When studying the energy of moonstone it can be useful to also study the energy of the moon, as there are some similarities. Moonstone promotes the use of intuition and feelings rather than intellectual reasoning. It can be a useful crystal to have around if you find yourself getting "stuck in your head" – worrying or thinking too much. In this way it also helps to trust your intuition when it comes to decision making and can be seen as a guiding stone – not that it guides you by itself, it is more an energetic reminder of how you have all the tools to guide yourself.

It is also a crystal of renewal and can help you connect to the ideas that life is a continuing process with many births and many deaths as you grow. Moonstone energy is an energy that helps you to accept this process more readily, and maybe even to welcome it because every death and resulting birth brings you greater knowledge of yourself and the world you live in.

In India today, and in other traditions, moonstone is still regarded as a sacred stone. It is a rejuvenating and vital crystal that brings calmness and awareness of things greater than our human body and mind. It is also sometimes known as the wishing stone.
