Centaury for Virgo, Rock Rose for Pisces

More than 400 Flower Essences for your Zodiac Path

Debbie Sellwood has combined two healing paths, astrology and flower essence therapy in this remarkable flower essence reference book. She gives a basic introduction about flower essence therapy, how they are made, how they work, and how to take them. Then Debbie tackles the selection process. With thousands of flower essences to choose from, choosing which essences to use to address a specific purpose can be quite daunting. This author's approach for choosing essences in correspondence with your sun sign personality traits is genius.

Any student of astrology would benefit from Debbie Sellwood's book Centaury for Virgo, Rock Rose for Pisces. Your natal chart, and your sun sign in particular, is an indicator of what types of personality challenges you are likely to experience in your life. Debbie has devoted a chapter to each of the twelve sun signs (zodiac paths), suggesting essences to help resolve issues that relate to your personal sun sign. For example: She suggests Scarlet Monkeyflower, Tiger's Eye, Grape, and Holly, for Scorpios to help them cope with intense emotions associated with their deep passions. Other essences are recommended to help balance out some the Scorpio's other personality traits (stubborness, hyper-sensitivity, self-destructive behavior, attraction to the dark side, holding grudges, irritability, etc.)

Even if astrology is not your thing, and you are not familiar with sun sign personality traits that is okay. Flip to the back of the book and reference essence recommendations from alphabetical indexing for emotions and states of mind, such as coping with change, disappointment, jealousy, nervousness, or whatever.

Resolving Physical Imbalances

Flower essences are typically used to address emotional and mental imbalances. Because of the correlation of various body parts with each sun sign, Debbie also suggests essences to help resolve possible physical imbalances. For example: She suggests Sturt Desert Pea and Yerba Santa essences to ease breathing difficulties and other respiratory issues associated with Gemini personality.

No reference book is worth much if the index is missing or lacking. So I applaud Debbie Sellwood, or Polair Publishing (or both, whoever was responsible for the terrific indexes). Specifically, the Index of Emotions or States of Mind, the Producers of Essences, and the UK Essence Distributors. These resources are important to me because I, as well as the majority of my readership, live in the United States. Many of the essences mentioned in the book I'm not familiar with because they come from Australia or the UK. Knowing who to contact or where to order specific essences without involving a search is very helpful.
