February is definitely the month of love. While Valentine's Day is the obvious reasoning behind this, February is also a month with both Aquarius and Pisces - Airy and Watery signs that often focus on what we can do to honor ourselves, our creativity and freedom, and our emotional and spiritual needs. February is also one of the toughest months for those in the Northern Hemisphere that can be affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), because of the colder, bleaker weather and general lack of sunlight. Toss in a dose of global pandemic and well.. We ALL need some self love right now!
I have put together a guide for crystals you can use for Self Love and everything it encompasses: awareness, grace, acceptance, trust and respect. Most of these crystals are also perfect for the beginner and are easily accessible to snatch up! Make sure to incorporate these stones into your rituals and life this month to exercise that self love muscle and really show yourself the care and tenderness you deserve.
