Crystal Star Oracle Interpretation

WE ALL HAVE TIMES when we struggle to get along with family, friends, coworkers, or business associates and, according to the Crystal Star Oracle, October may be a month that will try your limits in relationships. Saturn exerts its heavier energy of responsibility and duty on the 7th house of partnerships and agreements/disagreements. And when Leo energy is added into the mix it means that you will have to draw upon your creativity and will power to keep things going smoothly.

Fortunately there are things you can do to keep your cool, live up to your responsibilities and improve your relationships and partnerships. First, remember to stand back and count to 10 when you run into issues with others. Give yourself time to collect your thoughts before you respond so that you can respond in a more positive way.

Another thing that will help is choosing to reserve judgment in your interactions and negotiations this month. When we jump to conclusions or make snap judgments we can make difficult situations worse and tip delicate situations over the edge. And remember to keep a positive outlook. Responding positively with a good attitude and a friendly demeanor can smooth ruffled feathers, diffuse volatile situations and build better and stronger relationships.

You can you have some solid power behind you in this month’s color and stones.

The Color Therapy Card for the month is Red, a very appropriate color because it is representative of your tribe, your family, and your will to survive. The energy of Red will help you to overcome fear, connect you with your tribal self and give you the strength to cope with anything you are faced with. So this is a great time to splash some Red around your home and office. Maybe you can find a blooming Red Geranium for your front or back-porch, or a Red pot for your favorite indoor plant. A Red scarf thrown over a lamp shade will help bring the energy of Red into your home. Lying under Red light will help build your energy levels as well as protect you from discordant energies while improving your grounding.

Green stones are usually about self love and joy, and lovely Green Aventurine is no exception. Find a piece to carry on your body if possible as a pocket stone or a piece of jewelry. Aventurine has a soft vibration that will wrap around you and surround you with healing love energy and strong protection. It will also help you to balance your male and female energies and boost your ability to make the highest choices from a place of love, for yourself and for others. Aventurine will keep you balanced, help you with important decisions, and will enhance your creativity and problem solving skills. If you are in a position of leadership Aventurine will help you to find ways to creatively lead others on a lighter and brighter path with a bit of laughter along the way. Don’t leave home without it.

The energy of deep, dark, blue and white Sodalite will help you to make practical sense of your spiritual connection with all beings. Sodalite is a stone of rational thinking and clarity. Some may think that is not very spiritual, but it is indeed very spiritual to be able to see things as they are in three-dimensional reality and still remain connected to our spiritual foundations. So - find a piece that you can carry in your pocket or place on your desk at work. The grounded energy of Sodalite will assist you in accessing sacred wisdom and will also help you to find creative ways to generate unity and cooperation around you.

Snowflake Obsidian is a beautiful shiny black stone with white splotches resembling snowflakes, hence the name. Snowflake Obsidian is a very powerful and protective stone. It is excellent for grounding and can shield you against negativity and negative environments. This unusual stone also helps you bring issues to the surface to be dealt with. This can be very helpful as you explore your relationships with others and your willingness to cooperate in group activities. Meditating with a piece of snowflake obsidian in each hand can help you release old emotional baggage. Keep a piece handy in your pocket or on your desk and touch it often. Snowflake obsidian will bring you to better physical, mental and emotional balance which will be reflected in your daily life.

Saturn demands that we pay attention and do what we do our duty. This month your duty is to utilize your creativity and willpower to maintain and build better relationships and solidify shaky ones. You have the power to make October a month of healthy interactions and positive experiences.
