Let the Moon Guide the Way
Here we are again! The summer solstice is past and the heat is setting in. The Fourth of July is upon us and before we know it, fall will be here! Wow, how time has speeded up!
June 21st through July 22nd in the zodiac is the sign of Cancer. The most agreed upon birthstone is the Moonstone with Pearl and Emerald also listed. When we think of Moonstone, we usually picture a white or creamy stone with a play of light within it. Moonstone also comes in a variety of colors, from a soft grey to green to peach and a wonderful variety called Rainbow Moonstone. This one has many colors within it but primarily a blue fire.
Moonstone has always been an aspect of the purity of the Goddess, an aspect of the inner nature, the feminine self and how to receive. It draws in and allows the love of the feminine nature, the Goddess. With your sun in Cancer, you are highly sensitive and somewhat prone to mood swings. The Moonstone can keep you emotionally balanced. Many will have a great fear of it, being attracted and repelled as by a cobra for they desire the powerful love of the Goddess and fear their abuse of it in other times.
The Pearl brings compassion and deep levels of understanding within self. Both the Moonstone and the Pearl are moon-ruled and will be especially powerful at the full moon. Choose a stone and color you are attracted to and reserve some time for meditation and inward reflection under a full moon.
The Emerald is essentially a heart stone but when used in the throat area it lifts the purity of truth into the will center. The Ruby, another heart stone, may be used by those in the sign of Cancer to propel them forward into realizing their ambitions and it will attract an outlet for their hidden talents. It is a marvelous access stone to the royalty of self.
The stones for this sign are some of my favorites and I use them a great deal in the crystal layouts. Explore these stones and find those that will benefit you the most.
A hearty thanks to all of you who have supported me through my medical challenges. You are much appreciated.
