March 2 through March 8, 2026

Mars kicks off the week by moving into spiritual Pisces on Monday, slowing outer movement and heralding a two-month cycle of internal transformation. Even though Mars sometimes has difficulty traveling through a water sign, the importance of this transit is to alter our perceptions within, so we can manifest our dreams outwardly once it completes. Tuesday lights up the sky with a Virgo full Moon/lunar eclipse, the second eclipse in two weeks and the ushering in of a brand new six month cycle of focus. As the razor-sharp focusing sign of the zodiac, Virgo will bring to light many things we tend to miss in our daily movements through life. That being said, watch for “new” information that’s been there all along! The Moon will dance into Libra on Wednesday, allowing us a few days to re-balance after the shifting start of the week. Venus enters Aries on Friday, making the weekend a perfect time to focus on relationships of all kinds. Add in a Scorpio Moon Saturday and Sunday, and we’ve got the perfect recipe for a wonderful wrap up to the week.

The Top Three Benefits of Connecting with Your Spirit Crystal, by Jenny C. Bell

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

We all have a team of guiding energy helping our soul in this lifetime and beyond. Your spirit guide team may consist of angels, ancestors, saints, ascended masters, goddesses, animals, and crystals. Crystals, like plants and trees, have spirit. They are alive with energy. This aliveness is why so many people are drawn to crystals and how crystals can lend to our healing.

There are six crystals that are called the Spirit Crystals, and every soul has a connection to one of these six. The six Spirit Crystals are amethyst, citrine, clear quartz, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and prasiolite (also known as green quartz or aventurine). Each Spirit Crystal is connected with an archetype, which helps a person evolve into their highest version of themselves. (Note that these are not traditional Jungian archetypes, but rather modern archetypes of spiritual seekers.) The Spirit Crystals are here to help you realize your past life wounds so as to heal from them and become empowered in this lifetime. Each Spirit Crystal acts as a teacher or guide for those that connect with them. The Crystals bring vibration and energy, but are also connected through their archetype with deities, plants, and rituals that bring healing.

Amethyst is connected with the archetype of the alchemist, which is connected to a past life in Ancient Egypt. The key healing of the amethyst is transmutation, and Amethyst helps you alchemize shadows and other unwanted energy into spiritual gold or gifts. Amethyst is connected with Ancient Egyptian deities, especially Thoth; Thoth wrote the Emerald Tablet, which many consider to be the first or foundational book of alchemy. Alchemy, on a metaphorical level, is really what spiritual evolution and spiritual journeys are about. Spiritual alchemy is what we all strive to do. It is the evolution. It is the magic. Amethyst aids us on this quest.

Citrine is known as the manifestor. The manifestor archetype is connected with a past life in Atlantis. Citrine helps to heal blocks in manifesting and receiving abundance. The fall of Atlantis is known as a cautionary tale; it was a paradise on earth until the people there became greedy and wanted more than paradise. People connected with citrine often have blocks in manifesting what they want. There is a part of them that fears that they are being greedy or that they are undeserving of abundance. Citrine helps to clear these blocks.

Clear quartz is known as the healer archetype. This archetype is connected to Lemuria. Clear quartz helps you transform from a wounded healer to a wholly healed healer. Lemuria is deeply connected with crystals. People sell Lemurian seed crystals; these special clear quartz crystals are said to be encoded with the records of the Lemurians before they all either died or hid away. All stones are record keepers, but clear quartz is the best at help you discover your own records. Clear quartz is the best conduit for reading the Akashic records (the reading of these records is one of the many tools of the healer archetype).

Rose quartz is the lover. The lover is tied to both Avalon and the angelic realm. Avalon was a mystical island of goddess worshipers. The people there were deep in their divine feminine energy, and divine feminine energy is the key to healing the heart. Rose quartz helps to heal the broken heart and open it back up to love in all forms. People connected to rose quartz often have wide-open heart chakras. They are very sensitive and loving, but many have closed their hearts through the hurt from others that they have endured. Rose quartz works to restore the harmony of the heart chakra, allowing it to be open yet protected.

Smoky quartz is connected to the archetype of the medium. Smoky quartz is connected with Paititi, the famous city of legendary gold. The gold is what lies beyond death. Smoky quartz can help you release your fears surrounding death and instead embrace your gift of connection with the other side. A healed medium is not haunted by the dead, but at peace in this lifetime and what happens beyond. Working with smoky quartz helps you to face the fears that are holding you back from your own evolution and empowerment. Jaguar is an important ally of smoky quartz. She helps you be the apex predator of your own fears. She helps you stand in your true power and confidence.

Lastly, aventurine or prasiolite is tied to the archetype of the sage and the ancient land of Shambala. Aventurine helps you stop doubting your wisdom and step into it instead. Shambala is a realm of peace and bliss. When you are at peace within yourself your true wisdom can rise to the surface. A healed sage is patient and quiet, allowing the wisdom to arise when it's ready. Aventurine/prasiolite helps to guide you to trust your own intuition and instincts. It helps you to focus in meditation and quiet the monkey mind.

