VISIONS FROM THE TAROT
jessica "ACCOMPLISHMENTS & ASTROLOGICAL FORCES"
By: Jessica

     February's energy pushed us to work through our struggles with the help of others and to keep moving forward despite feeling overwhelmed. If we have done our work and improved our team-building skills, the month of March holds many rewards for us, as well as a sense of security. The month begins on the Quarter Moon, so we may not feel completely satisfied with our work and projects until the New Moon on the 8th. This moon will pack a big punch, with a solar eclipse occ urring while the New Moon is in the sign of Pisces, helping us to resolve any personal issues that revolved around the desire to give selflessly and the need to  be read more...

GEMSTONE FOCUS

"AMETHYST & CELESTITE CLUSTERS"
  By: Divine Prince

     Two of my favorite mineral purifiers, amplifiers and manifestors in
the cluster family are Amethyst and Celestite Clusters. Amethyst
derives its name from the Greek word "amethystos" meaning "not drunk" or "not intoxicated". It is one of the favorite gem-quality minerals found in the Quartz family. Its color ranges from light lilac or lavender to the deep, rich, dark purples and violets...the latter (named Siberian Amethyst) being the most sought after, especially when containing flashes of red.

ritual The lighter lilac and lavender specimens of Amethyst have been nicknamed "Rose de France" by the gem trade. Experts believe Amethyst gets its color from trace amounts of Iron (other theories attribute it to Manganese or hydrocarbons) present during the formation of the Quartz. It is stated that "as much Iron as would fit on the head of a pin can color one cubic foot of Quartz." Once revered as a precious stone, today its abundance has made it inexpensive and commonplace...although read more...
AROMATHERAPY SPOTLIGHT
essential oil
     "DETOX & REJUVENTATE"

     As Spring nears, its a great time to detox the body from congestion and sluggishness that often occurs during the Winter season.  There are a number of essential oils that aid greatly in purifying the body systems including Cypress , Geranium , Grapefruit , Juniper Berry , Lemon , Orange and Rosemary.  To begin the detox add a few drops of any of these essential oils to a carrier oil such as almond, jojoba, or apricot oil and give yourself a full body Ayurvedic "Abhyanga" massage. 
     To start, warm the carrier oil slightly under hot water for a few minutes.  Pour the oil into the palm of your hand and add a few drops of one of the above mentioned essential oils.  Starting with the crown of your head down to your toes, spread the oil over the whole body gently to moisten the skin.  Let the oil soak in for a minute or two and then begin the massage using even pressure with the whole hand (palm and fingers) massaging toward the direction of your heart.
     Use circular motions around your head and joints and straight strokes on your arms and legs.  Use extra oil and pressure on the soles of your feet and palms of your hands stimulating all of the nerve endings.  Relax for 10-15 minutes and then soak in a bath of Epsom or Dead Sea salts. Repeating this regimen as often as possible encourages the elimination of toxins from the body, improves circulation, increases stamina and stimulates the lymphatic flow.  Relax and enjoy!
