Gemstones for Capricorn

The signs of the Zodiac can be traced back to early civilizations such as the Babylonians, Egyptians and Greeks. As they stared at the movements of the stars and planets in the night skies, the early astronomers and astrologers noticed repeating patterns seemed to coincide with seasonal changes and annual floods as well as other natural phenomenon.

This led to scientific progress but also evolved into predictions and fortune telling, initially for royalty and the powerful but then to us all based on our dates of birth. Even today, many people consult their daily horoscope before reading the news or checking the sports results.

According to research, a third of all female horoscope readers will check their stars before job interviews, beginning a new relationship or buying a lottery ticket.

Don’t forget the old adage, ‘Astra inclinant non necessitant’ - the stars suggest, but they don’t force…

Over time, the signs of the zodiac have been linked to various myths, animals, colors, elements and gemstones. This was once a way of remembering the positions of constellations and how this could predict the coming of the rains or the planting times.

Now they provide an extra connection to the star signs. We have selected two great gemstones to symbolize Capricorn - Ruby and Lapis Lazuli.
