Neptune: Find wisdom
lapis lazuli

Moon: Find balance
moonstone
In the same way the moon's gravity affects the tidal ebb and flow, so it also represents the ebb and flow of life, reminding us there is a time for action, and a time for rest.
Moonstone is a gemstone traditionally associated with intuition and personal growth.
This combination makes for an ideal talisman for those who want to achieve balance in their lives.
Saturn: Find time
rutile quartz
In Roman mythology Saturn was the father of agriculture and so symbolises productivity and the value of patience - the Greek equivalent is Chronos - the personification of time.
Rutilated quartz is a gemstone traditionally associated with enhancing inner peace and here the gold-coloured inclusions symbolise the rings of Saturn.
This combination makes it an ideal talisman to remind you that some things are worth waiting for - and it's OK to give yourself space and time to reach your goals.
Venus: Find joy

Uranus: Find calm
amazonite
Although visible to the naked eye, Uranus was initially assumed to be a star until 1781 when William Herschel* observed it though a telescope and it was classified as a planet. It is therefore appropriately associated with change and revolution.
Amazonite is a gemstone traditionally associated with peace and harmony.
This combination makes it an ideal talisman to support you to remain calm in the face of disruption and to seek the positives in change.
*We can’t help putting in a small word of empowerment for the oft-forgotten women out there. William had support throughout his life from his equally scientifically-gifted sister, Caroline. She ground lenses for the telescopes and made her own discoveries. In this case, however, the European Space Agency is particularly clear that William was on his own when he spotted this planet.
