This report is designed for those who are interested in tools which can support their own efforts toward growth and well-being on all levels. Using astrology, flower essences, gemstones and gem elixirs, color, music, aroma therapy, visualization, and other methods, one can transform difficult patterns in one's life and manifest more of one's positive potentials.

Our emphasis is not so much on eliminating undesirable traits or experiences as on bringing one into balance so that the positive expression of one's astrological signature can manifest. A person who is essentially inward and shy and who has trouble making his way in the world will not become a dynamic, flamboyant world-conqueror, but he can build confidence in reaching out to others. Rather than attempt to get rid of his shyness, the focus would be on discovering the positive gifts his gentleness may offer him and alleviating the more extreme, isolating aspects of his shy nature. Using these "vibrational" tools, issues that one may have struggled with for years can be eased, and long-buried talents and loves can be awakened.

Many of the tools suggested herein, including astrology, work on what esotericists refer to as the energy bodies, the chakras, or the aura. This subtle energy field, which emanates from every living thing, is where our energetic and emotional habits, thought patterns, belief systems, and so on reside. Introducing the energy pattern of a flower, plant, gem, or mineral into one's aura directly affects one's emotional and mental energies, and over a period of time this promotes long-lasting changes.

The key factor in using any of these remedies or tools is one's positive intentions, willingness, and desire for harmony and health. They are not "magic". Used consistently and with conscious intention, they reinforce and accelerate desired changes. In the back of this report is a listing of resources where you can obtain the flower essences and other products suggested for you. There are also other tips and instructions.

As you read over your report you may see a number of areas that you would like to work with. There is a lot of information here and the possibilities can be very exciting! However, it is usually best to attend to one issue or cluster of related issues (a theme) at one time. Choose whichever one is most meaningful or troublesome to you at present. Keep in mind that you will NOT manifest all of thepotential imbalances mentioned. Some issues may have already been resolved, and some will simply not be relevant. In deciding which issue to focus on, follow your intuition. Remember, too, that gentle, persistent effort is usually necessary in re-patterning and creating any real change. Best Wishes to You!

The position of the Sun in your birth chart represents the person you are at heart and the path you must follow to fulfill yourself as a unique individual. It also indicates your personal strength and vitality, as well as what activities or life experiences you require to feel alive and to replenish your life force. The Sun represents your personal identity.

Key issues: Self expression through what is familiar; nurturing soulful connections to others and to the past.

Key qualities: protective, nurturing, sympathetic, emotionally attached, retentive, devoted.

When you are at your best, you radiate sympathetic understanding and mother-like caring and concern. Taking care of others, especially "your own" (family, neighborhood, etc.) is central to your very identity. You are apt to be tenaciously loyal and somewhat irrational in your attachments. That is, it is not easy for you to be detached and objective. Like the adoring mother who can't see or admit her son's delinquent behavior, or the patriot who stoutly defends his country's treachery simply because "it is my country". Emotional affiliation is what matters most to you. You value belonging, family solidarity, home, and continuity with the past. Cherishing what is familiar, it may be very difficult for you to leave home either literally or figuratively. You are also very tied to the women in your life.

You are a feeling, sensitive person, easily hurt. Often you cover your tenderness with a self-protective shell to hide your sensitivity, moodiness, and emotional vulnerability. And you often hold on to feelings, hurt feelings or grudges as well as kindly ones, for a very long time. Learning to flow with your fluctuating emotions is important for you, also.

Patterns of Imbalance:

For worry, over-concern, and over-involvement in others lives: the flower essences RED CHESTNUT and CHICORY.

For longing for and clinging to the past, inability to live in the present or create a positive future: the flower essence HONEYSUCKLE.

For moodiness, emotional irritability and extremes: the flower essence CHAMOMILE.

For willingness to confront life and its possibilities, and coming out of one's shell: the flower essence MEXICAN SHELL FLOWER.

To balance and express mothering or nurturing qualities in a positive way, and to encourage self-nurturing: the flower essences MARIPOSA LILY, POMEGRANATE, and MILKY NIPPLE CACTUS.

Gemstones that may be beneficial to wear, carry, or take as an elixir:

MOONSTONES, PEARL, and CLEAR QUARTZ.