You will reap many benefits from discovering and connecting with your Spirit Crystal, but the top three are:

1. Discovering significant past lives that affect your current spiritual journey. As explained previously, each Spirit Crystal is connected with an archetype and that archetype is connected to a spiritual place. Knowing whether you have ties to Atlantis or Lemuria will allow you to better focus your own spiritual path. So many of us know we have had past lives and often feel unsure how to begin this journey into uncovering them. Your Spirit Crystal gives you a lead into how this past life affects you in this lifetime. You are also provided tools to help heal the woulds that remain from this past life. You will learn to overcoming lessons from these previous lives to give you a fresh start in this one.
2. Learning about the different allies that connect with your own Spirit Crystal and how to call on these allies. Each Spirit Crystal is connected to a chakra, a sacred number, deities, plants, and other stones. When you discover your Spirit Crystal and all that it's connected to, your spiritual search will be focused. You will be given a list of tools that will help aide you in your journey. These allies all connect with your Spirit Crystal and will help deepen your relationship with your Crystal as well as yourself.
3. Understanding which types of divination, rituals, and practices best suit you. Each Spirit Crystal is associated with a form of divination that best suits your archetype. There are so many forms of divination that the choices can be overwhelming. Your Spirit Crystal will guide you to a form of divination that will come more naturally to you. You can also combine all of the Spirit Crystals to use for a special form of divination, as well. There are many practices associated with each Spirit Crystal, from chanting to ritual baths to meditations. Let your Spirit Crystal guide your spiritual practice and you will feel so much more empowered on this path.

If you are feeling the call to connect with a Spirit Crystal, follow that nudge. Discovering and connecting with your Spirit Crystal will help elevate your own spiritual practice and empower you on your path.

When we take photos of our family, there are often many orbs in the pictures no matter where the pictures are taken. I also used to sense some activity in our old home. For example, when I was in bed at night, I would see the motion sensor in the hallway detecting movement when there was nothing there. Do you think deceased relatives are giving us signs and appearing in our photos? We often find orbs in photos taken in my son's bedroom. Could this be why he is such a bad sleeper now? Also, I often feel a tingling at the back of my neck. Is this a spirit trying to connect with me? I often get it when I stand over my son's cot, feeding him.

Trying to figure out which spirits are inhabiting your home can be a real challenge, especially if there is more than one kind of entity there. Scientific studies sometimes say that orbs in photographs are no more than moisture, humidity, mold or pollen. Further, there isn't a reliable way to confirm whether orbs in photos are relatives or other spirits.

What you believe about the orbs you see in photos and experience as movement in your own home is probably correct. Your description of what is going on clearly points to some kind of spirit activity, whether it's related to these orbs or not. The orbs may be quite separate and disconnected from the other feelings you're having and what your son is experiencing in terms of sleep problems.

You absolutely have some kind of lingering energy in your home. It probably comes and goes, and may even be a seasonal thing, where spirits who are on the move drop in from time to time. The motion sensor is probably picking something up, though I doubt it's a daily (or nightly) occurrence.

Many of our homes act as conduits for restless spirits or lost, confused, or angry souls. Until a soul accepts that it is in another dimension, it will wander. You've got some uninvited, negative wanderers around. Because they're upsetting your son's rest, it's probably best to get rid of them, at least for the time being.

Your house needs a thorough spiritual cleansing, and the yard surrounding your house could use some protection too. Whether the orbs that appear in your photos are of departed family or not, if you're getting creepy feelings, it's time to do something about this situation.

Burning sage is one of the easiest things you can do. For this simple cleansing, open all your windows and doors, light your smudge stick and travel through your entire home, smoking the whole area.

For your yard, sprinkle a tiny bit of salt around your fence or property line. Salt will kill your grass, so go easy: just a few tiny grains all around your yard will do the trick. For extra protection, follow this up in the same way with a few grains of sugar. Move counterclockwise as you do this and pray in your own way.

You'll find there is a lot less activity in your photos, your home, and your son's room after that. With a little less activity, it should be easier for you to figure out which orbs might be family, and which spirits are visiting your home.

Susyn:

The incidents you describe are definitely signs of paranormal activity. You'll have to investigate further to determine whether these entities are deceased relatives, protective guides or malefic spirits.

You mention that orbs often appear in your family photos no matter where the pictures are taken. This suggests that they could be relatives who have passed over or spirit guides who tend to follow you wherever you go. Most likely, these are not entities you need to be concerned with.

Your motion sensor detecting movement could have been caused by a number of things. These sensors are quite sensitive and have been known to be set off by pets, wind, or changes in the environment. However, powerful spirits can cause objects to move, which could also have set off your motion detector.

It can be very difficult to detect the presence of a ghost or spirit without the aid of an electric magnetic field device or a thermal imaging camera that registers changes in heat. It is believed that non-physical entities absorb heat as energy, so they can often be detected in this way.

I would be most concerned about the activity that is occurring in your son's room. His restless sleep and the tingling you feel when feeding him, along with the orbs that show up in photos taken in his room, suggest a high level of spiritual activity.

If these spirits were relatives, I don't believe you would see so much activity. Your son would not be disturbed during his sleep if these spirits were loved ones who are simply watching over him.

You may want to consider moving your son into a different room for a few nights to see if the tingling sensations abate and he sleeps more peacefully. You could also set up a tape recorder in his room and let it run through the night to see if it picks up any EVP's (electronic voice phenomena) recordings. If these spirits converse or whisper to each other, or make any noise whatsoever, it can often be picked up by a simple tape recorder.

If you find evidence of these spirits or notice a change in your son's sleep habits, you will want to hire a psychic or paranormal expert to cleanse your house of any unwanted entities. These professionals have the ability clear your house of negative spirits while inviting benefic spirits to remain. In this way, you can make sure that any paranormal activity you encounter in the future is safe and originating from loving spirits.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
