Rose quartz and Taurus go hand-in-hand. This pink gem vibrates with a soothing and gentle energy that is comforting during times of emotional pain and stress. It’s a beautiful crystal to work with the heart chakra, encouraging inner healing and deep feelings of peace. 

 

Rose quartz is the go-to crystal for those who want to work on unconditional love, but it’s also great for increasing self-love. Another affirmation stone like unakite, whisper your deepest desires to it at night and wake up repeating the affirmation that you have received them.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, as is Libra. Taurus, an earth sign deals with the physical side of Venus. Beautiful clothes, food and beauty treatments that ground you and connect you to the earth are all ruled by this sign. Libra, an air sign, deals more with the loveliness that you cannot hold in your hands, for example the feeling you get when in love and relationships.

Rose quartz actually has a very grounding vibration, even though it focuses on the heart chakra. It’s great for tolerance and soothing anxiety around others. This is why rose quartz is such a lovely crystal for Taurus.

Having said that, gentle rose quartz is definitely not a crystal that’s going to pick you up and boost your energy so pair it with something energising like citrine if you want to bring a bit of spark to your vibe.

Rose quartz is great for friendship as it’s said to help people to be themselves by boosting self esteem. Compassion, trust and harmony are all values associated with rose quartz. Gift a piece to someone close to you or keep with you when visiting friends.

 

 

 

Waterfall of plenty  – a meditation to work with the energy of rose quartz for the Taurus lunar eclipse.

 

 

Taking a shower while practising this meditation can help you connect to the energy of love.

 

Light a candle for this meditation, and either run a warm shower or sit in a comfortable position with the rose quartz crystal in your right hand, or around your neck, resting at the heart chakra.

 

As you focus on the breath, visualise a pink waterfall pouring warm, comforting energy over you.

As this energy of abundance absorbs into your physical body, imagine your heart overflowing with it, washing away any negativity.

Continue to breathe as you feel the energy move around the body.

On each out-breath, release what you no longer need.

On each breath in, allow this new vibration to align you with your desires.

When you are ready, bring your attention back to the present moment and repeat the mantra, I am love.

For a gentle reminder you can write this mantra on your mirror in the steam or using a makeup pencil. Repeat this mantra daily.