The position of the Moon in your birth chart reflects your emotional nature, what you need to feel nurtured, what feels familiar and comfortable to you. It is also your deeply-held beliefs and mostly unconscious or instinctive responses, which play themselves out in your closest personal relationships. Your moods, memories, dream life, and feeling-self are depicted by the moon in your birth chart.

Key issues: establishing emotional security and rootedness; Maintaining and preserving; Attachment to what is familiar and in the natural order.

Key qualities: steady, peaceable, slow to respond or react, fertile, abundant.

Emotionally you are rather sturdy, and able to maintain your poise and centeredness in the face of considerable outside pressure. You are slow to react and resistant to change, preferring contentment, peace, and the security of your familiar world to exciting novelty or "progress". You lean more to conservative or traditional ways, values, and wisdom, and find comfort in these things. You are also very instinctive and in touch with your senses and sensuality, the earth and the natural world. You love food, home comfort, simple pleasures. Because your emotional needs and tendencies are toward what is simple, wholesome, and natural, you may not be aware of, understand, or wish to investigate others' emotional complexities or depths. Thus, your solutions to emotional issues or problems between people are often sensible but simplistic, leaving out subtleties and the mysterious, unexplainable elements. Your down-to-earth, dollars-and-cents, meat-and-potatoes, if-it-aint-broke-do-not-fix-it approach does not always work when feelings, passions, or emotional yearnings are involved.

At your finest, you express the energies of The Good Mother / Earth Mother / Goddess: abundant hospitality, patient nurturing and caring, generous warmth and kindness.

Patterns of Imbalance:

When out of balance you are prone to lethargy and inertia, feeling heavy, sluggish, or stuck. Regular, rhythmic aerobic exercise in the outdoors, such as bicycling, swimming, or aerobic walking (not strolling!) would be excellent for this.

Frequently including spices which have warming, energizing properties, (such as ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne) would also help alleviate this. Although you have a natural affinity for the color green, you could use MAGENTA to stimulate and quicken your energies. Wearing this color will help you feel less inert. (In appendix I are more detailed instructions for how to directly incorporate color into your energy system.)

Flower essences that may be appropriate for you when you are out of balance include:

For being possessive, emotionally greedy, clinging: the flower essence CHICORY.

For fear of lack, inability to give or share freely, or to trust in a higher providence; insecurity based on feeling you do not have "enough" materially: the flower essence STAR THISTLE.

For feeling dull, sluggish, or that you are stagnating, unable to move forward toward change: the essences PEPPERMINT and CAYENNE.

Gemstones which can be worn, held, or taken as an elixir to attune you to the earth-goddess-nurturing aspects of yourself include: EMERALD, CHRYSOCOLLA, CHRYSOPRASE, and GREEN JASPER.

Issues of nurturing, emotional security and belonging, roots, caring and being cared for, and the ability to spontaneously express emotion and feelings are significant for you. You are hypersensitive to rejection, neglect, or being left out, and may carry feelings of loneliness and isolation which need to be healed. On a physical level, your digestion may be inhibited. Indifference to food or an inability to absorb and assimilate nutrients, with resultant underweight, may occur. On the other hand, overeating to feed an emotional hunger or inner emptiness is also possible. Discovering what you need to feel truly nourished and giving or providing these things for yourself is very important. Establishing a home that is truly a source of comfort and support may be chief among these. On an emotional or psychological level, a predispositon to be overly serious, conscientious, responsible, or guilty, to withhold yourself from others, and/or to simply shut down emotionally, is evident. You tend to be easily discouraged.

There are a number of essences that can help repatterns these emotional habits, including: ORANGE BLOSSOM ( to increase hope, overcome melancholia), CHERRY (for cheerfulness, verve), BORAGE (to increase optimism and courage), MIMULUS (for being overly cautious, timid, or fearful), PINE (for over conscientiousness, perfectionism, guilt), ZINNIA (for playfulness and joy).

If you tend to put up barriers between yourself and others, these essences support you opening up: MALLOW, VIOLET, WATER VIOLET, ALPINE AZALEA. To allow feelings to flow more freely: PINK MONKEY FLOWER, FUSCHIA, and GOLDEN EARDROPS.

