Why Moonstone for Cancer?
The moon rules Cancer, governing tides and emotions. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, Cancers experience deep emotional cycles. Moonstone, known as the "Stone of New Beginnings," helps navigate these feelings with grace. Its soft, reflective light mirrors the Cancerian soul—mysterious, caring, and profoundly connected to the unseen realms of heart and home.
