the crystals of the mansions

Crystals and Stones of the Mansions of the Moon

 

The Mansions are 28 Divisions of the Zodiac and as such have the influence of the elements based on their location in the Zodiac.  Each of the 12 Sun signs in the Zodiac has a particular elemental energy.  Any Mansion that is contained within a sun sign obviously has the same elemental energy as the sun sign of that area of the sky.  But several of the Mansions bridge portions of the Zodiac between sun signs.  These Mansions have more than one elemental energy.  Thus there are more stones and crystals with an affinity for those Mansions.

NOTE:  This listing is not intended to be all inclusive or “cast in stone”. The study of the Mansions and the influence of the Moon’s travels is an evolving one.  We do have some preliminary correspondences.  As we study, we learn more, so expect to see changes and additions to this listing over time.   In general the crystals that align with the Mansions do so based on their color energy as it relates to the four prime elements:  Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Several colors are aligned with more than one element. This is due to the variety of cultures that have contributed to the study.  Please understand there are no definitive answers here. Rather there is an on-going study of the crystal energies and how they align with the Moon’s influences as it travels the Zodiac.  Also be aware that every crystal is different.  You may well find crystals that have a strong affinity for a particular Mansion. That is to be expected in the amazing world of crystal energy. 

Use this listing to begin your journey in exploring the wonders of using crystal energy and Moon energy to bring magic to your life and spirit.

Attractors

Attractor Crystals – from the Tetragonal Crystal System

attractor symbolAttractors have an internal structure built on the rectangle that often manifests itself by producing minerals with a surface sheen that seems to catch your eye and attract you to the crystal or even the rough mineral specimen. These crystals like Zircon stand out and are noticed by the play of light over their surface. These crystals are perfect when your purpose is to attract someone or something to you.

attractors work like magnet Attractors help you focus on being attractive so that what you are seeking will actually seek you. Gaining recognition, winning friends, or attracting wealth are all needs that Attractors can help you fulfill. Used in conjunction with Seekers, the Attractor talismans can provide you with very potent and focused energy.

Be aware however, that the Attractors seem to have a passive energy, like a magnet. When nothing is around to attract, the energy of a magnet seems to be gone. It is only energized when something is around to attract. Then suddenly a magnet’s power is apparent. So too, the Attractors seem to have a waiting element to their energy. If nothing comes along the Attractor doesn’t seem to have much power. That is why they are used with Seekers. The Seekers help us get out and find what we need. Then the Attractors power can be applied. Avoid reliance on Attractors alone. You might someday get what you desire, but it could be a very long wait.

Dispellers

Dispeller crystals help you rid yourself of undesired elements of your life

dispeller imageShop for Dispeller Crystals

 

Sometimes in your life you need to rid yourself of things you have but no longer want. You want to get rid of pains, sickness, worry, and a host of unpleasant feelings.  For these needs, the Dispeller talismans that form in the orthorhombic system are needed. These “diamond shape” internal crystal arrangements are similar to the cubic system, but have one elongated axis.  They often appear as multiple diamond shaped crystals like a multitude of arrowheads or pyramids – the diamond shape of their crystal lattice acts like a radiator, with sharp points from which the energy can flow easily outward. This outward flow of energy can carry with it the undesirable elements in your life.

be gonePhysically, Dispellers are a good choice when you wish to rid your life of pain, discomfort, injury, illness, or disease. However a note of caution is needed. Remember, crystals have the ability to focus and magnify your power. They are not magic rocks. Seek professional medical advice for physical ailments.

Dispellers are very helpful talismans for mental and spiritual problems. All of us have problems. Some are physical, some spiritual. Certainly our lives would be more enjoyable and more productive if we could rid ourselves of them. Worry, anxiety, fear, and doubt can literally cripple us and make our lives miserable.  Again, for serious mental disorders, the care of a licensed professional is required.

The Dispellers are also known as the Restorers. These crystals are used to put things back right again after they are out of balance. If you were happy, then became plagued by doubt, these crystals help you to focus and magnify your energy to rid yourself of the doubt and restore your happiness. If you had a great job, then lost it for some reason, these crystals and minerals can help you restore your life as a productive member of the working community.

