The gentle, inexpensive self-help tool of flower essences (also known as flower remedies) can help ease many of the strains of a Capricorn stellium. If you’re not familiar with this healing tool and how to use it, you can download the introductory chapter of my ebook, Flower Remedies—How Plants’ Energies Can Heal Us here: flower essence information-ch1.
Bach flower remedies are available in many health food stores and New Age bookstores, but all the essences and remedies mentioned below are available through the Flower Essence Society, at 1-800-736-9222 or online here: Flower Essence Services, Bridging Body and Soul. Though not a magic bullet, the essences below can ease some of the stresses of a stellium in perfectionistic Capricorn.
Relieving discouragement and fear of failure: People with major placements in Capricorn are strongly affected by failure. Working with the essences listed below for a few months can help them let go of shortfalls and gather courage to start anew. FES’s Self-Heal strengthens any essence mix by boosting your ability to heal yourself, so it deserves special mention.
Bach’s Larch is for people who fear they’ll fail, so they’re afraid to try. Gorse is a balm for those who are discouraged because their efforts have met with obstacle after obstacle. Gentian is for people who’ve had a bad setback and feel like giving up. If setbacks arise from not learning from past mistakes, Chestnut Bud helps break the pattern.
Wild Rose is for those who have given up completely and lapsed into apathy. It’s worth a trial to rekindle the willingness to make something of neglected talents. During hard times in the world, FES’ Penstamen can offset the fear that you’ll be caught up in the collective scarcity.
Lightening up on overwork: Capricorn, like Virgo, can be perfectionistic and unwilling to delegate tasks to others. Bach’s Rock Water helps those who are too hard on themselves to lighten up rather than trying to live up to a rigid standard.It’s a primary remedy for workaholics.
Elm helps capable people who’ve taken on too many responsibilities and become overwhelmed to develop a sense of what’s reasonable to accomplish. Oak is a primary Capricorn remedy, a solace for those whose life has been a long hard struggle and who now feel weary.
Note: This is an excerpt from the chapter devoted to the Capricorn Stellium generation in my new self-help/astrology ebook: The Stellium Handbook. It’s a $20 ebook. Download a sampler here: Stellium Handbook Sampler.
I also have an ebook about flower Essences and how to use them which contains a chapter on how to combine essences with astrology. It’s called Flower Remedies—How Plants’ Energies Can Heal Us, and is a $15 ebook.
