Zodiac Signs, and their approach to arguments!

Zodiac

There is nothing worse than arguing with your partner; sometimes, it is one of those silly rows over something mundane, like whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher. But, other times – it is an all-out slanging match over something significant! Either way, have you ever stopped to think about how a person’s Zodiac Sign might influence; the way they behave during a squabble?

Read on as we delve into each zodiac sign’s argument style…

Aries

Aries is, of course, a zodiac fire sign, and so they often have a temper. They can be quite dramatic when a spat ensues, hanging up the phone or slamming doors. No matter what the initial argument is about, they will use the opportunity to air their grievances. A partner; may, for a long time, avoid an argument at all costs. But, now and again – the blow-out might be worth it, as all sides get things out in the open so the air can be cleared.

Pancake Day

  • Pancake

I often think Pancake Day is well placed and enjoyed; if not least, because it falls six or so; weeks after New Year’s resolutions start. Many resolutions would have been well-being and health-related. So, for many, Pancake Day provides the perfect excuse to break some rules after weeks of being ‘good’!

When

Pancake Day is, of course; Shrove Tuesday – which precedes Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of lent, 40 days of fasting in the run-up to Easter. The date varies each year, and in 2023 it will be on Tuesday 21st of February.

Why pancakes

Shrove Tuesday was a chance to use up eggs, fats and other products that could not be eaten or nowadays would be too tempting to have around in a fasting period.

Habit Stacking

  • Habit Stacking

From year to year and around the globe, it is funny that the main New Year Resolutions that people strive for don’t change very much. Topping the list is usually losing weight, reducing alcohol, exercising more, stopping smoking, spending more time with family, improving work/life balance and learning something new – like an instrument or foreign language!

So, despite these good intentions and a whole concept wrapped around making changes – why are New Year Resolutions so doomed to failure?

Well, often, the goals are large, and people may lack a clear plan on how to make changes. They start with good intentions, but willpower and enthusiasm quickly wane. People often try to change too many things, all in one go, and so they get overwhelmed, to name a few…

Spread a little Joy this Christmas

  • Christmas Joy

It is fair to say that recently things have felt a little bit bleak, both home and away – and we could all do with a bit of festive joy this Christmas season.

The spirit of the time is one of giving; there is no better gift than one’s time and thoughtfulness.

If you have the time and means, then; why not carry out an ‘advent calendar’ or ’12 days of Christmas’ acts of kindness for others, and spread a little joy to those around you?

I’m sure you will have your own ideas, but here are some to get you started:

Charity

Now, more than ever – people are visiting food banks. Why not check where your local bank collects from; and if there is anything specific, they need? At this time of year, they are often; short of non-food items like toiletries, household cleaning supplies, and some festive treats.

Amber: Crystal Healing

What you may not realise is that Amber isn’t a crystal. Instead, it is a resin from a tree that has solidified and then become fossilised. However, that does not lessen its usefulness as a gem in your healing crystal collection.

Amber has been popular for a long time, especially for jewellery pieces. Larger gems are often set into necklaces or chunky bracelets, giving wearers the perfect opportunity to have the stone close to them.

The Magic of Dandelion

Dandelion

Dandelions – now, most people’s first thoughts when it comes to these plants are ones of annoying weeds that pop up in perfectly manicured lawns and borders. But I am here to tell you all to fret not, next time you see one, or even better, see a whole lawn of them!

Honestly, over the past couple of years, dandelions have become one of, if not my favourite plants, to use spiritually and magically. They have many uses and benefits to health, healing, cleansing and spiritual meaning; it’s hard to know where to start, so let’s go with the obvious one.

Emotional Intelligence: Intentions versus Actions

emotional intelligience

Do you often find yourself saying things; but not following through with actions that would give you the desired result?

For example, you might say; to family and friends that you want to lose a few pounds in weight. But then, you don’t plan any meals, food shop a bit haphazardly and then resort to takeaway quite a bit…

Or, maybe you have an intention – like wanting to exercise more, but follow through with an action, that you are highly unlikely to meet. E.G, saying you will set your alarm early and go to the gym, but come the morning time – sleep is just more valuable to you!

Green Aventurine

Green Aventurine

If you feel like you need to bring abundance and success into your life; with a sprinkling of luck, then Green Aventurine is for you; this gem is the ultimate prosperity crystal!

Failure

If you consider things you try in life; that don’t work out – to be failures then working with Green Aventurine could help you. This crystal teaches us that failing is okay; it is part of the process of trying new things. Not all failures are mistakes; the whole process is part of learning. Without some failures we do not learn what not to do; from disappointments comes change and learning from the past.

Over time, working with Aventurine means you can recognise when you have been setting expectations too high. This stone is about having goals – but ones that you can realistically achieve and aims that can be realised.
