Scorpio Birthstones
November is upon us and the cold weather can’t be far behind. I’m rather looking forward to some down time to play with the crystals, freshen up displays in the center and complete the new website. Yes, it really is happening this time!
Happy birthday to all of you born in the sign of Scorpio. This is such an interesting sign and being ruled by Pluto adds great intensity. Malachite is one of your birthstones and is ideal because its intensity matches that of those born at this time. Bringing about transformation on all levels, Malachite is especially effective in its ability to absorb mental and physical pain, negative energy and pollutants. The patterns of this stone release the mind and stimulate visions. Mercilessly, it brings to light anything that is blocking your spiritual path and assists you to access insights from both your subconscious mind and higher consciousness and to share these with others. (Just a reminder—cleanse this stone frequently as it absorbs so much negative energy it could break if not re-energized.)
Turquoise is another of your birthstones. This will balance the intensity of Malachite, bringing inner calm. It has a soft but high energy that enhances your intuition and provides protection while you explore spiritual and darker realms. It provides solace for the soul and enhances physical wellbeing. In a crystal first-aid kit, this stone would be the first one used as it goes to the greatest depths of healing for one who is experiencing trauma. It stabilizes energies and helps one to understand why things have been created. (When purchasing Turquoise, make it a priority to get stones that are natural and not color-enhanced or stabilized as this would provide the greatest and clearest energy.)
Your emotions run deep—not that you show it on the surface—and Malachite assists you to understand and release experiences that cause you dis-ease or distress. Your emotions can be highly toxic as you have a tendency to hold on to resentment. The golden Topaz helps you to forgive and let go, while Rhodochrosite teaches your heart how to assimilate painful feelings without shutting down and assists in releasing suppressed emotions. This is beneficial in all areas of life where you are in denial. Snowflake Obsidian forces you to recognize ingrained patterns of behavior, teaching the value of mistakes as well as successes. All Obsidian will strip away illusions. The black Obsidian is harsher but all work equally well, including the Apache Tear.
Your ability to see below the surface makes you a natural healer. All the healing crystals are excellent tools for you but Charoite is especially useful with its ability to enhance perceptive analysis and to ground the self into everyday reality. It assists you to bring about deep karmic and emotional healing both at a personal and collective level. It reduces the illusion and draws in the understanding of the magik of the universe.
