Capricorn Garnet

By her who in January was born
No gem save garnets shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.

Why is the garnet the stone or gem for the zodiac sign Capricorn? Was it just a way for the Jewelers of America to bring business in during the cold winter months?

Tiffany & Co created these poems in the early 1800’s but the truth is that cultures have been using stones for ceremonies, important dates, and medicine for years. The bible talks about these stones being used on breastplates and as cornerstones of new buildings.

So why the garnet? It’s said that garnets are connected with the blood stream. The stone is also used to protect the wearer from nightmares and offer guidance. Garnets are long lasting durable stones.

Can you see why the garnet would be associated with the zodiac sign Capricorn? Are they not fierce, long lasting, and durable friends who just seem to be grounded. What better person to give advice than someone who is grounded and stable.

I hope that you liked this information about the zodiac sign and the Capricorn garnet. I’ll be back later to talk about the other zodiac stones and post a few astrology natal charts.

Till then be blessed during your day.

That title sounds dangerous. I guess if you tapped into the Scorpio’s dark side it could be dangerous to deal with this zodiac sign. A couple of days ago, I talked about the different flowers that are associated with each astrology sign.

 Since it’s the season of Scorpio birthdays I thought I would start by explaining the fun facts surrounding the flora and fauna of the Scorpion.

 Just for a recap, the flowers and plants associated with the zodiac sign Scorpio are:

Rhododendron, geranium, holly, black-eyed Susan, scarlet monkey flower, anemone, heather, gardenia, honey-suckle, cactus, Arian flowers, yew, blackthorn, bushy trees.

 Scorpio Rhododendron Flowers

Along with being pretty small flowers with little hairs, they can be dangerous when eaten. Those who are born under the Sun sign of Scorpio can be very intense and take many things to the extremes. Rhododendron can be so extreme that even honey made from this flower can be dangerous to humans and pets.

 It seems that a soldier by the name of Xenophon documented the effects of honey made from the rhododendrons that surrounded the city. It seems that the Greek soldiers were acting strange because the plant has a hallucinogenic effect and it was transferred to the honey.

The Yew tree is the tree associated with Scorpios. Scorpios have been known to be forceful and powerful. I would say that the Yew tree has the same traits. The oldest Yew tree today is more than 3000 years old. I definitely would say that this is a powerful breed of tree.

Some Astrologers believe that we are connected to ever single thing in our solar system. From the sun in the sky to the flowers, each thing has an aspect of each zodiac sign.

Today is my first post on Zodiac flowers. Just like planetary alignments, certain zodiac signs are attracted to certain flowers and plants. Here is a list of what each zodiac flower is called.

Later I plan on writing about why each flower and plant is associated with the zodiac signs. Enjoy the list and see how many are in your zodiac sign that you enjoy.
