Mars Over Anacortes
By
Anacortes, Washington….a lovely Gem at the tip top of Washington state. An island really, as my sister reminds me, surrounded by water, connected to the mainland by a well traveled bridge. The only other way in is by ferry or boat. A journey across the Puget Sound that brings travelers from all parts of the world. It’s beautiful here, a hundred shades of green, dense forests and views of the sea everywhere you turn. What surprises me are the sunsets. Day after day as the sun goes down, the sky lights up like a fiery ball of light. Glowing like hot lava, until the last bit of color seeps into the night. This fiery, intense red reminds me of the planet, Mars. February is the month to view Mars in our evening sky.
In Astrology, Mars rules the sign of Aries. Represented by the powerful, direct warrior of the zodiac, this Mars influence gives Aries a strong sexual and passionate side. If you are an Aries or know an Aries, you have seen this passion in action. Passion colors everything they do and follows them in every direction they turn. Red reflects the passion of Aries and its ruler, Mars.
Spinel is a wonderful GemStone to represent Mars. Spinel is found in many colors including black, blue, green, orange, brown, violet and of course, red. Below you will see an example of vibrant Spinel patially buried in Calcite. Red is said to stimulate physical vitality and strength. Necessary for the zodiac warrior!
