Virgo Zodiac Stone: Self Love and Rejuvenation

August 20, 2021

With Virgo season right around the corner, it’s time to take a look at the gemstone that helps to bring Virgos a strong sense of emotional relief and protection: the Carnelian.

July 19, 2021

Welcome to Leo season! Well, almost. The Leo zodiac month runs from July 23rd - August 22nd, but, honestly, I couldn’t wait until Friday (Leos are secretly my favorite, but don’t tell all my Pisces friends).

Their generosity and love leads them to be helpful, attentive, and caring of th ...
