Totems, charms, amulets, fortunetelling stones — since ancient times people looked for patrons and defenders, addressing inanimate and allocating with force unusual objects. Ancient were not mistaken in the belief in the powerful force of stones and their ability to influence the person. Still there are several hypotheses helping to define the stone and to use its force to itself for the good.
In the theory
Astrology is engaged in studying properties of precious, semiprecious, ornamental stones. This science allows to learn compatibility of stones, their interaction with the person and the nuances dictated by factors on which, actually, stones satellites are selected.
In advance it is worth differentiating mascots and amulets. If the first are directed to inner world of the carrier, are capable to improve his traits of character, to bring talents to new level, then the second are intended for interaction with energy from the outside since save from a malefice, influence an emotional background of surrounding people, etc.
Criteria for selection of stones
The first, but not the only selection criterion is the sympathy of the owner for future charm. If the stone is not pleasant, then whatever told forecasts and horoscopes, it will not work at full capacity. The second criterion it is considered to be color of eyes of the owner. The simplest rule: combination of flowers and shades. Green-eyed — malachite, adeksandrit, chrysoprase; blue-eyed — turquoise, the yellow stones shading color; brown and black eyes demand saturated or contrast tones (aventurine, amber, carnelian). One more possibility of the choice of the protecting mineral is its combination to elements. The stones patronizing water and water zodiac signs (Cancer, the Scorpion, Fishes), iridescent and brilliant: aventurine, opal. Transparent, noble stones will be suitable for fire (and Ovnov, Lviv, Sagittariuses): emeralds, sapphires, rubies, aquamarine, topaz, amethyst. The earth (Capricorn, the Taurus, the Maiden) is combined only with opaque stones: malachite, jasper, lazurite. And here air (Scales, Aquarius, Twins) ideally gets on with smoky stones: nephrite, onyx, amethyst, carnelian, etc. Such classification can be expanded, having passed to concrete zodiac signs. Stones also can be chosen on date of birth. For every month, on number when the person was born, even on day of the week there is a certain stone patron. Sometimes it is combined with a month and in the afternoon when the stone is planned to be used most actively. Very simple classification of suitable stones is made on the basis of their general properties. You wish fidelity — grenades, adventures — aventurine, blossoming of talent — a cat's eye, etc. It is possible to choose a stone concerning a name, that is, on the basis of characteristic of a name and need any given trait of character to allocate or calm. But the most important when choosing a stone remain personal love to it. Really the stone is that which clings a look and with the beauty it is distinguished from all.
