Astrology and Bach Flowers are an excellent combination for spiritual healing and health. Thanks to them, we can resolve the conflict between the soul and the mind that has caused the physical symptoms that we may be suffering from and, above all, find a path of evolution and personal, mental, emotional, and spiritual development. Together they can achieve and maintain optimal health in all areas and facets of our lives.
Some say that Dr. Bach was an astrologer, so those first twelve flower remedies were directly related to the twelve signs of the Zodiac or, more precisely, to the position of the Moon of birth, corresponding to the essence of each of them.
Even without physical symptoms or pathologies, we can make good use of flower essences, taking them as an energetic and vibrational contribution to our daily life. In this way, you can achieve (and preserve) that state of vitality, energy, activation, and regeneration to which we all aspire to feel full and satisfied.
Next, we are going to see what Edward Bach said about each of these first twelve flower remedies, as well as the astrological associations and the Tarot de Marseille that correspond to them.
