Moonstone is associated with the Moon and thus is a wonderfully helpful stone for women and many women like it for its ability to balance hormonal and menstrual cycles. A stone of intuition and insight that reminds us of our cyclic nature as women but can help anyone connect to all the different cycles we experience in life.

Many people find Moonstone to be very soothing and use it to help relieve stress, and it is especially helpful if you tend to have aggressive tendencies.

Working with the Third-Eye and Crown Chakras, Moonstone connects us to divine inspiration, and channels it into our own intuition.

Moonstone encourages introspection and judgment, yielding easier decision making.

Emotional vision can be enhanced with Moonstone which can bring greater creative abilities, and freedom of expression. These properties are also enhanced by Moonstone's ability to open one up to increased synchronicities, that we often cannot see due to our being wrapped up in our daily routines. Moonstone can also offer increased patience and allowing, so those newly found synchronicities can flow into our lives unimpeded.

Physically, it is said that Moonstone can promote conception by aiding all aspects of the reproductive system. Moonstone is also known to help with the digestive system, including the liver, and can aid in the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.

Charge your Moonstone by placing it on a windowsill or outdoors overnight during the full moon. You may notice the stone getting more powerful as the moon reaches its fullest point, and losing its potency as the moon wanes.
