Gemini and Mercury body associations and remedies
During the solar ingress into the mutable air sign of Gemini, the Sun’s vital force will be visiting the regions of the shoulders, arms, hands and lungs. It would be in your interest to support and tonify these body regions to make the most of the Sun’s energies at this time.
With the ruling planet of Gemini being Mercury, supporting the lungs, brain, respiratory and nervous systems will also be of benefit.
Herbs associated with typical Gemini syndromes include; Mullein Verbascum olympicum and Plantain Plantago lanceolata. Basil essential oil, Kali Mur cell salt and Cerato flower essence are also associated with Gemini related syndromes.

Potentising Herbal Remedies
Potentising herbs can attune your herbs to the desired outcome by harvesting, preparing and timing the administration of the remedy. The first dose was seen to be the most important for potentising as this sets the stage for healing. This was the traditional method of western astrological herbal practice.
For potentising herbs relative to air conditions and of Gemini choosing dates when the Moon is visiting air signs is ideal. The days when both luminaries are in Air signs include;21,25,26,27, and 28 May on the waxing Moon phase and 4,5,6,7,13,14 and 15 on the waning moon. Along with considering the sign and phase, the placement of Ascendant and ruling planet are important to consider.
‘Thou shalt do nothing without the assistance of the moon,’ Agrippa.
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, though otherwise they are general.
If you are likely to be susceptible to this influence, making preparations of meditation and prayer, practicing forms of psychic self defence maybe necessary. The best psychic self defence is considered to be from those of your personal ancestral roots and not of foreign belief systems. Creating and maintaining a strong ancestral veneration practice is seen to strengthen against malicious forces.
The safe use of herbs and other remedies 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.
