Avoid These Unlucky Gemstones Based on Your Zodiac Sign

These bright beauties are not just beautiful accessories, they are deeply steeped in astrological significance. Some gems may complement your power, whereas others may stir the pot and muck up your energy and block your path. The right stone can bring harmony and balance while the wrong one can bring in negativity. So, before you put on that dazzling rock, see if it matches your zodiac sign. Here’s how to steer clear of those unlucky gemstones, according to astrology.



Aries, you like it hot, fast and always-moving. However, Opal or Lapis Lazuli can dim your flame, making you less patient and more rash. These stones are capable of uncovering rotten petty conflicts and imparting too much impulsiveness, that might allow your natural drive to become wild restlessness.

You, as a Taurus, desire stability and security. But Topaz and Aquamarine may do things differently than you would — bringing indecisiveness and disturbing your peace. These stones can bring mental fog and stress, and cause you to second guess yourself on even the easiest decisions.



Gemini, your mind races at twice the speed of light and you thrive on variety. But Emerald and Quartz could spread your thoughts even more, leading to confusion and overwhelm. These stones will not make your mind more sharper but will instead leave you confused and tired.

You, sweet Cancer, are so sensitive and intuitive. As you live in feelings, wearing Tiger’s Eye or Turquoise may shift the scales and leave you over-sensitive and sensitive. These stones can heighten emotional extremes and can leave you exhausted and out of alignment with your authentic self.



Lions have an inborn inclination to shine brighter than the sun and draw people's focus. But their magical glow may be eclipsed by Lapis Lazuli and Turquoise, which can veil your aura in self-doubt and feeling insecure. These stones can dim your natural charisma, and you feel less like the bold leader that you are.

(“Virgo loves structure and organization and control.”) But Aquamarine and Emerald might throw something of a monkey wrench in your carefully ordered world. These little gems get in the way of focus, making it difficult to maintain routines and get things done efficiently.



Libras, you’re all about balance, but Ruby and Aquamarine might tip that by throwing you off. These stones could fog up your insight and cause a ruckus when it comes to decision-making. Far from bringing you peace, they’ll probably result in frustration and discontent.

Scorpio, you’re strong, passionate, and ambitious. But Emerald and Agate could fray your focus and determination, causing needless distractions. This gem could cause you to become hesitant where you normally (and adroitly) act, these walks might inebriate your ever-invested pursuits of winning.



Sagittarius, you’re the explorer, always seeking the adventure. But Agate, Pearls, and Tiger’s Eye can have the opposite effect and weigh you down, leaving you feeling emotionally heavy and unfulfilled. Instead of inspiring hope, these stones may leave you feeling stuck.

Capricorns are disciplined and long-term goal-oriented, but Pearls and Aquamarine may breed emotional distractions. These stones may leave you feeling overwhelmed and sentimental, distracting you from your ambitions.



Aquarius, you are all about innovation and independence. But emotional chaos come from Amber and Topaz, that can make you less mastered of your thoughts. These stones have the ability to cloud your forward-looking mind and can inhibit the expression of ideas.

Pisces, you’re idealistic, empathetic and highly attuned to feelings. But Ruby could rattle that foundation, inducing superfluous drama and emotional volatility. This is a stone that can enhance all of your emotions to the point where it may be difficult to remain grounded.


Selecting the gemstone isn’t only about looks; it’s about energy. Wearing either wrong one might invite some struggles you’d rather avoid. Feeling off for some time now? Your gemstone could be to blame! Listen to your instinct, and when in doubt consult an astrologer to ensure the gem you choose works to enhance your strengths rather than against them.
