Crystal

I know I promised I'd write a list of my favorite signs, but as experiences rearranged my standpoints, a couple of those signs are on time-out in the corner with a dunce cap. I won't say any names *COUGH* Leo *SPUTTER* Scorpio... but you get the point. I'm hoping that the universe will deliver me a few new beings under these signs, just to solidify my opinion in either direction. Since it's the new year and many people make resolutions but at times fail to follow through with them, I thought I'd offer a little advice from my side of the spectrum. My most crippling issue is my pessimism which sometimes inhibits me from viewing the world in a positive light. I am working on making this blog less catty and more informative and upbeat. It's true that there are some astrological signs that I have clashed with in the past. But I want to use my knowledge to shape the future of my relations with them, rather than just discarding them as shitty.

I was first introduced to the power of crystals in 2007 after I left rehab and my family sent me to live with my godparents in Santiago, Chile. I was given a beautiful heart-shaped crystal by a very dear woman and she told me that whenever I had feelings of doubt or fear I should hold onto it and focus all of my positive energy on a resolution. I used it in several circumstances where I felt depressed and hopeless, and it worked like a charm. For each of my friends out there, I will suggest to you a special stone that is catered to troubles that I feel you specifically experience under your zodiac sign.

Aries - Bloodstone - Helps you to combat your quick temper and aggravation, attracts true love & romance, and purifies and detoxifies the body from chemicals or negativity.
