One of the many strengths of Cancer is their divine connection to their intuition. A stone that enhances this energy is Blue Calcite. This luminous stone is healing to the spirit, cleansing to the energetic field, and powerful in promoting inner peace. Cancers may feel drained or even overwhelmed by the outside world, so it is important to have a self-care practice at home. Blue Calcite should be present in the sacred home space to bring balance back to Cancers.

Hematite is another powerful stone of importance for Cancer. This crystal is an ore of Iron, which helps circulation in your body. The more our blood flows, the more we circulate new energy. This is a strong grounding stone, helping Cancer connect to their center and focus their intentions. This stone also activates the root chakra — the chakra associated with “home” and “security”. Find comfort and grounding in Hematite, Cancer.

A beautiful practice for Cancers would be to journal while holding this stone, to promote honest expression and emotional healing.
