If you’ve ever wanted to capture the feeling of autumn, put it in your pocket, and carry it with you all year long, carnelian is the rock for you. Coming in a range of warm fall colors, the prettiest specimens of this mineral almost seem to glow like tiny chunks of solidified candlelight. As comforting as a campfire on a dark night or soothing as hot cup of tea on a chilly day, no wonder people are as drawn to this mineral today are they were thousands of years ago. If carnelian is coming up for you now, it’s because it wants to send all this warmth, cheer, and coziness straight to you. No matter what the season or weather is like on the outside, part of you on the inside may be feeling left out in the cold. That part is craving security and comfort, so find yourself a comfy spot soon, snuggle down, and create a feeling of warm, cozy safety for your soul.

The Bottom Line

COMFORT
“Nurture yourself with coziness, comfort, and warmth.”

One Or More Of These Messages Are For You

    • No matter what’s happening on the outside, make sure your inner world is a safe place of security, comfort, and warmth.
    • If you’ve been watching a lot of harsh media, it’s time to soothe yourself with some cozy books, movies, and shows.
    • Seek out friends and activities that make you feel comfortable and safe.
    • Especially if you feel you’ve been battling life’s storms, you need to retreat inside to seek shelter, nurturing, and replenishment.
    • Treat yourself to something that makes you feel safe and cared for, whether that’s curling up with a good book, drinking tea or hot chocolate, cozying up by a fire. Bonus points if you have an orange cat to snuggle!
    • If you were asking about something specific, your answer may come in autumn.
