Cancer: The Archetypal Mother (June 22?July 22) Birthstone: Moonstone

with the essence of who we are. It connects us with our feminine side, a receptive state rather than constant action: it can help us reconnect with a state of “nondoing.” This is a place that is nurtured by our soul and guides us toward wisdom and the unfolding of our highest capacities and resources.

We cannot “do” the things that are most important in life: we can strive for what we think is right action, but we cannot make it happen. When I look back over my life, I see that the most important events and turning points were not things that I had any control over. I have tried hard to control and to act, but in the end how my life unfolded wasn’t really in my hands; my life was directed by grace or guidance in action. The Rainbow Moonstone helps us to relax into that guidance and have faith in the grace operating in our life. It teaches us about the journey of life, which is not a problem but a mystery to be lived.

The Moonstone is a wonderful companion for our male friends, husbands, and lovers. It brings to males an element of the female spirit and helps them to connect more with their feelings without fearing them. It gives the warrior a heart with gentle feelings. Give the man in your life a big chunk of stone to carry in his pocket or to wear as a pendant over his heart.
