Topaz
It’s frustrating and unfair to get tricked by a label, but it happens all the time. And perhaps no other mineral is used to trick people as topaz. It’s a beautiful, hard stone that comes in a wide range of gorgeous colors, so it’s no wonder scammers love to pass off less valuable minerals under topaz’s name. But then topaz itself is frequently mislabeled as well, and pawned off as more expensive gems like sapphire or ruby. One way or another, this is one stone whose labels you’ll want to double-check. If it’s showing up for you now, take it as a caution to be careful of the labels you’ve been coming across in your own life. Have you been falling for someone’s false front or lies? Or has someone been imitating you, copying your style, work, or words? Or perhaps it’s you who’s putting on a false front, selling yourself as something you’re not? Or maybe it’s nothing sinister at all. It could simply be that you’re wearing a label that no longer fits.
The Bottom Line
AUTHENTICITY
“Beware of imitators and false labels.”
One Or More Of These Messages Are For You
-
- Humans are fond of labels, and they can be useful when they fit, but it’s wise not to trust them entirely.
- Even the most accurate label can’t begin to cover the complexity and uniqueness of the person behind it, so try not to make assumptions based on someone’s label.
- If you’ve been assigned or identifying with a certain label yourself lately, you might want to reexamine if it’s the right one for you.
- It’s always worth examining your stances and opinions to make sure they’re genuinely your own and not simply adopted from another source.
- If someone seems to like and dislike all the same things you do, that’s a sign they’re not being their authentic self.
- Stay extra alert in the next few days to falsehoods, scams, and deceptions. Someone might not be who they’re claiming to be.
- Someone you love may be falling for a fraud.
