power of the turtle
I have a necklace made of hematite, with a carved turtle pendant that hangs from it. It fits close to my neck like a choker, and the turtle sits right at the hollow of my throat. The turtle is a rough carving in the polished mineral, all lines and angles, but I like turtles a lot -- I identify with them -- so I couldn't leave without this necklace when I found it.
When I wear my necklace, I'm struck by the way that the hematite conducts heat. I can pull it from around my neck and still feel the warmth from my throat in the body of the turtle.
I was in a foul mood today, from morning until nightfall, and it felt like a great deal of self-restraint not to take my grouchiness out on the world around me. Every time I tugged the turtle away from my throat, it was hot on my palm, as though it had basked in the late afternoon sun, rather than sitting nestled against my throat. I took it to mean that I'm ready for another weekend very soon.
As stressed as I find myself feeling, I should remind myself that my life could be far, far worse. There's nothing like the evening news to remind me of that. I could've exposed my bare nipple to hundreds of millions of Super Bowl watchers last night, for instance.
...Suddenly, things are looking up a bit.

I see it as an omen of opportunities to come.
Also, you're going to meet a Sagittarius in August. ;)
I exposed my bare nipple to aughts of people the VERY SAME DAY! Unfortunately, no one noticed...
i think that the turtle represents strength, all of its stones will represent how many hard times that you will have, but it also represents twice as many good times you will have too. Not to worry about being exposed its just a bunch of ignorant nosey people who have nothing better to do than to be in your business.
