We don't need to be astrologers to know our astro sign and even those beings who proclaim that astrology is an unscientific and unproven art will often know which birth sign they are, (I bet they look up their horoscope on the quiet!).
So much can be gleaned from our astrology chart that will help us to have insight into our lives, from our own personality traits to what kind of heavenly activity is making our work life less than efficient (try sending emails when Mercury is retrograde).
However actually working with those planetary influences via a liquid essence to create a healing effect on our lives is something unconsidered by most and me included.
So it was with fascination that I looked into Phyto- Vita Planetary essences.
As Above - So Below Angelika Hochadel, a Naturopath by trade, found that distilling an essence from a plant that directly manifests the qualities of a Planet could have tremendous healing potential.
Now being a Capricorn and used to the influence of Saturn, known for structure which is all well and good until it reflects out its strong negative qualities, I hailed this as good news.
After all, every living person and arguably all things will experience the planets direct influence on them and those conscious of this are not always clear on how to work through the issues it brings us (I don't bother explaining to the I.
T.
man about Mercury!) Mars for instance has many positive qualities, such as passion and courage but also can reflect itself as sarcastic and aggressive.
Sometimes we can directly experience this in ourselves or in others.
In this case the Mars essence - maybe together with Venus - would help this aggressive mood or situation, whilst at the same time look at the cause of those feelings.
Mmmm I wonder if Essence of Saturn will help me with my Cosmic order!
