Hot yellow (and happy!) citrine is much beloved, but who should not wear citrine stone? doesn’t get nearly the same amount of attention. Most crystal content is all about the enthusiasm and no care to the caution, which does a disservice to people. The reality is that some people who read their horoscopes, who are very sensitive to energy or whose lives are affected in certain ways may be more affected by citrine than they are for the good. It’s a high energy stone. But like espresso, not all people require more stimulation put into their machines.

As per the Vedic Astrology, citrine is associated with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance and optimism. This seems like a good idea, but if Jupiter is prominent or weak in your natal chart, then citrine can bring out its characteristics even more. Uber-confidence, financial rash and unorganized thoughts, these are indeed experiences some claim after adding stones that amplify an already powerful planetary energy. Jupiter ruled Sagittarius and Pisces rising people are sometimes advised to take precautions when wearing citrine and seek guidance from an astrologer before wearing it daily.

Citrine is an immediate stimulator for those who are naturally anxious or overstimulated; the effects can be felt or noticed almost as soon as exposure occurs and not always in a positive manner. Racing thoughts, inability to sleep, unrest, buzzing, not knowing where it’s coming from. If you are stuck or feeling slow, Citrine’s energy will be activating and forward moving, which is great, but if your nervous system is already working overtime, that’s not so great. When I am over caffeinated and agonize for two hours about something being wrong, that’s a pretty good analogy of what incompatible crystal might do on a subtle level.

Cytically, citrine is not the best crystal for those who are experiencing a deep emotional loss or emotional burnout. It does not sit with the weight of heavy feelings, but rather moves on, sounds helpful, but feels like it’s short circuiting the feelings. Mourners need space and quiet – not speed. The difference actually gives you value out of your working with crystals; it’s not about collecting pretty rocks to decorate your shelf and have fun looking at, it’s about working with them.
