Moon Crystal: Okenite Intuition Crystal: Kyanite

Your moon crystal is a very special crystal, as most stones and crystals are to be worn or held to receive their vibrations; Okenite is not to be touched or carried, it is best to be placed on your bedside table and let it do its work while you sleep. Okenite connects you with higher energies and helps you learn your souls lessons.

Moon in Virgo are kindhearted and caring, with integrity, great common sense, a sound memory and very intuitive. You love to be of service and are great with organization. Creative energy is your long suite and you are able to express yourself through your creative energy either with art or crafty things. Wear or carry Blue Topaz as it will balance out your tendency for extreame service, it will keep you from being at the complete disposal of others but still be of service. This crystal also helps you carry out your aspirations without giving up your need to be of service.

Peridot will assist you in being kinder to yourself and helps to relieve another one of your characteristics of trying to figure out everything right down to the core. You can tend to be a workaholic, for this you can use Azurite to release stress and to balance out the mind and emotions on the body.

You can tend to be fearful of criticism and Citrine can assist you in being less sensitive and helps you to be open to constructive criticism. Kyanite is great for encouraging your intuition as it clears out any illusions, you need to know that your intuition is pure and this brings that clarity. Use Chrysoberyl to attract your creative energy and attract your creativity to you, you will find that the creative vibes will just flow to and thru you when you carry this crystal.

While the concept of pet astrology may seem odd to many people, there are many people who believe that the date of birth of your pet, related to astrological signs of the planets, the sun, and the stars, have a significant impact on the basic behavior and mood of their pets. There are particular character behaviors that are associated with each zodiac sign for pets. These include all of the following:

Aries: Aries pets are known to be very active and also hypersensitive to the environment around them.

Taurus: Taurus pets seem to have a passive nature normally, but if they are ever caught in a fight where they need to defend themselves or family members, they will not give up a fight.

Gemini: Gemini pets tend to be extremely intelligent, so they are usually very easy to train. But their intelligence also means that they can require a lot of attention, and always need to be in the company of their owners.

Cancer: Cancer pets are extremely sensitive. Because of this, when they get attached to a person, they are loyal to that person for life.

Leo: Leo pets tend to be very independent and almost always end up leading the pack. These pets will be more difficult to train, as they won't want you to take the role of leader. Be persistent, and the Leo pet will eventually succumb.

Virgo: Virgo pets have a multitude of wonderful characteristics and behaviors that make them perfect human companions.

Libra: Libra pets tend to be extremely easygoing. This means they will make fantastic family pets for families that aren't very active. Unfortunately this also means that Libra pets are typically somewhat lazy and eventually get overweight without being forced to exercise.

Scorpio: Scorpio pets are extremely possessive of their owners. While this typically makes for an extremely loyal pet, it can also become a problem if the pet believes their owner is being attacked and they aren't. They can be overprotective at times.

Sagittarius: Sagittarius pets make great pets because they are both fun loving and very intelligent. However, their energy level can be difficult for families that aren't used to active pets.

Capricorn: Capricorn pets tend to remain very young at heart, and remain very playful even into their old age.

Aquarius: Aquarius pets are extremely intelligent, but for some reason that intelligence can come across as a level of stubbornness that makes them appear ill-tempered and sometimes difficult to handle.

Pisces: Pisces pets are very introverted and extremely gentle. However, their sensitivity means that they can easily sense the moods of their owners. This pet is perfect for people who are naturally calm, but not so good for people who can be very emotional.

Birthstone: Cat's Eye or Tiger's Eye Abundance Stone: Tiger's Eye

Leo is a sun sign that has many choices of birthstones, what all do have in common is that they all are yellow crystals which reflect your ruler the Sun. You can use either the Cat's Eye or the Tiger's Eye, they both work the same for you, you can use one or the other, you should wear it on the right side of your body to get the most benefit.

The Tiger's Eye has many benefits for the Leo Sun Sign, it helps constructive manifestation regarding your strong will and to use your power wisely. You want your power to be for self empowerment rather than power over others and Tiger's Eye facilitates this. It also helps you see what you wish for and what you really need, and it also helps you develop your creative abilities.

Leo's have issues with pride and never like to admit to faults, you can use Kunzite along with Tiger's Eye to help balance this out and bring about humility which makes you more pleasant to be around.

Once wounded or have emotional hurts you tend to hang onto them, which creates the wounded child syndrome in you, along with this you do not hide your emotions and you can tend to air them freely and speak frankly about them, which shows up as very strong emotions to others. You can use Rhodochrosite or Rose Quartz to balance this out.

Leo's physical areas are the heart, circulatory system and the lower back. If you have lower back pain, it could be related to sexual frustration and Ruby will release this tension and you can use Carnelian for muscle spasms. Bloodstone is good for the circulatory system and Rhodochrosite is good for the heart. Leo's tend to work and play hard and Golden Topaz releases any exhaustion and brings back your energy, it should be worn most of the time to find balance in this area.

