Libra Sun, Aquarius Moon – Monday Oct 19, 2026

Today is Monday, October 19th 2026 / Pacific Standard Time

With the sun in Libra, and an Aquarius moon – you might be feeling more detached and concerned about humanity as I am. My moon is in Libra so I definitely desire balance, justice, harmony and beauty for all beings. But the shadow side of Libra moon is feeling indecisive and helpless about what’s going on in this world. Since my moon is in the 8th house I am also thinking about death, as people are always dying whether we are aware of it or not. And that’s what I’m feeling while typing this at work.

There are also the bigger transits that affect the collective as a whole, such as Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto is the planet of transformation, death, destruction, the desire for obsession and control. When it is in Aquarius (humanitarian, rebel, technology) – you can correlate this to current events on our planet, particularly in the United States and France, right?

It also feels selfish of me to focus on bringing this site back up and attempting to sell whatever crystals and stones I have left from when I started this small business in 2017. If you read my bio, I was inspired to start this crystal shop. I was naive to think it would replace my 9 to 5. It didn’t. I made money selling crystals but I also had expenses. I also had a friend pass away in 2019. I also had bots attack my site in 2020.

The reality is – our current administration has made everything expensive. Basic needs such as food and gas are pricey. So people aren’t buying things as much. Crystals and stones are not a need, they are a want.

So like Pluto, people who are selling things online must transform what they’re offering at a time where people don’t have as much resources for art, entertainment, spiritual growth and development.

You know what I’ve observed that people are really into right now? Astrology.

Although astrology is considered a pseudoscience – using the stars and planets that were present at the time of your birth – is really a study of yourself and your relationships with people over time (synastry).
And for as long as we are alive, we are going to be dealing with ourselves AND people. People young and old are using astrology to understand themselves, to understand relationships and to understand what’s going on in our world.

And so I hope to write more about astrology on here and how I am learning it from my perspective.

But the biggest truth is? I’m still forever learning.

For half my life (I’m 49 years old now) I only focused on my sun sign (Sagittarius). It was not until my late 30’s that I started to pay attention to my big 3 (sun, moon, rising) and not until I hit my 40’s that I barely scratched the surface of learning astrology.

So yes, I have A LOT to write about.

And I hope you will join me. My Mercury is in Capricorn by the way so the way I write about astrology is more practical and clear, I hope.

Crystals and stones that support Libra sun / Aquarius moon vibes:

Aqua Aura Quartz
Obsidian
Quartz crystals
Anything that looks like technology like Bismuth

Can an Etsy Witch Really Get You a Job?

The quote above is from Jessica Dore’s book called “Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance, and Growth”

 

The infographic I made above includes quotes from Jessica Dore’s book called “Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance, and Growth”. It says:

Help seekers get in touch with their values by asking:

+ What is most important to you?
+ How do you want to be remembered?
+ What kind of person do you want to be when no one is watching?

Use tarot cards to explore their questions and challenges rather than answer or solve them.

 

Since we are in living in unstable and desperate times where people with even college degrees and stable jobs have recently become unemployed, more and more people are turning to Etsy witches and are sharing their results on TikTok

What is an Etsy witch, you ask? According to Urban Dictionary:

An “Etsy witch” refers to individuals selling spells, rituals, and other magical services on the online marketplace Etsy.

So with that definition in mind, people want to know:

Can an Etsy witch really get you a job?

I am following this one guy whose made it his entire niche on TikTok – laid off from his job, unemployed while seeking the help of an Etsy witch. The results so far is that he’s been getting more job interviews after consulting this witch but not the job. The Etsy witch has stated that he won’t get a job until November.

And so we wait.

People turn to witches because they are tuned in to the energy of the universe. It doesn’t mean that they’re psychic (and let’s face it – the term ‘psychic’ has built a negative association with scammers; also the word ‘psychic’ can mean many things to different people but I will save this for another blog post). But if they have developed their intuition over time whether it’s through learning tarot, astrology, witchcraft, meditation, energy work, and countless other modalities that witches practice; a person could become psychic over time.

So once again, can an Etsy witch really get you a job?

