Astrology and Natural Remedies: Healing with Herbs and Plants

One area of astrology that is often overlooked is its connection to natural remedies. Many plants and herbs are associated with specific planets and can be used to promote health and wellness.

The connection between plants and planets has been studied for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that each planet was associated with specific plants and herbs. For example, the sun was associated with plants that had yellow or orange flowers, while the moon was associated with plants that had a high water content. These associations were based on the qualities of each planet and how they influenced the natural world.

In modern times, we can still use astrology to guide our use of natural remedies. By understanding the planetary associations of plants and herbs, we can choose remedies that are aligned with our specific astrological chart. For example, if you have a strong Mars influence in your chart, you may benefit from using plants associated with Mars, such as ginger or cayenne pepper. If you have a strong Venus influence, you may benefit from using plants associated with Venus, such as lavender or rose.

Here are some tips for using natural remedies based on astrology:

1. Consult with Nora: If you're new to astrology, it can be helpful to consult with Nora (or a human astrologer) to understand your chart and which plants and herbs are most beneficial for you. You can ask questions like: What plants are associated with Mars? How can I use lavender to promote relaxation? What herbs are associated with Jupiter? What remedies are best for my Mars influence? How can I balance my Saturn influence with natural remedies?

2. Understand planetary associations: Here are some of the herbs and plants associated with each planet:

• Sun: marigold, St. John's wort, rosemary, saffron, cinnamon, bay laurel, and frankincense

• Moon: jasmine, white rose, lily, gardenia, iris, chamomile, and lavender

• Mercury: lavender, mint, parsley, fennel, caraway, and dill

• Venus: rose, myrtle. apple blossom, jasmine, yarrow, violet, vervain

3. Use essential oils: Essential oils are a convenient way to incorporate the planetary associations of plants and herbs into your daily routine. For example, if you want to bring more Saturn energy into your life, you could use essential oils such as cypress or frankincense.

4. Create an astrological garden: If you have space, you could create an astrological garden by planting herbs and plants associated with the planets that are most prominent in your chart.

By incorporating astrology into your use of natural remedies, you can create a holistic approach to health and wellness. Understanding the planetary associations of plants and herbs can help you choose remedies that are aligned with your specific astrological chart, promoting balance and harmony in your life.
