BIRTHSTONES: PRECIOUS STONES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO ASTROLOGY
Astrology has been around for an awfully long time. It is likely that the worship of deities associated with the stars and planets is amongst the earliest (and most persistent) of the belief patterns that more or less differentiates us, homo sapiens, from our tree, burrow and shoreline ancestors.
Astrology defines civilization, education and early knowledge. It marks a connection between day to day living and the possibilities of an after life.
Many people around the world still strongly believe in the casting of horoscopes and the study of astrology. Very early on in history, it was natural that mineral stones, themselves an early discovery of mankind, should come to be associated with the Zodiac, and thus arose the birthstone scenario.
All of us have a "Sign of the zodiac". Depending on when our birthday falls we are said to have been born under a certain star sign. And for each star sign there are particular mineral stones that are of highest benefit to ourselves. This relates to health, wealth and happiness. Similarly the orient brings us knowledge related to our "karmic colours". Here we have collated some of these details for your future interests in the subject.
