Have you ever wondered if there was something more you could be doing to
achieve better balance in your life?
- To have more quality time with
your family and friends?
- To have a balanced diet and time to exercise.
- To have ease with your finances?
- To have time to learn new things?
- To
explore your spirituality?
- To experience more joy?
If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, I invite you to read on and explore the Realm of Astrology & Sacred Stones with me in an ALL NEW monthly feature called “Our Journey”.

Each
month “Our Journey” will be about encouraging you, to get to know more
about yourself, through your Birth Chart and Sacred Stones:
- To assist you in bringing your elements into balance
- To provide you with insights about your Sun Sign & Birth Chart
- To help you release all that is no longer serving you in a positive way
- To strengthen areas of challenge and build on areas of strength
- To connect you with the supportive energies of Sacred Stones
- To provide resources to help you navigate the current Astrological Energies (with a little help from friends and mentors)

There are a number of directions we could
go to start this journey together and after considerable thought, I am
guided to go back to where my journey began with “The Elements”. Back to
2013-14 when we worked on creating the final “Weekend in the Woods” event, where
we focused on the Healing Elements of Nature. So this will be our first
focus, starting with sharing with you some of the basics I have
learned around “Balancing the Elements of Your Birth Chart.
But before I dive in, we need to make sure you have the tools you need, to go on this journey together… Starting with your Birth Chart!
Don’t have a Birth Chart? I am offering one FREE to all members of my mailing list! Visit my website, fill out the form and I will send you your Birth Chart so you can follow along as we share different aspects of our Birth Charts each month.
Once you have your Birth Chart, locate the area that looks like this…

This is where you will find the balance of your Elements on the day you were born. (Fire, Earth, Air & Water)
You
can see here that in this Chart, this persons Water is low, sitting at
2 and their Fire and Earth are both a little high. So for this person,
it is going to be important that they support the Element of Water, as
a priority and be mindful of keeping the Elements of Fire and Earth calm.
Steps to Guide You Through this Journey…
1. Your Birth Chart:
Have a look at the Elemental Breakdown of your chart. What Elements are strong and balanced, what Elements need support?
2. Learn About the Elements:
Achieving balance and mastery of our Elements is a lifetime journey. We have the ability to achieve this with a little focus and guidance.
I have put together some great information for you about each of the Elements, to support you on this journey:
- A Description of each of the Elements
- What it looks like when specific Elements are in or out of balance
- Sacred Stones to support each Element
- Tips on how to bring better balance to each Element
- Affirmations to utilize right away or inspire you to write your own
Now all you have to do is Visit Our Elements Page to learn more about how you can work with these different energies, to help you strengthen them.
3. Create A Plan
Once
we have learned the different ways we can bring our Elements into
Balance, we can then set intentions and begin to manifest our desires,
with our thoughts, our words and a plan! Baby steps and a little
structure is all that is needed.
What steps will you take to bring about more balance in your life?

Here’s a little extra for all you beautiful Aquarians out there!

Happy Birthday to all my family, friends and Visions in the Woods Members born with the Sun is in the Sign of Aquarius…January 21st to February 18th. Wishing you all a year filled with abundance and peace!
SACRED JOURNEY BIRTH STONES
Want to know the Sacred Stones that are most common to your Sun Sign?
I
have prepared a list of Sacred Journey Birth Stones that are linked to
our Astrological Sun Signs instead of the monthly calendar. Birth Stones
linked to your Sun Sign and Birth Chart have much more significance and
power for us than general monthly stones created by the jewelry
industry.
If you are considering a Birth Stone as part of a gift, this
is a great list to utilize. Visit Visions in the Woods Crystal Birth Stones page and also remember to always trust your intuition.
I
have also shared a few characteristics about the beautiful Aquarians in
our lives, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of that page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at visions@bell.net I welcome your questions, thoughts and feedback!
My intention is for all of us to grow and
expand our experiences, to a place of living our lives here on Earth to
their fullest! I truly believe Sacred Stones & Astrology can assist
us to achieve this. More to come in February!
Until next time!
Lots of love, Deborah