The answer is a 50/50 chance, so maybe. Like with everything metaphysical, nothing is an immediate YES or NO. If the guy started getting more interviews AFTER he consulted that witch, that means she helped him direct his energy towards getting interviews. She worked with his inquiry, most likely grounded herself before she called upon hers as well as the inquirer’s own guides, masters, teachers & loved ones to assist her in providing an answer to his question. An invocation and then channeling.

And even though it’s a big MAYBE, we can still direct our energy on focusing on what we truly want. The guy unknowingly set an intention to consult an Etsy witch to see if he’ll get a job soon. Once you set an intention – whether consciously or even subconsciously – the universe starts to work in your favor. In this case, the unemployed lawyer started getting more job interviews.

My first tarot reading was over 15 years ago and I could relate to this guy because I was also seeking answers. I wanted for something to change but I had no idea what. In any case, the tarot lady gave me a general reading and I remember the first card she pulled was The Magician and she said “you already have the tools you need to get started” and that always stuck with me.

Conclusion:

People are always going to be skeptics when it comes to the witchy and metaphysical. But then if it doesn’t work, why are there SO MANY witches offering their services on Etsy? Just some food for thought.

Meme: When Your Chakras Are All Aligned

I made a meme for once! It says:

When your chakras are all aligned.

The image is of Thanos the Mad Titan who collects the Infinity Stones for his own selfish gain.

I’m going to attempt to relate this to the chakras. I know, I know; crystal healing, chakra healing and the wellness industry in general has become the butt of jokes; super played out and oversaturated with cringe-y BS these days but…

you can’t deny that in spite of fake or misinformed people, underneath it all is the Energy itself.

I’m going to write as authentically as I can, from my own words.

Why should you care about aligning your chakras?

In theory, you don’t have to ever align your chakras, it’s not like you’ll die if you don’t ever get to know the chakra system. The truth is, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Ever.

But from personal experience and existing in a physical, human body for 44 years now – I have to say that the energy we put out into the world is very important. Once you learn and master this energy, in some ways you become like Thanos – almighty and all powerful. You’ve mastered and worked with your own subtle energy – you can control it and you can manifest whatever is for you.

Read that again: you can manifest whatever IS for you. Notice I didn’t say you can manifest whatever you want.

Just because we align our chakras and heal ourselves doesn’t mean life is going to be perfect from here on out. The wellness industry has a tendency to focus on the love and light part and not so much on shadow work and integration. Understanding what each chakra does can help us understand our own nuanced energy.

If anything, you’ll keep learning and experiencing new things. In other words, you’ll continue to level up.

I’ve come to learn that our physical bodies aren’t really the ones running things – they’re simply physical manifestations of the soul’s biological shell. A beautiful shell that we occupy during our time here on earth.

It is only a small part of who we are.

Not aligning your chakras means that you or I will be more prone to imbalances – negative feelings of entitlement, anger, jealousy, depression, anxiety and the list goes on and on.

I want to add this excerpt from a book called Wheels of Light by Rosalyn L. Bruyere:

Our intention becomes very clear when we understand that, whether we are conscious of it or not, we influence our environment. For example, when I began to understand that my aura – my energy field – controlled whether plants lived or died in my home, I began to further see that my aura also affected the way my pets lived, the way my children lived, the way my neighbors lived. To have power is to have impact on everything around us. We can learn not to fear that impact but to use it – consistently, consciously, and responsibly – integrating it in a natural way into our daily living. If each of us were self-responsible for having more power, for carrying more light, more love, and more wisdom, then surely the planet would be a better place.

So how to experience your chakras? It’s not like they are tangible “things”…

You can start off with our 7 Chakra Stone Set and work your way to getting to know your chakras through the stones.

3 Reasons Why You Might Be Drawn to Rocks✨💎✨

People tend to ask the question “why am I drawn to rocks”?🗿 and then they end up here on this website.😊

That’s a really good question to ponder or ask Google, lol.

Ask yourself: why ARE you drawn to rocks?

Here are some ideas based off personal experience – of course take only whatever resonates with you:

1. Your intuition, your soul, higher self, higher consciousness – whatever you want to call it – wants to communicate with you through the stones.

