Red garnet is one of the primary birthstones for Capricorn and the traditional birthstone for January.  The burgundy-red stone is all about confidence, vitality, and passion. It is one of the best stones to nurture heartbreak, heal from past hurts and clear emotional baggage as it allows the release of any resentment, regret, guilt, or shame attached to love, sex or relationships. It removes inhibitions and taboos and opens you to new levels of confidence.  Resonating deeply with the sacral chakra (the energetic centre associated with pleasure, sensuality, and survival). It strengthens one's survival instincts, bringing courage and raising your vigilance to danger. As a sacral chakra stone, it is believed to increase low libido and balance an overactive one.  

Physically, red garnet is believed to flush out toxins from the body, improve circulation and increase metabolism.

Being an earth element stone, red garnet has a special affinity to Capricorn – its earthy energies keep Capricorn grounded while complementing their highly driven and goal-oriented nature.
