Zodiac Healing Stones

                                                       Zodiac Healing Stones

Each sign of the zodiac is thought to govern a certain part of the body. When performing any type of healing magic you may want to wait until the moon is in the appropriate sign according to what part of the body is being healed.

Here’s a great tip: consult an annual Farmers Almanac to help you determine what sign of the zodiac the moon is in on any particular day.
