Because garnet is less commonly recognized as a family of gems as opposed to a single stone, much of the modern symbolism surrounding it pertain in large to the red versions of garnet. The garnet family of semiprecious stones encompasses a variety of colors with the exception of blue. The name garnet comes from the Latin word for seed or grain: "granatus." Such a name was given to the red garnet for it's close resemblance of a pomegranate seed. The pomegranate is occasionally referenced in Greek Myth as a gift of love that is continually inviting (see mythology of garnet) garnet is still associate with and symbolic of the seeds of a pomegranate. Garnet also remains a symbolic gift of love for the eighteenth anniversary of marriage. It is also a gift for two-year anniversaries.

Additionally garnet has also been recognized as an alternative birthstone for the month of November. People who are born in January and associated with garnet often have a tendency towards being energetic (when motivated), deep down sincere, and can be devoted if they are self-driven to do so. As a birthstone, garnet is a protective and guiding gem. 

Garnet and Astrological Signs (Zodiac)
Garnet possess characteristics that are highly coveted by particular star signs. The garnet stone is a companion, charm and alternative for various zodiac signs. Because of it's affiliation with January and the alignment of planetary figures during this time, it is also the counter part for Aquarius (January 20 - February 18). For the same reason of affiliation, garnet is recognized  as a birthstone and charm for those who fall under the sign of Capricorn (January 20 - February 18). It is very much a crucial stone for these two signs in Western Astrology. Garnet's relation with other zodiac signs is as a lucky charm. For Leo (July 22 - August 22), Gemini (May 21 - June 21) and Virgo (August 22 - September 22) garnet serves as a lucky charm and a object of fortunate kismet. It is also noted as a celestial gem for Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) and Aries (March 21 - April 20). Garnet is the stone ruled by Saturn and is often associated as a companion for Mars. In Hindu Astrology, garnet is reminiscent of the north node of the moon, also known as Rahu: a celestial body similar to Saturn that is also governed by Aquarius which is, in turn, presided over by Lord Shiva god of chaos and one within the trinity.
