Brighter Days

Stones: Sunstone and Chrysocolla

Welcome to your Week Forward Lithomantic Update:

After the tempest subsides, the sun’s first ray can kindle a spark of hope in even the weariest soul.

You’ve faced a storm recently. As it passes, you may be left feeling a bit battered, and the world around you seems worse for wear. There will be time for repair, but first let the Sun’s rays warm your weary face and offer the promise of brighter days ahead. 

Sunstone offers us a tangible piece of the sun’s uplifting glow. This happy orange-spangled crystal carries the spirit of long summer days and late afternoon strolls. 

With its solar connection, it is known to inspire joy. It is a balm for those who have found themselves struggling with low mood, and it offers a gentle boost to self-confidence. This is a heartfelt smile in a stone.

However, there is no need to lean into false postivity. Sunlight alone does not make a garden grow. 

With the swirling blues and verdant greens of a lush landscape, Chrysocolla urges you to tend to the soil of life with gentle hands. This nurturing stone suggests that understanding, rather than blind optimism, is what is required in the moment.

As a flowing stream gently tumbles the stones along its bed, allow self-compassion to soften your rigid edges and leave room for growth.

Remember - flood planes make for fertile ground when paired with the sun’s warmth and proper understanding of the river.
