Herbs are wonderful tools to invoke in your spiritual practice. When looking at astrology, there is a deep practice and understanding of how the stars and planets align with our human bodies. “As above, so below. As within, so without. As the universe, so the soul” is one explanation on this. We call this aspect of astrology, medical astrology.
I’ve put together a list of some herbs that are available to us (some in our neighbourhoods!) and how they can be support tools for us during our healing and elevation of self, throughout Gemini season.
Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is known for communication and observation: written, oral and mental capacity. Mercury can be associated with our nervous system due to these qualities.
Lavender
Lavender is a common garden herb with various properties. One of those healing properties includes helping to quiet the mind, as it can aid with anxiety. Lavender can also help with those sleepless nights, pushing the snooze button on our minds.
Juniper Berries
These berries have neuro protective prosperities; which means that they can help protect the brain and nervous system. Juniper berries can be found walking around your neighbour hood and public trails (depending on where you live).
Lemongrass
One of my favourite herbs, lemongrass carries properties that can aid with headaches, uplift your mood and calm the central nervous system. Using this herb in a tea or as an essential oil blend, can do wonders!
Marjoram
For those days when the anxiety boils into aggression, this herb can help ease those harsh thoughts, calm our nervous system and can help with insomnia due to stress and anxiety.
These are just a few herbs that are associated with Mercury and can help us during Gemini season. These herbs are very popular and easily accessible, which is why I chose to share them.
You can find all of these herbs in various Mystic Moon Medicine products including: So Mote It Breathe tea blend, Empress Prosperity bath soak, High Priestess tincture & Mystic Rising bath soak - all found in The Black Cat Apothecary & Botanica!
