Rhodochrosite
Elements: Fire, Water
Chakras:  Anahata (Heart- 4th), Manipura (Solar Plexis, 3rd)

Rhodochrosite carries the vibration of love, it is a powerful emotional healer, working on a personal level by helping to release emotional wounds held within.  It is a stone that restores courage and revives the heart center.  It enhances creativity and play – vibrations from the seat of the will – the heart.  I recommend this stone for Leos under stressful aspects, or those with Sun (rules Leo) under stressful aspects, as it enhances the vibration of joy.

I grabbed mine yesterday.  It is small, knobby, and egg shaped with delightful patterns of pink and grey.  I choose my stones by instinct as I walk out the door.  I will carry one that resonates with me on that particular day.  Good choice it turns out as Mars Rx in Virgo is opposite Venus in Pisces.

Someone seems to be itching to start a fight over spirtual / healing modalities.  I have Mars on the 12th sign of Sagittarius, Sun / Uranus / Pluto on the 9th (natural house of Sagittarius).  For those of you unfamiliar with astrology ~
It all adds up to me being an open-minded, freedom – loving spiritual explorer.

I was awake very early in the am working and pulled this card before bed.
The shocking revelation – bolt out of the blue – enlightenment leading to freedom.

Followed by the 3 of swords, heartache, rejection, stormy weather for the emotions.

Mars will oppose Venus for the next 8 days
fighter vs. lover : which are you ?
I know which one I am.
