Known as the Genius Stone, oooh! Fluorite helps clear mental fog, enhance concentration and sharpen intuition, making it an ideal crystal for times of high mental energy, like this weekend’s Gemini full moon.

With Mercury finishing his retrograde at the same time as this full moon, there is also a call to look back to the past. Fluorite can help you recall past memories, sorting through the dust for gems your intuition have been preparing for you to access.

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, stirs up the winds of communication, curiosity and change. Fluorite energy helps you sift through Gemini’s flurry of ideas, separating inspiration from mental clutter, allowing only what serves your highest purpose to stick while releasing unnecessary mental chatter. 

Fluorite crystal’s stabilising energy also supports honest self-reflection while helping you see multiple perspectives clearly, a Gemini speciality! Allow it to help you ride Gemini’s creative winds without getting swept away.

 

HERE’s a meditation that works with fluorite crystal to help reflect on your journey…

 

 

Meditation for the Gemini full moon, 15th December 2024, to help you write a letter to your past self and reflect on your journey

 

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit with a journal or piece of paper and a pen. Close your eyes and take a moment to settle into your body. Breathe in deeply… and exhale slowly. Let your shoulders drop and your face relax.

Gently bring to mind a version of your past self. It could be you at a specific age or during a meaningful time in your life, perhaps a moment of challenge, growth or joy. Picture yourself clearly, just as you were then.

Acknowledge that this past version of you carried everything that led to who you are today, the lessons, the struggles, the joys and even the missteps. 

Continue to breathe for a few moments as you visualise yourself sending loving kindness to your past self. Remember how far you have come, and how proud you would have been to see where you are now.

Feel gratitude for your journey, knowing that every experience shaped your current path.

 


When you have finished, try writing a letter to this past version of yourself. Let your words flow naturally. You might start by acknowledging where they were at that time in life or reflecting on a specific memory.

Consider including:

  • What you wish they had known back then.
  • What you appreciate about how they handled things, even when it was hard.
  • Lessons you’ve learned that they helped you discover.


Take a moment to read the letter back to yourself silently. Notice how it feels to send love and gratitude to your past self.

Yellow aventurine crystal for manifesting abundance at the Sagittarius new moon, 1st December, 2024

Yellow aventurine is like a pocketful of sunshine, radiating vibes that uplift the spirit and empower the mind.

When it comes to manifesting abundance, yellow aventurine encourages you to take inspired action. It reminds you that abundance isn’t just about what you attract, it’s also about what you create.

That’s because the energy of yellow aventurine aligns with the solar plexus chakra, helping to encourage optimism so you can align your energy with the vibration of success, drawing opportunities, wealth and positivity towards you. 

And while this crystal energy encourages you to think big and aim high, it also keeps you rooted in reality, helping you listen to your inner wisdom and trust your instincts, guiding you toward opportunities that resonate with your true self. 

 

HERE’s a meditation that works with yellow aventurine to help manifest your goals…

 

 

Meditation for the Sagittarius new moon, 1st December 2024, to help manifest abundance through visualising your goals

 

As this meditation was chosen for the December Sagittarius new moon, you might like to incorporate the energy of your Christmas tree, if you have one! Use ribbons to write your goals on and tie them around the branches. You can also hang your yellow aventurine necklace on the tree when you’re not wearing it.

Stand before your tree, feeling its strong, grounding presence. Let the sight of it fill you with a sense of calm and connection. Allow it to invite you into a space of possibility and magic. Take a moment to admire its branches, each one ready to hold your hopes and dreams.

 

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, allowing your chest to expand fully. Exhale slowly, releasing any tension or doubt. 

With your eyes still closed, begin to imagine your dream as if it has already come true. 

Picture every detail, the sights, the sounds, the feelings that come with it. Let yourself be fully immersed in this vision.

See yourself thriving, joyful, and at peace in this reality. 

As you breathe, let this image grow brighter and more vivid, filling your mind and heart with its warmth.

If any resistance comes up, any fears or doubt, allow them to flow down into the ground beneath you where they fade away.

When you have finished, write your intentions on ribbons, and hang them from your tree. Be sure to spend some time journaling and practising EFT on any fears that arise.

You can practise this meditation daily as a way to connect with your manifestations and visualise your goals.

Rhodochrosite crystal for welcoming change at the Taurus full moon, 15th November, 2024

Rhodochrosite crystal for welcoming change at the Taurus full moon, 15th November, 2024

Not to be confused with last month’s Libra new moon crystal, rhodonite, which works by healing past hurts, rhodochrosite is a mood-boosting charm that encourages you to fall in love with yourself just a little more each day. Ahhh.

