It's all well and good to know the day's forecast and tendencies, however what do you do when the planets or Moon offer turbulence, uncertainty or intensity (even the best kind!)?
One thing I do is use essential oil blends to suit the day. Many of you know I make sprays and offer a spritz during or after certain yoga classes or give as gifts. Also, you might have come to a Restorative Yoga with Reiki and Aromatherapy workshop and chosen a blend for yourself. On occasion I teach a Yoga with Aromatherapy class and we apply drops of oil to the feet, neck or heart while breathing in purifying scents. Aromatherapy involves more than just the sense of smell. Oils penetrate your skin to provide their healing benefits. Many can be dropped in tea or other beverage or breathed in deeply through the palms of your hands.
With
Robin's Zodiac Yoga workshop * coming up on Saturday, the 16th and the Autumnal Equinox approaching, I've been thinking about how certain blends are suitable to the qualities and tendencies of each sign and each element. Keeping in mind individual preferences, body/mind chemistry, and your Moon sign that shapes your emotional style, here's a guide to essential oil blends for your Sun or Moon sign. If you know your Moon sign, having a Sun sign blend and a Moon sign blend on hand would be ideal!
I'm a Leo and Cheer as well as Wild Orange doterra oils speak my language totally... on most days.
The reflect my energetic, optimistic feelings. Yet, my Scorpio Moon side is powerful, and this year my solar return ascendant is Scorpio too. Water signs resonate with the romantic, soft qualities of frankincense and lavender and calming properties of Marjoram which was considered the 'joy of the mountains', a symbol of happiness, in Greek and Roman times. Peace is the perfect water sign antidote when you're feeling overly emotional or in need of reassurance and nurturing.
Cheer and Peace are my fire sign/water sign go tos. I use an aromatherapy diffuser to fill the air while I'm working or relaxing at home. Both have a touch blend you can buy and touch them to your pulse points for just a bit of uplifting or grounding. It's small enough to carry with you everywhere, the size of a lip balm.
Cheer and Peace are both in the Emotional Aromatherapy Touch Kit, a collection of 6 touch oils you can carry with you. It's an emotional first aid kit for the ups and downs of our weeks and days!
Let's get to the blends for each element today. You can always consult with me if you want a personal blend to give you the assist you're looking for.
And here is the link to my doterra store. It's a significant savings to become a wholesale customer and join the Loyalty Rewards Program. Anyway, you can ask me about that by email if you want to or find the info on my site. Mostly, here are the oils for your sign, and why.

The Spa Kit is a really good deal! It has two of the oils listed. If you enroll wholesale it's an even better value!
After a few years of incorporating oils into my personal life and professional practice, I've found that doterra really are the most potent and the finest of all. I feel assured by their process and their Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade seal. Read more about them if you want. And email me anytime for direction.
If you are interested in sharing the oils and making residual income, I'd love to help you sign on. For wholesale prices, you need not be a Wellness Advocate. Let me tell you how to receive wholesale or just sign up from my own page to get that benefit. The oils are amazing. Try any other products too. My friend Jen swears by the toothpaste and shampoo and won't use anything else.
Peace, my friends! Hope to connect with you soon!
