“How much art and science, and what attention, what care is necessary to render the sun beams which are imprisoned in a tiny polyhedron of pure carbon, brilliant and sparkling”  -  Charles Blanc, Art in Ornament and Dress

The Moon and it’s phases has been a celestial guide to mankind since ancient times.  In Astrology, the Moon represents our emotions and is the ruler of Cancer. This natural satellite takes 27.3 days to orbit the Earth, and along it’s travels passes through different Moon Phases. Each phase represents an action step we can take to improve and heal our lives and manifest what we desire.

Crystals and gemstones have also been used for thousands of years as symbols of wealth, for healing, and energy work. Everything that we are and everything that we see is energy. We can align ourselves with the healing power of crystals and gemstones to improve our lives. Using crystals and gemstones with the transiting Moon further amplifies the energy of each Moon Phase.
