Happy Solstice, Yuletide and New Moon in Capricorn, the last New Moon of the year. With one foot in the old year, one in the new, Capricorn season is a great time for thinking about what you want to leave behind and what you want to call in for the New Year. Closely associated with the sign of Capricorn is The Devil card. The Devil illuminates bad habits, negative patterns and self-limiting behaviours but also brings us the determination and focus to do something about them.
This month, I've chosen Amethyst as my Holy Stone, which I matched with The Devil card in The Crystal Magic Tarot Deck. Read your tarotscope below to find out why you need some Amethyst in your life right now, and what advice The Devil has for you.
The next Holy Stones collection of one-of-a-kind Amethyst talisman jewellery will be launching on Wednesday 28th December at 6pm.
Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
EARTH SIGNS
The Devil and The Hierophant
A powerful card combo here- two major arcana cards with almost a Devil vs Angel vibe going on. The Hierophant is a spiritual leader, a wise and worthy source of enlightenment and guidance. Maybe you need ~group help~ with a trait or self belief or behaviour in your life which you KNOW gets in your way and holds you back. Don’t try and tackle this all alone. Seek help, ask for advice, look at what has worked for others, join something if you can. Everything you experience has been experienced before. There is guidance out there. Use it.
Your crystal prescription: Amethyst & Sodalite
Sodalite is also often associated with idealism and can help you stand up for your beliefs and bring groups or communities together in solidarity and trust for a communal purpose. Use Sodalite to strengthen your heart whenever you feel your faith in humanity waning. Pair this with Amethyst, sometimes referred to as the 'All Healer' if you feel scattered or lost and it will bring calm or motivation, as needed. Amethyst can also help you to set realistic goals and stimulate your mind when you need it, perfect for New Years revolutions.

AIR SIGNS
The Devil and Nine of Cups
If you’re willing to ~own it~ (as The Real Housewives like to shriek at each other) then you ARE free to do whatever TF you want! The Devil is a symbol of adult and personal freedom, but also culpability. You must take responsibility for the consequences of your decisions. The Nine of Cups is a cosmic wish pass, a dream come true card. Maybe one of your heartfelt desires will upset others or carries an unwelcome side effect. As long as you can take that on board and are willing to mitigate it, then carry on and make your dream a reality… own it!
Your crystal prescription: Amethsyt & Kunzite
Kunzite helps you realise your full potential and has the magical ability to convince you on a deep level that your dreams can come true and you can do anything you put your mind to, and that you deserve every wish you make. When you want to manifest your most heartfelt dream, let this pink crystal clear obstacles from your path and align your heart and mind to make those dreams reality. Amethyst is a stone of balance, often connected with sobriety and spirituality; In Greek Mythology the gods drank wine from Amethyst goblets as they believed the purple stone would prevent them from becoming overly drunk! So together these stones can help you find a balanced and realistic path to your truest desires.

WATER SIGNS
The Devil and The Moon
Mysteries, secrets and even lies! There is drama going on, underneath the surface, around you and your ~spidey senses~ are twitching, because you FEEL the hidden energy coursing around people you know. The Devil and The Moon are both powerful cards, so this is an important ~secret~ that you need to get to the bottom of, because it might affect the decisions you make and the actions you take. Research, probe, ask questions, take a deeper look at events vs what is said or presented. You can crack this code, unleash a truth, release yourself from the grip of a falsehood, and move feeling enlightened.
Your crystal prescription: Amethyst & Moonstone
Moonstone can help bring shadows into the light, revealing hidden truths and making the unconscious conscious. A crystal of new beginnings and intuition, Moonstone balances emotions, calms irrational energy and soothes anxiety and stress. Pair this with Amethyst, the all healer, and not only will your shadows be brought out into the light, but you can heal them. This purple wonder stone can help you break bad habits, release negative energy, let go of unhealthy attachments and break addictions and strengthen willpower.

FIRE SIGNS
The Devil and Page of Wands
FOMO is a real and present danger in your life, it leads you into exhausting chapters and burn outs, albeit you have a blast along the way! The Devil can be a warning against paths of least resistance (i.e. FOMO) and the Page of Wands is a warning against starting too much and being unable to complete any of it properly as a result. Half-finished projects, schemes and ventures will lie waste around you this month ahead if you don’t focus with a lazer-sharp beam. Tackle the ~big rocks~, let the rest go.
Your crystal prescription: Amethyst & Apatite
Use Amethyst whenever you feel scattered or lost and it will bring calm or motivation, as needed. Amethyst can help you to set realistic goals and stimulate your mind when you need it (hello January gym membership). If you have trouble with setting goals and then abandoning them, Apatite’s gentle detoxing force purges those unhealthy or negative behaviours and forms a supportive bubble of kindness that allows you to focus on what you want most, not what you want right now.