Rhodochrosite is the stone that supports you in turning fear into action, not with force, but with a genuine sense of calm and clarity. There’s a quiet power here, the kind that makes you resilient without hardening you.

When times are a’ changing and everything feels intense, which is exactly what this Taurus full moon is all about, keep a piece of rhodochrosite close by to infuse comfort, confidence and a gentle resilience.

This crystal energy can help bring you back to yourself, grounding you in compassion and strength so you can embrace your rightful powers and rise up to your true potential. YES!

 

Truth: Rhodochrosite is also associated with truth, and can help you speak about your feelings in a gentle manner. Perfect for the Saturn, Mercury energy pulling strings at this full moon.

Rhodochrosite keeps you grounded in love, yet it also sparks an inner fire, guiding you to take positive action no matter what lies ahead. In moments of challenge, rhodochrosite can help you face it not with clenched fists, but with the softness of self-acceptance. 

Meditate with this crystal when you need a reminder to treat yourself like someone truly amazing, which you totally are! It’s not here to fix you or fill any voids, but to remind you that everything you need is already within you, waiting for that gentle nudge to come alive.

 

Here’s meditation that works with rhodochrosite to help release fear of change and step confidently into the new…

 

 

Meditation for the Taurus full moon, 15th November 2024, to help release fear of change and welcome new energy.

 

Sit comfortably, holding your rhodochrosite in your hand. Close your eyes and take a few deep, steady breaths, letting each one bring a wave of relaxation over you.

Visualise roots growing from the soles of your feet, stretching down, reaching into the earth. Feel these roots anchoring you, linking you with the grounding, nurturing energy of nature. 

This is your safe space, a sanctuary where you can explore, release, and welcome change.

Gently turn your focus to the idea of change. As you settle into this thought, notice any resistance that arises in your body. Where do you feel it? Perhaps it’s in your belly, shoulders, or somewhere else entirely. Take a moment to observe these sensations, without judgement or hurry. Acknowledge their presence, noticing how they feel in your body.

Shift your attention now to your breath. With each inhale, picture yourself drawing in fresh, cleansing energy, allowing it to fill every part of you, revitalising and restoring. As you exhale, release any fears or tension surrounding change. See these fears dissolve into the earth beneath you, gently absorbed and transformed by the steady strength of the ground.

As you continue to breathe, begin affirming your adaptability and openness to new possibilities. Silently or aloud, repeat words like, “I am grounded, adaptable, and open to positive change.” Let these words settle within you, reinforcing your connection to the earth and your readiness to embrace whatever comes.

Continue breathing deeply, repeating your affirmations as they echo through your being. Feel the grounding energy of the earth beneath you and the cleansing flow of your breath. When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes.

Larvikite crystal for retrieving lost parts of yourself at the Scorpio new moon, 1st November, 2024

Larvikite crystal for retrieving lost parts of yourself at the Scorpio new moon, 1st November, 2024

Larvikite crystal is a unique stone located only in the ancient lands of Norway’s Larvik Fjord region, carrying a raw power that resonates with the earth’s energy on a super deep level. A member of the Feldspar family, larvikite is often mistaken for black moonstone or labradorite, likely due to the way it catches the light in flashes of silver and blue, but don’t let its chameleon vibes fool you. This is a totally unique crystal energy that is believed to hold a wisdom that goes beyond lifetimes. Oh my! 

 

Perfectly suited to soul fragment retrieval (the process of recalling lost parts of yourself) especially under this week’s Scorpio’s new moon, larvikite crystal offers an energetic embrace that says, ‘You’re safe here. Let’s find what you’ve lost.’

Larvikite and Soul Fragment Retrieval

Soul fragment retrieval is about reaching back into the shadowy parts of your own experiences, often to moments of pain or trauma, to reclaim aspects of yourself that may have splintered off. These fragments could be tied to events or even people that left us feeling lost or vulnerable. 

Scorpio, with its penetrating energy, gives you the courage to face these shadows without turning away. Larvikite, on the other hand, anchors as you navigate this deep territory, providing both protection and a clear pathway forward. Its grounded energy connects you back to your roots, helping you feel anchored while diving into realms of the subconscious.

