A variety of warm yellow-toned quartz that can vary between pale golden and deep honey colors, this stone glows with a sunny hue that can brighten anyone’s day. This stone is a great companion for your pocket, purse, or desk, as it’s associated with abundance and opportunity as well as clarity and confidence. Associated with the Strength card (2024’s tarot card of the year!), it’s a great ally for your goal-setting all year round while you work toward the new year’s goals.

If you’re looking for a boost of confidence and personal power this year, consider keeping a piece of citrine in your eye line when you wake up in the morning, like your bedside take or on your dresser. Not only is it a lovely visual cue to remind you to take time for yourself and remind you of your goals as you start your day. 

This crystal can come with you wherever you go (even if you’re working from home, like some of us.) It’s helpful to have on hand for focus and clarity, which means it’s a helpful ally for your desk at meetings or on your bookshelf. You might even want to bring it on the go with you when you’re working at the library or coffee shop, whether that’s studying for a test or checking off the to-do list. This particular crystal comes in all shapes and sizes, so there’s sure to be a practical option for display or carrying with you, depending on what you have in mind.

When it comes to harnessing the opportunities the universe throws your way in 2024, it might be a good year to dedicate a particular corner of your home to your personal intentions and place your citrine there. Use it as an anchor to attract the courage and abundance you’re searching for by placing it atop a written description of your goals—the more details and clarity the better! By putting in the work, both envisioning and enacting, you can make the life you dream of a reality, and this crystal ally can help you each step of the way.
