THE MAGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN STAR AND STONE - ARIES, TAURUS AND GEMINI
THE MAGICAL CONNECTION
BETWEEN STAR AND STONE
From the earliest times, people in every culture have sought a way of connecting with the stars and discerning the effect they have on their destinies. According to astrological teachings the sign of the zodiac under which an individual is born has a great influence on his life, his soul, his character and his general health. Each sign has its own characteristic qualities; each corresponds to a specific area of the body and accounts for its strength or weakness. Particularly if one suffers from chronic ailments, one should look for gemstones that not only address symptoms, but also serve to support one’s basic personality type and counteract its weaknesses.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
Aries wants to be the first and the best and for the most part succeeds in it. He never loses sight of his goals, neither in his personal or professional life. Aries keeps his youthful spirits well into old age. He often begins an entirely new life in retirement, but only after determining that it will be to his advantage. Those born under the sign of the ram are strong-willed people and do not like to relinquish control. That’s why it’s hard for them to give themselves to others; they are afraid of feeling weak and helpless. Sensing their own weaknesses makes them irritable and moody. They try to cover up their dissatisfaction. So one has to learn to forgive their moody outbursts. Aries has many good qualities. He does not rake up the past and exhibits stamina, graciousness, a sense of justice and openness. Because of his open nature Aries can easily go too far: he can laugh at what others find offensive. But if he senses he has hurt someone’s feelings, he is the first to apologize.
With great enthusiasm, Aries will achieve his realistic attainable goals and can marshal tremendous resources to do so.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 20)
A happy family, peaceful surroundings, these are the most important things for those born in Taurus. Taurus will think carefully before acting. He has no interest in making quick or impulsive decisions but knows that everything in nature takes time to reach fulfillment. So he will give himself the time and leisure to allow his thoughts to find their proper form. But once he enters upon a course of action, he will persevere until the goal is reached. Those born in Taurus are dubious about change and innovation, and material security is always very important to them. And to avoid ever finding themselves in need, they will stretch each penny as far as it will go. For this reason they are sometimes seen as tight-fisted and penny-pitching. But that is not really the case. Taurus is a true friend and will go to great lengths to help someone in need. But only when it is really necessary. This sign does not crave the limelight. Taurus is happiest sitting in the second row. Good at problem solving, he will take his time and come up with practical solutions. He is naturally skilled at working with his hands.

GEMINI (May 21- June 21)
Gemini love new things, are deeply curious and will readily listen to others. They want to learn, sample and experience all that the world has to offer. They are interested in everything.

They can clearly express in words things that others can barely conceive of. They have a need to find a verbal equivalence for all of their experiences and impressions. Through their highly developed intellectual capacity, they have the ability to see all sides of a question. They rebel against narrow patterns of thought. This inner flexibility and freedom can also lead to ambivalence. Even when Gemini has concluded that a course of action is reasonable and profitable, he can change direction on the spur of the moment. Gemini will find success in any profession that calls for creativity, flexibility, openness and communication skills. There the many-sided Gemini will be in his element.
