Advice for Mars' Upcoming Long Stay and Retrograde in Gemini

[@michellegates7083]

Love you guys so much! ✨🌈✨💖✨💫✨

[@nancycm]

As a Mars in Gemini native, a helpful motto for me has been “you may not get to win, but you can choose how to lose”. I think about that every day.

[@ginahaber3224]

There are no coincidences! Just came home with rosemary and cloves to make my hair growth rinse right before watching today!

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

Love it! 🌿

[@margolyn8291]

Rosemary 💯🌟💙placed next to any patient recovering from amnesia,brain trauma,stroke..💯💯💯

"Words or thoughts that hurt." Hope that I can look back a year from now and think that it was worth it from the pov of therapy...Thank you!

[@engageyou]

Thank you, this is very helpful:) We❤️🌿Ashley🍄

[@meggymooo]

Last night I decided to drink some peppermint tea at work remembering watching this and then didn't think anything else about it. My dreams last night were so intense about mint and swans but it was like the mint was screaming at me. Weird experince wil probably stick to drinking the tea in the early afternoon rather than late at night!

[@25meeshy]

Mars in Gemini is in my chart. My mom always said “Michelle Renee think before you speak”

[@LinLin256]

I also have Mars in Gemini. But Mercury and Venus are in Gemini too 😅😅 So they’re actually helpful in keeping Mars less aggressive in communication. I never have the problem of words slipping unintentionall 😂

[@elizabethbolen1267]

I love these talks you and Ashley do together, so insightful and gets me excited about trying the different herbs. Thank you!

[@margolyn8291]

You two are the dynamic duo!! Wow from the wisdom of the earth shooting up the highway (air and earth) of the stars, simply magikal!! Infused with your contagious laughter 😊 thank you!! Replenishing my PRican spice rack with these.

[@em5211]

Agreed!!

[@rewfrog]

Loving the plant knowledge combined with astrology!! Interesting that I was called to plant a rosemary and a spearmint plant, and I've been working with and connecting to Mars ♥️ very cool!

[@e.s.l.1083]

Mars through gemini... AAAhhhaaa!!!! (Gemini seems to make me have the sensation of my brain being SLIT IN HALF) how fascinating... this must be going to be... "to be sure"... *all ways ADORE your work, ty.* - okay, here we hear we go...

[@healingwisdomarts]

im cooking mushroom soup with Rosemary as I listen to this !

[@gme5400]

I love how astrology and plants work together! I may have to sign up😉

[@bargleboy]

Thank you SO much for this! As a Cancer rising, this will be happening in my 12th house and I’ve honestly been very anxious about it. I also have my sun, moon and Mars in Virgo in the 3rd- I’m so grateful to learn of oat straw and blue vervain! They sound like exactly what I need. Thank you so much, this eased the anxiety ❤️ oh, and I’m typing this with a massive knot in my neck 😂

[@missme1069]

This was super helpful! Everytime Ashley comes on, i feel like she perfectly describes ailments i have and I get so excited to work with a new plant ally!

[@jenniferblankenship4915]

Nice to see both of you. Ashley, you are so intelligent. I could listen to you teach!

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

[@TulipIris7244]

Blue vervain is amazing!

I love this so much. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@peacepantherproductions]

Thank you guys-- great plants!

[@marya.8980]

Loving this Co-discussion, and Ashley's historic views of the herbal functions and uses. Could listen for hours on this. Thank you!!!

[@nanaocarey9623]

I have Mars - Mercury square between Pisces and Gemini, so I feel I need them ALL THE TIME! I have to go to get blue vervain... thank you for the fun video XD

[@carlanegri1102]

Fun info about the plant connection. I pulled a sprig of rosemary and found my peppermint oils in the cabinet. I have Jupiter in Gemini....I think it's gonna be fun for a while

[@mapimontoya4148]

Thank you for the advices……pretty need in these times of caos…..God bless us all❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@libbyzona]

So much great information, thank you, thank you ! I’m so grateful for the work you both do. ✨🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻✨

[@susanna7125]

#grabbed Mars in Gemini So lovely you mentioned mint. I’ve been handling mint all day, it has spread widely on my flower bed so I had to remove a lot of it, so I’m drying mint and I put it in a vase here and there and our home smells like mint all over 💚 AND I started a flamenco course, and isn’t it very Mars in Gemini with all the rhythmic clapping and hand and feet expression and I’m loving it💃🔥 Gemini is my 6th house, dancing might help…😅

