We said it: Sagittarius is an incurable optimist and for this reason when he falls he knows how to get up easily, resuming his run without breaking down.

The restlessness of Sagittarius, of course, diminishes in maturity: those born under this sign at some point in their life tend to make more peaceful choices.

Both Sagittarius women and men are quite simple on the love front: they look for a loyal and reliable partner, with whom they can be light, carefree and eat well.
Lucky stone: the magic of crystal therapy
Before proceeding into the world of precious gems and the Sagittarius birthstone, it is necessary to clarify this alternative medicine practice. According to the supporters of crystal therapy, the stones are able to eliminate dysfunctions or ailments through the application of minerals on certain parts of the body.
Each stone, according to this practice, would be endowed with a sort of "energy field" capable of coming into contact with the animal kingdom, of whatever shape it is. Thanks to the crystal and its work on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level, crystal therapy restores balance and harmony.
Obviously, there is no scientific evidence regarding this practice, nor any evidence of clinical-medical efficacy or usefulness. This method, however, goes back to medieval beliefs and speculations in philosophical and alchemical matters, for which each stone was attributed a specific therapeutic function, specific for each pathology.