Your relationship to your mother or woman in general may need to be healed if you received inadequate or inappropriate nurturing as a child. MARIPOSA LILY, EVENING PRIMROSE, and POMEGRANATE can be very useful there.

Aromatherpy scents which can be very useful include: GERANIUM (for discouragement or depression), ORANGE (helps alleviate fears and doubts), WINTERGREEN (helps create a positive attitude in overcoming health or other problems). These can be used in massage, as a perfume or in an aromatherapy diffuser or mister.

Energy work, (such as Reiki, polarity, or similar techniques) on the base chakra to alleviate insecurities and fears about survival, and on the sacral and solar plexus chakras to help clear congested emotional energies may prove beneficial, too.

Above all, you need to learn to care for yourself in healthy, fulfilling ways. ALong these lines the following books or tapes may be useful to you: "Healing Your Aloneness" by E. Chopich and M. Paul, "Inner Bonding" by M. Paul, "The Recovery of Your Inner Child" by Lucia Capacchione, and "Warming The Stone Child" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

The use of PINK, PEACH, and CORAL in decorating, clothing, etc. is helpful.

The position of Venus in your birth chart reveals your capacity for love, intimacy, pleasure, giving and receiving, and relationships. Representing, also, your taste in beauty and your values, it is a key to how you can create harmony within yourself.

For you, humor, wit, and intellectual companionship are very important aspects of intimate relating. Intelligence turns you on. You may take love lightly, be fickle or inconstant, or fall in love with people considerably younger than yourself. You need alot of relationships or at least alot of social interactions and contact with people to be happy. Friendship perhaps even more than passion is really essential to your well-being, and a great source of pleasure to you.

CITRINE, AMBER, and TOPAZ are compatible, not necessarily worn when you are out of balance, but to promote a sense of harmony with yourself. When out of balance, intellectual activities, reading, learning, or enjoying cultural or social events, can be helpful.

The position of Mercury in your birth chart describes your intellectual qualities, how you communicate or express yourself verbally, and in general how your thinking patterns operate.

You are very subjective, and your personal associations, past experiences, emotional prejudices, loyalties, etc. influence your thinking and your judgement a great deal. It is hard for you to separate thinking and feeling. You do have a good memory, and retain what you learn. Consider taking the flower essence HONEYSUCKLE if you are dwelling incessantly on the past.

The position of Mars in your birth chart indicates your will power, physical vitality and sexual drives, and your capacity for decisive action and self-assertion, as well as the musculature and adrenals in the physical body.

You tend to assert yourself rather indirectly. For instance, you may try to make others fulfill your will because it is "for us" or because "we" need to do thus-and-so rather than blatantly stating "I want this" or simply doing whatever it is you desire. You prefer to work in league with others who share your aims, in partnership, with co-workers, coalitions, and so forth. On your own, you often vacillate. When out of balance you will instigate disagreements simply to be in some type of relationship with the other person, rather than standing alone.

Your physical energies and drives are rather even and moderate, neither super abundant nor deficient.

(If you have the sun, moon, or ascendant in Aries, you do not mind standing on your own so much, and will be or try to be the dominant partner in relation to others). Working actively for fairness, justice, and equality is one way to direct your energy positively.

You are capable of extraordinary, almost super human, effort and when you want something you will not be denied. Your will-force is very powerful and when out of balance, extreme or obsessive. Excess ambition, (perhaps using force or coercion to achieve your aims) may drive you to do things which will create powerful enemies in your life and ultimately bring you down. You need to work hard and play hard, harder than most people, but learn to do so without being willfully destructive to others or to yourself.

Blockages or damage in the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras (due to painful early experiences in which you were harshly dominated or abused by a more powerful individual) may need to be healed. Symptoms of that include feeling extreme anger or rage for slight provocation, an inability to openly express anger until it reaches volcanic levels, fear of others' anger, fear or hatred of people in authority, an uncontrollable need to control others, and/or sadistic tendencies. Deep wells of (mostly unconscious) resentment towards the opposite sex may also complicate your sexual relationships until these patterns have been cleared. You may channel all of this energy into doing, achieving, or getting ahead, until a breakdown occurs, physically or in your personal life.

