This astrological sign is symbolised by the sign of goat. Capricorns are the one of the most stable of all zodiac signs. They are highly confident. Garnet being the birthstone of Capricorn can bring a lot of positive influence in the life of the wearer. Read on to know more about the birthstone of Capricorn.

Those who are born between December 22 and January 21 come under the zodiac sign of Capricorn or Makar. The ruling planet of this astrological sign is Saturn and it can render a huge impact on the character, relationship area and business matters of the said individual.
The principal birthstone of the Capricorn is Garnet which is known as Raktamani in Hindi language. It influences the person through its multifarious innate properties, the colour of the stone and its crystalline structure. The impact can be both on the positive and negative personality qualities.

The Garnet Factor

Capricorn is a zodiac sign where the mystery of the darkest night and the glory of the light merge. The birthstone Garnet symbolises just that. The gem symbolises the crossing of the bridge of darkness before one can reach the radiation of the great white light. It is the conquest of the monster of the self that is the ultimate goal of the Capricorn.
The deep Garnet is basically associated with the Kundalini fire or the primal fire of transformation. It is actually the integrating fire that assists the Kundalini up the spinal column. It is a stone of passion that sometimes need to be transformed into the power of purity. It is with purity of heart that the individual born under the Capricorn sign is able to realise God. In the temple of human body, the sacred spinal fire lies coiled like a snake and is called the "sacred stone". Garnet helps to awaken it and lifts it upward towards the head by the process of transmutation.

Impact of Garnet

Although the principal birthstone for the Capricorn is Garnet or the Blue Sapphire, it also responds to several other gemstones like Blue Topaz, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, Ruby and Turquoise. Garnet effectively conducts the energies of the ruling planet Saturn that makes the wearer garner advantages from the sympathy of the planet on his life path.
The sacred plexus is red, but when the fire is lifted towards the mid-section of the body, it functions under the blue ray. And when it nears the spiritual centre, it transforms into the purple violet ray.
Garnet helps to boost and brings the transmission levels to normal if it is deficient in the wearer. It also works with the generative system and stimulates the sexual drive, especially the red Garnet. The gemstone aids in imagination and protects against depression and impure thoughts. The strength of the stone basically lies dormant until it is polished.

Properties of Garnet

Garnet enhances the positive qualities that are already present in the individual and primarily helps him by taking care of the relationship area. People are fond of taking advice from the Capricorn due to his radical nature and Garnet enhances this aspect even more so that the individual can take a good stock of the situation and behave in accordance to the relationship criteria.
It makes them more approachable, faithful, true and pure. This gives them a good stead in their personal and professional lives thereby paving the way for success and peace in every sphere.
The gemstone helps them to develop their insight and make them aware and committed, thereby regenerating lost emotions and relations. It also effectively removes negativity on approach.

Healing Properties of Garnet

There are certain health issues that are naturally associated with the Capricorn. Garnet deals with them successfully and helps in preventing or curbing the problems. Some of them are like:
  • Blood related issues
  • Lung infections
  • Several variants of heart diseases
  • Different types of infections
  • The Garnet can also effectively enhance both the sensuality and sexuality aspects thereby giving the wearer a more balanced life.
The pink or violet shade of the Garnet works on the regeneration and transmutation. Garnets provide energy and courage to the individual but one needs to be careful and beware of the passionate love as it can well turn into hatred due to jealousy.
