Scorpio Season – Herbs and Astrology

Excerpt from The Perennial Wheel Autumn 2025

‘A remedy for every illness is to be found among the herbs of our own clime and if gathered at the proper time and in accordance with astrological principles there will be infinite use in every kind of ailment and disease.’ Raphael.

23.10.25 Solar Scorpio Ingress 04:50

We have the Sun which is associated with our vital force making it’s ingress into the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio. The hot energising vital force will work through Scorpios reproductive organs, urinary system, excretory systems and pelvic bones. It would be in your interest to support and tonify these systems and body parts to make most of the sun’s energy during these times.

Cleavers, Galium aparine, can aid lymphatic cleansing, which is often associated with this energy through these Scorpionic associated body areas.

The safe use of herbs will always depend upon your unique health situation, and you should always take into consideration any possible contraindications; pregnancy and lactation, children’s doses, herb/drug combinations, allergic reactions and up and coming surgery, seek advice from your trusted health professional if not 100% sure.

These transits may affect you personally, if you are predisposed, this can be seen within your natal and other related charts, usually by what is termed a Trinity of Testimonial’s.

Potentising herbal remedies. Potentising herbs can attune your herbs to the desired outcome by harvesting, preparing and also by timing administration, the giving of the first dose. The administration of the remedies, the first dose, was seen to be the most important aspect for potentising, as this would set the stage for healing. This was the traditional method of western astrological herbal practice.

For medicines that moisten, hydrate such as demulcents and emollients, dates would include; 23^rd and 31^st of October and the 8^th and 17^th November as the Sun moves through watery Scorpio and the moon visits the water signs.

Each date has to be assessed individually. Choosing planetary energies to aid the work can also be strategically placed within the astro-herb time recipe, along with avoiding issues with troublesome planets and aspects.
