Gemini season is here! This astrological season, it’s important to focus on learning and new experiences. This is fueled by curiosity and the desire for greater understanding. Often, the knowledge gained during this season provides valuable lessons that will soon be needed in life. As we dive into Gemini season (May 21 – June 21), the focus shifts to being flexible and adapting to new situations. Discover more about this special time, and some of the best crystals for Gemini season to use in your healing practice…
Satisfying your curiosity often requires you to have new experiences or meet new people. This may be difficult for some (especially introverts), but the energy of Gemini’s ruling planet, Mercury, can give you the encouragement you need to try something new. You’ll likely be glad for the experience and look back at what you’ve accomplished with pride and joy.
Working with the following Gemini-aligned stones aligns you with the current celestial energies and is an excellent way to enhance the positive aspects of this astrological phase while balancing its challenges.

Top 3 Crystals for Gemini Season:
Blue Apatite: This crystal encourages you to take time to explore the world, either by traveling or by learning new things to expand your knowledge. Blue Apatite nudges you to step outside of your comfort zone. Further, it reminds you to stay present so you don’t miss out on life by dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
Howlite: This stone challenges your beliefs about your role in the world. Howlite encourages you to be flexible and when paired with Blue Apatite it can help you keep an open mind during new adventures and experiences.
Selenite: This crystal is excellent for energetic shielding and protection. Connecting with the energy of Selenite can help you feel more confident during new experiences. Additionally, Selenite helps you better understand and integrate the life lessons being shared with you during Gemini season.

Gemini Season Crystal Ritual & Meditation:
Ritual Overview:
- Gather supplies.
- Craft a crystal wand for Gemini season by attaching Apatite and Howlite stones to a Selenite blade.
- Hold the wand over your brow to call in new experiences and life lessons.
- Record your experiences or any guidance you receive to refer back to in the coming weeks.
Ritual Supplies:
- A Selenite wand
- A few Blue Apatite stones
- A few Howlite stones
- Copper wire or jeweler’s glue
Gather your supplies and arrange the Blue Apatite and Howlite stones on top of the Selenite wand in a pattern of your choice. Attach these stones to the Selenite blade using the jeweler’s glue or use the copper wire to wrap them into the Selenite (beads work best if wrapping the stones with wire). Allow the glue to dry completely according to the instructions on the packaging.
When you’ve finished crafting your wand, hold it in your hands with your eyes closed. Move the wand up to your brow and hold it vertically (parallel to your spine). Let the crystal energy open you to new experiences and helpful lessons that await you this Gemini season. Make a mental note of any symbols, words, or images that you see as they may be important to your journey over the next month.
Crystals for Gemini in Your Chart:
In addition to working with crystals during Gemini season, you may also want to work with the following stones if you have Gemini energy in your birth chart.
Each of us has many astrological influences that affect our energy and the way we interact with the world around us. The energies that have the biggest influence on you are your Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and Rising Sign. These are sometimes called “Your Big 3.” These can be determined by calculating of your natal chart using the full date, time, and place of your birth.
The Big Three
- Your Sun Sign is the astrological sign that the Sun was in during the time of your birth (also known as your Zodiac sign). The Sun is the center of all life and represents your personality and spirit.
- Your Moon Sign is determined by the sign that the Moon was in during the time of your birth and influences your Soul expression. Your Moon Sign represents your emotions, moods, and your innermost-self.
- Your Rising Sign, also known as your Ascendant, is the planetary influence that was on the Eastern horizon when you were born. Your Rising Sign is the starting point of the first house in your birth chart and has a good deal of influence on the characteristics of your personality (sometimes even outweighing those of your Sun Sign because your Rising Sign is the part of yourself that you share with others).
If Gemini is part of your Big 3, you can use the stones suggested below to enhance or balance its energy. Sunstone can always be used in place of a Sun Sign Stone (or you can use any of the Gemini crystals listed at the beginning of this article), and Moonstone can be substituted in place of a Moon Sign Stone.
- Stone for Gemini as Your Sun Sign: Chrysocolla or Citrine
- Stone for Gemini as Your Moon Sign: Clear Apophyllite or Blue Sapphire
- Stone for Gemini as Your Rising Sign: Red Jasper or Green Fluorite
Working with Crystals for Your Big 3:
To work with your 3 Astrological Crystals (Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs), you can craft a crystal energy pouch with corresponding crystals and symbols.
Starting with your Sun Sign, write out the name of your sign and draw its symbol on a small scrap of paper (you may even want to draw the symbol of its ruling planet for a boost of energy). These symbols will charge up your crystal with the energy of your Sun sign. Place this paper along with your Sun Sign Stone into the pouch. As you place the stone and paper into the bag, think about what energy your Sun Sign represents and brings into your life.
Next, write out the name of your Moon sign and draw its symbol on another small piece of paper. Place this paper along with your Moon Sign Stone into the pouch. As you place the stone and paper into the bag, think about what energy your Moon Sign represents and brings into your life.
Finally, write out the name of your Rising sign and draw its symbol on the last small piece of paper. Place this paper along with your Rising Sign Stone into the pouch. As you place the stone and paper into the bag, think about what energy your Rising Sign represents and brings into your life.
After adding all the stones to the pouch, focus your intention on strengthening your positive traits and balancing the negative aspects of your unique astrological blueprint.