Barriers

Barriers protect from the undesirable elements of life

Shop for Barrier Crystals

barrier symbolWith the inner form of a trapezium, a structure with no right angles, a triclinic crystalline structure gives a crystal strength in all directions allowing it to providing barriers to attack from all directions simultaneously. These Barrier crystals are very effective amulets for defending yourself from the misfortunes of this world.

It can be a dangerous world. Disease, war, famine, heartbreak, accidents, and misfortunes of all kinds can await us. Ships founder, cars crash, the flu spreads. The Barrier crystals are useful when you want to protect yourself from such misadventures. They can aid you in your efforts to prevent mishaps and keep away from harm. The minerals that form in the triclinic, Barrier crystal structure are the true protection crystals.

keep things outThe Barrier crystals are similar to Guardian crystals; the difference is the focus. The Guardians are crystals that help you focus on protecting something you value – an inward focus in a way.  In contrast, the Barrier crystals are externally focused – on keeping specific undesirable environments away. Many efforts can be successful using either type of talisman. We can use a Guardian crystal to guard our health, or a specific Barrier crystal to keep a particular disease away. The choice is an individual one that mostly depends on the focus of a specific need or desire. Often these crystals are used together.

However, even alone, the Barrier crystals have incredible abilities to help us focus and amplify our efforts to keep undesirable elements out of our lives. One particularly powerful Barrier, Turquoise, has a long history of success as a protective talisman. The Native American culture has long recognized the power of this mineral and still uses it extensively to protect themselves and their way of life.

Guardians

Guardians – protecting you, your family, and your dreams

Shop for Guardian Crystals

guardian crystal symbolWhen you have something you want to protect use a crystal that forms in the monoclinic system.  These Guardian crystals have an internal structure that is composed of parallelograms. The parallel structure of their crystalline lattice gives these crystals their power to protect us in the physical world and in the spiritual one. The Guardian talismans do not reveal their inner strength. These stones rarely, if ever, form transparent crystals. Rather, they hide their strength behind an opaque mask, obscuring the power they possess.

In the physical world they are excellent aids in protecting your loved ones, your possessions, and your physical security. They are very useful in protecting houses and homes, property, and valuables. If you have prized possessions you want to guard and protect, use a Guardian crystal. They are also useful for travelers and adventures to take with them on their travels as insurance against harm. They are useful for emergency workers, soldiers, sailors, and airmen in the performance of their dangerous duties.

In the spiritual world, the Guardian crystals have several special uses. They first serve to guard your beliefs against doubt. Everyone at some point begins to doubt some of his or her most cherished beliefs. That doubt can grow and affect our lives. A Guardian crystal can help you keep true to your ideals and beliefs. The Guardian crystals can also protect your spirits. If you anticipate a trying and difficult, even stressful future, a Guardian can be very effecting in aiding your efforts to maintain your disposition, sense of humor, and respect for others.

The minerals that form in this monoclinic system are also known as the Dreamholders. They often appear to have a hazy surface as if there is something veiled from our sight just beneath the surface. This is best observed in the Moonstone. This stone, being a Dreamholder, is a particularly powerful mineral when used to aid you in focusing your energy to hold onto your dreams.

Enhancers

Crystals that Enhance your Life, Relationships, and Abilities

Enhancer symbolShop for Enhancer Crystals

Enhancers are minerals and crystals that form in the Isometric crystal system.  They have internal crystal lattices of perfect cubic symmetry and internal harmony. They form perfect building blocks internally.  Often this internal structure of equality and perfect right angles produces crystals of equally perfect external shapes: cubes!

These are the “building block” crystals. Their internal structure of blocks builds up perfect crystal lattices that can help us focus our efforts to build on our successes and enhance our lives. Whereas the Seeker system produces crystals and minerals that aid in new beginnings, the Enhancers of the isometric system aid us in building on our successes and achievements.

building blocks of successMany of these crystals are used for self-improvement. Both physically and mentally, we all seem to be trying to get better at something. We want to be able to run faster, jump higher, shoot more accurately, serve a tennis ball faster, or just jog all the way to the corner.  We want to be more patient, kinder, or just learn to be more attentive.  When its “more of something” you want use a Enhancer crystal in your efforts to get it.

This crystal system, with its internal structure so perfectly arranged, also holds the energy we need to help us arrange our life in a more orderly manner. This crystal order produces excellent talismans of order, rule, law, constancy, higher ideals, patterns, simple connections, fitting in a social order, linking, learning, growing consistently, and acting logically.

