Ruby is much more than a gem to those born in July, it's a fiery symbol of passion, energy, and emotional complexity. Yet few people realize that the meaning of ruby deepens even further when we examine it in terms of astrology. This fiery red gemstone is a perfect fit for the personality of both Cancer and Leo, the two zodiac signs who co-share the month of July. If you're a true Cancer or a fearless Leo, ruby accessories can express your zodiac spirit and make a gorgeous addition to your daily wardrobe.
Let's dive in a bit more deeply into how ruby relates to these two signs, and how you can accessorize this relationship with intention and style.
The Heart of July Birthstone Jewelry
Usually referred to as the "king of gemstones," ruby is prized for its rich red color and vibrant energy. In spiritual practice, ruby is said to awaken the heart chakra, encouraging love, courage, and energy. Because of this, it makes a particularly powerful birthday gift of jewelry, emotional symbol, and even personal empowerment.
At Little Sky Stone, our July Birthstone Jewelry Collection, features ruby in designs that are both modern and classic. From simple birthstone pendants to stacked necklaces and elegant rings, every piece is designed to empower the wearer with the natural confidence and warmth of ruby.
And the relationship between ruby and zodiac extends beyond its beauty, it accesses the essence of July's zodiac signs' personality.
Ruby and Cancer: The Protective Heart
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) is moon-ruled and linked to emotions, intuition, and a sense of home and family. Cancers are one of the most caring signs of the zodiac and tend to wear others' emotional burdens on their shoulders. It's for this reason that ruby is such an effective birthstone for Cancer, it provides grounding as well as energizing attributes.
Ruby is able to enhance Cancer's inner strength, giving them emotional clarity and healthy boundaries. For those Cancers who have a tendency to give and give, ruby serves as a gentle reminder to nourish themselves just as much as they nourish others.
Our Cancer Zodiac Necklace matches beautifully with ruby jewelry for a richly symbolic and personal expression. With its sleek gold hue and detailed zodiac etching, this necklace balances ruby's shine with respect to Cancer's heavenly nature.
Style Tip: Layer the Cancer Zodiac Necklace with a ruby birthstone charm for an inspiring blend of cosmic and emotional symbolism.
Ruby and Leo: The Fiery Leader
Leo (July 23 – August 22) is governed by the sun and radiates charisma, creativity, and leadership. Leos are bold and self-confident, and few gemstones fit their personality as well as ruby. Like the lion, ruby is kingly, magnetic, and cannot be ignored.
Ruby enables Leos to go completely for their natural assurance with a sense of remaining linked to the emotional warmth that makes them so motivating. Ruby makes Leo a natural-born leader, able to lead from the heart rather than just from power, which makes it an ideal choice for declaring themselves through jewelry.
Our Leo Zodiac Coin Necklace is the perfect accessory for any Leo looking to show off their sign. Made with a radiant 14k gold finish and retro-inspired coin design, this necklace emits sunny vibes and is the perfect match for any ruby item.
Style Tip: Add the Leo Zodiac Necklace to a ruby pendant on a longer chain to add depth and drama, a look as daring as any Leo soul.
