Purple Fluorite and Sterling Silver Lotus Necklace Bracelet - Perfect for the Crown Chakra!

Find the listing for this beautiful and beneficial bracelet by clicking here.

This comfortable bracelet is about 7", so it fits most wrists. The stretch "power cord" (4.5mm) is securely knotted and glued to insure safety. That being said, one should always use care when putting on and removing a stretch bracelet to insure its longevity.

Made with healing intention and charged with Reiki, this bracelet is a powerful ally. 

Purple flourite is amazing for meditation and psychic work. It strongly focuses the mind and is associated with the crown chakra, which connects us to the Divine and is responsible for mental processes such as memory, concentration, and attention. It is a highly protective stone and grounds nervous and emotional energy. It allows us to see through illusions and quickens spiritual awakening.

The lotus symbolizes strength and beauty. It grows in murky waters, but its blossoms are pure, which is why the Buddha is pictured sitting on a lotus. 

The powerful properties of purple fluorite and the symbolism of the beautiful lotus combine to bring you a potent healing and focusing tool.

Perfect for wearing every day, but especially during Mercury in Retrograde (in 2014: February 6- 28, June 2 - July 7, October 4-25), as Mercury in Retrograde can make our thinking cloudy and brings up issues from the past, which often spurs negative emotions.

Order today! Someone special will wear this in calming, focused awareness.

If ordered by noon, ships the same business day. If ordered after noon, may ship the same business day, may be the next business day. Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding areas may pick up. Free priority mail shipping in the 48 contiguous United States! Listing is for the bracelet only.

It's Spring! Let's Celebrate!

Sorry for my absence last week. Construction is still going on and it has been harder getting to the computer. But, while I'm here, I want to make sure of a couple of things:

1. That you check my Facebook Fan Page for the weekly Tarot Tuesday reading. I'm posting there first, since it actually works out for me to post from my phone. When I can get to my computer, I'll still post here, but it will be later in the day.

2. That you know about my Spring Sale!! We in the northern hemisphere have been waiting for this day for SO long!! That is reason to celebrate all on its own, but I'm adding more to the happiness mix … perhaps to make up for the fact that it's still cold here, but we won't dwell on that.  

I'm offering 20% off in my Whether Stone Etsy store until March 27th! 
  Use coupon code SPRING20 to add color, beauty, healing, and intention to your life!!

What Happens When Mars Goes Retrograde?

Mercury is now direct (though still in a shadow period until March 22nd, so we aren't totally free from its grasp), so we can turn our attention to another big retrograde- Mars. For a few days, I was feeling incredible tension and knew I had to look into it further. After a couple of Tarot readings, I finally looked up how a Mars in retrograde affects us. This article explains it nicely:http://www.evolvingdoor.ca/miscarticles/rxmars.htm

Seems Mars wants us to re-visit anger we've kept hidden from ourselves or its counterparts resentment, depression, and frustration. The Scorpio side of Mars (Mars rules Scorpio) wants us to dig all that up and release it for healing. The Aries side (Mars also rules Aries) prefers to get to where it's going quickly and can get frustrated easily by roadblocks. Mars in retrograde can also release buried ambitions and passion. How this manifested for me personally was that I was feeling incredibly creatively inspired but kept running into issues getting the time and space to actually create. Seems this can be a message to learn patience and to slow down. Once I spent some time clearing my work space and took a process oriented, leisurely pace to creating, I felt magically transformed.

I like what the author says about "not letting Mars energy out without a leash". After all, Mars is currently in Libra, so we are seeking balance. (Note the date on the article and that the retrograde dates at the end are for several years ago. The nature of Mars retrograde still holds true.)

Jupiter stations direct today in Cancer, so the expansive energy of Jupiter joins the love of hearth, home, family, and protective nature of Cancer. These properties flood the collective during the stationing, so add that layer over the Mars retrograde energy and there may be tension, passion, and/or ambition uncovered at home. Add that to the moon moving into Gemini, and you'll probably have plenty of conversations about all you've felt and discovered. And if you're an empath like I am, you are not only experiencing your personal feelings, but also those of others and the collective, so be sure to take care of yourself! Exercise, drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods, use healing crystals, flower essences, meditate, get creative, clean, or whatever else helps you stay grounded. (Remember to contact me for Reiki, Tarot readings, and healing crystal jewelry.)

How have you been feeling with all this planetary shifting? I'd love to hear about it! After all, I am a Scorpio sun, w/ Uranus and South Nodes in Scorpio, Libra moon, rising, Mercury, and Pluto, so I love research/a good mystery and am very interested in people! 

Tarot card Tuesday- Tarot card Meanings for King of Swords, 9 of Swords, 3 of Swords, 10 of Cups, and 7 of Cups + Your Reading

Here's your 5 card reading for Tarot card Tuesday!! Pictures of the cards (from Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine's Angel Tarot deck) are posted on my Fan Page. :) We are having construction done in our house, resulting from frozen pipes a while back, so I'm having to take the baby upstairs for her naps. This means it is cumbersome to use the computer and posting from my phone has been much more feasible.  So, be sure to "like" my Facebook Fan Page so you can get the weekly reading sooner rather than later. :)

Current Situation - “King of Air” - SITUATIONS: You may receive valuable advice from an intelligent professional. It’s important that your decisions be fair and equitable to all involved. Don’t hesitate to consult a third party, if necessary, yet speak your mind with confidence. PEOPLE: A person who’s at the top of his or her field, especially in an intellectual area such as law, science, or business. Someone who’s an excellent speaker and is known for the ability to be objective and diplomatic.

Your Expectations - “Nine of Air” - Positive thinking is essential right now. Your own obsessive, negative thoughts are the true culprits behind the trouble you fear. Release your guilt, and realize that regret is a wasted emotion. Turn your attention to the amazing possibilities for the future, and leave the past behind.

Hidden Influences - “Three of Air” - Something has occurred that makes you sad. This may be a current situation, or something from your past that has lingered and continues to distress you. Trust that the sadness will pass and you’ll eventually see this situation’s purpose in your life. Take time to heal. Release painful memories and move bravely forward.

Advice - “Ten of Water” - You have a content and rewarding family life, and there’s great harmony among those around you. Your relationships are strong and trustworthy. You feel blessed and loved. Your needs (both material and emotional) are all met.

Outcome - “Seven of Water” - You may be faced with a complex decision, and it’s difficult to choose between the options available to you. Do the research necessary, or seek counsel from a mentor.

In summary, you are currently trying to balance mental and emotional aspects. You are thinking a great deal about emotional situations, and trying to give people the benefit of the doubt or are needing to do so. Current circumstances have led to you expecting the worse and losing sleep. Something sad has happened and reminded you of situations in the past in which you were also hurt. A recent astrological aspect with Chiron - the wounded healer- has people revisiting an old wound that keeps getting opened and thus feels raw. You are advised to remember that families are created and to enjoy the ones who matter the most. This is where your emotional (and material- matters of living on this earth) needs are met, and anyone else is just a person meant to reflect what your Soul needs to learn and know. You don't necessarily need to include them in future plans, at least with any attachment. Detach from the pain and drama from the past and enjoy the comforts of home. Journal, get creative, enjoy and accept the love that already surrounds you, and your heart will heal. The chakra that I was most drawn to in the outcome card (7 of water) was green, which represents health and heart healing. If you are feeling the need to speak to a councilor, follow that guidance from your Angels. Also, always check in with your Higher Self (through meditation and journaling) to know your true purpose and the best path to take.
