Water Element Healing Crystals

Water Energy Crystals

When we work with water energy crystals, we are encouraging ourselves to become more adaptable and flexible in our thinking.  Water energy crystals are fantastic tools to help us get in touch with our emotions and intuition.  They can also help us to process our most difficult emotions and to cultivate peace and harmony.  Water is a necessary ingredient for growth and wellbeing.  If you want to see something become healthy, give it a little water and see how it immediately perks up!  Water energy crystals remind us to stay hydrated and to keep accessing the energy that helps us to thrive.

Water energy can be still and deep, or flowing and ever-changing.  Water energy can be peaceful or stormy too.  Crystals linked to water energy provide a little bit of water magic that we can hold in our hand as we navigate the seas of life.

The element of water is an important part of spirituality in many cultures and religions.  Water is often used for ritual cleansing and purification, and is a symbol of renewal and rebirth.  Water energy is often linked to feminine energy, emotions, and intuition.  Water energy crystals have these same qualities.

Water Energy and the Western Zodiac

The element of water is tied to the Western astrological signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. These zodiac signs tend to feel emotions very deeply and have a strong intuition.  Water signs need crystals that enhance their natural gifts.  The goal is to feel the emotions, but not to be overwhelmed by them! Likewise, we want to have a strong intuition that is accurate rather than just wishful thinking.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) can also benefit from water energy.  Air Signs are very intelligent, but sometimes they need help to actively develop emotional intelligence.  Water element crystals can help air signs connect to their own heart and to more deeply connect with others.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) need the nourishing energy of water.  Earth signs are wise and practical, but can sometimes be a little harsh.  Water element crystals can help earth signs shift into balance: wise and kind, practical and understanding.

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) can use water energy to cool and calm.  Fire signs are passionate and intense, but sometimes they burn too hot or burnout.  Water element crystals can help fire signs to slow down and think and process carefully, rather than just instinctively reacting.

Water Signs and the Chinese Zodiac

Each of the Chinese zodiac signs cycles through the element of water.  If your lunar birth year ends in a 2 or 3 you are most likely a Water Sign.  For example, if you were born in 1982, you are a Water Dog and if you were born in 1993, you are a Water Rooster.  It takes 60 years for the pattern to repeat, so for example, 1963 and 2023 are both the year of the Water Rabbit.

People with water signs have natural gifts of adaptability and empathy, and working with water energy crystals increases those gifts. Water signs can be prone to anxiety or to feeling indecisive.  Water energy crystals provide a calm steady vibration to sooth the spirt and they help us to trust our feelings about which decision is going to be best.

Water Element in Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, the element of water is connected to the color black, as well as wave shapes, the direction of north, and the season of winter.  Fountains and aquariums are ideal decorations to evoke this element, as well as pictures of water or dynamic abstract paintings with flowing dark colors.  Water energy crystals, especially ones with a black, dark blue, or dark purple color are also beautiful symbols to evoke water energy.
