Gemini Wellness Rx

Editor's Note: Special Exclusive Today! The cosmic mood is emotionally heavy-duty. So looking to the light touch of Venus-Mars in Gemini for relief, here's a "wellness prescription" from holistic astrologer extraordinaire Stephanie Gailing. She's the author of Planetary Apothecary and offers Monthly Wellness Horoscopes for each Zodiac sign on her stunning website.

"This summer is an emotionally intense one as we are experiencing two eclipses focused on Cancer, the sign of feelings and our deep-seated needs for nurturing. Yet, there is some levity to be found in that both Venus (the planet of relationships and pleasure) and Mars (the planet of action and will) both reside in adaptable and observant Gemini throughout July.

Asking questions, collecting information, and allowing your curiosity unbridled expression can be great vehicles to help move through the emotional intensity of the eclipses and give perspective as to the meaning of events manifesting in our lives. Exercising our intellect will not only grace us with more enjoyment, but provide a means for us to express our ambitions and attain our personal goals.

As Gemini rules the nervous system, it’s especially important, though, to support his area of your health. Essential oils like lavender are especially calming and great to use in a bath or room spray. Eating whole grains, including oats, provides nutrients supportive of the nervous system. And gentle exercise and even pranayama breathing practices can help support the body, allowing the energy to continue to flow."
