Aries is the very first and most springtime sign of the zodiac. And the stones suitable for this sign, like the season in which Aries is born, are sunny, bright and punchy.
Born in March, Aries are truly light and changeable. People of this sign are bright, but fickle, they strive for diversity and comprehension, therefore they often commit frivolous actions, while remaining true to their beliefs and views. Heavy semiprecious stones for such persons are not of rank.
Aries stones are conventionally divided into two groups: strengthening and softening.
Power stones
Stones that enhance certain human qualities include stones of various shades of yellow and red, for example, rubies. They are believed to stimulate creative impulses, power and brilliance. If rubies are worn by people of high social standing or leading a large organization, the stones will give them tremendous energy that the leader can transfer to his subordinates. But keep in mind that ruby enhances ambition, so be careful when choosing jewelry.
According to ancient Indian beliefs, the ruby gives its owner the fearlessness of an eagle, the strength of a lion and the wisdom of a snake. The extraordinary properties of the stone are explained by its red color, associated with the color of blood or fire. There are many beliefs associated with this stone that explain the qualities characteristic of the people who own it. So, for example, the Hindus divided their society into four castes, and each of them had its own ruby with different characteristics.
The ruby-Brahman was attributed to the first caste. It was believed that he awakens energy in a person and gives his owner almost complete security. The owners of the stone tried in every possible way to protect it, putting on a ruby ring with another was unimaginable, since interaction with the "lower types" of jewelry could reduce the effectiveness of the magic talisman.
The kshatriya ruby corresponded to the second caste. He helped gain power, promoted political advancement, and instilled fearlessness.
The third caste owned a ruby - a vaishya, which brought good luck in trade and made it possible to increase the available capital.
And at the last level was the ruby - the sudra. He was not characterized by special qualities and did not have special strength, except that he attracted good luck in small matters. Therefore, such a ruby was used mainly by jewelers and healers, and even then very rarely.
Level stones
Stones softening imperfections - levels - as a rule, stones of cold blue and green tones. Aries in this category of stones are worth paying attention to. It cleanses a person spiritually from the problems of the past. It also promotes clarity and awareness.
This stone has been known since ancient times and in many ancient cultures occupied a fairly prominent place, even served as a scale of value. So, in ancient Egypt, scarab beetles were made from this stone, which are still considered a symbol of longevity.
Lapis lazuli, according to ancient beliefs, is a stone of friendliness, therefore, at diplomatic meetings, a gift with lapis lazuli is still considered a symbol of sincerity and means much more than any promises.
