Ancient scholars discovered a systematic law from the activities of the heavenly bodies, thus establishing astrology. Astrology allows people to appreciate how changes in the universe govern nature and everything on earth. Astrology was originally used to predict the weather, the harvest of crops, and even the fate of a country. Soon, astrologers began to believe that the birth of human beings was also affected by the operation of celestial bodies. Astrology has further developed into the science of human behavior.
Essential oils and aromatherapy, are the rich gifts of nature and the most essential part of plants. Through these aromas, human beings can obtain the precious energy of nature, so that the body and mind can be balanced. At first glance, astrology and essential oils may seem to be two distinct aspects. However, in 1652, a great astrologer and physician of herbal medicine, Nicholas Culpeper, combined the medicinal properties of plants with astrology. He put forward a unique point of view in his book [Culpeper’s Complete Herbal and English Physician]: He believed that medicinal herbs have masculine and feminine distinctions, and proper medicinal herbs must be selected in order to exert their curative effect.
For example: marjoram, lavender, rosemary are masculine herbs; chamomile, eucalyptus, rose are feminine herbs.
Masculine signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) are suitable for feminine herbs;
And feminine signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces) are suitable for masculine herbs.
