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.

Updated October 6, 2026: Wow, what a time to be alive, amirite? The economy isn’t the greatest; lots of people are unemployed and crystals and stones aren’t necessarily a product that people need right now. But for some reason, I decided – call it my Mercury in Capricorn – that it was time to bring the website and blog back. Call it a passion project, I suppose.

There are sooo many places to buy crystals and stones online, mainly Etsy of course or your local metaphysical shop in real life. But if you happened to search for something super specific and it brought you here, yay! I hope you found what you were looking for.

Welcome to our metaphysical crystal shop! The name of our shop is Metaphysical Vibes – we are an online only crystal shop based out of Los Angeles, CA.🌴🌞🌴

We love crystals so much that we made it our purpose to connect you with these wonderful mineral specimens, as well as to help increase your metaphysical knowledge and appreciation of the stone nation aka the mineral kingdom!💎

If you’d like to know more about us, you can visit our About Us page.

As you may already know, everything is energy – energy that vibrates at different frequencies. Crystals and stones carry that same energy on a subtle level – they can help us with our issues or blocks, also known as dis-ease; we just have to learn how to tune in to that energy. We do this through meditation with the crystal or stone of choice. The crystal can then pull or draw our dis-ease out to the surface so we can heal and release it.

Although we are enthusiastic about working with crystals for healing purposes, we don’t suggest that you rely on crystal healing solely; you STILL need to consult a doctor if you’re not feeling well. You still need to use some common sense. But a stone or crystal CAN and WILL assist you with energy healing, if you open your mind and heart. Thus the term ‘metaphysical’.

How did I get to this point?

I’m going to get personal here so feel free to skip unless you want to know more about me – Pia, the owner of Metaphysical Vibes.

In the years following my mom’s death, I sort of felt lost. My mom had passed away from ovarian cancer in 2006 and ever since then, it seemed as if I was always looking for something to help me make sense of my life. I wasn’t suicidal but at the same time, I wasn’t excited about living.

At first, the dark side of the occult attracted me; dark images inspired my art and the teachings of Anton Szandor Lavey made so much sense to me at the time since my mom always tried to push Christianity on me but just never fully clicked.

To make a long story short, I was exploring spirituality for the first time with my own eyes and ended up buying my first set of stones from a metaphysical store in North Hollywood in 2012. The descriptions they had with the stones resonated with me.

I also started seeking the magickal teachings of Aleister Crowley, Eliphas Levi and others; I started learning how to read tarot for myself via books and I kept collecting more stones and books from various metaphysical stores in the Los Angeles area.

I was definitely hungry for a different kind of knowledge so I started taking classes on crystals, tarot, developing intuition at House of Intuition in LA. My current knowledge is a combination of self study and taking classes.

I am not really sure why I started this crystal shop. But if you’d like to read more of my musings, you can visit my personal blog at Save the Savages.

And so here I am, forever learning and experiencing All That Is.

I hope you will check out the crystal shop and see if any one of them speak to you!💎