[@susanna7125]

Oh but it isn’t even there yet 😅 I mean Mars in Gemini 😅 well I’m being grabbed in advance 😁

[@janemay639]

Venus in Gemini here. Just got engaged late last month, and busy wedding planning. Where’s the espresso? ☕️😂

[@superluckykitty5562]

Thank you for the fabulous tips....I'm super interested in the moon/herb class

[@Dazzle078]

As a Triple Virgo, I understand what it means to be overly critical of myself and others and have also had issues with speaking bluntly and abrasively at times. Albeit this was intended for my Mercurial Gemini brothers and sisters, it serves me well to come across the info you gave regarding the Blue Vervain. Am definitely interested in taking courses. Thank you for all you do.

[@aliciaholmes9490]

This presentation is just wonderful! What an opportunity this class will be. As a native with Moon/Saturn in Gemini, I am certainly inspired to take a closer look at this upcoming Mars transit. Thank you both!!

[@janerose-greenberg]

Thank you so much , I really enjoy your duo videos. 😊

[@dubiouslyemo]

Inconceivable! idk if you know this or not but you just described adhd in women! mars in #4 hit hard

[@MiauxCatterie]

blue vervain is the only herb that is really new to me, so i'm grateful for that talk. i love mint so much, but my gerd issues make it so that i'm not really supposed to use her anymore. which is just.. heartbreaking really. she's also the herb i use to cut the bitterness in other herbal tea blends i make. so now i'm having to relearn how to drink tea all over again. i adore rosemary, and will run my hands through her and then massage the oils into my scalp. it's a wonderful way to get that hair benefit. thank you for this, i'm super excited about the plant talks coming up. i'm grateful that you offer tuition assistance bc i'm unemployed and working on a disability claim, so i wouldn't be able to make use of this without that kind of offering.

[@debbiereigate705]

This is so interesting. I have natal Mars in Gemini on IC square moon/ Pluto/Uranus. I have constant high tension in my back/ neck and my job means I’m on computer all day. It’s hard living with this. Everything Acyuta says about it is correct. Ashleys advice sounds great ❤️

[@dragonflymirrorintuitivedi4972]

Thank you both so much for your service! I mentioned in a comment my Mars 27° ♊️ in 12th house placement previously, and how I'm less than thrilled regarding his long sojourn upcoming lol, but thanks to the both of you I'm no longer 'scared shitless' 🤣. So again, many thanks, all the love, and bless 🌙🍀💫

[@starbeam7289]

Thank you both so much!🙏💗 I love this combination of astrology and working with plants medicinally/vibrationally. Thank you for the depth and the wisdom and the humor 😆 love all the references. 🌿beautiful

[@Yasumi_Hoshikawa]

Funny, as you're explaining how Rosemary helps with memory and mint with mental acuity, my partner texts me that he forgot his own phone number...that he's had for years and years. Need to make my boy a rosemary wreath Roman style.

[@oracleofdawntarot888]

Lovely video xx thank you both 🙏

[@meaganhoover1726]

This was so great! As a dietitian, I’ve always been interested learning more about plant medicine. Thanks for doing this :)

[@scarletmarosa2602]

I love this so much! Thank you!

[@tatisloveoth]

I'm not excited about Mars conjuncting my natal mercury and venus during its stay in gemini but some more mental energy will be welcome. I'm also interested in trying mint leaves to aid my studying and better recall key ideas, thank you! 👌🏼

[@blessedgraceindeed]

Love this stuff

[@elizabethbryan7601]

I have suffered morning neck aches for years and my Mercury is in Leo, third house conjunct Pluto. I speak with a know it all tongue. I also have Gemini rising. I am looking forward to trying Vervain Tincture. Thank you so much for this information! You guys are a great duo.😊

[@brendapappas8433]

❤This is amazing and very helpful!! I plan on making a list of the plants and herbs along with the oils needed to get through! I would love to take the class the two of you are teaching next year! I have so much on my plate right now! I’m hoping you will repeat down the road! Thanks for all you do! 💕✨

[@marisolmontilla8660]

Yes!!!! Thank you for this, I expect to be watching this a few times to integrate the info. Cheers, 🙏✨

[@terajottarot8242]

Great Video! I love it that your coming together to bring this knowledge :)

[@Standownevil]

I LOVE Moulin Rouge! 🌹

[@christalmwalstead3432]

OMG obsessed with this combo of astrology and healing plant medicine.. please keep this up!! Also does your wife have a KZbin?

