Bach Flower Remedies
& Nature Essences

** My source for the correspondences is Peter Damien’s “An Astrological Study of the Bach Flower Remedies”.

The Sun, Moon and Rising (or Ascendant) aspects of a personality are major facets of the human microcosm, of your personality structure. The 'signs' describe your personal alignments with star groups (constellations) at your time of birth, your individual relationship to and expression of the cosmos macrocosm. Even if you only know your "Star sign" (Sun) Flower Remedy, that's a help. I suggest getting your natal chart made up if you don't already know the others.

The purpose of the my list is firstly to help you to recognize your 'type' Bach Flower Remedy (see "Nature of personality" in Bach Flower Remedies for Therapists). With this information, you can make up a Balance Mix, according to your Sun, Moon and Rising signs. Depending on those signs, your Balance Mix would be one, two or three Flower Remedies. If all three are the same sign, then that one Remedy will be especially supportive for you. Keep handy the relevant stock bottle/s. Especially if going through tough, 'rocky' or critical times, keep a dose / mixture bottle at hand, and use it as you need without hesitation.

As example, my Sun is in Capricorn, Moon in Aries, and Rising is Leo, so my Balance Mix is Mimulus, Impatiens, and Vervain. Which I do indeed find invaluable! I sometimes use just one of them, and other times, say through house moving, am glad to have a dose mix bottle of all three on hand.

Then, I have also added a 'key word' peep of information about each Remedy. Remember that anyone can experience the negative outlooks, whether or not its your 'type' of nature, as lifelong pattern. The word/s in "quotes" describe the strengths and virtues that Dr. Bach saw the person of that type developing through their lifetime. The dates indicate the Sun sign times (e.g. birthday March 30th = Sun in Aries, 'my star sign'). The italic words describe the negative outlook, followed by the positive aspects.
