Gazing in to the stars with Sara
November can be a hard time for some people. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder and this can so often leave you feeling a little down and lacking in energy. If this is you, then here are some crystals that can help you to overcome the negativity.
Do you feel a little depressed? Try smoky quartz or amber. Both are known for their ‘feelgood’ qualities. Do you find you are affected by the moods of those around you, so that if your friends and family are a bit low then you feel that way too? Hematite can help you to deflect the negativity, Black tourmaline can also help, although can be harder to get hold of.
Whatever crystal you decide on, you will need to perform a cleansing ritual in order to activate its powers. There are four steps to this:
1/ clean your crystal, carefully, using a dry brush.
2/ next you will need to cleanse your crystal, in order to remove the negative energies of anyone else who has handled it. For this you need to bathe your crystal in a solution of warm water and salt. (Soaking the crystal for7-10 hours is normally sufficient).
3/ recharging the crystal is the next step. For this it will need 4-6 hours of sunlight to restore the yin-yang balance.
4/ activate your crystal. For this you need to simply spend time with it. Hold it. Gaze at it. Focus on it. Sleep with it even. This is your chance to ‘bond’ with your crystal.
Here is what you can expect for the coming month. By the way, don’t forget to use your mantra word. This is a word that you should repeat silently to yourself whilst meditating and focusing on what you want to achieve. I would encourage you to do this daily; even five minutes a day can bring the most amazing results.
Capricorn (22 December-20 January)
It’s time to stop caring so much about what other people think and spend time doing whatever it is you want to do. You have some amazing opportunities this month, if only you can manage to keep yourself open to new ideas and don’t let other people’s negativity influence you.
Mantra word: delicate
Aquarius (21 January-19 February)
You may find yourself getting more and more frustrated when everything seems to be taking so long to happen. Try to be patient. An amazing opportunity is about to come your way, possibly through a new friend or colleague. An older woman, possibly an earth sign, may bring something good into your life.
Mantra word: ginger
Pieces (20 February-20 March)
You need to be very focused this month. Too often you give in to the temptation to procrastinate and then find that some wonderful opportunity has passed you by. Seize the day!
Mantra word: understand
Aries (21 March-20 April)
Friendships are well-aspected this month. Maybe this is something you have been neglecting lately because you have been so busy with other things. You need to be open to new possibilities and you may find a new friendship offers you a new outlook on life.
Mantra word: value
Taurus (21 April-21 May)
You sometimes spend too long dwelling on past mistakes and fretting about things you cannot change. Now is the time to put the past behind you. This month is well-aspected for change so now is a good time to cut the ties with the past. Learn from the experience and then move on.
Mantra word: satin
Gemini (22 May-21 June)
You need to pay attention to your health this month. Maybe you have been working too hard or maybe burning the candle at both ends and partying too hard too. This would be a good month to join a gym, take up Salsa dancing or do something else that you enjoy to keep yourself fit.
Mantra word: honour
Cancer (22 June-22 July)
Possibly you feel that your life is a little dull at the moment and all you do is follow the same routine. Things are about to change though, provided you are open to accepting that you need something new to spice up your life. Make sure you don’t neglect the people who are most important to you.
Mantra word: resonate
Leo (23 July-22 August)
You should soon start to reap the full benefit of all your recent hard work. Beware of giving in too soon on a project you have been having difficulties with; this is definitely the month to see things through to the end.
Mantra word: thaw
Virgo ((23 August-21 September)
Money is looking very favoured in your stars this month. A new business opportunity or special friendship should come your way, provided you are ready to take the chance. You should make certain to explore every opportunity that comes your way.
Mantra word: treble
Libra (22 September-22 October)
Follow your instincts this month. You are at your most intuitive right now, so if something feels right then just go with it. Similarly trust your gut instinct if someone seems to be acting suspiciously, particularly around the middle of the month.
Mantra word: believe
Scorpio (23 October-21 November)
This month should be packed full of wonderful opportunities to enjoy your life to the full. Make sure you take care of your health so that you are able to enjoy all that this month has to offer. Don’t let other people’s negativity ruin your enjoyment.
Mantra word: fraternity
Sagittarius (22 November-21 December)
You need to spend some time this month thinking about what is really important to you and stop wasting your energy on stuff that doesn’t matter. Accept the stuff you can’t change and take advantage of every offer that comes your way.
Mantra word: support
