the story:

This is not the end of the journey, but you’ve certainly come a long way and very close to the source of Life. The Sun is a symbol of great promise. When the Sun shines, we can naturally feel more abundant in our ways and secure in life, even when situations threaten to destabilize us in some ways. The Sun’s arrival is a sign that major lessons have been learned and are now being applied. This is the point of the journey right before an important decision (Judgment) has to be made, so what better way to enter into this period than to boost mental clarity on all accounts? Gotu Kola is perfect for this. This plant is considered a nootropic and is said to be what elephants eat that helps to keep their memory strong. In studies, Gotu Kola has been found to be effective in treating Alzheimer’s. In Tai Chi tradition, they are used for their effect on longevity and livelihood. When combined with herbs such as Rosemary, Gotu Kola is widely recognized as effective for hair growth. Preventing free radical damage, reducing anxiety and depression, and treating chronic inflammation are some of this plant’s remarkable abilities. Rosemary and Ginger serve as both catalysts and supporters in this formula. Rosemary is also one revered for their uses in cognitive function, intelligence, and memory. An herb high in minerals such as magnesium, manganese, iron, calcium, and copper, it is truly no wonder how it can do so much within us. Rosemary has also been linked to faster healing time of the liver, which is usually one of the slower organs to heal. This plant is great for cleansing the body, while also fortifying it. Ginger brings some heat into the digestive tract and boosts the power of Rosemary by acting as a catalyst for the transportation of minerals. All three of the herbs in this concoction are useful for treating metabolic conditions that may have you feeling overall stagnant. The Sun’s medicine provides a great fuel for The Empress’s manifestation, while also serving as a great antidote to an overly Lunar disposition and energetic signature.
