The September Birthstone – Sapphire

If you are reading this, I assume you have some amount of interest, belief or at the least curiosity in gemstone astrology. Well, if you are wondering, if I do believe in gem stone astrology, I am not sure. I have not made up my mind yet, but it is true that I have witnessed some remarkable improvements in the lives of those who have used birthstones for numerous benefits. Also, it is always interesting to explore such things, even though we might not believe in them completely. Be it Sun Signs, Palmistry or Numerology, people have always shown a keen interest in knowing future and what brings good luck to them. So why gem stone astrology should remain an exception here?

What Can Sapphire Birthstone Add to your Life?

Sapphire is believed to bring about emotional and physical balance in your life. Qualities like sympathy, purity and wisdom are often associated with this stone. Sapphire is also said to bring out the qualities needed for a harmonious relationship like faithfulness, sincerity and abundance of warmth and kindness. It is also said to enhance problem solving ability by inspiring clarity of thought. The stone is also said to protect the owner from engaging in thoughts that are evil in nature. It is believed that Sapphires were used to peek into the future. This precisely is the reason it is believed to enhance the intuitive power of the possessor.

When a close friend of mine was suffering from relationship problems within her family, someone recommended the use of sapphire birthstone to her (of course after proper consultation). Although I ridiculed the idea initially, looking at the way things have dramatically improved for her after she took the advice and started to wear sapphire birthstone ring, I cannot help but wonder if the same alternative will provide me long lasting solutions (since both of us were born in September).

Would I buy a Sapphire Birthstone to welcome these benefits into my life? Under normal circumstances, I may not completely believe that a stone can bring in miraculous effects in my life, but when the proof is right in front of my eyes, I do want to give it a shot and see for myself. Plus who wouldn’t love to invest in a fine piece of jewelry? What could be more gratifying than flaunting an authentic sapphire among friends and family while reaping heaps of benefits at the same time?

Bridesmaids to the rescue!

Well, I am the real life Jane Nichols from 27 dresses! I've been a bridesmaid for about the same number of weddings. A large number of these weddings were family ones. What can I say in my defense? I just love the idea of a wedding, of swearing to a life of togetherness and love! A wedding, for me, means a vow to stand together through thick and thin, forever till the end of time! Does that sound a little too romantic and idealistic? That's what weddings are meant to be!

I love the whole deal – from helping with the wedding planning and picking of dresses, organizing and executing some smashing bachelorette parties and of course, that teary end of day speech because each wonderful woman I've stood for have been a very special and integral part of my life.

Deal With Stress

As a 'veteran' bridesmaid, let me tell you, you learn to deal with stress. Each new wedding has taught me that I'm not there just to attend on the bride and my friend but to be a sounding board; to calm her when she is agitated and if need be, to take over till the bride is back on her feet and raring to go. If you intend to be a bridesmaid and have been privileged enough to be asked to this honor for a friend or family member, remember it is an infinitely special moment that you have been asked to partake in. The bride puts infinite trust in you so try not to get things wrong! Stressed out? Don't be!

It's 'Her' Day!

One basic rule to keep in mind is that the wedding is not about your choices and suggestions; it is designed for the bride and the groom. It is their idea of a ceremony that will keep them bonded together in love and harmony for a lifetime. Bridesmaids exist to fulfill the bride's every wish. This might be a task because brides are notorious for overnight changes into 'bridezillas' but it can also be a lot of fun to help in the organizing, registering and all the little things that go in between.

Volunteer

If you have a specific talent, do tell the bride that you are at her service. For example, I enjoy the art of calligraphy and if I say so myself, I'm relatively good at it. Keeping this in mind, I generally take on the task of addressing invitations and all things that require fancy lettering. It takes a big burden off the bride's shoulders when she can hand over tasks to someone she loves and trusts - Her bridesmaid!

On the auspicious day, the bride is in too much of a jitter to take care of practical yet unexpected things. Unexpected situations may make a large difference to the quality of the ceremony. Keep your eyes wide open as a bridesmaid, anticipate the needs of the lady in command and hurry to rectify any perceivable error at the earliest. Bridesmaids to the rescue!
