Choose Your Own Flower Remedies - Part 3

Years ago, I walked into a supermarket in search of Bach Flowers. I knew very little, only that there were remedies for different mental and emotional states, for example; anxiety, jealousy, self-doubt, undue optimism or even arrogance. Going by the descriptions, I chose the ones that sounded like me. Since then I've discovered that my choice of remedies corresponds to the more influential signs in my birth chart: Moon in Capricorn, North Node in 4th House, Past and Present Life Suns in Aquarius (maybe I flunked and got a do-over?) 

Apparently, we can use our birth charts to narrow down the range of Bach Flowers, making the selection process easier. We can then leverage the healing qualities in the flowers to soften our limitations and unlock our strengths, which often coincide with our star signs.  


Bach’s original remedies were just 12, he called them the The Twelve Healers. Bach hypothesized that they corresponded to the Moon Sign in our birth charts. He didn't connect the dots, that was done by Peter Damian in his book, The 12 Healers of the Zodiac. His book is great, I work with it myself. When clients need an extra nudge, or if they are really stuck in the shadow of their zodiac signs, I use a different set of association that I came up with myself. You’ll find those associations in an article of mind with OM Times Magazine HERE.

A Few Parting Words ... 
  • Bach Flower Remedies are complementary to medical care, not alternative. Please see a doctor if you are worried about a medical condition or symptom. Take care of yourself =) 
  • Birth charts have a lot going on, with aspects or conjunctions playing the planets and signs off each other to dial up (or down) the effects. Go by your intuition and self-awareness when deciding which remedies to take. For example, my sun is in Aquarius but Water Violet wasn't my first choice.
  • I haven't explored the Zodiac in depth as that would take ages and I still feel like a beginner with astrology. If you'd like to know more about the meaning of the planets, signs or houses in your birth chart, visit CafeAstrology.comSee here for Sun SignsMoon Signs and Nodes of the Moon/Past Lives.
