Article: You can charge crystals by placing them in a spot where they will receive direct sunlight or moonlight. The light will penetrate your crystal and fill it with positive energy. To use light to purify a crystal, place the crystal in a spot where it will be directly exposed to the light. For example, you may want to set your crystal on a table or banister outside, or on an open windowsill facing the moon or sun. Allow your crystal to be exposed to light for about 24 hours. You may need to leave your crystal in place for a couple of days or nights to make sure that it receives adequate light. You can also charge a crystal using other crystals. To do this, you will need to create a circle using several crystals and place the crystal that you want to be charged in the center of the circle. Leave the crystal in the center of the circle for about 24 hours. If you want your crystal to be charged with the energy of the earth, then you may want to place your crystal in your garden or even bury it in the soil. Surrounding your crystal with plants and dirt can help to charge your crystal with earth energy. If you decide to bury your crystal, place a marker so that you will remember where you buried it. This can be called lots of things. When people use "energy" to charge a crystal, what they mean might not always be exactly the same. Directing one's own energy into the object can refer to the act of imagining your aura/prana/chi/qi/spirit entering the crystal. Many people claim to be able to feel this occur. As it is an intuitive process, you may wish to rely on your own instincts or those of a mentor in order to determine if you are doing this properly. Prayers, visualizing your intentions, chanting and focused meditation on an idea all are ways in which to direct thoughts and intentions onto a crystal. Make sure that you take your time when directing your thoughts into your crystals. Often, the more time or work you put into directing these thoughts, the more powerful the charge is perceived to be. Try closing your eyes and imagining that the crystal is filling with light. Imagine the crystal becoming so bright and full of light that you cannot look at it. Pray for the crystal to become charged with the power to heal. You can pray to God, the earth, or whatever you believe is the guiding force in your life. Magical spells can be a good way to charge a crystal with energy for healing. There are a great many different kinds of magical practices, and many may be able to offer spells and rituals suited towards these purposes. Check out the occult section at your local library or bookseller to find specific spells. You can also create own spell. To create your own spell, think about what you want the crystal to be able to do. For example, if you want the crystal to have the power to heal, then write that down. Then, think about what you might say to represent your goal for the crystal. Many people like to put spells into the form of a rhyming poem, but you can do what feels natural for you. For example, if you wanted the crystal to have the power to heal, then you might write something like, "Clear and strong, full of light, may this crystal increase my might." Perform your spell. You can simply speak your spell out loud while holding the crystal, or perform your spell with a little more ceremony, such as by lighting a few candles and placing the crystal on a special surface, like an altar.

Article: Since Aquarius is curious about everything, they love surprises. They love learning, they love experience, they love doing -- they love living to the fullest. A spicy, fulfilling relationship to them is one that keeps their brains running, wondering what's around the corner. So surprise them! Don't be afraid to go for the shock factor. It's almost impossible to shock an Aquarius, so make it a personal challenge to do so! Suggest doing some crazy things -- chocolate covered grasshoppers, anyone? Aquarians, in general, are open books. They have no qualms when it comes to talking about even the most taboo of topics. Engage them in politics, current events, morals and ethics -- whatever it is, they'll take it and run with it. The more things you're capable of talking about together, the better! Don't worry about offending their principles. They love hearing others' opinions, even if they don't agree with their own. So long as you have an opinion and a reason to stand behind it, they'll respect what you have to say. As far as the signs go, they're one of the best, most diplomatic arguers and conversationalists. You know how we talked about Aquarius' creativity? Do it together! While you should definitely have separate hobbies, do spend some of your free time combining powers. Whether it's pottery, designing a website, or planning a trip, your relationship will be that much sturdier when you have projects to work on. One of the benefits of dating an Aquarius? They can teach you. If you don't know thing one about photography, playing the piano, or whatever it is your Aquarius does well, have him show you the ropes. You'll stand on your own two feet eventually, but in the meantime, let him wrap his arms around you while you both click the buttons or pound the ivories. Aquarius is a sign that resonates strongest in the brain. His heart is not something he uses often -- or at least willingly. If you want to relate to him, use reason and logic. Don't use tears, guilt, or any other feeling to get your way. It won't work. But a sound argument just might! If you're having a fight, explain how you're feeling in the most reasonable of terms. Remove yourself from you for a bit and take a more objective stance. Instead of saying, "Oh my gosh!!, why did you use the last of the toilet paper and not tell me?!" say, "I was very inconvenienced by not having any toilet paper and could've avoided the situation if you had told me." He'll respond much more promptly. So here's the thing about Aquarius: since they're not really keen on emotions, they're susceptible to freaking out when they get them. So if your man starts being a bit avoidant or anxious, it actually could be because his feelings are getting too strong. When this happens, remember this fact -- or the relationship will fall apart very quickly. The only thing you can really do is to talk about it. Don't jump to any conclusions and be as tactful as possible. A simple, "Hey, I've noticed a change in your behavior recently" might be enough for him to 'fess up. And definitely don't freak out yourself!