[@tamjordan1]

Don't forget oat straw tea. One of my faves. Also great for menopausal symptoms due to its high calcium content (also key to why it is so calming). Thank you for this reminder.

[@passionforfree2755]

Thanks for the work you do - I am always enjoying your content. As I am a virgo rising with Saturn, Mars and Venus in Gemini I must say: holy sh.... dont know what to expect from this long term visit of Mars in my 10th house. I already had some punches with the north node and the eclipses in my tenth house...I will need herbs to get through this 🤣🤣🤣

[@veronicaoldland7834]

Thank you so much

[@ParanormalShylo]

My fiancé is Gemini moon and rising, we are moving at the end of the month! Fingers crossed everything goes well

[@daniellebrook3333]

This was ace! Thank you to you both 😎💐

[@sid7547]

Thank you. This is going to be a big one

[@peacecandidate2565]

This is amazing! A wish fulfilled by the universe in conversation with these beautiful content co creators! Rosemary does have some contraindications for epilepsy as well as peppermint being intense for the very young and pets so be respectful of concentrated forms!

[@charliekelley493]

Thank you both so much! Perfect timing, every time 🙏🏻💜 Notes & screenshots taken. You both are absolutely amazing, love the synergies of most of my favorite topics. Sending so much gratitude love & light.

[@amandaschneikart3711]

Oatstraw is also one of my favorites!!!! Recommend it to everyone! So great 😃 I love basil too when Mars is overactive

[@annasmirnova2008]

It’s very interesting! Thank you!

[@jillmiller5134]

Question: do you think our time of Mars in Gemini is in some way preparing us for the upcoming Uranus in Gemini transit in a couple of years?

[@denisehancock]

Terrific episode, thank you for the plant usage tips. I am stocking the pantry in preparation. Already love Rosemary and Mint but haven't worked with the other two. Love it.

[@yelojazz6199]

❤️❤️❤️

[@firecrackerkitten4907]

This was fantastic! 💗 Thank you both so much! 😊🙏 I have Saturn nataly in Gemini and feel this Mars transit is going to be intense. I already drink rosemary, mint, and sage tea regularly but will look into your other herb options. Thanks again! 💗

[@k.h.7575]

For a periode of time, several years, I was absolutely obsessed with rosemary... Could eat big amounts finely chopped in a good olive oil 😋... That obsession has now gone away. But I still LOVE fresh herbs. Nice episode, love to hear more about herbs 🙏 I am now inspired to go back to oat meal in the morning 😊

[@blessedgraceindeed]

Love my saggy raising and Mars in Gemini in 6th rules 7.....love to workout si fy movies about cornier investigation.... Like the energy that feels young at heart ❤️😇.. Mercury Venus node Aries...

[@amandaschneikart3711]

Last thing, I took some blue vervain B4 listening 😍

[@dubiouslyemo]

blue vervain would be good for people with body dysmorphia.

[@pmzerbe]

Max Luhrman who made Moulin Rouge probably has mars in Gemini. All his films reflect that. Current Elvis film as well…

[@Kunjesvari]

That's 'Baz' Luhrman. I'm a big fan.

21:42 Perhaps your Guru Maharaja is wearing a rosemary crown. He is very beautiful. 🙏💖 I believe one of the devotee couples in my kirtan group in Hillsboro NC are also his disciples. Haribol!

[@Michelle-cb5jf]

I loved this and love your relationship! What protein powder do you guys use to put in your oatmeal? Thank you!🙏🏽❤️

[@em5211]

Hi, Ashley! thank you so much for all of this info. I absolutely love when you come on here. I wanted to ask if children can take all of these herbs? Including nettles and oatstraw?? Also, would you mind telling me what brand of protein you like?

