Physical Healing Properties

Being so linked to the Goddess energy and the divine feminine, It’s no surprise that for those people who suffer from PMS, the Moonstone could be your ticket to softer symptoms and better hormonal balance. The Moonstone powerfully affects the reproductive organs and brings your body into its own cycle. For those who are struggling with fertility issues, the Moonstone can also help to bring these issues into healthier fruition. Parents to be will also find strength and power in the Moonstone as it can help to ease all kinds of physical discomforts often associated with pregnancy and childbearing.

Mental & Emotional Healing Properties

If you’ve ever felt like you were losing your mind on a full moon, then this is just a hint as to how much the Moon affects our emotional balance. The Moonstone is here to shine a light through the darkness and to elevate all those feelings. When you take a symbol of the moon and keep it on your person or in your life, it will intuitively link you to the universe and can bring all those wild hormones into check, ensuring that you are moving in flow with the world outside your window. The Moonstone is also known as the stone of new beginnings. Everything passes, everything changes and the Moonstone reminds you how important it is to embrace the cyclical nature of the seasons and not to fear the turning of the page and the potential of new chapters. Rather than sink into overwhelm, the Moonstone helps you to process and accept through the harmony of its natural healing powers.

Metaphysical Properties

Cosmic and charming, the Moonstone is rich with psychic abilities and a great connector to the chakras. There is something deeply spiritual about this glimmering stone – just like watching the moonbeams dance of the midnight ocean, it instils us with a sense of wonder and calm. The Moonstone connects beautifully with the Heart Chakra, the Third Eye Chakra and the Crown Chakra, the two chakras that invite us to look deep within so that we can see far beyond the confines of our own periphery. These two chakras when open and attuned help us to find our place in the universe and help us to feel part of this great cosmic jigsaw swirling above our heads.

Zodiac Birthstone

The Moonstone is one of the mothering birthstones for those born under the star sign of Libra. Librans are known for their gentle diplomatic nature and for being as sharp as a tack. But at times, Librans can also be a little indecisive, too shy away from any form of confrontation, and never that up for change. The Moonstone can help Librans to accept change in their life with grace and glory, to not fear the decision-making process because like the moon, life rises and falls and nothing remains a constant.

Scorpios too may find solace in the round glow of the Moonstone. Scorpios are brave and bright and unflinchingly loyal. They can also be quick to reactive behavior and turned towards jealousy. The Moonstone can bring its gentle feminine energy to the table to balance this out, ensuring that the contemplative yin nature is present alongside the push of the yang.

As mentioned, the Moonstone represents the divine and emotional balance making it a great stone for bringing harmony into your home. Place the stone in places where family or shared house tensions can run high and let it bring the temperature down into a softer and cooler place. Find a home for your Moonstone in studios and workspaces to welcome a little more creative play, and place the stone close to the bed for when you are aiming to bring power and positive balance to fertility issues.

Jewelry

If you truly want to make the most of the Moonstones power then the best way to bring it into your world is with Moonstone jewelry. Whether you choose a glorious glowing Moonstone bracelet or a beautiful Moonstone ring upon your finger, having the stone set directly against your skin allows for maximum absorption of its power. When gemstones are placed on the skin, the stone is able to work with the natural frequencies of your body, sending those healing vibes right where are they needed.

Other stones that complement the Moonstone include the protective energy of Obsidian, the shimmer of Opal, the iridescent nature of Labradorite, and the serene vibes of Amethyst.

How to Cleanse your Moonstone Crystal

Like all gemstones and healing crystals, your Moonstone will work best when it is kept regularly cleansed and charged. Healing crystals are forever mopping up negative vibes and sending our positive energy and to keep this flow fresh and fully activated, you may want to wash away those negative vibes from time to time. Just like the moon hanging in the sky, Moonstone reacts beautifully to the combination of water and moonlight. Simply run your Moonstone underwater to cleanse its energy and then leave on the windowsill or in view of the waxing or full moon so it can soak up those rays.