It can’t seem to get your attention in this noisy, fast-paced world we live in so it’s trying to get your attention through the crystals and/or stones.

1a. Why would a stone want to communicate with me?

If you are drawn to the stones in the first place, then there is a mutual resonance happening; in other words – you are vibing with crystal. Just follow it and see where it goes. If you knew everything there was to know about our beautiful and mysterious earth, we wouldn’t be here to discover it.

2. There’s probably something you need from the rocks that it can only provide at that exact moment in time:

+ some kind of healing or spiritual insight
+ learning how to tune out the world around you to find the answers you seek
+ learning how to slow down and be still and most importantly:
+ learning how to listen to yourself.

3. In Native American tradition, everything on this beautiful earth is considered a relative – the trees, the plants, the animals.

The phrase “all my relations” originates from them, calling rocks the Stone People. Stone People hold ancient memory and records of the Earth. They have medicine and we must learn to listen in order to receive it. Read more about the Stone People here and here.

In other words, you probably have some deep listening to do.

But what about the meme about the rocks in the driveway…why am I not attracted to those?

Me: I want more crystals. My bank account: There are rocks in the driveway.

 

Those rocks are the mundane part of this world. We see them ALL the time so we just don’t notice them as much.

Our personal electromagnetic energy field also known as our aura is composed of light and color frequencies therefore we are attracted to the same.

Our souls love the light filled crystals and colorful, iridescent stones.

Bonus reason you might be drawn to rocks: depending on the element of your astrological sign – for example, all humans are a combination of fire, air, earth and water – you might be naturally attracted to rocks because you just need to be grounded and anchored. This is especially true for those who are fire, air or water dominant.

Conclusion:

There really are countless reasons as to why a person is drawn to rocks. This is just a few of them and hopefully gives you some food for thought.

Metaphysical Use Of Crystals & Stones For Modern Times

Angel Aura crystal skull and books from my personal collection

 

With everything going on in the world, it is very difficult not to find yourself consumed with negativity. The only problem is that allowing negativity to control you will only lead to more negativity. It’ll make you sick, angry, and turn your life upside down. To offset these issues and bring normalcy to your life, you’ll want to learn more about the metaphysical use of crystals and stones.

Certain stones can help you combat certain problems. Amethyst may be effective for negating hangovers and drunkenness. This is only one example. Below, readers will learn more about the metaphysical use of crystals and stones in modern times.

What IS metaphysics, anyway?

According to Wikipedia:

Metaphysics is a major branch of philosophy. It concerns existence and the nature of things that exist. Altogether it is a theory of reality.

Today the term metaphysics usually refers to discussion of aspects of reality which are beyond physics.

If you think about it, most of humanity’s problems originate from the mind and emotions, something we don’t see but experience all the time. You can see where we’re going with this and how metaphysics can relate to crystals and stones and how crystals and stones can effect mental and emotional healing.

You cannot ignore the metaphysical attributes of stones and crystals.

Energy Healing Stones

While there are other ways to cure ailments, many techniques come with severe side effects and serious repercussions. As a result, many consumers are looking for safer ways to deal with their issues.

Subtle energy shifts can lead to serious issues. By harnessing the power of crystals, one will be able to enhance their health and promote positivity in their life.

The Immense Benefits Of Healing Stones & Crystals

An Oracle Pull & Healing Stones for January 1st, 2021

It’s the first day of a new year – the sun is in Capricorn and the moon is in Leo. The year is officially 2021.

While I wasn’t intending to pull a card I did so on a whim to post on my Instagram page and ended up pulling a 1 – SEER card from the Nature Nurture Oracle deck created by Marcella Kroll. From the booklet this card indicates:

Omens, prophecy, dream time and wisdom

It’s a powerful time to pay attention to the invisible world and receive messages in dreamtime or meditation. Social media has a way of keeping us forever distracted – always on our phones, feeling FOMO, or just scrolling and looking for the next fix. I get it, it happens to all of us…myself included.

