Sapphire – Numerology and Homeopathic Gemstone Remedies
By Giovanna Franklin
The number for today is 8 (16+12+2023). This is the number of Saturn.
Saturn had a bad reputation in astrology as the planet of responsibility, the taskmaster. There is another side of Saturn, which is a little more wild and loves partying. As with everything else, there is always a polarity.
One of the stones associated with Saturn is Sapphire. This stone is much harder than quartz and amethyst, and that’s one of the reasons why it is much more sought after and expensive. Its hardness is an important characteristic that helps understand this remedy.
The name is Greek, and it simply means “blue”.
Like all gemstones, there are the themes of hardship, pressure, violence, and transformation, or “transcendence,” as I’d rather call it.
What differentiates Sapphire from other remedies is its incredible resilience. People needing this remedy may have come through terrible experiences of abuse and violence. Yet their demeanor throughout their ordeal is apparent calm, almost detached. It is, of course, a defense mechanism that psychologists call Dissociative Disorder. We can see the qualities of Saturn: patience, resilience, biding your time.
The negative energy accumulated yet unacknowledged still needs an outlet, though, usually a physical one. We see many physical conditions that “don’t make sense” to the medical world: test results are clear, yet the suffering is real and tangible. They are then labeled “psychosomatic symptoms” and dismissed.
Sapphire is one of the remedies included in my book Gifts from the Earth, which is available on Amazon.
