As Mars glows its brightest in the night sky, directly opposite the Sun in the Gemini constellation, it offers a powerful cosmic moment to harness clarity, motivation, and drive. Mars, the planet of action and determination, is asking us to reflect on where we’re directing our energy. This fiery, energetic alignment is ideal for setting intentions that fuel your goals with clarity and purpose.
To complement this celestial event, I’ve created a Seed of Life crystal grid. This grid channels the dynamic energy of Mars, offering both grounding and focus while empowering us to step boldly into aligned action.

Focus stone: Red Jasper
This vibrant, earthy stone resonates deeply with Mars’ fiery energy. Red Jasper provides a steady, grounding force, helping you stay balanced and driven while taking inspired action. Place it at the heart of the grid to embody Mars’ passionate yet focused energy.
Surrounding stones: Carnelian and Citrine
Known as the stone of motivation and courage, Carnelian radiates warmth and determination. Its energy enhances the qualities of Mars, fuelling creativity and confidence. Arrange these stones around the Red Jasper to amplify drive and ignite your inner fire.
Citrine’s golden energy represents joy, manifestation, and success. As Mars encourages clarity of purpose, Citrine helps to turn your goals into reality by boosting your optimism and focus. Place these stones in the second layer to encourage inspired momentum.
Intention stone: Tiger’s Eye
Tiger’s Eye balances fiery energy with practicality, offering wisdom and insight as you move forward. Its grounding vibrations align your efforts with a clear, thoughtful direction. Use this as your intention stone at the grid’s outer points to ground Mars’ dynamic energy.
Complementary stones
Hematite enhances focus and determination, providing mental clarity and aligning beautifully with Mars’ drive for decisive action.
Golden Healer Quartz, promotes vitality and clarity while gently supporting your goals. It also encourages connection with your highest self, ensuring your actions are aligned with your true purpose.
Scatter these throughout the grid intuitively for an extra layer of support. I was intuitively drawn to add some Garnet, which resonates strongly with Mars’ themes of passion, vitality, and determination.
Protection stone: Black Tourmaline
Mars’ energy can be intense, and Black Tourmaline ensures you stay protected and grounded during this high-energy time. Its shielding properties create a stable perimeter, guarding against overwhelm and negative energy.
Setting up your crystal grid
Choose your space: Find a quiet spot where you can meditate and connect with the grid’s energy.
Cleanse your crystals: Cleanse your stones with moonlight, incense, or sound to reset their energy.
Assemble the grid: Start with the centre (Red Jasper) and build outward, placing each layer mindfully. Follow the Seed of Life pattern, ensuring symmetry and flow.
Activate your grid: Use a clear Quartz point or your finger to trace the grid’s energy flow. Start from the centre, connecting each stone in a spiral motion outward.
Set your intention: Hold your hands over the grid, visualising your energy aligning with Mars’ vibrant power. State your intention aloud or silently.
