the good vibes!

Your birthday is a good time to take stock of the year that’s past. Think about what you’ve achieved to celebrate that and think about what you didn’t achieve.

Things you didn’t achieve which don’t align with you anymore, let them go. That space can be occupied with new energy! For the things you didn’t achieve but still want to strive for, get clear about it, so brainstorm steps you can take through the year. You also want to think about what you want this new chapter to look like for you. A lot of people do this at the start of every new year, but it works just as well for your birthday.

Having direction for the new year can set the stage for choosing the top crystals for your birthday. It’s not a life or death matter if you don’t have very much direction, so don’t stress too much!

Tips for Choosing the Top Crystals for Your Birthday:

Go to a crystal shop and let your intuition guide you. You an either take notes of the stones you’re drawn to or purchase those. When you get home, research those crystals! This is going to show you in what ways they resonate with you and your life. Look for common threads if there are any and journal about it to set up a theme or intention for yourself. Once you have that intention or theme of sorts, go further and create affirmations inspired by the crystals, how they can support you and your intention.

If you have a word of the year or specific goals set up, look up crystals associated with that. I like to refer to my crystal books or HealingCrystals.com’s Common Conditions Guide for crystal suggestions. I look at images of the crystals suggested, and note down the ones that catch my eye. Then I go back through the ones that I liked and read up about them to see which are resonating with me. This is a great a starting point for choosing crystals for my birthday, new year or new chapter.

Another route you can explore for birthday crystals are crystals based on your zodiac sign or birth month. Research the stones that are associated and see which you’re drawn to.

Something important to mention about crystals and zodiac signs: Just because a crystal is not associated with your sign or birth month, it does not mean that you cannot work with it or have it. Zodiac associations are guidelines, except if that’s part of the crystal healing and astrology training you have received.

Tips for Choosing Crystals for a Loved One’s Birthday

If you have a loved one whose birthday is coming up, you can definitely follow the same route:
- Going with your intuition and keeping them in mind when you make your selection/s when purchasing.
- Asking them about what they need support with (love, confidence, motivation, new beginnings, etc.) and researching stones linked to that. Keep that person in mind when you’re choosing and purchasing the stones for your loved one.
- Choosing stones based on their zodiac signs or birth months.
NB: When it comes to choosing stones for a special someone, you can never go wrong with any selection because you’re buying it with love. Remember that. Trust your intuition and let love lead the way!

Apatite for Body Love
Apatite is known for helping to suppress your appetite, but I enjoy working with Apatite for body love and appreciating the house your soul resides in.

Whether your body is big or small, tall or short, is beside the point today. Too often we nitpick at parts of us which aren’t deemed attractive by the media or people around us. We learn to hate those bits and spend little time appreciating our body. Your soul is in YOUR body. It’s our job to treat it better and look at it with kinder eyes instead of critical ones. Easier said than done, but I do believe that 5 minutes can make a difference in the long run.

Blue Apatite for Body Love

Blue Apatite, most known for helping to encourage mindful eating or “suppress the appetite” as the saying goes, but I want to take you further with Apatite. Here’s a little exercise for you:

Look at yourself in the mirror with your Apatite in your hand, let it wash over your eyes and see yourself with your soul’s eyes, with love and appreciation. Stand there and look at yourself in the eyes, tell yourself that you appreciate yourself and your body.

Point out one area you adore and FEEL that appreciation.

Then look at another area which isn’t your favourite, and with that same feeling of appreciation you felt for the area you love, I want you to extend it as best as you can to this unfavourite area. Choose to send this area some love and appreciation.

Why Appreciate your Body

I believe that any change, small and big, comes when we begin to appreciate ourselves first as we are right now. This is where we are and it may not be where we want to be with our bodies but it’s where we are. Acknowledging that helps us to be present so that we don’t bypass to jump to what seems better. It says:

“I see you now, I’m going to treat you better and appreciate you more.”

So whether you want to lose weight or not, be fitter or not, wish you were taller or shorter or whatever feature or not, I want you to love yourself as you are right now. Don’t focus solely on the things you hate about your body or wish were different, also see the parts you love because “what you focus on expands”. The more you dislike about you, the more you’ll find to dislike. So focus a little on the bits you DO like and love, even if it’s just your brows

More about Blue Apatite

Apatite actually comes in a range of colours but Blue Apatite is obviously blue. It has such a lovely aquatic, turquoise blue.

Here are some more interesting tidbits about the metaphysical properties of Blue Apatite:
- Works well with the Throat Chakra making it great for anyone who relies on communication in their job (singers, actors, teachers, sales, writers, etc.)
- It can bring better overall balance
- Psychic Abilities are enhanced when working with Blue Apatite (may be great for communicating with guides).
- It can deepen meditation.
- Helps you to connect with your inner self.
- Working with Apatite regularly may help those be more mindful of what they consume (food).
I’d love to hear how you work with Apatite. Share with me in the comments your experiences with this stone!

Moldavite Profile
Today I am talking about a stone I know FUCKALL about except what I’ve read in books. This stone persists in wanting to be shown so here I am sharing my story with it.

My History with the Crystal Lettuce Leaf

What can I say about Moldavite? It’s the crystal that every time I saw an image of, I wanted to throw up. I couldn’t understand why people thought this crystal was so awesome! For quite some time I formulated the theory that my home planet was invaded by wherever Moldavite originates and that’s why it effects me so strangely. I have no proof of this obviously, just what I said to explain my nausea.

After seeing Moldavite after Moldavite for a few weeks straight, I figured it was time and for my birthday, I received a piece of Moldavite from work. Oddly enough, the nausea just disappeared and I thought I’d at least feel it a little bit, but nothing. I started clearing it after I received it and clearly heard “I don’t need to be cleared thanks.” I promptly stopped smudging it then LOL! Cheeky lil fellow.

Moldavite has a lot of galactic, alien energy seeing as they were formed millions of years ago when a meteor crashed into earth. The meteorites fused with the earth’s materials and boom Moldavite was born. Some starseeds can find themselves attracted to it.

For now my Moldavite and I are enjoying meditating together. I suppose that when the time is right, it’ll talk again so I’ll hang around and keep at it. Figures, seeing as I’m learning about waiting right now and the art of “I don’t know”.

Moldavite in a nutshell:
- It is associated with the Third Eye and Heart Chakra.
- Spiritual growth can be accelerated.
- It enhances meditations/journeys, channeling and awareness of other outer space beings.
- Always work with a grounding stone before and after working with Moldavite as it can leave you spaced out.
- It reminds you that you are outta this world – stardust having a physical experience on earth.
If you LOVE Moldavite, leave a comment with your favorite emoji or tell me what makes it special to you.
