I’ve been having a bit of trouble with some mental confusion and lack of my usual clarity of mind. I was finding the challenges of birth chart rectification work more troublesome and confusing than usual. I was making effort on a case, but little or no headway. It sabotaged my confidence and turned me to stopping work early and tuning out into escapism.
Finally, I realized that there is no reason the Sodalite should not work for this. My wife uses it as her main gem and I have used it successfully to neutralize the stressful transits of Neptune in the past. I just couldn’t think of why it was happening to me now. The major Neptune transit opposite my natal Pluto is on the backside and has been going for a while with little trouble associated with it. It would not now suddenly be increasing while Neptune is moving away from the exact aspect.
So I took a lot at the current transits, including declinations. And there it was: Neptune (now at 2S08 declination) recently moved into parallel to my natal Uranus (1S31). That is very much like Neptune making a conjunction to natal Uranus, but briefer (due to the tighter orbs for declination aspects).
So night before last I put a piece of Sodalite in the pouch for stones that hangs from my neck. By the next morning I could tell things had changed. My confidence and mental clarity were back. I was able to work more effectively than I’d been working in over a month. Neptune had moved into parallel to my natal Uranus (under 1° from exact) about a month ago.
This is why I use Sodalite as a Neptune stone, to smooth out the mental uncertainty, confusion, indecision, and the anxiety that comes with it. Sodalite holds a frequency very similar to Neptune — the positive, real Neptune. So it is an effective harmonizing stone for times of hard Neptune transits (or those with the hard natal aspects of Neptune). It reinforces the positive vibration of Neptune so that intuition and reason can function without hindrance from any anxiety or confusion. I recommend it to anyone who is experiencing these things.
Here is the first part of the description from The Crystal Bible:
