Amethyst and
Astrological Symbols and Signs (Zodiac)
Amethyst, along with other gems,
has served as both a birthstone and a lucky charm to those who follow
the star signs and spirit guide. It prevails as the birthstone for
Sagittarius (November 22- December 21) along with sapphire. Sagittarius
has always been known as a free spirit and can be, at times, wild yet
always wanting to explore. Amethyst is Sagittarius' aide in the search
for new unexplored territories and also helps to pacify the wild ways
when they get out of hand. Amethyst has also been accredited as a
birthstone for Aquarius (January 20- February 18) due to its traditional
standing as February's birthstone. Those who fall under Aquarius are
typically very "humanly" with a goal to always understand and
amethyst guides those of this sign to opening up to that which is
mystical, psychic, supernatural and beyond knowledge. By the same reason
of its traditional standing as February's birthstone, amethyst is also
accredited as a birthstone for Pisces (February 19- March 20), but it is
more commonly recognized as Pisces' lucky charm. Pisces embraces
amethyst because of their tendency to skip from one level to the next
and to go from one extreme to the other without any type of transition
and amethyst, being a great crystal of easing and soothing transition,
is the perfect charm.
Amethyst as a Birthstone
Within the mystical New Age movement and within popular culture,
amethyst birthstone is recognized as the birthstone for February. This
association has also carried over into Modern, Traditional, Hindu
Astrology, and Ayurvedic systems of birthstone and month classification.
Purple Amethyst, adorned as jewelry (necklaces, rings, earrings,
bracelets, etc.) or carried in stone or crystal form, has been known to
bring tranquility and stability to its wearer. It has also been known to
possess great healing powers.
Amethyst Day, Hour and
Color
It is a little known fact that
amethyst is related to a specific day, time and to color. This purple
stone is the official crystal or gem for Wednesday. It has also been
known as the gem most representative of the 8:00 am hour. The color
amethyst represents is the color purple, which is also the color for
February. They have been mining it and metallics for this purpose for
centuries.
Amethyst and Religious
Association
In religion, Amethyst is also an
affiliate of one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, one of the Twelve
Apostles and one of the Angels. Because man has been mining Amethyst for
a very long time, the classification of Tribal stones has been
translated and the stones represented have been appointed through their
modern name. The Tribe that is linked to amethyst is the tribe of Dan.
The stone was said to be proclaimed stone of the families that
flourished from this tribe. The Apostle Matthias and the Guardian Angel
Adnachiel spirit are also coupled with and symbolized by amethyst.
