Birthstone: Blue Sapphire  * Birthstone Color: Deep Blue

This beautiful stone was named after the Greek word "sapphirus", meaning blue, Sapphires have long been a favorite among priests and kings, who considered them symbolic of wisdom and purity. These gemstones are prominent among the British Crown Jewels.  You may remember that Prince Charles chose this as the engagement stone for his fiancée, Princess Diana, and now it is the engagement ring of Kate Middleton, Prince William’s wife.

Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum.  Corundum is found in every color of the rainbow, with red being designated as ruby and all other hues Sapphire, but the rich deep blue is the norm that people are looking for when they buy jewelry. They are found today in Sri Lanka, Kashmir, Thailand, Australia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, China, Madagascar, and the United States.  Large specimens of Corundum crystals are rare, although the 563-carat “Star of India” can be viewed in the American Museum of Natural History. 

In ancient times, Sapphires were thought to be a protection stone from envy, and even against poisoning.  Their color ranges from blue, white, black, purple (also known as Oriental Amethyst), yellow (known as Oriental Topaz) and green (known as Oriental Emerald).  This gem can be used to rid oneself of unwanted thoughts and brings joy and peace of mind via opening the mind to beauty and intuition.  Sapphires represent sincerity and faithfulness, and bring joy, happiness and good thoughts to the wearer.  Many use this stone as a stone of prosperity.

The Sapphire is second only to the Diamond in hardness, making it a durable gemstone for expensive pieces of jewelry.

ARIES - March 20 – April 18

Important changes in romance will help you feel so much better about yourself.  There is a great deal of good luck and blessings coming to you in health, career and formal education (including lectures, seminars, workshops, or training of any kind).  You have many opportunities from which to choose this month, but if you don’t choose any of these opportunities, they may pass you by and won’t be available in the future. Prosperity and abundance is there for you if you persevere and move towards your goals and dreams.  It is also a time where you should be somewhat careful about what is being said behind your back.  Not everyone has your best interest at heart, so if you hear of a rumor or gossip about you, you must confront it and deal with it in a positive way so that it will stop.  Otherwise, it may continue.  Also, enough is enough.  You are so careful to make sure that everything and everyone is happy, but you really aren’t taking care of yourself now.  Perhaps a little more determination about your goals and dreams and less effort on helping those around you would make your life easier and more fulfilling.  If you don’t help yourself, who will?


TAURUS - April 19 – May 19
Personal and business partnerships seem to be going in a very positive direction.  It seems that you are looking for a new job/career and better opportunities will be coming shortly.  You will get a new position (whether within your company or not is up to you), and you will be in a much better and supportive environment.  The opportunities are there for you to make many choices and once made, you will be surprised at how easily things will fall into place for you.  More money seems to be attracted to you now although you are trying to figure out many things about your financial security, such as how to save more money, what to save it for, how to make your finances grow and how to invest them with more return for your investment.  Make cautious decisions, and it would be appropriate to ask for the advice of a financial planner or CPA.  Even though you may think you know how to generate more income, it is always best to get a professional’s opinion as well.  Be sure to get rid of those who are draining your energy.  These are the people who are always asking for your time, energy, opinions, advice and/or money.  You know who you really have to help; the others have to be weaned away from you.  There comes a point where you are enabling others and they will be dependent upon you for a long time if you don’t set some serious boundaries now.

 

GEMINI - May 20 – June 19

Good luck follows you around now, so make some of the plans you never had time for in the past.  Happy times and celebrations seem to surround you. You feel lighter and happier than you have in a long time.  Many are also feeling as if they are moving from challenges from the past and getting much more stable and grounded now as well as perhaps going on a much more spiritual path.  Gems are tired of being too caring, giving, loving, kind, generous and honest and always helping others; they actually feel that it would be a nice gesture if others would return the favor from time to time.  It’s time to learn how to be gracious and just say “thank you” when someone wants to do something for you. You deserve to receive energy and appreciation now.  Your life will be easier and you will feel more energized as others are sharing or reciprocating their energy back to you.  Money matters are of a concern.  You are always afraid that there won’t be enough, but if you budget and only buy what you need and not what you want, you will see that there will be enough for your bills and for you to live comfortably.  Your workload and your life in general really have to calm down.  You are too uptight, exhausted, stressed and overworked. You need more balance and centering now, so re-examine what you can do to bring about this feeling into your life. Prioritize, organize and focus on what you need in your life so that the universe can help get what you truly need for you.

