What Is the Meaning of Moonstone?

It is said that to fully "charge" a moonstone---to infuse it with its healing properties---sit it where it can bathe the light of a full moon. Among the energies it attracts are ones related to healing and luck.

Balance

• Moonstones are meant to help balance your emotions and your bodily systems so you can heal and function properly.

Hope

• Carry or wear one of these stones if you are in despair or want to hold positive thoughts for an outcome of a situation, as moonstone is known to bring hope.

Feminine

• The stone is the token gem of the moon goddess Diana, and is said to make men be more at ease with the feminine aspects of their personality.

Self-Knowledge

• If you are trying to learn more about yourself or to grow as a person, use a moonstone as your personal totem so you can view yourself more clearly.

Cycles

• Moonstones represent the phases of life. It is considered a woman's stone partially because, just as the moon has its lunar cycles, she endures a monthly cycle of menstruation.

Intuition

• This is the stone to wear if you are trying to increase your intuition, or if you are telling fortunes for others.
