THE MAGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN STAR AND STONE - CANCER, LEO AND VIRGO
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
Cancers need to feel secure. They keep their financial affairs to themselves. They map out their future in the smallest detail. They choose their partners with the utmost care and can spend a long time looking for the right one. But once they have found the right person, they look no farther. Most celebrate golden wedding anniversaries. Cancers change careers reluctantly, only when it’s clear that their current employment offers no prospects for advancement. They are guided by their feelings. Once they allow someone into their inmost circle, they will remain true to that person without reservation. It is, however, difficult for them to share their sorrows and anxieties with others. They keep their feelings bottled up and for that reason are prone to stomach and intestinal maladies. They can get so caught up in their private grief that they take refuge in a world of fantasy and daydream. They need praise and encouragement, or they can feel blocked. But surprisingly Cancers can also display considerable ambition. This can help them overcome the low self-esteem that stems from living in a world that values only money and position.
Cancer has a gentle soul. He can give himself others and cares for all growing things. The protection of the family circle is very important for Cancer.
Cancer can be easily wounded. If attacked, he retreats into his shell, rather than stand his ground.
The main gemstones for Cancer.
Emerald - Emerald provides Cancer with stability and alleviates mood swings. Its deep green reflects life’s meaningfulness. It absorbs negative vibrations and protects against them.
Moonstone - This gemstone teaches Cancers that one makes progress only by striving for the highest ideals. It forces them to stop daydreaming and to face reality.
Aventurine - Aventurine can bring Cancers peace in heart and mind. When caught in the turbulence of their powerful emotions, they can find solace and calm in green aventurine.
Chalcedony - The milky white, silver variety is the best for Cancers. It is especially helpful when they feel like retreating into their shell and can’t find a way to share their feelings with others. It also helps them fight off negative influences, so that when it feels like the world is closing in on them, they can regain their creativity and break free of the bonds that imprison them.
Jade - Jade gives Cancers the confidence to trust in their feelings. A bit of jade kept in the pocket as a touchstone will provide a sense of security in difficult situations.

LEO (July 23 - August 23)
Leos like to be the center of attention. They are charming and bask in the admiration of others. The sign of Leo corresponds to the sun, as does Leo’s character. Leos enjoy discussion and don’t shy away from arguments. Self-assured and full of vitality, they radiate optimism and energy. But they find some things hard to take, especially rules and regulations that hamper their creativity. Leos are usually found in upper management; they are fair to their employees. They ask a lot out of them, but their demands are always reasonable.
The Leo who has not learned to recognize his purpose in life can become overly dependent upon the admiration and validation he gets from other people. He can lose sight of compassion and understanding, particularly towards those he sees as standing in his way. Leo burns up so much physical and mental energy that he runs the risk of depleting himself. He suffers deeply and wants to be comforted and taken care of. Then he can return to claim his place in the spotlight. Leo’s natural charm and intelligence help him to quickly recognize his shortcomings, take pains to nourish the healthy aspects of his character and combat negative influences.
Leo loves to be the center of attention. His positive magnetic personality influences those around him.

Diamond - Diamonds are the gemstones with the clearest light. The diamond’s piercing rays remind Leo that true leadership - whether in personal or professional endeavors - involves service.
Chrysoberyl - Chrysoberyl is highly beneficial for Leos. It leads to improved relationships with partners and subordinates. It brings tolerance and harmony and fosters gentleness in personal dealings. It helps Leos recover their optimism during trying times.
Topaz - Pink topaz is the lucky stone for Leos. It fosters honesty, sincerity and fairness in the drive for business and personal success. It also gives Leos the necessary distance to think things over, so that they don’t become frazzled and lose their sense of proportion.

They are unfailingly punctual and expect the same from others. They will not betray their highly developed sense of duty and responsibility even if it causes them pain and suffering.
