Capricorn Garnet

By her who in January was born
No gem save garnets shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.

Why is the garnet the stone or gem for the zodiac sign Capricorn? Was it just a way for the Jewelers of America to bring business in during the cold winter months?

Tiffany & Co created these poems in the early 1800’s but the truth is that cultures have been using stones for ceremonies, important dates, and medicine for years. The bible talks about these stones being used on breastplates and as cornerstones of new buildings.

So why the garnet? It’s said that garnets are connected with the blood stream. The stone is also used to protect the wearer from nightmares and offer guidance. Garnets are long lasting durable stones.

Can you see why the garnet would be associated with the zodiac sign Capricorn? Are they not fierce, long lasting, and durable friends who just seem to be grounded. What better person to give advice than someone who is grounded and stable.

I hope that you liked this information about the zodiac sign and the Capricorn garnet. I’ll be back later to talk about the other zodiac stones and post a few astrology natal charts.

Till then be blessed during your day.
