Find Your Birthstone by Month, Astrological Sign and Day of the Week

The fascination with birthstone seems endless, especially because there are so many ways you can define one's birthstone! They also make excellent gifts when you are lost for ideas, so let's explore the wonder of birthstones.

Different Methods

You probably already know that can find someone's birthstone by looking at his or her month of birth or astrological sign. This is the most popular, or widely known way of finding a birthstone. Did you know, though, that you can also find your birthstone by the day of the week, as well as the year of birth? Even if you just look at the month, you will see that there is more than one birthstone assigned, because in the world of crystals and stones energies are shared freely, so you can find many similarities in color and overall energy signature between different gemstones. 

How can you decide on just one birthstone when you can actually have five or seven of them? The best way to go is to first understand the qualities of your birthstones and see what they all have in common. Next, take a trip to a good jewelry store or a crystal shop and experience their energy for yourself. Pay attention to the look and feel of your birthstones. Is there a specific gemstone that feels really attractive to you? Hopefully, the one you really like also fits in your budget!

Understand that there are really no strict rules when it comes to choosing yours or someone else's birthstone because we are very complex beings defined by many more factors than just our birth info. So, approach the information below with a playful, open attitude and allow it to be the beginning of a fascinating exploration of the world of crystals and stones! Many of them are inexpensive, and a pleasure to have around; they also create really good feng shui in your home or office.

Birthstones by Day of the Week

Along with the traditional birthstone by month, there are birthstones by the day of the week you were born! So, you can choose your birthstone according to the day of the week you were born; and you can also choose a stone to wear according to the specific energy of the day.

The energy of the day is usually defined, astrologically, by its ruling planet. To be in harmony with a specific day (especially if it is an important day for you!), you can choose to wear the gemstone that reflects its energy even if this is not your birthstone.

Overall, treat crystals and stones as good friends, and know that different crystals can help you in different ways on various occasions. 

Day of the Week	Ruling Planet	Birthstone
Monday	Moon	Pearl  Clear quartz  Moonstone
Tuesday	Mars	Ruby Garnet Emerald
Wednesday	Mercury	Amethyst Lodestone Cat's eye
Thursday	Jupiter	Carnelian Emerald Sapphire

How do you decide which birthstone is actually the right one? Well, they are all right to a certain extent, and you can always combine several birthstones in your jewelry. You can also choose to wear different stones on different days or in different life situations.

You can never really go wrong with your choice of crystals and stones as they bring the healing energy of Earth.
