There are many Feng Shui cures and remedies to balance the chi around us and within us. Let’s look at how each of these yin crystals can improve our life and how to use them.
Some New Moon Crystal Rituals
New Moon’s represent new beginnings, and these feminine crystals can help you start something that you’ve never done before. You can try:
- Writing a list of changes that you want to see in your life. Use Rose Quartz for love, or Aventurine to help visualize positive outcomes.
- Visiting a networking event to expand your career. Harness the power of Larimar or Labradorite to speak with conviction.
- Performing a space clearing to shift blockages in your Feng Shui. Try using Selenite and Amethyst for clarity and balance.
Some Full Moon Crystal Rituals
The Full Moon is in opposition to the Sun, refelcting our planet’s life-giver back to us. As such it represents a peak in energy started in the previous new moon. Some things you can do take advantage of Full Moon energy –
- Cleanse and recharge all of your crystals under the moonlight in your home’s Sheng Chi direction for boosting prosperity, Tian Yi to boost your health, Yien Nien direction for boosting your family’s luck or Fu Wei direction to bring more stability into your life.
- Complete a task or fulfil a wish that you started with the New Moon. If you can’t tick it off the list, then try taking a big step towards making it happen. Read on to work out which crystal is best suited to help you move forward.
- Donating to a worthwhile charity is great way to boost your own good Karma during the Full Moon. Use Rose Quartz to help you focus on which cause will make the most difference with your donation.
- Keep your emotions under control. During the Full Moon, we can all become frazzled or agitated. Sometimes it’s best to stay calm, still letting our emotions flow, but remembering that everything is intesified while the moon is full.
1. Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is light pink and cool to the touch. It is one of the primary crystals associated with feminine energy.
Rose quartz aligns closely with the heart chakra, which is responsible for peace, calm, self-love, and a sense of trust and connectedness within relationships. The heart chakra is the center of love. Giving and receiving love requires embracing our feminine energy.
Feng shui affects our living spaces as well. Using rose quartz as art within you and your partner’s bedroom can help inspire the yin elements of a loving and harmonious relationship.
If you are experiencing loss, sadness, or loneliness, you may be experiencing a blockage in your heart chakra. Rose quartz can be used by placing it over your heart while sitting in your Tian Yi direction, taking several deep breaths, and pulling the energy inward towards your heart chakra. Let the energy flow freely, releasing any tension that may be harnessing excess yang energy.
2. Moonstone
Moonstone is an iridescent crystal with a milky, white appearance. It is semi-transparent or opaque with many colors, the most common being blue and silver undertones.
This crystal is strongly aligned with Mother Earth and self-discovery. Part of yin energy involves a calm, inward reflection. Female intuition is an inherently yin trait.
Moonstone is known to inspire depth and self-awareness within us. It pairs well with meditation, especially if you meditate in your personal Fu Wei direction or where your 8 “mountain star” appears in your Flying Star chart. Try lying on the ground in a comfortable, relaxed position. Place the moonstone above your third eye during deep meditation.
Strongly aligned with lunar energy, moonstone is said to be a most powerful full moon crystal. Charge it overnight in moonlight, and wear it as jewellery to absorb its healing properties.
3. Carnelian
Carnelian is a glassy stone that varies in color from light orange to a dark, burnt brick shade.
This crystal is all about creativity and motivation. It is associated with the sacral chakra, and its energy can be utilized to heal this region. It stimulates the energetic aspects of the feminine, inspiring creativity and movement.
If you are experiencing menstrual pain, place a carnelian stone over your sacral chakra while lying down or even in the bath for an extra relaxing experience. It can help move any stuck energy.
Similarly, this stone is suitable for working through feelings of apathy and building confidence at work. Placing it in your workspace can help you with decision-making and business skills.
4. Larimar
Larimar is a unique stone from the Dominican Republic. Ranging from light to deep blue with varying marbled patterns, it’s reminiscent of the ocean or a cool blue sky.
This crystal helps restore balance and connect us to Mother Nature. Connecting us to our inner wisdom, it can help us work through challenging emotions of all kinds. It’s a grounding crystal that brings with it physical and mental health.
Since it stimulates the throat chakra, you can use it in the Southeast or Northwest directions, or another excellent way to use it is to wear it as a necklace or pendant. The feminine qualities of calm, enlightenment, and serenity help bring balance to yin and yang.
5. Selenite
Selenite can be clear, white, or gray and usually has a pearly and fibrous appearance.
Selenite brings clarity to connect you to your inner wisdom and higher self. It’s an excellent crystal to use when feeling overwhelmed by other emotions as it can have cleansing properties.
Perhaps you have too much masculine energy and want to filter that healthily—or maybe your feminine energy is too intense. Selenite is a natural balancer.
Selenite accentuates the abilities of other crystals as well. As a high-vibration stone, it is good to pair it with others to get even more of their healing benefits.
6. Aventurine
Aventurine is a glistening, green stone from the quartz family. Like its soothing color, it is known to calm the nervous system.
Yin energy is associated with the parasympathetic system, while yang is associated with the sympathetic. The balance of yin and yang can often get thrown off by a busy life and modern stressors. Aventurine is a good option for relaxing the nervous system, letting it connect to its feminine state.
Aventurine crystals can be used in various ways to absorb their healing properties. Wear it as jewelry, particularly close to your heart chakra, to let the heart energy flow. You can also use it in meditation or place it around your home wherever you need calming energy.

7. Amethyst
Also from the quartz family, this deep purple crystal is strongly tied to yin energy. Amethyst is traditionally known to have grounding properties and enhance yin chi.
It is connected to the crown and third eye chakras. Physically, amethyst can help boost your immune system and clear blockages causing headaches or migraines. Spiritually, the crystal connects us deeper to our intuition. Emotionally, it allows us to find balance and access better decision-making.
Amethyst’s healing properties can be accessed in multiple ways. Jewelry, home decor, and meditation practices are good ways to take advantage of amethyst’s benefits, especially when used in the Sheng Chi direction.
8. Labradorite
Labradorite is a dark, metallic gemstone that displays a wide range of colors—from blue to red to gold—in the light. The colorful play of light alludes to its healing powers of being able to evoke hidden lights from within.
Labradorite has the magic quality of being able to bring out the inner feminine divine. It is connected to the crown, third eye, and throat chakras and is known to elevate decision-making and communication.
To use this crystal, place it around your home or workspace that has the 6 Metal or 8 Earth star, or wear it as jewelry. At work, it can help maintain focus and calm. In your relationship, labradorite can facilitate connection and make you more receptive to your partner. Place it in locations where you are more likely to interact with others.
9. Peridot
Peridot is a glassy, bright green crystal. It is the stone of harmony and compassion, two yin traits.
This crystal is used to balance the eight themes of Bagua, the significant forces that guide life and energy. It can be used with feng shui principles in any living or workspace to create a peaceful environment. Whether at home or the office, peridot can be placed strategically with the help of feng shui to boost creativity and enhance mood.
Final Thoughts on Feminine Yin Crystals for Feng Shui
Technically speaking, crystals are helping to add Earth Element to your Feng Shui, but we can also use the healing properties and nature of those crystals to “fine-tune” the Earth that we are adding.
Combining crystals and the moon’s cycles is just one powerful Feng Shui method that you can use to improve the energy of your space. If you combine all the external and internal Feng Shui methods with your astrology and the healing benefits of crystals, your life can truly change for the better.
