Arubi

I was bestowed this name and the title 'The Ruby Empress' - how could this be real?  Is this a phantasm?  I am a nobody and am happy being so.  What did this mean?  How will I be affected with such benediction?

I needed to go deep into the name, the tittle, the symbolism, the indirect conveyance.

The Ruby is considered to be the most powerful gem in the universe, and is associated with many metaphysical properties. To own a ruby is to be content and at peace. Placed under a pillow the ruby may ward off bad dreams. Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand so as to receive the life force and have protection. Given as a gift, the ruby is a symbol of friendship and love.

The ruby is also the symbol of royalty.  It is the chosen stone for kings, emperors, dignitaries and priests for its ability to help make wise and noble decisions.  The famous 'Star of India' known as the largest and costliest ruby, weighs 100 carats and is now at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.  Emperor Napolean gifted the The Ruby Empress Tiara to his second wife Marie Louise in 1810 and is set with oval and round rubies. 

How does this relate to me?  The "stone of fire and passion" is for one living at the heart, vibrating to the number 3, has the astrological sign Sagittarius.  It encourages one to follow your dreams and your bliss, brings light to the dark places in one's life, brings awareness to places still needing improvement, and helps you clear the path.  The Ruby heightens our love for life, gives motivation for us to choose our path wisely, teaches you how precious you are, and most of all helps you transform from the person you are to the person you want to be and wish to be, in your heart.

I accept this benevolence with gratitude, with humility and with the realization that though I may have a long way to go, at least my journey has begun.