In addition to body-centered psychotherapies, deep tissue massage or rolfing, and energy work to clear the effects of trauma from your energy bodies, these flower and gem essences can accelerate and support your healing process: FUSCHIA and SCARLET MONKEY FLOWER (which surface and help release suppressed anger), HOLLY (for releasing toxic emotions such as spite, envy, the desire for revenge, jealous suspicions), FIREWEED (for releasing and healing old angers), TIGER LILY (balances overly aggressive, competitive, excessively "yang" energy).

TIGER'S EYE, either worn or taken in elixir form, helps align your personal will and emotions a higher purpose, and facilitates proper use of power.

The position of Jupiter in your birth chart represents the principle of growth, improvement, expansion, faith, and the quest for ultimate meaning or broader understanding of life.

You grow and expand your understanding of life through constant self-education, exposure to a wide range of people. Helping others by networking or becoming a source for the information you have gathered gives satisfaction. You have a well developed capacity for sharing knowledge and communicating.

The position of Saturn in your birth chart represents the bones, the skeleton, and the principles of hardness, heaviness, structure, stability, form, and boundaries. It shows what is hard for you, what you struggle with, where patterns of rigidity or fear hinder you, what is heavy for you, where you develop character, maturity, and depth through being tested.

You are apt to struggle with excessive self-consciousness, especially when performing or expressing yourself creatively. Your need to feel proud and to be recognized for your unique contributions may weigh you down so much that you experience no real pleasure, joy, or fun even in your play or creativity. You tend to try too hard and work too hard at it. Problems of the heart, both on a literal as well as metaphorical level, can arise from this. Without realizing it, you are also inclined to be very self-centered, exaggerating your own significance, or your own inadequacies. Flower essences that can be especially beneficial include: SUNFLOWER (for imbalances in the ego, either an inflated sense of self, or low self-esteem and excessive self-effacement), BUTTERCUP (to promote positive self-esteem, unattached to outer recognition), BORAGE (for heavy heartedness related to burdensome responsibilities) and HEATHER (for self-absorption and over-concern with your own problems).

The following information will enable you to make up your own flower essence remedies. However if you wish to try them but are not interested in doing it all yourself, you can contact a flower essence practitioner. Many astrological counselors and other holistic practitioners use the flower essences and gem essences in their work.

1. Choosing your essences: Generally you can use up to five essences at a time. Some people believe five essences is ideal, as the number five is associated in myth and folklore with the healing process. Others find using a single remedy at a time most effective. Follow your own intuition and impulses on this, but please do not try to address too many issues at once. Gem essences can be used with flower essences.

2. Making the remedy: Once you have chosen the essence or essences you wish to take, purchase them from the supplier in the concentrated form ("stock" bottles). You will need a glass dropper bottle such as pharmacists use for eye drops, which are sold at some pharmacies as well as through the flower essences companies. The one ounce size is standard. It should be sterilized by boiling it for a few minutes, then letting it cool. Then, put four drops of each concentrated essence into the bottle, close it, and shake it vigorously for about a minute so that the essences are well blended. Fill the bottle about 3/4 full with distilled or spring water. (For a more potent remedy you may wish to use color-solarized water instead, as described in the color therapy section). Then, close the bottle and, again, shake vigorously for about a minute. To preserve the mixture, add a teaspoon or so of either brandy or applecider vinegar. (They work equally well; it is a matter of personal taste and preference).

3. Using essences: The standard dosage is four drops four times a day, taken under the tongue. Taking more than four drops will not increase the remedy's effectiveness, and taking it more than four times a day is usually not necessary except in crisis situations. However, if you feel inclined to use it more frequently than four times a day, these remedies cannot be harmful in anyway. They are self-adjusting, meaning that you will simply not absorb more than you can use.

To further activate the remedy's effect, you may wish to use a simple affirmation that corresponds with your intent and the nature of the remedy. For instance, if you are taking a remedy to increase your receptivity to love, you can say "I now let love and appreciation into my life", each time you take the remedy. Keep the words simple, positive, and framed in the present tense. Or, you may wish to put a self-adhesive label on your bottle, with a list of the essences it contains and a short phrase such as "receptivity to love" or "opening the heart" which you will see each time you take the remedy.

