Panacea
a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases.
a remedy for all ills or difficulties: cure-all.
This is the dictionary definition of panacea; it feels to me that we need to talk about what we can each use individually as a remedy or cure all for our many difficulties right now.
I am saddened at the moment by some big losses of life by several people closer to me than feels comfortable.
It is not some distant idea of death but rather the real deal that I have to feel.
I am very aware of feeling grateful that they are no longer suffering, and down to years of communicating with those who have passed and many angels and guides from the other side, it is not really the person who left this plane that I grieve for.
I grieve for the families, friends and community that feel the loss so acutely.
So, what panacea can sooth the pain of grief?
Or any other mental, emotional or spiritual ills?
By now it is well proven that these things are what become physical illness.
In the language of my work, we would say that it is all about frequency and vibration.
Our thoughts and feelings vibrate at a higher and lighter frequency.
If we don’t shift the pain and trauma there, it eventually gets denser and consolidates into matter in our bodies.
Breaking down physical dis_ease in the form of lower and heavier vibrations is slower and can be harder.
My cure-all, may not be the same as your cure-all, because we are different, have had different experiences and we have our own blueprint.
Genetics play a role, but more and more science is proving that it is not so big a role as we thought.
My sense is that it is a heal yourself to heal the world kind of situation.
How do we heal ourselves; how do we find the key to the panacea that is just the right balm for all that ails us?
Know thine self
Simple
Or is it?
Seems simple, but it is not easy to do.
You are your life’s work and I am mine.
If each of us focused on healing our hurts, we would take others less personally, be less likely to hurt them as a reaction to being hurt, or being triggered by the memories of old hurts.
Have you heard the saying, ‘hurt people, hurt people?’
All of the atrocities people enact on other people originate with someone who is hurt.
Because they are hurting, and don’t have the panacea for their pain, they unconsciously and sometimes consciously begin to hurt others.
This can be from the minor to the major hurts, and if you are being honest, you are not immune to hurting others from a place of your own wounding.
None of us are…we are human and here to learn.
Hey it’s Virgo season, put the inner critic away.
This is not a time for self-flagellation but it is a time to get practical and even critical in the sense of what needs editing in my thinking, in my beliefs, in my values.
With Venus still retrograde in Leo as we begin the month and in her post shadow, all month, and Mercury retrograde in Virgo, while Sun shines his light there too, it is a really good opportunity to do a self-audit.
It is about progress, and not perfection so don’t get too pedantic about it.
As they say in the 12 step programs, do a fearless moral inventory.
See all that you are, and some of it you may not like.
Funny thing is, the parts I used to want to highlight when I was younger, I see now are often the ones that have gotten me into trouble.
For example, I thought my idealistic and trusting personality was a ‘good’ part of me, after all who wants to be the opposite, jaded and suspicious.
Now however I see that realistic and discerning is a better middle ground…as a younger person I only saw either or and I certainly only wanted to cultivate either and to bury or.
Now as I learn to incorporate both either and or, neither feel ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and so I can hold both/and, which gives me access to the full spectrum and I can more easily hold the middle ground of balance…does that make sense?
You hold the magical keys and codes to you
I think to mix and distil our panacea, we need to be our own apothecary.
You hold the magical keys and codes to you.
Unfortunately, most of us can’t read our code and keep losing the keys.
Never fear, the adventure of life is in the learning.
Learning to read the code and then develop it.
Learning to Use rather than loose the keys
Learning find and sort the puzzle pieces, and build the puzzle into a coherent picture
Learning to listen to our gut and then to trust the bodies innate wisdom
Learning our authentic heart voice and then ruling with our heart
Learning the power of our thoughts and words and then editing and cutting back to make space for new thoughts and ideas
Really, I could go on and on, because there is no end to the learning.
Just as our panacea is an elixir one day and a balm the next, a tincture or a tissue salt it matters not and it will not stay the same.
This is because nothing stays the same, it is a Universal law and not something you can change just because you want to.
You can choose to live in denial of your changes, but one day you will see your reflection in the shop window and wonder who is that elderly person looking back.
No one can stop the body aging, that is change right there.
We need to reflect daily.
So that we are not shocked by our change but also so that we are honest and authentic with our face (and body) in the mirror and we listen and accept the ways we are constantly changing.
And if we are truly getting to know ourselves better, we will see the changes are more than skin deep.
We change intellectually, emotionally, philosophically and really in all ways.
For me, Astrology has been such a helpful tool in understanding my potential and across the spectrum that it is and to learn to love all the parts of me.
I am of course a work in progress, but I continue to progress.
That’s life, constantly moving and shifting and us learning how to adapt and respond.
If you have never had your chart read, this would be a great time to do so.

Virgo Aug 24th to Sep 23rd
Virgo season comes in hot with Venus still retrograde in fiery Leo and Mercury retrograde in his own sign of Virgo, the urge to edit has never been stronger.
If you don’t use it, believe it anymore, or get joy from it, it must go. What “it’s” do you need to let go of?
Take some rest and time to reflect, it’s not indulgent, it is self-care.
Libra Sep 24th to Oct 23rd
Other (relationship) is always a theme in Libra season, and this Venus ruled sign is still feeling Venus in her post retrograde shadow for much of Libra season.
I am willing to bet that many of us will be making changes in our relationships, romantically, but also familial, friendships and work wise too.
We are not far off our first Libra south node eclipse since around 19 years ago.
So some themes we may be looking at with the Libra lens are
Less More
Codependent Interdependent
Passive Aggressive Open and honest
Judgmental Judicial
Full Moon
Aug had a Blue Moon (2 full moons in one month) Full Super Moon in Pisces on the 31st see my forecast around this Full Moon.

I am certainly still feeling the lessons of this moon so take some time to feel and heal.
Sep Full Moon will be in Aries on the 29th and will be the start of the Eclipse season as the two subsequent lunations will be eclipses.
New Moon
Virgo New Moon is on the 15th of September.

Crystals Made Simple
Check out my Udemy course.
It is impossible to choose any one crystal to be a panacea, all crystals are going to assist in some way.
My suggestion for this month is to ask yourself some questions that give you some keys to unlock your own code.
What crystal do I gravitate towards most often?
What stone do I reach for when I am feeling sad/grieving/overwhelmed?
Which crystal/s energize and uplift me?
How do I get the most benefit from my crystals? Wearing them, holding them, next to my bed/desk, in my water, on my alter or in a crystal grid etc.
Here is a brief list of some of my absolute must haves on answering these questions;
amethyst, turquoise, clear quartz, rose quartz, Aventurine, carnelian, kyanite, smoky quartz
If you want assistance with this type of work book a personal session, or check out my Udemy course Crystals made Simple.

Aromatherapy Made Simple
Check out my course on Udemy, Aromatherapy Made Simple
Eek, again it is impossible to choose and I would suggest similar questions around your oils.
A few things I would note is on the solo oil front I could not be without;
lavender, tea tree or lemon
Saying that as a panacea I absolutely adore oil blends.
Blending myself is where I really feel like a magical apothecary and can really personalize the blend.
doTERRA has however got some amazing blends which I often find for ease of use are remarkable effect, that I reach for first.
Some of my faves would be;
OnGuard (immune support),
ZenGest (all things digestive),
Citrus Bliss to cheer me up,
Balance (grounding),
InTune (focus)
Use any oils that are 100% pure essential oils, not fragrance oils.
I highly recommend doTERRA which is CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade).
Do you want to use the magic of doTERRA essential oils to support your growth?
Remember to write your blends in your blend book so you remember what you liked and what you didn’t.
