While anyone can use this translucent crystal in their metaphysical work, it’s said that selenite has a particular affiliation with the zodiac signs Taurus and Cancer — so practitioners with these sun signs may find selenite particularly useful (per Village Rock Shop). For Taurians, selenite is purported to provide internal peace, a sense of calm, and mental clarity. This can be very helpful for headstrong bulls, who are slow to anger but also explosive when pushed over the line. If you’re a Taurus struggling to control your temper or see a situation clearly, meditating on the issue with a piece of selenite may help.

Cancers, meanwhile, may find that selenite improves their intuition and self-understanding while keeping negativity at bay. Because those born under the sign of Cancer tend to be viciously self-critical, this kind of positive insight and awareness can be crucial. If your sun sign is Cancer, instead of beating yourself up after a perceived mistake, undertake a soul-searching exercise with selenite in hand. Use your error not for self-judgment, but for self-growth — and try to forgive yourself along the way. Remember: You’re only human.

Though this seems less common, some sources also tie selenite to the sign Gemini, the social butterfly of the zodiac. At their best, Geminis tend to be charming and witty, but they can also be fickle, easily bored, and quick to argue. Because selenite is calming and purifying, it’s suggested that this crystal may help Gemini suns embrace internal balance and soothe their impatient natures. If you’re a Gemini who tends to get frustrated when things are slow or dull, try holding selenite while you go through a few deep-breathing exercises to center yourself and calm both your physical and mental responses.
