My current collection of jewelry that I am creating is based on horoscopes. I love the power of healing stones and crystals, so I try to incorporate that into my pieces. There are many ways to select stones or crystals to work with for healing. The process can be as simple as selecting the one that I find visually attractive; to a more complex method of looking deeply a the sign and determining what issues I want healing for. In this article I will discuss astrological signs and the gems associated with them.

If you are drawn to astrology, you know that each sign has different character traits and challenges during a lifetime. Astrology is a complex science and many are only familiar with the simple newspaper style horoscopes. Using just the sun sign (ie: Virgo) is a very general way of categorizing character traits for an individual. Time and location of birth detail the traits. As a work up my new pieces I will  select a stone that matches each astrological sign and add other stones that will work with  specific character traits or issues.

For example, I just finished my Leo Warrior Wrap. As with all my wraps they are actually two or more wraps combined. Leo’s color is orange and one of it’s stones is Amber. I have chosen material and stones based off this and well as the healing quality of the stone. Amber is technically not a gemstone or mineral, but a fossilized sap from prehistoric trees that has aged over the course of millions of years.

Amber energy properties

• Brings a care free, sunny disposition
• Promotes good luck and success
• Dissolves oppositions

Healers use it for:

• stomach, spleen and kidney complaints
• joint problems
• teething pain in babies