 

CANCER - June 20 – July 21
Make time for some issues that need to be dealt with or discussed. It is time to let some people go in your life, especially the ones who constantly use you without a word of thanks or appreciation.  You are going in a much better direction as long as you don’t get side tracked with others’ problems and anxieties.  It also seems that you will have a very serious issue with someone very close to you.  There is room for compromise; however, it may be something that needs constant compromise and both parties need to be committed to the resolution to make it work.  If things seem too overwhelming, then you have a decision to make as to whether or not to keep the relationship/friendship or to move on.  There is room to make things work out, but it won’t be easy.  Any relationship worth anything is worth giving it all you have.  You tend to be somewhat of a workaholic now and are very overburdened and nearly burnt out.  Focus, prioritize, delegate and just do what needs to be done now and let other things go for now.  You can always ask for help or really let some of your responsibilities go (or put them on the back burner).  There is so much joy and happiness ahead of you, so take care of yourself, especially with your physical and mental health.  Rest will be an ally this month so get as much as possible to keep yourself rejuvenated and refreshed.

 

LEO - July 22 – August 21
Change is on the horizon.  Finding out what you need to be striving for isn’t as easy as you once thought.  Work issues may be a cause for concern.  You seem to be looking over your shoulder at times which may mean that others do not have your best interests at heart now.  If you are seeking a new job/career, this would be a great time to start looking.  You need to stop procrastinating and do whatever makes you happy.  Creativity, innovation and your artistic ability should be called upon now to do whatever it is you need to accomplish.  You may also wish to divert yourself from all of your issues for some fun, relaxation and perhaps employ your creativity to bring you some peace of mind. Your mothering instincts will be tested this month, so stay calm and give the same helpful advice you always do without getting upset or angry.  Leos need some balance between giving in to their children and with setting clear boundaries.  Dealing with procrastination issues would be a positive step forward.  Prosperity is right in front of you as long as you try to see your future and take steps towards it.  Sometimes you are your own worst enemy by being so sensitive and emotional (although you don’t want anyone to know it).  Deal with issues head on, stop being the one to always give and balance your emotions a little bit more so things can go in a much more logical and intellectual direction.  Emotions make things foggy and you can’t see clearly, so use some reasoning ability in your decisions so a happier life will be easier to attain.

 

VIRGO - August 22 – September 21
Your intelligence and mesmeric personality will be getting you noticed on the job. You do work too hard and seriously concentrate on the task at hand.  But there will be other opportunities for another job, whether it is a part time job or home based business. You can do so many things to earn a living, but you have now picked your career and want to expand on it.  Financial security is your main concern and even though you do well on the job, you are still looking for more security and stability.  Virgos will be going in the right direction on the job, perhaps getting a promotion or more responsibility for more money.  Your intelligence will get you through any issues or concerns.  Love life seems to be picking up and you are very happy at this stage with your romantic partner.  If you are not in a romantic relationship, get out and try to meet people because good energy for relationships is just around the corner.  You will attract positive partners and be able to finally envision the future you want for yourself.  Great opportunities for clear sailing, harmony and peace are nearby.  Keep your focus on the goal and you will do well.

 

LIBRA - September 22 – October 21

Many areas of life may be affected.  You need to exhibit more patience, tolerance and try not to take things so personally.  You are going in a new direction with many new areas of life affected.  New challenges, new changes, new beginnings and going into directions you have always wanted are at hand.  More spirituality and enlightenment is coming into your life and in turn, you can assist others with this new found wisdom.  There is so much loyalty and fidelity of family and friends around you.  You are supported in all the most important areas of life. If you take a leap of faith and trust in Spirit, you can do anything you want to do and change anything that is not in your best interest.  Handling too many issues of others makes you feel overwhelmed and exhausted.  You do way too much for others and it doesn’t seem as if anyone is doing much for you in return.  Your goals and aspirations are right there for the taking, but you are bogged down with others’ responsibilities and obligations, so your progress to the future you want seems minimal.  Handle what you must to get yourself started in a positive position where you are the main character of your life again and not just a supporting actor.

