Stones & The Scales
The scales. This is the sign for the Librans born between September 23rd and October 22nd. Being born in the sign of Libra, I have always considered my birthstone to be the Opal. Blue Sapphire and Pink Zircon are two other stones linked occasionally with this sign. The Opal has been labeled as unlucky for anyone not born in the sign of Libra but that is probably because it is so fragile and breaks easily. Opal occurs in many different colors which work similarly but mostly it is about celebrating the goddess emerging. It works with moon energy nearly like Moonstone.
Blue Sapphire exhibits the vibrant color that makes you feel good and delights your heart. It brings dreams to fruition and imbues your life with lightness and joy. It aligns the physical, mental and spiritual levels and restores the balance which is so vital to you. It will aid you in the opening of the throat and third eye chakras. This is known as the Stone of Peace and resonates with your desire for a tranquil life. There is nothing those in the sign of Libra dislike more than confrontation and wearing a Sapphire assures peace of mind and overcomes our chronic indecision. We value quality, aesthetics and good taste and Sapphire’s ability to attract prosperity is useful here. As with many of the rare stones and gems, its energy is very high. Use it wisely. There are those who could not bear it.
Libra is a diplomatic sign with a flair for creating harmony, especially in the environment, and for finding creative compromises. It is in negotiation and conflict resolution that your potential can shine and crystals such as Celestite support you in this as it promotes wisdom. Lapis assists in expressing your opinion on a matter. (Think of the blue of the throat chakra and speaking the truth.) Sugilite supports overcoming conflict without either party having to compromise and carries the heart to higher levels of understanding once the heart has been opened. Ulexite goes to the core of problems, aiding in resolution and activating solutions. As it would be rubbed, touched or held, it would be almost as though energetically one is absorbing the sweetness that would allow life to be much more digestible. Dendritic Agate helps you to create a peaceful environment and Mahogany Obsidian supports your aspirations, removing blockages to your life’s work.
With so many beautiful tools to play with, we can overcome the challenges we face and create a wonderful life for ourselves. Happy journeys!
