I chose Septarian as the stone of the Month for January and to kick off the year as we set new intentions for ourselves or resolutions and goals as it was the perfect choice given is ability to support one to let go of the old and to create and embrace new habits and routines. and added to this ability is this stones association to Dragon’s! Dragon’s I hear you say what have they got to do with anything?
Septarian aka Dragonstone connects to the energetic theme I set for January. I am calling it the Alchemy of Fire – which is all about Transformation, New Beginnings and of course Dragons.
As we step into 2026 the year of the Fire Horse which is set to be dominated by the dynamic and fast paced energy of the Fire Septarian connects us to one of the most recognized symbols of Fire the Dragon.
Septarian is a combination of calcite, aragonite and limestone. So you are actually getting the benefits of not just one crystal/mineral composition but three. Together they combine to be a powerful stone of emotional balance and calm, having strong grounding and protective energies. Septarian is associated to the Root Chakra and can also assist you to improve your communication skills and instills greater happiness and understanding in your life. Such attributes can all greatly assist us to ride out what is set to be a somewhat chaotic year of change for us all.
Corresponding to the Earth Element it is a powerful choice for those wishing to strengthen or deepen their connection to Mother Earth. The greatest healing gift we can receive from Mother Nature is that of Balance and Support. The Earth Element is a Feminine nurturing energy that provides us with both a greater sense of sense of stability and mental clarity in comparison to the impulsiveness of the Masculine Fire Element. It helps to balance the energies of its action oriented masculine counterpart Fire.
This particular stone which is defined also as a fossil has a connection to the other Feminine Element of Water as it is formed when over time the associated minerals take up space in the cracks and crevices left as ancient Sea creatures decay and ancient sea beds dry up.
In this present time of great awakening and change upon our planet Septarian is also a stone that can aid one with the deepening of one’s spiritual connections and practices.
And like all fossils Septarian can assist one through times of transition given they have been present here on earth for millennia.
It just made perfect sense to become acquainted with Septarian as our stone of the Month in the lead up to the start of the Year of the Fire Horse, and I would recommend you keep it close all year, You may even like to explore working more closely with Dragon Energy too and how that may assist you.