Seekers

Seekers help you find that which you desire, yet lack

Shop for Seeker Crystals

seeker symbolSeekers are minerals that form in the Hexagonal crystal system. These minerals form with their molecules arranged in triangular structures, nature’s simplest form that looks like an arrowhead. The minerals of the Hexagonal crystal system often form crystals with an external shape that mirror their internal arrangement; appearing like an arrow or pointer.

With this alignment of the visible external structure and the internal one providing directions and focus, these crystals and minerals are powerful aids when we desire to acquire that which we do not yet possess. These crystals’ energy structure will focus and multiply your desires and efforts to point to a path to that which you seek.

Seekers gain power from their triangular arrangement of moloculesThe Seekers are powerful, numerous, and very useful crystals that will help you be successful in starting a new effort. The Seeker crystals help you to discover new opportunities and to achieve new goals. These are the fresh start crystals; the crystals of new beginnings and new discoveries. These are the crystals of the scientist, the adventurer, the hunter, the wanderer, and the explorer. They are also the crystals of the student and the researcher.

Seeker crystals are pointers, directors, and compasses. They help you align your feelings for new beginnings into thoughts that are focused on discovery. Those thoughts lead to actions that result in the discovery of the new approaches, new angles, and new beginnings you seek. Those actions, as they become habits, develop into a new life.

Seeker crystals are probably the most popular type of crystal. When you need help to find new relationships, new love, new capabilities, new experiences, or new ways of living, Seekers give you the needed ability to focus and amplify your abilities to seek out the new elements you desire. Seekers contain the crystal energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind to find your way to new horizons and new capabilities.

As a note, some mineral texts split out the Trigonal system, but modern systems place it as a subsystem of the hexagonal. Both are Seekers with their molecules arranged in triangles.

Filters

Crystals that promote optimism and filter out negative energy

Shop Filter Crystals

filter symbolFilter crystals are framework silicates. formed by three-dimensional grids of tetrahedrons of silicates that very much look and act like a filter. They absorb certain things and allow others to pass. They filter energy, allowing positive charges to flow and blocking negative ones when properly used and aligned. The feldspars are common Filters, and they have a wide variety of crystal applications.

Filters are similar to Buffers, but have a more specific use. The Buffers are general use crystals used when the need is to achieve balance in life by buffering pressures. The Filters, on the other hand, are used to keep negative energy away from us. When we want help to see the best in others, to give others the benefit of the doubt, to see the good side of something, we need a Filter. It is too easy in life to see the glass half empty, the child as a poor student, or the spouse as a slob. Filters help us see the glass half full, the child as a loving, well-meaning young lady, and the spouse as an excellent provider, devoted to his family.

filter photoThe Filters are a fairly widespread and abundant group of minerals. Nature seems to find it necessary to make them readily available. This is fortuitous. Their positive energy is important to all of us. We all need help seeing the beauty in life, the good in humanity, and the glory that is the natural Earth.

Many efforts to gain what we lack depend on a constant positive outlook and an ability to see the goodness in life. The Filters, particularly the ones with the crystal energy of Seekers and Enhancers, are excellent crystals for a wide variety of efforts.

Lapis lazuli, sodalite, and stilbite in particular are Enhancers with the earth power of Filters. These crystals are excellent for improving everyone’s life by giving them more of a positive outlook and enabling them to appreciate the bounty of this Earth. When found in a light blue color, lapis lazuli is a superb crystal for finding peace and calmness through acceptance and enjoyment of the earth’s bounty.

bonder imageBonders are called sheet silicates by scientists. These crystals are formed when silicate tetrahedrons connect in sheets, producing very cohesive minerals. They are very tough to cut.

men bondingBonders are outstanding crystals to use when there is need to create something that is bound tightly. Like glue bonding wooden planks together, Bonder crystals are useful in cementing relationships and agreements. They help hold things together. Serpentine is the best-known example. Biotite and lepidolite are less known, but they are powerful crystals of this class.

Bonder crystals are particularly well suited to efforts that involve getting a consensus, working out difficulties caused by differing points of view, and negotiating.

The Bonders’ power is to get people working together. They help you form relationships that get better with age. Bonders help make contracts work out in the long term by ensuring that they are based on clear understandings, and that each party is a beneficiary of the contract.
