January Birthstone Guide: Garnet & Astrology

Hello, 2022! The new year is here and it’s time for a new birthstone guide. January is all about the garnet, which features many unique properties as we’ve previously learned in one of our blog posts. Now we’re here to talk about all things garnet and astrology! Let’s dive in.

Brief History


Before we get into the interesting astrological details of garnet, let’s first start with some history! Garnet dates all the way back to Egyptian times and has made its way around as time passed. Garnet in Sanskrit and Hindi is known as raktamani. What does this mean exactly? Raktamani means blood-red precious jewel! Very fitting given its popular, deep red hue. This birthstone comes in a variety of hues from a gorgeous green all the way to the notable red shade.

Now let’s get into what this post is all about! In Vedic (which is Hindi) astrology, garnet correlates with Aquarius and Capricorn constellations in the zodiac. While this gemstone corresponds with these star signs, garnet can be beneficial to anyone who wears it! How great is that?

What Can Garnet Do For Me?


Garnet is associated with your root (also known as base) and crown chakra. This means that energy will freely flow through your spine, creating balance. Additionally, this gemstone has been associated with the heart and circulatory system.
As for the beneficial properties that it can bring to your life, garnet is the stone of fearlessness. It will provide you protection against any troubling or harmful thing/situation that comes your way and instill confidence and ambition within you to take on all of life’s daily tasks!
Other notable qualities of garnet include boosting your creativity, spirituality, and even heightening your senses!
