Well, your mind wasn\u2019t playing tricks on you. Birthstones have evolved over time for historical, commercial, and spiritual reasons\u2014to include those associated with your astrological sign. Let\u2019s take a look at how birthstones have been classified over the years as each phase brings something a little bit different to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>History of Birthstones by Zodiac<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Birthstones were originally associated with the Julian calendar Introduced by the Romans under the power of Julius Caesar) back in 46 BC. There were still 365 days, with the exception of every fourth year where there were 366. At this point in time, each month was aligned with a corresponding zodiac sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also a strong association with birthstones and the bible. Josephus\u2014a Jewish historian from the first century\u2014concluded that there must be a correlation between the 12 stones in Aaron\u2019s breastplate (symbolic of the tribes of Israel) and the 12 signs of the zodiac as associated with each month of the year. By the ninth century, birthstones were being associated with a particular apostle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But by the late 16th century, the Gregorian calendar (named after Pope Gregory XIII) succeeded the Julian version, but it had to correct the inaccurate measurements due to the leap years that took place over a 1700 year span. This resulted in the removal of 10 days from the Julian calendar. A few years later, Europe followed suit, but Russia didn\u2019t remove 13 days until 1922. As you can imagine, these alterations meant that the original alignment of gemstones and zodiac signs from the ancient calendars were no longer harmoniously in line with the contemporary versions we still use around the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eastern Birthstone Philosophies<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern interpretations of birthstones are not connected to the Romans or the bible. Rather, the \u201cMythical Birthstone List\u201d has Tibetan roots going back over one thousand years. There\u2019s also an Ayurvedic Birthstone list that traces back to approximately 1500 BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Commercial Birthstones<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It becomes debatable as to when sporting birthstones became in vogue. Polish tradition tells us the custom began in the eighteenth century, whereas the Gemological Institute of America claims it commenced in Germany in the 1560s. Modern accounts of birthstones have absolutely nothing to do with the aforementioned history, hence the reason why you may have seen conflicting stones associated with your birth month. The American National Association of Jewellers created a list back in 1912 and it\u2019s still used today. The reason for this movement was to make birthstones more widely acceptable to those who didn\u2019t share the religious and\/or spiritual beliefs from days gone by. In short, these are more neutral stones that solely focus on the month you were born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Birthstones Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Birthday month stones created by the American National Association of Jewellers is associated with your birth month, not astrological sign. The following is a list of the most conventional zodiac stones. Keep in mind that you may discover that there are additional birthday month zodiac signs through a birthstone chart with date\u2014some of which are even shared with other signs. The most important thing is that you\u2019re choosing a stone that you have a strong connection with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.keen.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/Keen_Birthstones_Zodiac-Blog_Aquarius.jpg\" alt=\"amethyst and aquarius symbol\" class=\"wp-image-4082\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/Keen_Birthstones_Zodiac-Blog_Aquarius.jpg 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/Keen_Birthstones_Zodiac-Blog_Aquarius-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 \u2013 FEBRUARY 18): AMETHYST<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being an air sign, an Aquarius needs perpetual exterior stimulation to match its attentive mindset.