 

SCORPIO - October 22 – November 20
Change is on the horizon.  You need to make some positive changes in your life.  Do what seems right for you and not what is expected of you.  New relationships are possible or a renewal of your current one also seems likely.  It is surprising that you have so much love to give to your family and partner – you are such a good soul.  Your emotions run deep and you appreciate the people who are close to you.  You may feel somewhat saddened by some issues in your family (or with close friends), but if you talk to the ones you love about their situations, you may come to some miraculous agreements about the future of life’s concerns and obstacles.  Money issues will start to go in a much more positive direction.  Taking care of family with finances will be less of a burden.  Make sure you make wise decisions this month since you can be a little too assertive when you want to get your way.  Remember, you cannot be right 100% of the time, although you would like to think so.  Try to take an intellectual path towards your future goals and move away from negativity, indecision, emotional responses, procrastination and doubt.  There is so much out there for you, but you really have to go after it and embrace life!

 

SAGITTARIUS - November 21 – December 20
Money concerns are very real; however, with some planning and preparation, you will be able to keep your finances in check. This is the time when you really have to think about what financial needs and goals for your future.  Don’t rush into things especially if they sound too good to be true.  Professional financial help is also advised.  The planning stage is very important to the outcome of your future financial security and success.  It would also be wonderful if you didn’t have to be everyone else’s therapist.  How many secrets do you need to hold safe for others?  There comes a time when you can’t be everyone else’s mother and you have to take care of yourself and those you love.  Let others find someone else to bother.  You should be concentrating on your own life and goals now.  Balance seems to be the key to success for you now.  Having fun with those you love is therapeutic for all of you.  You need to be surrounded by those you love and in return you will blossom into a butterfly that will fly to new heights and get all of their dreams.  Prioritize your decisions, stop procrastinating and take the appropriate risks you need to move forward.  Emotions are good when they are positive, but any unsettling emotional issues you have need to be settled so you can move forward in a positive way.

 

CAPRICORN - December 21 – January 19
Romance can be a bit shaky at times.  You must determine if the one you are with is really the one that makes your life complete or are you with your partner because of convenience or habit?  There are also issues with money this month.  Caps will do well, but you may be thinking about when you had more or when you liked your job better in the past.  Procrastination cannot continue. You need to make some delicate choices so you must make the best decisions that you can for your future and for those you love.  Your intelligence tells you to deal with things one way, but emotionally, you should be prepared to think in a different frame of mind to get to the bottom of some issues.  Home life seems to be one of those issues.  Making yourself more available to the possibilities of the universe will bring in so much happiness and joy which will help you move forward quickly.  Looking at life from a different perspective is helpful now since you may have some old fashioned ideas about how things should work or how life should go.  Give up some of your control so that other energies will flow more evenly into your life and balance all around you.

 

AQUARIUS - January 20 – February 18

Family issues need to be attended to.  You are always the one who compromises and this takes a toll on your health.  Many resolutions will come to you this month and you will feel happier knowing that you stood your ground and in the end, you won on your terms. Many things that you have wished for will start appearing in your life.  You will be satisfied with everything you now have and will try to protect it so that you will never be without this feeling ever again.  Aquarians are setting more boundaries and limits so that others do not take advantage any longer.  Much love, happiness, prosperity and joy will be coming into your life as well as self-confidence, self esteem and inner peace.  You will also feel a sense of guidance from Above and if you go with your gut (or first) feeling or impression, you will be led in the right direction for an encouraging future.  Security of your finances is on your mind, but with planning and budgeting, that issue will be resolved quickly.  Worry brings about what you worry about, so if you continue to worry about making ends meet, you won’t be able to do that, etc., so think in a more constructive manner and all will be there for you.

 

PISCES – February 19 – March 19
You are very sensitive and somewhat emotional this month.  Try to think about things in a more intellectual and logical manner so that you are not overwhelmed or stressed.  Be sure to at least examine any gifts that are brought to you by the universe.  You can check out any opportunity to see if it’s right for you or not, but don’t let them just pass you by without looking into them. If you do, you will eventually realize that you let something go that would have been in your best interest.  New adventures are on the horizon including trips and meeting new people in your life.  Finances do not seem to be the main concern at this point since they will work themselves out, but believing in yourself and your dreams are very important things that need to be taken into consideration.  No dream is foolish if you want it.  Try not to be vulnerable, innocent, naïve and gullible – be weary of people who seem to be giving you something for nothing. Take care not to overburden yourself with others’ issues and problems.  If you do, you may not have the time or energy to move forward to your goals and aspirations.   Take a leap of faith this month to do whatever it is you feel you should because this is the direction you are supposed to go.
