Connecting with Your Planets Using Crystals

 

Did you know that we all have a planet assigned to us at birth? The exact time we were born is like our individual marker in the world. It’s very unique as almost no two birth charts are the same. Each planet is also unique, offering its own special energy and ancient wisdom to us. What you may not know is that you have a powerful and very special bond with your birth planet or ruling planet. You can even use the energy of this planet to connect to others in the cosmos to gain their healing energy and attributes. Connecting with your planets using crystals is the most effective way to achieve this synergy. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

 

Connecting with Your Planets Using Crystals

 

There have been crystals associated with each planet since the dawn of time. It has been written about for centuries and perfected over time, though the fundamental crystals have remained the same. Some legends even claim that many of the crystals were born from the cosmos, possibly from the planets, and then transferred to Earth via meteors or other higher plane methods. However it happened, there is no denying that the crystals for each planet are strongly connected to them.

As you would expect, each planet has a different energy and brings us different traits personally. It’s long been known that you can pull the energy down from each planet to gain the aspects from it that you need. However, it can be a complicated process of alignment, ceremonies, and finding the right items to carry and distribute the energy. Crystals have been used for this process for centuries since they are the perfect conductors and distributors of energy.

The main problem is being able to use a planet’s energy that is not your own. For example, if you were born under Mercury, then that is your birth planet or ruling planet and your cosmic energy is already connected to it. However, if you want to bring in energy from Jupiter for luck, a ceremony or some other type of process has to take place for you to connect to that energy and benefit from it. Thankfully, while the methods have remained the same, the introduction of better technology and the access to more crystals as allowed us to make this process easier and attainable by everyone.

All you need to connect to and use another planet’s energy is a crystal aligned to that particular planet and a crystal aligned to your own planet. For example, as we mentioned before, if you were born under the planet of Mercury but are looking to benefit from Jupiter’s energy, you would just need a Mercury crystal and a Jupiter crystal. We’ll explain more about how this works below.

 

Finding Your Birth Planet & Crystal

 

We’ve made finding your birth planet and crystal easy! Just take a look at the chart below. Find when you were born in the first column and then you can easily look at the other columns to see your birth planet and that planet’s matching crystal.

The information in this list is derived from ancient texts, prolific authors like William Lilly (a 17th-century astrologer who published numerous and widely used astrological texts and corresponding crystals) and George Frederick Kunz (a 19th-century American mineralogist and collector as well as a renowned writer), as well as consideration to modern schools of thought.

 

Quick Overview of Planets, Energies, and Crystals

 

 

How Connecting with Your Planets Using Crystals Work

 

A crystal that is aligned to your birth planet or your ruling planet will already innately be connected to you and your energy. When you’re looking to bring in the energy from another planet, all you need is your planet’s crystal and the crystal for the other planet. Once you hold both of the crystals together, they will instantly start to connect with each other and you. Take a look at the diagram below.

 

In the diagram above, the crystals have been aligned and charged by each planet. When a crystal is held within each hand, the energy is dispersed throughout the body and then spread to each crystal. There is a connection made within the body that is then transported to each crystal. This allows you to use the alignment of your birth planet crystal to connect with and use the energy of other planets. You can read more about the extended attributes and energy of each planet below.

 

Get the Aligned Crystals You Need for Each Planet

 

Each of the crystals below has been aligned to each planet using a special ceremony. We use a special star map to track where the planets are and then align them underneath the night sky. This also gives them the opportunity to charge under the Moon as well. As they are charging and being aligned, a Reiki Master performed a specific blessing for each needed attribute. For example, Amethyst is aligned under Jupiter and then blessed in a Reiki ceremony for added luck and optimism.

Question: How do I use the energy of two or more planets at once?
