So many nice wishes here for our own Knight In Shining Armor that mine seems plain. My wishes goes out to you Nicolas Cage for a wondeful Birthday today and wishing you good health and good times. You Light Up My Life by your wonderful spirit and enjoying your many talents through your films and yet to come. Happy Birthday and New Year. your fan always, Nancy Roelke
Oh my...that cake looks mouthwatering Kels....do you think the knight of honour would mind if we took it to our knight and witches party to enjoy with our mulled wine? He is invited too of course!
Just like Nic, this crystal is very special, potent and rare.
In some crysal traditions, garnet is the January birthstone, (I think our Scarlet Witch, lady Trueheart will be saying a little more about that in a minute!) This particular garnet is in it's rawest purest from, atop a mighty smoky manifestation quartz. The synthesis of energies of this piece is exceptional.
"The Manifestation Quartz Crystal can be recognized by a small crystal totally enclosed within a larger crystal. These crystals are quite rare. These crystals can also be used [as well as in manifestation] to facilitate artistic creativity, creative thinking, agricultural pursuits, and to increase or decrease [dependant upon the direction of the energy] any aspect of ones life." from Love Is In The Earth, by Melody
Garnet is said to bring out your best qualities, making you attractive to other people and new friends. It encourages passionate devotion to friends, family, partners, ideals and goals. Increases vitality and stamina, and is good for business success and relationships.
Helps alleviate circulatory problems - heart, blood and lungs, anaemia, kidneys, high and low blood pressure, exhaustion and gall stones.
For Nicolas Cage, January 2011 is a 1 Personal Month in a 3 Personal Year. It is a time of dynamism, courage, and eagerness to begin the new. Last month's blues are gone and Nicolas feels he is on top of the world. He is more original and creative than at any time of this already creative year.
Many of those in a 3 Personal Rhythm Cycle may finally break out of unrewarding patterns. Some may even make career changes, or start their own businesses. This is not a time to be squeamish in any area of his life - be it money, career or romance. Cage may experience an urge to write, paint, or express himself in some other creative way. By all means, he should take on the challenge.
If Nicolas Cage is not already involved, he may well meet someone special, but the relationship, while intense and passionate, may not be a lasting one.
January 2011 is a month that will also bring Nicolas opportunities to mingle with new acquaintances at social events. He will be outgoing and witty. These are great opportunities to make lasting contacts which will help Cage's career and other endeavors.
A warning to the easily excitable: Nicolas Cage must not brag about his plans and accomplishments. The effect may backfire.
Capricorn, Friday, 7 January 2011 Don't you deserve a break? Haven't you been struggling and striving for far too long? Isn't it time you enjoyed a reward? You deserve one. The year may yet be young but it has already taken a lot out of you. This weekend promises comfort and reassurance. It comes in the form of an invitation. You don't have to accept it. You can easily talk yourself into a spirit of self-denial. But if you look at what's on offer and make even a slight attempt to avail yourself of it, you will find good things come about surprisingly easily.
Most of us know our astrological sign, one of the twelve possibilities determined by our birthday; or more specifically, the month. But did you also know that in addition to a constellation, birthstone and temperament, your zodiac sign also comes with a flower?
In January, the most commonly accepted birth flower is the Carnation. This familiar flower (often seen in red, white and pink) is well-suited for this time of year, as the word “carnation” elicits the idea of “incarnation” or “reincarnation”—birth and rebirth. It’s the ideal theme to kick off a New Year.
Another flower associated with Capricorns is the Snowdrop, or milk flower. The lesser-known has less of a blossom to it than the carnation; in fact, it resembles a hanging bulb shaded by three standalone petals in white. A delicate, romantic flower, the snowdrop effortlessly symbolizes delicateness and purity. True to its name, it survives easily and even flourishes in the winter months, even in snow.
If you were born December 22-January 21, your stone is the Garnet, red in color much like the most popular shade of carnation. You are known to be stable, patient and reliable. Relatedly, your birth flower connotes persistent love and fidelity.

Wow Lady True,thank you so much for offering up all this astro numerology info for Nic's Birthday....it sounds like he was destined to have a great day!!
Your hubby clearly has great taste in jewelery, I bet your ring is gorgeous! of all my gemstone rings, my red garnet ring is the one people seem to love the most. beautiful energizing ring!
It is very beautiful, and he was afraid I wouldn't like it, thought it was too plain. He prefers more ornate and I like simple. But it is perfect. I must post a pic of it. I don't have jewellry so it is a big thing for me.
