The watery sign of Cancer has arrived with the height of the summer solstice. With the turning of her tides we find ourselves moved by our emotional bodies more than any other time of the year. Cancer is the Mother, the Moon, and the protective crab and to best support the energies she brings we lean on the Moonstone and wear Pearls.
My oldest son is a Taurus baby -- he is an incredible example to me of why Emerald is the perfect stone for this sign. Taurus is ruled by Venus and together they are a most sensual, grounded and beautifully rooted and body-oriented energy. The Emerald lends potent healing vibrations to the body of the Taurus and assists with feeling stable, connected and solidly aligned in the heart.
At the return of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, Aries sits at the beginning of the zodiac, representative of the start of something new. The stones that support the energy of this sign assist in the task, as Bloodstone instills courage and Diamond not only brings clarity, but inspires ingenuity. These two crystals together bless the Aries-natured person, or one who is wishing to align with her fiery nature, to be bold and brave in the face of challenges.
Anything from an unbalanced diet to negative thought patterns can cause someone to feel ungrounded. If you are often stuck in your head or regularly eat a low-calorie diet, getting grounded should be a top priority.
As the visionaries of the zodiac, Aquarians get (at least) two amazing gemstones to support them in their drive for assisting humanity in up-leveling and recognizing their potential. Both Amber and Sugilite are excellent crystalline care-takers of the Aquarian personality and can help anyone bring out the qualities of the Aquarius vibration in their life.
Often referred to as “fool's gold” due to its golden luster, pyrite crystal may not be gold, but its healing properties and uses are priceless. Believe me when I say that you would not be a fool to align with the mystical and practical benefits of the pyrite crystal.
With striated, blue Kyanite in one hand and magical, colorful Labradorite in the other, I can feel my energy body aligning. I literally can. These two powerful stones have been two of my best friends over the years. I still wear Labradorite daily as one who reminds me of the magical nature of my being. You too can gain incredible insights and peel back layers of the dream by aligning with Kyanite and Labradorite cyrstals.

Accidentally letting the smooth piece of Malachite drop from my hand onto the hard cement floor, I saw a corner fly off. This was before I was aware of the 2 rating this stone has on the Mohs scale – which basically means it is one of the softest stones there is (Diamonds rate a 10 – the hardest). This is when it came into my awareness that you could powder this stone easily in a mortar and pestle, as the Egyptians did, who often used this stone as eye make up to ward off evil.
I first stumbled on the concept of “entrainment” during a Crystal Healing training. It is something many of us do naturally and most of us would love to be able to do with everyone we communicate with – or at least try to. I was thrilled to learn and then experience for myself how using clear quartz crystal with the right intention will help you to entrain to another person on such a level that is miraculous how well. Here is a brief clear quartz crystal entrainment exercise you can try any time!
I was pregnant with my first baby and the “father” was non-existent. Instead, I had met an amazing man who I had warily started dating. I had no idea what to expect while my body morphed and transformed in order to bring forth the life growing inside of me. This man's mother, who would later become my first child's grandmother, gave me a rose quartz in the shape of a heart at my blessingway, just a few weeks before his arrival. My heart, which was trepidatious and afraid to let anyone in, suddenly began opening to the possibility of love with the aid of rose quartz.