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

Yes, kids that are eating solid food can take all of these herbs in modified doses. My girls started drinking nettle and Oatstraw tea at around 10 months old. I like Vega protein with greens 💚

[@helenmurray3543]

The way you describe the milky sheen makes me think of the softness of light that reflects back through the depth of a medium rather than from a harder surface, and in the former you can also have reflected back I believe, not only the surface colour, but also simultaneously the reflection/refraction, who knows the science..., of the complementary colour, and an intriguing light. Also silica content may be helping light reflection through the plant tissues. And what then in this of Mars in Gemini retrograde??

[@dj2damax.]

thank you great teacher!

[@NickeGallup]

I also have Mars in Gemini but it's in my 11th house.

[@NickeGallup]

As a Cancer Sun, this looks awesome!

[@wildanubia]

Possible frustration or a cutting off of friends or social circles

[@NickeGallup]

Hopefully not, my wedding is in less than 2 weeks.

[@kimsastro-healing108]

Words are wands or words are swords! 👅

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

Love this!

[@tamjordan1]

I have Mars in Gemini (in the 12th) so this is bringing out my tendency to repress it. However I am already way overstimulated and can't sleep.

[@evanolan1471]

Mars is in my chart in Gemini in the 11th house. Am I going to fight with all my friends?

[@melaniebruce3923]

Do these plants have effects even in small doses and cooked in food? I absolutely love to bake rosemary garlic bread this time of year and into fall. Just curious..

[@melaniebruce3923]

I’ve always found oatmeal to be very calming .. amazing!

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

I believe the plants work even by close proximity. There are more than just chemicals at play here. And yes, baking in bread counts!

[@mandalee5295]

This was AMAZING thank you both so much!! I love when you both make an episode together. This is so helpful. I've been quite nervous about this transit. It's taking place in my second house also where I have chiron. Also just been nervous about what is happening in the world around me. But I have hope and these videos and my studies give me that hope. Thank you. I've had Blue Vervain come to me a few times. I def am going to finally try it. It sounds like my Capricorn stellium where my natal Nercury also is could use this ☺️ I am my worst critic. But I am working through that! Also Ashley i was wondering if milkey oats and or oats were ok to take if you have celiac? A lady at the farmers market said i could but it makes me nervous. I react to oats and oat milk. Celiacs can react to oats and i also have an extreme latex allergy with most foods that are related to it. Thank you for your help. Thank you both so so much. 🤟🤙🙏

[@anniek7935]

Ooh hi Ashley! Ashtrology...☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

[@foziakhanam8776]

Plzzz, also, tell, how to use, shall we use the flower or leave? Grind ,take the squeeze or to boil in water?

[@JudyGem333]

Great episode!!! I'm Aqu Rising and Gemini Sun... always neck and shoulder problems. I see Blue Vervain comes in capsules as well. Will that be as efficient as the tincture?

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

Personally I think tinctures work better because part of the way these herbs work is through the vagus nerve which is enacted upon via the taste receptors. This is especially important with blue vervain as we need to stimulate a parasympathetic response for it to work. 💚

[@JudyGem333]

@@SkyHouseHerbs Thank you Ashley!

[@superlady2960]

Oooooooo will you please link the oatstraw herb source?

[@TheRealMaryLee]

I have Mars at 0 in Gemini in my 8th house. Does this mean this transit will be at its worse right at the beginning and maybe get better as the degree separates? I’m very nervous because this transit will be lo long.

[@wildanubia]

What you can expect is that impact once it hits the 0°. It could feel like a sudden wind in your sails until it starts to retrograde which can then feel like frustration in that area of life.

[@helpme100]

It doesn't have to be "worst" . I believe it's good to prepare what it might show you or simply not show you.

[@SpintoSopranoSexyYea]

Boyfriend has this exact placement (I also have a Venus in Gemini at 3 degrees with Mars at 0 degrees Aquarius). I’m anxious about this transit, but we’re likely getting engaged in October, so I’m wondering Mars Rx is just alluding to this.

[@jenniferblankenship4915]

How can I learn of the plant medicine in my area?

[@michelebliss5431]

Fantastic info and class. Question: can I ingest/use any type of oil in food or does it have to be food grade?

[@SkyHouseHerbs]

These are not essential oils which are different medicines and can be very damaging to the microbiome of the gut when taken internally. As an herbalist I’d recommend using the dried herbs as a tea or as a tincture. Hope that helps!
