Top 3 Crystals for Taurus Season:
Obsidianite: This stone is the perfect crystal companion for the nurturing energy of Taurus season. It supports those who are healing a broken heart or who are working through their grief, but it can also be useful for those who grieving lost parts of themselves. If you have been neglecting yourself, or if you frequently address the needs of others at the expense of yourself, Obsidianite can help you reclaim your self-care practice.
Pink Opal: This common Opal (meaning it’s a potch Opal that lacks any sparkle or fire) is useful for instilling compassion and empathy. If you don’t feel deserving of love or struggle with prioritizing self-care, reach for a Pink Opal. This stone helps take action rooted in compassion (for others and yourself).
Rose Quartz: Rose Quartz is connected to Taurus’ ruling planet, Venus, and it exudes love. This stone helps remind you to nurture yourself. Taurus season is a great time to get in the habit of adding a few extra minutes to your morning routine for something to nurture yourself. So, even when you feel rushed or like other things feel more important, make an effort to make yourself a cup of herbal tea, spend some creative time painting or writing, or make some time for a stroll outside or to do some gardening to nourish your spirit.
Best Crystals for Taurus’ Ruling Planet (Venus):
Each sign of the Zodiac is represented, or ruled, by a planet. This Ruling Planet is the planet that is held to have a particular influence over its corresponding sign of the zodiac, house, aspect of life, etc. Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and is associated with arrogance, the arts and creativity, beauty (both inner and outer), emotions and feelings, etiquette, harmony, kindness, love, lust, positivity, romance, selfishness, and sexuality. The following stones correspond to the energy of Venus:
- Green Aventurine
- Chrysoprase
- White Diamond
- Emerald
- Morganite
- Herkimer Diamond Quartz
- Rose Quartz

Taurus Season Crystal Ritual & Meditation:
Ritual Overview:
- Draw a warm bath.
- Place a few tumbled Rose Quartz stones in the water.
- Charge the water with crystal energy from the stones through visualization.
- Use the crystal-charged water to bathe yourself and enhance self-love.
Ritual Supplies:
- A bathtub or shower
- Candle or incense (optional)
- 1-7 Rose Quartz tumbled stones
If you find yourself struggling with self-love this Taurus season, take some time to try this simple crystal ritual. At any time during Taurus season, draw yourself a hot bath and be sure you won’t be disturbed. Add a few tumbled Rose Quartz stones to the bathwater as well as two or three tablespoons of dried Chamomile flowers (as long as you’re not allergic). You may also wish to light some candles or incense in your favorite fragrance to add some ambiance to the space (be sure to use a fireproof container and keep this where you can monitor it – never leave an open flame unattended).
Next, gently ease yourself into the bath. Sitting comfortably, hold your hands just above the bath water with your palms facing downward. Then, visualize a pink light moving from your heart, down your arms, out through the palms of your hands, and into the water. Visualize the water glowing pink, filling the water with the energy of love, and see the Rose Quartz stones filled with pink light. See the stones glowing very brightly, charging the water with love and healing.
Open your eyes, and gently bathe your body in the energy-infused water. Feel the energy of love pouring over your body like gentle waves as the water touches your skin. Remain in this healing bath as long as you’d like. You can repeat this exercise as often as is needed throughout Taurus season. You can also adapt this exercise for the shower rather than a bathtub by holding a small, tumbled Rose Quartz stone in your hand and gently rubbing it over your body while showering.
Crystals for Taurus in Your Chart:
In addition to working with crystals during Taurus season, you may also want to work with the following stones if you have Taurus 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 Taurus 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 Taurus crystals listed at the beginning of this article), and Moonstone can be substituted in place of a Moon Sign Stone.
- Stone for Taurus as Your Sun Sign: Amber or Green Aventurine
- Stone for Taurus as Your Moon Sign: Angel Wing Selenite or Fuchsite
- Stone for Taurus as Your Rising Sign: Green Kyanite or Serpentine
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.
