As the transitions of the seasons remind us of life's great transitions, so the changes of the moon remind us of the changes constantly taking place within ourselves.  The moon varies, not only in the phases of its cycle, but in its interaction with the earth.
 
Moonstone is said in crystal healing to help calm responses and stress, and avoid overreacton.  It brings hope, enhances feminine energies, sensitivity, intuition, and psychic abilities.  It is also said to bring strong energies of abundance to one's life.
 
Moonstone is a stone of protection, especially during childbirth, pregnancy, and travel at sea.  It is a stone of calm and relief from emotional stress.  It is also associated with love of all kinds.
