Crystals are definitely having a moment right now, though their healing powers have been touted by diverse populations throughout history. As we’re new to this whole practice, we tapped tarot reader to the stars and “explorer of the soul” Angie Banicki to help us select the right starter crystals based on our astrological signs. (Take heart, those of you freaking out in light of news that NASA changed your sign last week—Angie, along with many others in her field, still subscribes to the original astrological charts.) Here, the stones she says you should add into your life ASAP, along with a song she’s channeled on your behalf.