We always ponder a soon-to-be-born child's past lives and how we knew them during the pregnancies of friends and family members.

This past June, our sister Meg gave birth to her first child, a healthy baby boy, and we had fun perceiving insight about him on a spiritual level before his arrival.

During her pregnancy, Meg and her husband Jeff couldn't agree on a name that felt right to both of them. She asked us if we would tune into the baby's soul and if possible, find out what name the soul liked. We told her that it's better to remain open and wait for the right name to come to them. It usually does at the right time. Meg and Jeff were still undecided about a name three months before her due date, so at her request, Stephen tuned into the soul, but was only "given" the initial of "J" (the baby's middle name was undecided until after the birth and this caused quite a bit of stress for Meg and Jeff; it did end up starting with the letter "J") and an image of the full name in a gift wrapped box, which was to be revealed at the right time. He then perceived Meg and her unborn son together in a Native American lifetime, and the child at eight years old in this life, with darker skin (Jeff has very light skin and Meg has our family's Italian, darker skin, and Meg was hoping the baby would have her darker skin tone) and quite tan because he played a lot of soccer. He also perceived some suggestions from a spiritual guide to help Meg sleep better during her pregnancy.

Years ago, Scott perceived Meg as a Native American woman in southeastern America. Later, after she connected with Jeff in this lifetime, he saw Jeff as an explorer from Europe who traveled to America; we believe Meg and Jeff were together in that lifetime too. Perhaps they were also with their new son back in that lifetime, as related to Stephen's vision of Meg and her son together as Native Americans.

About 4 months into the pregnancy, Stephen was falling asleep one night and was in that in-between state of consciousness where he often perceives valuable insight. Meg came to his mind, then a man dressed like Davy Crocket holding a "musket." Immediately he thought, "There's Andrew." Later when Stephen told Meg what he had "seen," she told him that Jeff's great grandfather's name was Andrew. We wondered if her baby was him in a past life. A few days later, before she had heard about what Stephen perceived, our other sister Amy had thought of the name Andrew for the baby as well.

At about noon on a beautiful June day last month, we received word that Meg was in labor and had gone to the hospital. After hanging up the phone, Stephen had a spontaneous vision of the baby, in soul form, dressed in a very expensive suit, sipping fine scotch on the rocks in a crystal glass and smoking an expensive cigar in the lavish living room of a mansion. It seemed he was in his own personal, spiritual "green room" backstage before his debut, and this other-dimensional place the soul had created for the occasion, we believe, was quite like one of his previous, satisfying incarnations. Before making the plunge and being incarnated again he wanted to relax and live it up. Stephen also sensed that as a soul he has been "around the block" many times.

Coincidentally, Scott happened to skim through a financial news article on the morning of the birth that included a mention of an early 1900's NYC banking tycoon. The article featured a photograph of him (bigger guy dressed in a suit, mustache, cigar). He thought of Jeff (Meg's husband) because last year Stephen had perceived him living a similar past life, and Scott had a feeling the soul of the baby was there too. Use our Past Life Regression audio to perceive your past lives and how you knew others long ago.

As soon as we knew the possible window of birth time we of course checked the astrology and numerology. We noticed that an earlier, rather than later, birth time that day would symbolically include a higher amount of beneficial karma, as seen through the considerations. Unknown to each other until later, we both sent out messages to the unborn baby of this notion, in case speeding up the arrival time was part of the destined plan.

An hour later they received word that the baby was breech, and a c-section would be done immediately, even though the nurse swore she thought she saw the head when they checked the first time.

Since natal birth data reflects who the soul is, where they have been, and where they are going, perhaps the soul appreciated our telepathic messages, but would have said this to us if we could have heard him: "Thanks guys, I already know. It's part of the plan that I would be born earlier rather than later. As you know, nothing is by chance."

When you first look at these 3 signs they seem to have nothing in common, Aries likes to get things going, Taurus would rather keep them as they are, and Gemini likes to talk about them. They do have 1 thing in common. Like their season spring, the season of new growth & new life, these three sings are all about creating the new. They are the ones onut there making things happen. And now a little about each sign.

Aries: The Ram (March 21 to April 20)

Aries is the first sign on the zodiac, and being an Aries myself, let me tell you it's no accident that we are first. Hell, if we were'nt first we would just have to rearrange things & make us first! Aries are pioneers, daredevils, we are the people that never say "No". Being the first cardnial sign, Rams are unstoppable. We want to be where the action is and we will do whatever we can to be the first ones there. Just a little warning, stay out of an Aries way; or else you will get run down. No on has a stronger will than an Aries.

Aries is the only fire sign with the cardinal quatlity, this is why Aries like to start things but never finish them. Aries see starting of something new as "fun" but when it comes to finishing it, it is no longer "fun", so the Aries will pass it off to someone else. Other cardinal signs are, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, these signs start of each season and are the signs of beginnings. More on these signs later.
