Reviewing Judy Hall’s Crystal Zodiac

Judy Hall’s Crystal Zodiac is a well-rounded and approachable guide for anyone interested in exploring how crystals interact with astrology. The book breaks down each zodiac sign evenly and includes crystals not just for sun signs, but also for moon and rising signs — something I found incredibly helpful for more personalised work.

The explanations are clear, the writing is accessible, and the book includes plenty of crystal photographs, making it easy for beginners to identify stones. I also appreciated that it doesn’t shy away from nuance; Hall discusses when certain crystals may not be appropriate to use, offering a more balanced perspective than many beginner-friendly guides.

My only critique is a minor one: the book is a comfortable size but not particularly pocket-friendly. This is purely a preference thing — I enjoy taking small reference books on the go — but in every other respect the formatting works well.

Overall, Crystal Zodiac is a light but informative read and a solid addition to any crystal or astrology enthusiast’s collection. It’s especially useful for those wanting to explore how different placements within their birth chart can shape crystal selection.
