Traditionally, the Australian Opal Direct is associated with the month of October. Aaron's breastplate was a ritual garment that assigned the meaning of twelve precious stones to the twelve months of the year and the twelve tribes of Israel. For this reason, if you are Jewish, opal is a great stone to wear regardless of what day your birthday falls on.
In astrology, the opal symbolizes the moon. Metallic silver also equals the celestial symbol of the moon. For this reason, people who are pagan or interested in the occult often wear opal and Australian Opal Rings that symbolizes the Earth Goddess holding an opal disk that represents the Moon.
When it comes to zodiac symbolism, opal does not traditionally represent any particular sign. Black and blue opals are sometimes associated with the sign of Scorpio. However, there seems to be no real historical precedent for Scorpio's association with the black opal stone, other than modern marketing efforts to give the stone some kind of sales angle and the fact that red and black are colors associated with the lustful and warrior nature of Scorpio.
However, just because tradition doesn't dictate it as right doesn't mean you can't wear an opal stone. The high crystalline purity of white opals is suitable for the more emotionally cold and intellectual astrological signs such as Capricorn, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius. Blue opals are suitable for imaginative and moody signs such as Aquarius and Libra. Their wisdom, which symbolizes water, is also good for water-ruled signs such as Cancer and Pisces. Dark red and black opals are best suited for earth signs such as Taurus and Scorpio. The brilliant and flamboyant orange Mexican varieties are good opal stones for fire-ruled astrological signs such as Aries and Leo.
