Astrophyllite heart my partner gave me during our first year together. I hadn’t worked much with crystals and he was like a walking database on them. His work with crystals amazed me. I found myself going through crystals recently and subconsciously gave this heart a space front and center on my bedside altar. This was an unknowingly perfect choice during Neptune’s retrograde that I didn’t realize until today. This shift has greatly impacted me and this crystal was something I needed/need. It is a stone of illumination and light and this shift puts us in a place where our spiritual self takes a stronger hold and lifts the mask of our ego-self for a time. It can be really healing time as we are vulnerable without our camouflage. Astrophyllite works to help us love our true selves and come to terms with our past and present selves. It may not be suited to all during this time but I am finding it helpful and you may as well. 🖤