If you feel like a part of you has been lost, perhaps a sense of childlike wonder, a spark of creativity, or a particular strength, larvikite is like a hand reaching out from the earth itself, steadying you as you reclaim these precious pieces. It helps balance the dance between the physical and spiritual realms, ensuring that you remain present and aware while gathering up what was once scattered.

Meditation to heal the inner child at the Aries full moon, October 17th, 2024

Begin by taking a deep breath, inhaling through your nose, letting your lungs fill fully. Exhale gently through your mouth, releasing any tension. Feel your body soften, becoming more at ease with each breath. Continue like this for a few more moments.

Picture roots extending from the base of your spine, reaching deep into the earth, anchoring you here in the moment. 

As you breathe in again, set an intention within yourself to call back all parts of your energy that may be scattered across places, people or moments in the past. Trust that this quiet intention will help restore your sense of wholeness.

In your mind’s eye, imagine yourself surrounded by a warm, glowing light. Your energy field. Now, repeat the words in your head. “I now call back all parts of myself.” “I now call back all parts of myself.” 

Visualise these fragments as soft orbs of light, drifting back to you like stars returning to the night sky. Watch them merge with your energy field.

Allow these pieces to reintegrate, feeling your aura grow brighter and stronger with each breath. A deep sense of peace settles within as each fragment finds its place.

Now,bring to awareness a place, person or situation from which you’d like to release yourself. Picture a fine, golden cord connecting you to this memory. Visualise yourself cutting this cord. Feel it fall away. Notice how your energy feels lighter and more complete. 

 


When you have finished, spend some time journaling on what came up during the meditation. Reflect on any emotions, insights, or thoughts. Consider if there’s anyone you need to forgive, whether it’s others or even yourself.

Inner child healing with rose quartz crystal

Let’s be real: healing the inner child is no small task! So much of it involves facing feelings of abandonment or not feeling good enough, issues that often started in childhood (or even past lives!) but follow us into our adult lives, showing up in our relationships and how we treat ourselves. Rose quartz can help remind you that self-compassion is everything. It’s all about forgiving yourself, whether it’s for thinking you weren’t enough or for carrying those old hurts for far too long.

What makes rose quartz so perfect for inner child healing is its ability to connect us back to a sense of innocence and joy. Often, in adulthood, we become disconnected from the parts of ourselves that once found happiness in the simplest things.

Love yourself

By working with this crystal, we’re reminded that life isn’t just about the pain we’ve experienced, but also about the joy we are capable of feeling. It encourages us to look at the world with fresh eyes, just like we did when we were young. This is crucial in inner child healing because we’re not just here to soothe the wounds; we’re also here to reclaim the lightness and playfulness we might have lost along the way.

As you meditate with rose quartz, especially during powerful moments like the Aries Full Moon, you create space for a more peaceful, loving relationship with yourself. You might feel inspired to dance, laugh or indulge in something that makes your heart sing, no matter how small. This is the crystal reminding you that your inner child deserves joy, and so do you!

Ultimately, Rose Quartz is a balm for the soul. Its energy cultivates a deep sense of inner peace, helping us to stop the war we so often wage with ourselves. It’s like a sigh of relief, a reminder that you are safe, that you are loved, and that healing is possible.

Meditation to heal the inner child at the Aries full moon, October 17th, 2024

Here’s a meditation you might like to try to help connect with your inner child. Breathe deeply. Let each inhale fill your lungs with a sense of calm, and each exhale release any tension or worry.

 

Bring to mind a memory from your childhood, one where you needed comfort but didn’t receive it. Allow yourself to gently step into that moment, observing it as if you’re watching a scene unfold.

 

Breathe deeply, simply allowing any emotions or thoughts to flow through the body, letting them pass you by.


Now, imagine your adult self stepping into the memory. Visualise yourself approaching your younger self with love and compassion.


Open your arms and offer your inner child a loving hug. Feel the warmth and connection between you. Let your inner child know that you’re here now, that they’re safe, and you’ve got their back.


Kneel beside your inner child and offer them the comfort and support you needed back then. Speak softly, sharing the words you longed to hear, whether it’s reassurance, love, or simply a reminder that everything will be okay.


When you feel the connection has deepened, take a few moments to just be with your inner child. Breathe, allowing the feeling of comfort and love to wash over both of you.


When you are ready, gently return to the present moment. Take a deep breath and open your eyes slowly, bringing with you the peace and healing of this moment.

 


When you have finished, spend some time journaling on what came up during the meditation. Reflect on any emotions, insights, or thoughts. Consider if there’s anyone you need to forgive, whether it’s others or even yourself.
