Each month we spotlight a crystal that pairs well with the energy of the season, and for late August, we’re focusing on citrine.

Citrine is associated with confidence, personal power, and abundance, making it a natural fit as summer winds down and attention starts shifting toward new goals and the back half of the year. Unlike some stones associated with calming or grounding energy, citrine carries a more activating quality, useful for anyone who’s been feeling stagnant or unsure how to move forward on something.

A simple way to work with it: keep a piece somewhere visible, a desk, a windowsill, somewhere you’ll actually see it daily, rather than tucked away. Some people also hold it briefly during meditation or journaling, particularly when working through questions about confidence or direction.

If you’re drawn to crystal work as part of a broader practice, an advisor session can help identify which stones align with what you’re currently working through.
