ASTROLOGICAL TRANSITS, AROMATHERAPY AND AYURVEDA

Strong transits of Uranus to Mercury, (especially if connected to 3rd or 6th houses) can bring about some nervousness or too much thinking. These kind of transits would aggravated a strong Vata constitution. Benzoin essential oil seems to be good to calm the spirits...in general, I have found resins or woody base notes to be very soothing in this regards : Patchouli, Frankincense and Sandalwood essential oils.

Frankincense, Bois de Rose and Bergamote have also strong antidepressant effects, in case of low spirited Vata, as in a Saturn Mercury transit.

Other helpful oils very good for Vata indecision, anxiety and worry are Rose Geranium and Clary Sage (Gabriel Mojay).

In the case of Moon Mercury, Moon Uranus stomach upsets or Moon Saturn, Bergamote can be very nice, also very uplifting, cheery and helps with a loss of appetite.

Another very cheery, happy digestive oil is Cardamome. It brings a very positive energy, and you can add some crushed seeds to your budum while making coffee to counteract its overstimulating effect.

During the actual transit of Saturn to Neptune, to help grounding with the spiritual emphasis we may be experiencing, the oils of Clary Sage, Vetiver and Bergamote are nice and manly too.

For congestion, water retention or strong Kapha dosha, Cypress would be a nice one to use in a diffuser or in massage oil. Frankincense can be used on  strong possessive Kaphas, as it helps with overattachment.

For difficult Saturn or Uranus in the 6th houses transits, I would recommend fresh Coriander, used in salads or cooking ; even the seeds are great instead of pepper and can alleviate frustration from Mars Saturn restrictive aspects.

For other feelings related of space restriction, for example a small office space, Eucalyptus globulus… This can apply to a Saturn Jupiter, Saturn Mercury Moon kind of energy.

To stimulate a weak Moon, a Saturn Moon or Moon Pluto aspect, when a woman is going though forced feminine changes, like hysterectomy, or just natural menopause, Jasmine is wonderful. It boost confidence issues resulting from the situation.

Last, G. Mojay advises Lemon essential oil for problems related to fear of intimacy, lets say Venus Saturn, or Saturn 7th house. She says it opens the heart ; I would associate it with Bulgarian Rose, a wonderful oil for the heart chakra and Sandalwood..

Happy Holidays !
