Welcome back to Every Day Tarot, your daily dive into the wisdom of the cards. Season 15 is all about tarot and crystals, and today we’re exploring the tender yet powerful energy of rose quartz.
Rose quartz is known as the stone of love—self-love, romantic love, and divine love. It is a sacred crystal of the goddess, embodying beauty, forgiveness, and emotional balance. While often thought of as soft, rose quartz also carries the energy of tough love, helping us release old wounds and claim our worthiness.
In this episode, we explore rose quartz’s myths, magical qualities, and its resonance with tarot archetypes of compassion and transformation.
What we explore in this episode:
The myths and magical qualities of rose quartz
Rose Quartz: Myth, Magic & Meaning
Rose quartz occurs in both massive and crystal forms, its soft pink hue tied to elements of phosphorus, aluminum, and other inclusions. Artifacts made from rose quartz have been found in China, Europe, and the Near East, often associated with love and beauty—it’s prized for opening the heart and soothing the spirit.
In magical practice, rose quartz has been used for:
Cultivating self-love and forgiveness
Healing old wounds and releasing shame
Attracting love and deepening relationships
Connecting with the maternal and protective aspects of the Great Mother
Its elemental signature is Water, and it’s associated with goddess archetypes of Love, Mother, Sacred Harlot, and the Fierce Protectress. Rose quartz reminds us that love is both gentle and strong, capable of nurturing and of setting firm boundaries.
Rose Quartz & the Tarot
Rose quartz resonates with archetypes like The Empress, The Lovers, and Death. It embodies beauty, intimacy, and transformation, teaching us that love is not always simple sweetness, but also a practice to grow, release, and honor our truth.
