The Gemstone: Apatite

In ancient times, sailors carried these pastel blue gems as they believed it would guarantee a safe voyage. Their delicate blue hue is associated with tranquility, healing, and relaxation. March's birthstone is regarded as a symbol of youth, hope, happiness, and health.

Apatites & Aquamarines are also said to enhance joy and happiness in a marriage, making them a fabulous anniversary gift.

Those with a light blue birthstone can invoke the tranquility of the sea. Like those born in the previous month, March babies can summon a sense of calm in the people around them. They're known as great communicators, deeply valued for their compassion and honesty.

Apatite/Aquamarine personalities make for great mediators, adept at settling disputes in the fairest way possible. They weigh both sides of an argument and consider all parties involved. Even under pressure, they're able to think clearly, express their thoughts and make decisions.

The Star Sign: Aries

MAR 21 - APR 19

Aries loves to be number one, so it’s no surprise that these audacious rams are the first sign of the zodiac. Bold and ambitious, Aries dives headfirst into even the most challenging situations (which is appropriate, since the body part associated with Aries is the head).

Like their fellow fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius, Aries is a passionate, motivated, and confident leader who builds community with their cheerful disposition and relentless determination.

Uncomplicated and direct in their approach, they often get frustrated by exhaustive details and unnecessary nuances. They like things quick and dirty.

Aries is a cardinal sign that kicks off not only the spring season but also the entire zodiac wheel. Astrologers believe that each sign learns the lessons absorbed by its preceding signs, both joyful and painful. In the case of Aries, however, there is no inherited wisdom: Aries leads with blind optimism, barreling thorugh life that perfectly complements their distinctive impulsivity.

These fire signs think after they leap, which often results in lessons learned the hard way. Aries represents the singular spirit. These rams adhere to an “every person for themselves” philosophy. While this self-determination can be inspiring, Aries needs to watch out for selfish tendencies.

This sign is ruled by Mars, the dynamic red planet named after the Roman god of war. Accordingly, these courageous rams are always armed and ready for battle. Aries is known for an explosive temper, and although their outbursts don’t last long, it’s definitely best to avoid fiery rams until the steam has dissipated. But when these brazen rams are not flying off the handle, they’re upbeat, positive, and playful creatures who enjoy living life to the fullest. You can always spot an Aries excelling on the sports field, speeding down the highway, or organizing a vibrant party game.