Owls have long been associated with wisdom, knowledge and being able to ‘see’ through the dark so it only felt right to add these two lovely stones to the mix – a Labradorite and a Lapis Lazuli. Edit: only the Labradorite is available for purchase.

Why did I choose these stones?

As you probably already know, Labradorite is a stone of magic and can help you ‘tune in’ to your intuition or psychic ability.

I want to stress that the word ‘psychic‘ doesn’t literally mean “mind reader”. You may or may not gain mind reading powers with Labradorite BUT you’ll be able to tap in to a deeper aspect of yourself and begin to ‘see’ people’s energy beyond the surface level. We are layered beings and accessing your psychic abilities takes time and practice.

Lapis Lazuli is a stone of ancient wisdom and royalty. Just looking at the stone immediately takes you to the night sky, with flecks of Pyrite and Calcite as stars. The kings and queens of ancient Egypt adorned themselves with Lapis Lazuli, even wearing it into the afterlife.

According to Melody, Lapis can be placed over the third eye to aid one in developing insight into ones own dreams.

Both stones have different shades of blue so they naturally vibrate to your 5th chakra. The 5th chakra is associated with our throat – it enhances communication ability and the ability to speak our truth.

Back to the oracle card. One of the definitions of ‘seer‘ is

a person endowed with profound moral and spiritual insight or knowledge; a wise person or sage who possesses intuitive powers.

So let’s be like the owl who is a seer. Observe and see your life and those around you from a higher perspective.

Crystal of the Day: Apophyllite with Calcite

 

I haven’t done a ‘Crystal of the Day’ blog post in a while. I haven’t written a blog in general for some time now, actually.

I’m not going to pretend that 2020 has been an easy year because it really hasn’t been.

All I can say is that this too shall pass and we can look back on it and say that we were still living well even in a pandemic.

If you can breathe, if you can talk, walk, see, hear and touch then you ARE living well.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to minimize people’s problems. I get that it’s not always that simple, but then again these 5 basic things ARE a necessity to living.

Although life has been strange and intense since the pandemic there’s still LOTS to be thankful for at any given day, like this stunning and uniquely structured mineral combo: an Apophyllite with Calcite. I call this an architect’s dreamhouse. Because every time I look at this mineral, it reminds me of a designer’s house. I envision this gorgeous structure to be built on a cliff overlooking the ocean with the Calcite part pointed down.

The upside down pyramid like structure is multilevel and full of light. And if you shrink yourself down to the size of this crystal, you can actually imagine yourself inside of it.

Metaphysically, Calcites are known for the following properties:

Calcite keywords: Insight, clarity, manifestation, forgiveness

Physical: stimulates metabolism and energy flow through the aura.

Emotional: encourages forgiveness, releasing anger, resentment, arrogance and envy

Spiritual: facilitates creating inner clarity, initiating multilevel awareness.

Now let’s focus on the rooftop of this amazing place. The “roof” is made of clear Apophyllite crystals of different shapes and sizes…just sparkly and beautiful, a literal dream.

This mineral can be seen in many ways; you could turn it the other way with the Calcite section pointing up and you will still see that it can be an architect’s house.

If you’re tired of earth at the moment, you can imagine that this mineral is some sort of spaceship taking you far away to another dimension. Where would you go in this vast universe?

Metaphysically, Apophyllites are known for the following properties:

Physical: supports infusion of spiritual Light, making the Light Body physical

Emotional: aids in rediscovering trust in the Divine after disillusionment

Spiritual: facilitates interdimensional travel, connecting with guides and angels

Apophyllites excel at attuning one to the higher-frequency energies of the angelic and interdimensional domains. Indeed, these crystals can serve as windows into many other worlds, and those wishing to experience interdimensional travel will enjoy working with them.

One video of this stunning mineral combo just wasn’t enough. So here’s another one so you can see and appreciate all the details of this crystal.

 

You can purchase this stunning crystal here.

Dark Healing Crystals & Stones for Dark Times

I mentioned briefly on my Instagram that if you’re not feeling safe or protected during this time – due to the virus and racism on top of stressful personal issues – job loss, which leads to less to no money, which leads to even more stress because bills can’t get paid, etc.

