Scorpio Sun Sign and Essential Oils

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov 22), The Scorpio



Inhaling plant essential oils is a pleasant way to alter one’s mood. There is a connection between our sense of smell and our mood, response and emotion.  We all have our flaws, and personality hiccups, making for an interesting world.  Every zodiac sun sign has its personality traits, the good, the bad and the ugly. Taking time to understand your own Sun sign or a Sun sign of another person may help you connect  with that person better.

Now is the time for the Scorpio Sun sign so let’s begin… They slitter away, ruthless, secretive and quick tempered….oh look a Scorpio! Fret no more, those born during the Scorpio Sun are also known for their sensual, magnetic, passionately caring, goal oriented and dynamic side.  If you know someone who is a  Scorpio Sun sign, as I do, then you are never quite sure what side of them you are going to be faced with, similar to a Gemini Twin in that regard. Scorpios are also deeply emotional, thereby, often associated with the 2nd  chakra, the sacral chakra.  Some personality traits of the Scorpio come from its ruling planets: Pluto representing transformation, fearlessness, and personal power; and Planet Mars, the fire planet of raw battling energy. This creates a deep, sometimes, destructive sign.   Scorpios need to be careful not to explode, so it’s best for them to have an outlet for dealing with resentment, anger or deep insecurity.

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign. With this element combination the Scorpio needs security and makes the most of planning, building and achieving while maintaining their emotions in a fluid and variable way.  Scorpio also remind me of another Water sign member, Cancer, the Crab, because both are temperamental and hide their soft, vulnerable side underneath the hard shell.  Scorpios have the drive, and endurance to achieve while keeping up with a flowing ease of motion. Let’s not forget that Scorpios are also resourceful survivors who investigate everything.  Makes for a perfect private investigator!
Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), usually associated with the heart chakra is known for its passionate, sensual warmth, softening those with a hard coated heart. Ylang ylang aroma also encourages self confidence, relieving jealousy.   The deep stimulating intense sensual scent may entice a Scorpio to dance the Rumba...something I believe they would enjoy!

The clean refreshing whiff of Orange (Citrus sinensis) encourages an aura of joy and bliss, in turn, softening the potential sting of the Scorpio.   Often this aroma has an emotionally balancing influence on a moody and obsessive Scorpio.  Its zesty fragrance is courageous, light hearted and energizing.  I have yet to come across a person who did not like Orange. Children especially love the smell and it instills a sunny disposition. 

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) has strength, warmth and spirit, encouraging flexibility, stamina and comfort with just the right amount of “spice” for our Scorpio friend!   It allows emotional openness to express love and helps counteract anger and irritability.  If black pepper essential oil can speak it would say " I want happiness". 

A fun fact: Pablo Picasso was a Scorpio.

A fruity-mint, uplifting, yet centering aroma can be found with Zen Age Scorpio Botanical roll on. To purchase or for more information please visit www.TheZenAge.comAlso available are personalized botanical blends made special just for you.

Eucalyptus Globulus

Well, here we go, it’s Fall season.  Well not exactly for folks in FL, it’s still 90 degrees! But for those who are feeling the chill and maybe a sniffle it’s time to diffuse Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) essential oil. 

Best known for its therapeutic actions of antibacterial, analgesic, antiseptic, decongestant, astringent, expectorant, febrifuge, antirheumatic, antispasmodic and antineuralgic.   Perfect to diffuse in the air to help with bronchitis, coughs, decongestant, respiratory infections, sinus infections/congestion and colds ;  dilute and use topically to relieve insect bites , muscular aches and pains, and help headaches. Those with asthma, epilepsy or hypertension use caution as the aroma of Eucalyptus may be over stimulating.

It’s also good for purifying the air not just from germs but from negative energy.  The aroma is somewhat sharp , and camphor like. A history tidbit: Back in World War 1 eucalyptus oil was in high demand because it was used to help control meningitis outbreak and was used for the influenza virus of 1919.   

Spiritually speaking since Eucalyptus has an affinity for the lungs, it’s a good oil to diffuse to help with sadness to help restore a positive outlook. It’s a scent of newness  and freedom.

For the home or office diffuse pure plant essential oils of eucalyptus, lemon, and thyme  to purify the air of germs.  Remember synthetic won’t do what pure plant essential oils do!

Thanks for reading!
