5 Crystals for the Year of the Fire Horse

Enter the year of the Fire Horse!  Do you feel the energy of the combination- fire and horse? Bold, passionate, free, forward- moving, intuitive, and charismatic are just a few descriptors for this next Zodiac year. 

​We left the year of the snake behind. Perhaps you experienced the uncomfortable shedding of the things that no longer served you.  You are now ready to move forward into what’s next in life, love, and career. 

​This year comes with an intensity that might be overbearing for some, and so crystals can help support you with this time.  Because crystals have a steady energy and our body recognizes their energy, they can be our silent supporters, helping us step forth boldly. Yes, they support all of our systems. 

​Carnelian looks like the embers of fire in a stone. It is known as a stone of courage, and to step out boldly into what’s next takes courage. This sacral chakra stone connects you to your emotions, passions, and the flow of what is and what’s coming.  Additionally, it provides balance, helping you avoid rushing too quickly. For some, forward movement can seem like buckshot- scattered. Carnelian helps with focus and purpose- a more targeted direction. Additionally, carnelian can help you stoke passion and creativity for projects that have lain dormant or ideas that have been percolating below the surface. 

​Garnet creates a steadiness to support the forward movement of the fire horse. Instead of a short-term burst of energy, the vibration of garnet can help sustain the energy for your projects and intentions. Garnet is strongly associated with the stability and safety of the base chakra. In combination with carnelian’s support of passion, it helps provide a steadiness that’s needed for longevity.  It is a crystal of emotional resilience.  If moving forward has you feeling unsteady like a newborn foal, garnet will help fortify you. And if anger is the force driving this forward movement, garnet can help transform it into determination.  Rather than fuel the anger, transform it into forward motion.  As you shed last year with the snake, you might have unearthed your soul’s passion, and garnet helps you to remain loyal to that path. 

Sunstone enhances joy, healthy independence, and leadership. The mixture of sacral and solar plexus chakras of the fire horse year. It’s a crystal that helps you set healthy boundaries as you move forward with all the projects.  Healthy boundaries are a must so that the excitement of forward movement doesn’t pull you in too many directions, leaving you to sideline self-care. Sunstone supports self-worth as you unveil your soul’s path and projects. Visibility can be uncomfortable for some, but the fire horse begs to be seen, and sunstone can be a bolster. Sunstone helps you walk the line of radiant confidence and ego.   

Black Tourmaline supports grounding in this year of fire!  An unchecked fire can feel as though it’s running amok.  Black tourmaline can help alleviate feelings of overwhelm and energetic overstimulation. If you are someone who thrives in the realm of creation, and that’s paired with the energy of the fire horse, it can feel like energy is bowling you over.  This root chakra crystal can help you ground and steady your energy. If you desire moving from reaction to calm support, you have a crystal that can be your partner. Use black tourmaline to connect with your energy- your sovereign energy- and block any energy that is not yours. 

Amethyst will help you connect with a higher perspective of the third eye chakra.  You have the ideas and the energy, use amethyst to connect to the reflective stage of the next right step.  Your next stage of growth can be filled with frisky energy just like a yearling.  Amethyst helps reduce impulsive decision-making as you put your vision out into the world.  With its reflective energy, it encourages thought and helps soothe heightened emotions.  Amethyst also helps deepen intuition and connection with higher guidance.  If the fire of a new plan is mesmerizing and you are forgetting your true north, utilize Amethyst to help you connect with your inner wisdom.
