Cult Victorian novel about a stolen Moonstone with magical properties  & the ROOM looks Cancerian, non?

The Moonstone is the Cancerian birthstone i.m.o. Some say it is the Ruby – these things are always so debatable but I am sticking with Moonstone.  One of its other names is Selenite – which comes from the Greek Goddess of the Moon, Selene.  I love that Moonstones are most commonly found in Sri Lanka, the old name for that place is Serendip…from whence we get the word Serendipity.

Like Cancerians, Moonstones shimmer & change with the light, the Moon-phase and their own mysterious inner alchemy. In India, they are revered for inspiring visions at night & they are considered a fertility aid in some parts of Arabia. Generally, they’re credited with aiding strength of intuition, fittingly, as that is also the key talent of our lovely Crab Peeps!

Secrets Of The Gemini Psyche

Wanting to buy some ghastly Gemini a gift? The pearl is their birthstone. And, as my Gemini mother & sister (!) have always reminded me, it is unlucky for anyone but a Gemini to wear pearls. This may just be their propaganda of course.

An ancient rhyme: “PEARLS for JUNE girls the precious wealth, and to crown it all they bring her HEALTH.”

This could be useful for anyone struggling with the Tao Of Gemini:

Gemini Actor Gina Gershon explains herself…

“Yes,” she says with a laugh. “For everyone I’ve ever lived with, it’s like the big joke: who’s going to come home today? I’m like a split personality. My face changes, my voice changes, my personality changes. If I’m talking about Boston or New York, you’ll notice my voice change. It’s bad; I have no personality!” Again she laughs. “What’s the animal that always changes color? A chameleon. I feel kind of like that. Because if they’re nervous or scared or they don’t trust someone, they have a different sort of camouflage. But as soon as they warm up to someone, they reveal their true colors.”
