What's Your Birthstone?

What’s Your Birthstone?

Birthstones were thought to represent the 12 tribes of Israel in the book of Exodus in the Bible. There are many people who also believe in their astrology values. Historically, leaders were often renowned for seeking guidance from trusted advisors, when it came to making important decisions. Some believe that the date and time you were born can have a significant impact on determining your characteristics and having an in-depth knowledge of your birth sign can help by enabling you to play to your strengths, while minimising your weakness.
