What Are the Chakra Healing Benefits of Fire Agate?

Fire Agate is particularly potent in stimulating the Base Chakra, the Sacral Chakra, and the Heart Chakra.

We’ve pretty much discussed both the Base and Heart Chakras. But to sum it up, the Base Chakra is the seat of one’s physical movement, security, and connection with the earth and corporeal existence. Meanwhile, the Heart Chakra is responsible for relationships, love, and understanding of the self and the people around you. If the two of them become unstable, it can spell disaster for one’s relationships with other people and the self.

The Sacral Chakra, on the other hand, is the second chakra located below the navel and above the pubic bone. This is the body’s center of gravity and energy. This is where a person’s life force is perpetuated and balanced. This is also where one’s gut feeling emanates from.

A balanced Sacral Chakra means that a person has passion and enthusiasm for life. There’s also ample energy for expressing one’s creativity and sexuality. If this chakra point is out of balance, a person may feel confused all the time, or he may depend heavily on others. That’s why a fiery stone like Fire Agate is helpful in bringing back the luster and sexual energy that all people need.

Fire Agate Birthstone and Zodiac Sign

Fire Agates are neither natural nor traditional birthstones because of its mixed colors and unique iridescence. But it’s particularly helpful for Geminis (May 21^st– June 20^th) who may have trouble keeping their word and keeping other people’s secrets. It can also help Geminis with their mood swings, as it stabilizes their highly active minds and/or imaginations. But Geminis are lovely people because they get along well with almost everyone and they’re not afraid to listen and impart their vast emotional intelligence.

Fire Agates radiate the energy of the wood, fire, and earth elements.

Fire energy is the energy of warmth, brightness, enthusiasm, and activity. Placing a Fire Agate in the South area of a home or room can influence the fame and reputation area of your home. Fire Agates will give you that boost to help you get ahead in your community and your family life.

This element is responsible for the East and Southeast areas of the home, which is also known as the Family and Health area, and the Prosperity and Abundance area.
