>>> COSMIC PLANT POWER <<<

by Rebecca Gordon

Did you ever consider how the words plant and planets are quite similar? Well, the planets are pure earthly manifestations of the cosmic energies above. In the wold of ancient Greece all the way through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, connections between certain plants and planets were widely known. Even physicians were required to know  plant- planet correlations and how to read a birth chart in order to make a proper diagnosis.

By surrounding yourself with certain plants in your home and garden, you can in fact conjure in the planetary energy to change your life in a desired way.  One simple way is just to go to your local flower store and see what calls to you. The other is by asking yourself what quality you may like to develop in your life, whether it is love, compassion, a go-getting spirit, or even better sleep. Plants that surround you will help you do that. 

I look at a few things when prescribing plants to people. Often I look at their birth chart and planetary transits as well. The transits show me what they may be going through and the best plant energy to work with. Or someone may simply know exactly what they need in their life and then we would fill the home with that plant. 

I have always been a lover of plants and flowers and an avid practicer of plant magic. Seeing and sharing space with a certain plant for days on end will create a symbiotic relationship between you and the living organism. I also recommend meditating on the shape of the plant so try to  have them in a place where your eyes would normally gaze often. There are vast lessons imbued in each plant in as far as the way they grow and how.

Here is an easy guide on how to transform your life with the power of plants. You may naturally be drawn to the plants of your Sun Sign and rising sign, though perhaps there is a quality in one of the other signs which you may benefit from more.
