Scorpio - 10/23-11/21.
A WATER sign ruled by both Mars and Pluto.
Scorpio's plants are often found in remote places or on poor ground.
They will likely have thorns, can be red in color, and grow under adversity.
The good news is, most of these plants are nearly indestructible! This makes
them desirable for every gardener.
The reproductive organs are ruled by Scorpio, so these are plants that
balance the hormones, regulate the menstrual cycle, help with childbirth and
pregnancy. Until this century, Scorpio was ruled by Mars, and the herbs
associated with it had to do with the urogenital system and the colon. Many of the
herbs related to Scorpio are cleansing and revitalizing. Now, astrologers
assign Scorpio to Pluto, discovered in 1930 (Pluto is said by astrologers to be a higher octave of Mars). Physiologically, Scorpio involves the processes of catabolism and anabolism, the death and regeneration
of body cells. Diseases of Scorpio are often involved with the slow buildup of
toxic substances in the body (carcinogens, etc) or in the mind (anger,
jealousy). Scorpio loves a spice with depth and complexity. Camphor Basil adds
rich flavor to every dish it seasons, and its own aphrodisiac tendencies appeal to
Scorpio's lusty nature.
