About Astrology and Herbs

The connection between the celestial skies above and the tidal movements and growth cycles of plants and vegetation below has long been understood and honored through planting and harvesting rituals and documented by Farmer’s Almanacs.

According to noted 20th century astrologer Alan Leo, herbs are classified according to planetary influences as follows:
