Herbsand diseases have been classified and described energetically in terms of astrological symbolism from the beginning of ancient Egyptian society. In fact, our understanding of the principles of diagnosis and treatment according to occult science were initially considered an essential part of the study of medicine. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, classified disease based on astrological phenomena, using planetary archetypes to decipher treatment and diagnosis of various illnesses.

Herbs of Mercury may support us in finding much needed clarity, and order, among the internal chaos often found in the monkey mind. They are also of tremendous value to those whose lives involve the written or spoken word. Writers, bloggers, song writers, editors, poets, etc. may all strongly benefit from Mercurial herbs. These plant guides help inspire fierce clarity, whether for meditation or for times in life that might be saturated with confusion and/or spacey-ness.


Love and beauty fall under the rulership of Venus. This encompasses all the realms of love, from romantic love, love of family, friends, community, the planet, and other living beings. It is this love, this coming together in empathy, which creates the harmony of Venus. This planetary energy is not just related to aesthetics, it also embodies the many layers of joy, whether casual or spiritual, which all of us seek.


Mars can also note where we might be prone to inflammation or imbalance. The placement of Mars and its energetic signature can note where we may hold potential triggers or undealt aspects of our personality, which might cause us to be overwhelmed, frustrated, or angry. This greatly helps understand the depths of particular triggers or inflammatory responses, assisting us in learning, discovering, and evolving them.


Jupiter is often thought of as the planet of abundance, higher wisdom, success, and expansiveness. Its energy allows us to have an expansive outlook and increased access to the resources we need. Jupiter gives off more energy than it receives, so it is not surprising that this planet represents the concepts of generosity and benevolence.


In medical astrology, Saturn is associated with the hard structures that hold our body, such as the skeletal system, the knees, the joints, teeth, nails, hair and skin. Saturn is also associated with the gallbladder, and the faculties that process minerals within the body (such as the kidneys and bladder). In esoteric anatomy, this is usually associated with the processing of spirit. The kidneys themselves are also seen as the doorway to spirit. For example, Chanca Piedra is a masterful herbal gallbladder tonic that breaks down calcification, while increasing bile production and clearing out stagnant toxins.


The herbs of Pluto are moist, potent, and energetically procreative. Most of them have a strength to them, from the way they grow or smell to the impact they give when intaking them. Plutonian herbs cause deep transformations in the body, from powerful healing plants that abolish dis-eases (like anticancer herbs) to those that emotionally shift the body into higher frequencies. These herbs are excellent for easing us through long-term transitions in life, as well as dispelling energies, or situations that no longer serve a purpose. On a more magical note, the herbs of Pluto help us touch the abyss of our emotional bodies and allow us to fully evolve our dharma, our spiritual purpose.

I graduated from UNCA in 2020, as a new mom and in the full swing of the pandemic. It was my 3rd attempt at college and second time transfering schools/changing majors, so I wasn't going to let anything stop me this time! Of course, it helped that I had the support of the wonderful HWP department to see me through, and I couldn't have designed a better major to fit my career path! After graduation, I continued blazing my own trail as an entrepreneur, but instead of running a cleaning business (what I did to put myself through college), I started building my yoga therapy and astrology business by launching a podcast, called The Science of Light. Things I learned while in school at UNCA have definitely helped inform that show, and I bring up concepts I learned in HWP classes all the time!


I am a yoga teacher (RYT 500), recovering addict, entrepreneur, adventurer and experience collector. During my last year at UNCA, I began studying to become a yoga therapist (C-IAYT) and certified Vedic astrologer. When I'm not immersing myself in the work of helping others heal from trauma and cultivate resilience in their lives, relationships, or businesses, I can probably be found snuggling with my partner and our son, or playing in the woods somewhere in the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina.


And then there were the herbs. There would have been a large assortment, but surely parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme would have been among them. After all, Simon and Garfunkel told us so, in the lyrics of Scarborough Fair, the memorable ballad featured on the soundtrack of the movie The Graduate:


Rosemary was also part of that potion, but historically the herb is better known for its supposed memory-enhancing effect. In ancient Greece, so the story goes, students would hang rosemary around their neck to improve memory and concentration. That might have worked, had they also prepared for their exams while sniffing rosemary. Modern studies have shown that recall is improved when subjects are exposed to the same smell during a test as during the learning process. The strong, lingering scent of rosemary may well have been responsible for its inclusion in medieval wedding bouquets as a symbol reminding lovers of their vows. Thyme also has a long-lasting and pleasing scent, which was thought to ward off melancholy. The ancient Greeks placed some in their baths.


When looking through this deck I saw cards 35 and 29 together and they felt like perfect partners. 35 Horsetail Patience aligns with the restriction and discipline of Saturn. The Venus aspect encourages us to find the beauty in the situation rather than focusing on what is hindering us. 29 Schisandra Grace, which reminds me of XIV Temperance, suggests the growth that is possible when we accept and balance dualities rather than reacting to, or battling against, them. This approach brings forth the loving and beautiful energy associated with Venus and becomes a beacon for others.


Even without knowledge of the herbal aspects, or the astrological associations, it is possible to read the imagery of the cards and discern the meanings. For example, when I see horses I think of personal power. Seeing the horse sitting quietly watching the waterfall rather than trying to struggle against it portrays the intended meaning. Sometimes the best thing we can do is sit and wait. Nevertheless, taking the time to learn the herbal and astrological information opens us up to even more.


Furthermore, I love it when cards remind me of actual people. It creates an immediate connection for me. The woman on 33 Arnica Teacher reminds me of my Mum in so many ways. The write up mentions trauma and healing. This confronts me with the duality mentioned earlier. There are many ways to teach and to learn. This is a card I will definitely spend a lot of time with.


It is very natural for me to pair the above two cards. I always burn Palo Santo when doing ancestral work and this card helps to explain why I felt guided to do so. Through this type of work, I have begun to understand more about my parents and to recognise the valuable lessons they taught me. I have also began to reconcile my wishes with the big picture that is slowly unravelling before me.


It is easy for an association to become ensconced which may mean we miss out on opportunities to expand our awareness and knowledge. For example, I am fascinated by the information that is stored in our DNA and what we contribute especially in regards to understanding our inherent yet often latent gifts. This card has given me a focused way of tuning into this. I may not have discovered this if I had just relied on what rosemary signifies for me. Fortunately, writing these posts prevents me from skimming over things.


Put simply though, I am very taken with this deck. I love the artwork, the inclusions, (ie the big cats), the write-ups in the guidebook, what it taps me into, and the overall connection I feel when I use it. The Herbal Astrology Oracle contains ancient wisdom and connects us to the wisdom that resides within us all. It is wonderful.

Here are some character traits from Rosemary West's birth chart. This description is far from being comprehensive but it can shed light on his/her personality, which is still interesting for professional astrologers or astrology lovers.


N.B.: as this celebrity's birth time is unknown, the chart is arbitrarily calculated for 12:00 PM - the legal time for his/her place of birth; since astrological houses are not taken into account, this astrological profile excerpt is less detailed than those for which the birth time is known.