Other very effective ways to use your remedy are to add 7 drops to a bath and/or several drops to an atomizer or spray bottle filled with water and spray it around the rooms of your house or workspace.

4. What to expect: Please understand the flower essences do not "take away" troublesome feelings or attitudes. Some people actually experience a temporary intensification of the issues the remedy is designed to address, what is referred to as a "healing crisis", as strong emotions or other reactions begin to surface. Naturally you can temporarily stop taking the remedy if you get too uncomfortable. You can also get some support while this process is occurring, since a willingness to experience and feel what is actually there is an intrinsic part of the healing. Most people, however, find the remedies quite gentle. Insights into the nature of the problem and how you are contributing to or maintaining it may emerge. Or, you may simply notice a gradual attitudinal, emotional, or energetic shift, and more harmony in that area of your life. Some very sensitive people feel the effects of the remedies on their chakras (particularly the heart and solar plexus) immediately upon taking them.

If the pattern you are working with is longstanding, as the ones which are related to your birth chart are apt to be, you may need more than one bottle of given remedy. Or, after one bottle, you may want to give it a rest, and then go back to that remedy later. If you frequently "forget" to take the remedy or simply lose interest in it, this may be a signal that now is not the time for that particular one.

Color can be used to calm or energize, to cleanse, to stimulate a given energy center in the body, or to promote balance and an overall sense of well-being. In addition to paying attention to how color affects you and using that awareness in your choice of clothing and home or office decor, here are two methods to utilize color:

1. Color-solarized water: This is a very easy method. The supplies needed are a clear glass jar or bottle, colored cellophane (which can be purchased at an art supply store), drinking water, sunshine, and a clear quartz crystal (optional). Sterilize the jar or bottle, fill it with water, and if you wish add a clear quartz crystal (this magnifies the effects of the color). Then, close the bottle, wrap it in the colored cellophane, and secure the cellophane with a rubberband at the top. Place the bottle in a sunny spot for 2-6 hours, preferably outdoors. After removing the crystal, you can drink it freely and/or use it to make your flower remedies.

2. Color Breathing: This exercise can be used to clear your energy system of psychic debris, stimulate a sluggish or blocked chakra, and promote healing. Choose a place that is well-ventilated. You may stand or sit as you prefer, keeping your spine erect. Begin by taking 2 or 3 deep, gentle breaths, inhaling slowly through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Then as you breathe in, see and feel the color filling your entire body. As you continue to breathe, imagine the color surrounding your body as well, extending out about two feet all round you, to create a beautiful egg-shaped bubble of colored light. Simply breathe in this color for 5-10 minutes.

To work on a particular chakra, you may start by breathing clear, white, or golden light (as described above). Then focus your attention on the center that needs clearing or balancing. For the base or root chakra, imagine a glowing sphere of bright, apple red at the very base of your spine. As you breathe, imagine the light becoming stronger and brighter. For the sacral center (located about 2 inches above the pubic bone) the color is orange. For the solar plexus (halfway between the navel and sternum), the color is bright yellow. For the heart, green or pink. For the throat, sky blue. For the brow center (located between the eyebrows and up about one inch), indigo blue. For the crown center (at the top of the head), purple, violet, or white. (You may use which ever one you feel most attracted to).

If you cannot "see" the color with your mind's eye, just imagine that it is there. An inability to visualize a certain color often indicates a particular need for that very color.

To derive healing benefits from visualization and color breathing, it is not necessary to spend a great deal of time. Five to ten minutes once or twice a day is quite adequate. And, once again you decide when you have "had enough" of a given color or exercise. A change in your feelings about a given color (less attraction to or "craving" for it, or less repulsion towards it, for instance) can be a clue.

Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils from plants and flowers. It is much different from flower essence therapy in that it is primarily the "healing fragrance" which influences body and emotions through the scents. (Flower essences are odorless). Aromatherapy can be utilized either as a perfume (especially applied to the chakras), in bath water, in massage oil, or diffused in the air via steam or incense. Read labels carefully and take precautions using these potent oils.
