  Gemini signs tend to be very charismatic and have a way of making everyone feel comfortable. They are often the ones to make people laugh in a conversation and don’t shy away from inappropriate or taboo topics. The fastest way to annoy a Gemini is to tell them they are “boring” since they crave novelty and love making a fool of themselves especially when they play devil’s advocate. One downside to that can be their inability to have serious conversations about a topic without making a joke. Geminis process logical conversations much better, so it is often best to keep heavy emotions for private moments when it is more likely to get a serious answer. When looking for the best healing stones of Gemini, some options are better than others to support and stabilize their energy. Let’s explore some of the best healing crystals for Gemini.    Characteristics of Gemini - Strengths and Weaknesses   Date Duration: May 21st - June 20th  Symbol: Twins  Element: Air  Modality: Mutable  Planetary Ruler: Mercury  Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Geminis have an innate curiosity to explore, discuss and discover the truth - or your darkest secrets! While they share a planet with Virgo, these two signs process information much differently. Whereas Virgo needs time to process internally and can often appear judgmental, Gemini’s charm has a way of turning even the most awkward conversations around and wants to share their findings with everyone. Their love for communication extends to all areas of life, which is why they are often involved with hobbies that allow them to externalize their emotions and perceptions, like art and music. They are also highly intelligent and have a vast variety of topics that interest them. That means they are great to bring at pub quiz nights! When it comes to their weaknesses, Geminis can often appear impulsive or unreliable since they have a deep need for variety and crave freedom. As a mutable sign that can adapt easily to new environments, this may brand them as inconsistent while that isn’t always true.  Top Picks for Gemini Crystals Lemurian Seed Points   Titanium Aura Chips Mookaite Pyramids  What is the Gemini Birthstone?  Apricot Agate  Gemini has a variety of stones that respond well to its particular needs.

There are those of us who like to push ourselves into other things to distract from the grief itself and those of us who prefer to sit in solitude and reflect. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to grieving, we recommend listening to your mind, body and spirit, utilise self-care rituals, for some that could be meditation, listening or playing music, a long soak in the bath, a massage or facial, long walks in nature or simply sitting and reading a book. With grief the only right answer is dealing with it in your own way and finding what helps you get up and face each new day with strength and determination. People often say “time is the greatest healer”, whilst some aspects of that ring true, finding your own path to healing is essential and healing is a journey, with so many paths. Time doesn’t heal all, each individual must find their path and that is one of the hardest parts, to know what will help and to trust in the universe.   Only thing left to say is remember it’s ok to not be ok! And our inbox and DMs are always open to anyone wanting someone to reach out to to discuss further.  Love & Light, Laura    Related Blog Posts Want to learn more about how crystals can help you heal emotional or physical imbalances?
