MYTHOLOGY AND HISTORY
Until the sixteenth century
citrine was an umbrella term
for all sparkling yellow stones,
including stones such as topaz.
Called the sun stone,
citrine is said to hold pure sunlight
and never to absorb any negativity.
As a stone of Mercury,
the Roman messenger god,
it holds the clear sunlight
of early morning,
not the heat of noon.
Regarded as a merchant's stone,
citrine has been famed
for improving communication,
increasing selling power
(owing to the influence of Mercury)
and for attracting money
or business.
A citrine was placed in the cash register
or put with the accounts;
now it is put near the cash register.
~~~
DIVINATORY SIGNIFICANCE
Heralding joy in every aspect of your life,
citrine says it is time
to communicate your ideas and needs clearly,
especially in situations at work.
Try new activities
and visit new places.
Make time for any creative talents you have,
as they may prove lucrative.
~~~
HEALING AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Citrine is excellent for
the liver,
spleen,
gall bladder
and digestive system.
It reduces toxicity in the body,
relieves back pain
and eases skin problems
and allergies.
It is an effective remedy for
depressive illnesses
or phobias;
it will help you to think clearly
and put your problems in perspective.
The positive energy of citrine
drives away darkness and night fears
and protects against negative people.
A crystal of hope,
citrine can be placed on
an image of children in need
or of an area of intense poverty
or famine.
Leave the citrine on the picture
from dawn until noon,then wrap
the crystal and picture
in yellow or white silk
and leave it covered until the next dawn.
Repeat this process
for three consecutive days.
As you set the crystal
on the photograph,
name the positive energies you wish
to send to the place.
You may also wish to use citrine
to bless any material gifts
you send to such places.
~~~
USES AT WORK AND HOME
Citrine will clear any dark spots at home
caused by restless ghosts
or negative earth energies.
Keep a citrine inclusion
(tiny crystals in rock)
in a room that seems dark,
cold
or unfriendly.
Citrine is excellent for workers
in the media
and the arts.
~~~
CHILDREN AND ANIMALS
Citrine helps children
and teenagers
to feel loved
and is good for blending together
the tangled relationships that can arise
in step-families.
It also helps keep open
channels of communication
with teenagers.
Citrine helps pets,
particularly rescued animals,
settle into a new
or temporary environment.
~~~
PSYCHIC ASSOCIATIONS
Associated with the crown
and solar plexus chakras,
citrine releases joy
and brings spiritual powers
into the everyday world.
Citrine was supposedly
a powerful transmitter
of solar healing energy in Atlantis.
Citrine is excellent for prosperity rituals.
Charge a citrine with energies
of abundance
by burning a yellow candle next to it at dawn.
Keep the energized crystal in your purse
to attract money to you.
Citrine will make you more intuitive
and help you distinguish between
free-floating anxiety
and your inner voice that advises you
as to the right action.
It is also very good for automatic writing
(where you ask a question
and allow your hand to write freely).
It draws wisdom from
the collective memory bank
via your own psychic powers.
Use citrine in creative visualization
to help bring a desired object or goal
from your thoughts
into the everyday world.
Hold the citrine in your power hand
(the one you write with)
while picturing in your mind
the desired result coming nearer.
Carry the charged citrine with you
as a reminder
as you put your plans into action.
Citrine does not absorb negativity
but transforms it into
positive energy.
Therefore, it is a crystal
that can keep on
energizing
and protecting
for a long time.
This makes citrine useful
if you are under a lot of pressure
or are away from home
and feel vulnerable.
~~~
RECHARGING ITS ENERGIES
Leaving citrine in sunlight
from dawn until noon
will fill it with extra radiance,
especially on the summer solstice
(21 June in the northern hemisphere
and 21 December in the southern hemisphere).
However do not expose citrine
to intense sunlight too frequently
as it may start to crack.

[Melody's
LOVE IS IN THE EARTH]
CITRINE
(Astrological Signs of Gemini
Aries
Libra
and Leo)
Citrine is a variety of quartz,
the colour being in the range
from yellow to golden brown
to burnt amber.
It is one of the two minerals on the planet
which does not hold and accumulate
negative energy,
but dissipates
and transmutes it,
working-out problems
on both the physical
and subtle levels.
It, hence, never needs
clearing
or cleansing.
It has also been reported that citrine
is one of the stones to be called
the "merchant's stone";
placing a cluster or a crystal of citrine
in ones cash box
has produced more income
for the merchant.
It not only assists the merchant
in acquiring wealth,
but helps to maintain the state of wealth.
This mineral is useful for balancing
the yin-yang energy
and for the aligning chakras
with the ethereal plane.
It activates,
opens
and energizes
the navel
and solar plexus chakras,
directing, via personal power,
creativity,
and intelligent decisiveness,
the energy necessary to enhance
the physical body.
It emits an elevated energy
which provides one with
supplemental initiative
coupled with emotional balance.
It stimulates the intuitive self
and promotes contact with
the higher forces of intelligence.
It also illuminates the energy
of the root chakra,
delivering both comfort
and optimism.
It can help one to dispense with
the fundamental level of fear.
It further promotes
a radiance from within the self,
culminating in a constant happy disposition.
It brightens even the darkest corner
of ones perceived reality,
and helps one to "laugh without restraint".
It is quite efficient in conveying,
when necessary, information relative to
the appropriate aspects of survival.
It also allows for clarification
of problems related to the realms of
the intellect
and emotions.
It influences, in a positive manner,
the areas of
education,
business pursuits,
and interpersonal relationships.
It is an excellent stone for smoothing
family
or group
problems and,
subsequently, producing cohesiveness
within the associative members.
It acts similarly to the cutting edge
of a sword, penetrating problems
and expediting solutions.
Citrine, especially in the faceted form,
stimulates the crown chakra,
allowing for synthesis between
the intellect and total perfection;
it is, therefore, quite helpful
in problem solving,
for facilitating recognition of resolutions
to mental conundrums
and for promoting mental awareness
on a moment-to-moment basis.
It is said to stimulate openness
and to accelerate the wakening of the mind.
It is an excellent stone
for clearing the aura
and for aligning the auric body
with the physical structure,
diminishing the "muddy" areas
in both the auric body
with the physical body.
It can act to stabilize the emotions,
to dispel anger
and to encourage one to
"look toward the sunrise",
the freshness of brginningd
and the reality of excellence.
It is said to have been one of the stones
used in the breastplate of the high priest.
In addition, there is a formation
of Citrine/Smokey Quartz
(sometimes with "clear quartz")
with clean definition between the colours,
which has been found in Brazil.
This alliance of forces
merges the energy of all three minerals
and for a dynamic healing stone.
The citrine acts to
cleanse the energies
of the smokey and "clear" quartz,
while the smokey quatz provides
grounding for all endeavors.
The faceted form provides a distinct
and bright energy for application
to all aspects,
combining the singular energies
of the three minerals
to provide an energy greater than the sum.
It can aid in digestion,
can assist in the treatment of
digestive disorders
and can promote the circulation of blood.
It has been used in the treatment
of degenerative disorders
and to facilitate the diminishment of growths.
It has also been used to increase
visual abilities,
to balance the thyroid
and to activate the thymus.
Vibrates to the number 6.