I am suggesting that you turn to the darker minerals such as Black Tourmaline, Smokey Quartz, or Obsidian.

I personally do not believe we’re in dark times, although it MAY seem that way. I’m also aware that people are struggling, angry and frustrated with the systems we live with. If anything, we are being stripped away of things that have been distracting us and keeping us in a state of illusion. We can now see the truth and who we really are as human beings.

Most crystals and stones featured in the photo are still available. They are:

2 Gold Sheen Obsidian spheres (SOLD)
2 Smokey Quartz
2 Obsidian
1 Smokey Amethyst (SOLD)
1 Black Tourmaline (SOLD)
1 Black Moonstone
1 Fluorescent Blue, 30 million year old Amber (SOLD)

Dark minerals are especially good with protection, shielding and transmuting our environments – including ourselves – from negative energies.

What are negative energies? Negative energy can feel like:

  • Stress
  • Not feeling good in your body
  • Anxiety
  • Fear
  • Anger
  • Hate
  • Arguing and wanting to be right
  • Judgements
  • Snappy or short temperedness
  • An ugly, traumatic memory from the past that keeps resurfacing, holding you hostage in the present moment.
  • Nervousness
  • Negative thoughts and statements
  • Regretting past actions and repeating them
  • Saying mean things to yourself

Too much stress eventually leads to physical manifestations of pain and dis-ease. It is perfectly okay to feel these negative emotions; allow them to be expressed and pass through you. You must learn to destress and find peace in the midst of chaos – your health literally depends on it!

Dark minerals help with grounding and manifestation; releasing feelings of not feeling safe or secure, releasing anxiety, stress, and fear.

While holding your dark stone you can take long, deep breaths and repeat the words “I am safe from inner and outer harm”.

I am safe from inner and outer harm.
I am safe from inner and outer harm.
I am safe from inner and outer harm.
And so it is.

Repeating this affirmation will program your mind, body and soul. Remember that your external or outer state is usually a reflection of your internal or inner state. As above so below, so within so without.

We are energy existing in a human body. And if energy cannot be created or destroyed but simply transformed from one state into another, then we have changed forms SO. MANY. TIMES. Our human existence may seem relatively short compared to the life of a crystal or a stone, but know that we are just as ancient. It would be overwhelming to remember ALL our lifetimes, it would make you crazy. And so we are “born again” into a new body, thinking we are “new”. We are in a constant state of amnesia until we have a so-called “spiritual awakening” which is really just a remembrance of who you really are.

Once you realize this then there is nothing to fear.

Of course you are still in a human body and so you have to adhere to human rules in society. So be considerate, wear a mask.

Also perfect since we’re in dark moon / new moon time.

Rest and dream up your vision of the future that liberates all people from their suffering.

You can find these minerals at Metaphysical Vibes online crystal shop.

Metaphysical Vibes’ Completed Sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project

My best friends gifted me a sketchbook from The Sketchbook Project for my birthday and it is 90% completed. Here is a video of it.

How does one draw the metaphysical? That was definitely one of the things I thought about a lot as I started to fill out the sketchbook.

Of course I had to include crystals, but also things from my imagination.

I thrive on creativity and imagination. This crystal shop wouldn’t exist without it.

Watch Jay Versace Explain How Crystals Work

Edit: unfortunately, the video has been removed. It was a really good video too but hey, I get it. We all grow and change over time…

Maybe you’ve been living under a rock these last few years? But if not then you probably know who Jay Versace is – he is a YouTuber, model, actor, comedian, music maker, you name it. He pretty much does it all and he’s quite good at it.

I love how he explains how crystals work in his own unique, fresh way and doesn’t take up too much of your time as this video is less than 9 minutes long. My attention span is low these days so unless it’s a subject that I’m really interested in, I’m not a huge fan of long videos. If you can’t get your message across in less than 15 minutes then you lose me.

Jay also uses the terms ‘vibration’ and ‘frequency’. I’m sure you already know the famous quote from Nikola Tesla:

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

So if you’re tired of the standard, boring YouTube videos explaining how crystals actually work then watch Jay Versace’s version. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
