The other day I wove my way to the table where we make jewelry and picked up a stone. I sat with it. Turned it over in my hand this way and that. Looked under the microscopic light and reflected on the majesty of it. The uniqueness of it. The power it holds in rawness and sweetness. The beauty that is felt and never-ending breathing inside of its humbly strong matrix. And I said, "I am so sorry." I apologized to the stones because I have been feeling inner turmoil and chaos in my body, which has led me away from sitting at the table and just being with these treasured relics of time.
When the moon and the sun are "facing" one another, the light from the strength of our brightest star can be cast over the near side of the moon facing Earth where we stand and look up. We call her Full.
Full moons illuminate what is asking to be seen, so that maybe that thing can be recognized or acknowledged, and then digested for deeper meaning making and healing.
I sat and stared until the stone told a story. We can sit with the moon bright and big or even black and blue and wait for a shred of peace to be revealed. Same goes for all symbols old and new. Here below are a couple that pulled me in on that powerful full moon....
The Sabian Symbol (aka channeled psychic messages for every single degree of the zodiac- all 360 of them! I love them!) for the Full Moon at 29 degrees Capricorn (ruled by Father Saturn and conjunct Pluto-planet of transformation, power, re-birth) =
Directors of a Large Firm Meet in Secret Conference. "This Symbol shows meeting with others in order to lay out plans; to have “Secret” meetings of people, people that are often VIP’s in some way or, at least, in charge of decisions or governments or empires. The “Directors” meet, they conference or just conference call, exchange views, ideas, gossip. There may be decisions to be made or plans to be laid out. Do you make all your decisions on your own, or do you need help? You can often call on the relevant knowledgeable friends or authorities, as you’re bound to know them or how to meet them, and you’ll iron out the details. Sometimes, however, you may feel shut out by those “in charge”. Masterly control. Sharing innermost secrets. Confidential information. Big guys. Calling the shots. Governments and secret spies. Strategies. Having a say. Councils. Doors."
Opposite the Sun at 29 degrees Cancer (the sign ruled by Mother Moon) =
A Daughter of the American Revolution. "This Symbol shows the ability or the need to stand up for an ideal or a situation that demands your involvement. This could be about political or social revolution, or fighting to change the status quo. Relying on old traditions that were, in their day, radical and transforming, may no longer work. The difficulty is that these traditions are more predictable, conservative values that may no longer seem relevant to today’s needs and aspirations. Despite your inner feelings of modern freedom, you may come up against those that are more conservative and unmoving. Being bound by social conditioning. Leading the charge to break down the barriers of tradition. Sacrificing oneself for the larger picture. Wanting change. Fighting the norm."
I ruminated with these symbols in complete awe of how incredibly prophetic? wise? synchronistic? in tune? they were to what is playing out on the world stage, namely in the country I live in.
I reflected on the powerful ways in which the symbols and stones we sit with are so incredibly magically intertwined with what is falling away around us, and what is being born from within us.
An invitation for all of us to take these moments out of busyness to be with the voices of nature.

After sitting with and reflecting on....listening and learning...we co-created some new stone songs.
Honoring this Massive Collective Shift with New Symbolic Pendulums and Garland-esque neck crowns. May they serve as portents of your power to envision and build from the very place you are right now.
Garland Neck Crowns woven of blood orange/ruby pink sapphires, and diamonds - a legacy of love. Orange and lavender sapphires strung with mini pearl seeds and a cellular ocean wave jasper. Ruby star sapphires and the rarest peach and orange toned marigold sapphire strandlet. Like candy for enhancing the joy factor which gets our creative juices flowing.
All of the stories the stones shared are in their write-up descriptions online and we also have a Gem Glossary for support in picking the mineral meant for you in this moment.
SIDE NOTE: Black Tourmaline is an incredible stone if you are calling in energetic protection from the noise and assistance warning off excess EMFs.
