Bridging Herbalism & Astrology
Plants.
Plants Are A Foundational Necessity To All Human Life. Trees Allow Us To Breath, Adaptogen Herbs Allow Us To Heal, And So Forth. What Many Don’t Know Is That The Uniqueness Of A Plant Is Not Limited To What The Eye Can See: Color, Shape, Size, etc. Some Plant’s Correspond With The Lunar Energy Of The Moon, Preferring To Grow In Dark, Moist Places, While Other Plants Correspond With The Solar Energy Of The Sun, Preferring To Grow In Hot, Dry Places. Each Of These Plants ALSO Have Their Own Specific Planetary Correspondences, (Which Make Sense As Some Planets Can Be Dry & Hot While Others Are Wet & Cool). This Is Why Herbalism Is So Widely Known, By Several Cultures Worldwide, As They Share The Same Fundamental Core Principles As Astrology. Since The Beginning Of Time, Both Eastern & Western Traditions Have Used Traditional Alchemy As Their Root Practice In Producing Herbal Medicine, Spagyrics & Other Remedies. In Essence, These Relationships That Our Earthly Plants Share With Our Celestial Planets Did Not Go Ignored. The Medical Science Of Astrological Bodies Has Been Recognized In The European Model Of Practice, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Tibetan Medicine, & In South American Traditions. Herbalism Is A Beautiful Gift To Humanity And It’s Potency Is Enhanced By Our Knowledge And Application Of Astrological Concepts.
This Earthly Matter Of Herbalism Is What We Know As The “So Below” Component Of Alchemy.
Planets.
Did You Know Plants, Themselves, Are Governed By Specific Planets? That’s Right. People Aren’t The Only Organisms Affected By The Stars. We Can Actually Determine The Planetary Correspondence Of Certain Plants Based On Some Of Their Physical Features Like Color, Taste, and Texture. In Fact, Astrology & Herbalism Share The SAME Exact Principles In Herbal & Medical Traditions Around The World. A Huge Part Of Renaissance Era, Medical Astrology Played A Key Role In The Alchemical Traditions Of Herbalism. In Ancient Times, It Was Standard For Any Medical Level & University Trained Physician To Understand Astrology. This Is Because Certain Planets Correspond With Certain Herbal Energetics Which Correspond With Certain Organs Within The Human Body. And Each Human Body Is Already Born Into The World With Their Own Planetary Makeup (As It Relates To Their Body’s Internal Environment). With Many Developed Medical Astrologers & Indigenous Communities Understand The Flowers Sprouting Out Of The Soil To Be One In The Same With The Stars Burning In The Sky. Astrology Plays A Key Role In Determining Which Herbs Work Best For Each Unique Human Body As It Considers Crucial Factors In Promoting Wholistic Evaluations Such As The Best Harvesting Time For Certain Plants In Regards To The Celestial Influences Of The Planets At That Time.

People.
No Human Body, Mind & Spirit Operates The Same As It’s Neighbor’s. Our Bodily Constitutions And Energetic Functions Are Far Too Unique For Us Herbalists To Suggest The Same Herb For Two People Simply Because They Share The Same Symptoms. Different Bodies Cope With Different Energetic Qualities. Different Bodies Are Ruled By Different Planets. Therefore: Different Bodies Require Different Remedies. Essentially — What This Means Is — Every Body Must Be Evaluated In Respect Of It’s OWN Constitutional Make-Up, Planetary Rulers, Excesses & Deficiencies Of Energetics Components And So Forth. These Unique Factors Specific To Each Individual Body Are Revealed When We Analyze The Natal Birth Chart Of Each Client, As This Provides Us With A Microscopic View, (Or Bodily Map) Of The Client’s Internal State, Including Potential Diseases. The Bridging Of Herbalism & Astrology Allows Us To See Which Herbs, At What Particular Time & In What Particular Sequence Would Best Suit A Client’s Health Needs.
The Human Being, Having Mastered Alchemy, Serves As The Bridge Between Earthly Matter & Cosmic Consciousness, Embodying The Whole Alchemical Principle of “As Above, So Below”.
