PLANETARY RULERSHIP OF HERBS
SUN: Angelica, bay laurel, celandine, centaury, hypericum (St. John's Wort), lovage, marigold, mistletoe (American is poisonous if ingested), rosemary, rue, saffron, storax, walnuts, eyebright, sunflower, helianthus, corn, rice, honey, juniper, pineapple, cinnamon, orange, grapefruit, almond, olive, coconut, chamomile.
MOON: Clary sage, watercress, cucumber, wild rose, orris (iris) root, eryngo (sea holly), water lily, lettuce, pumpkin, poppy, white rose, willow, wintergreen, cuckoopint, lotus, white pond lily, cabbage, chickweed, rhubarb, melon, onion, endive, turnip, mushroom, gourd, banana, sugar cane; any bulb plant.
MERCURY: Caraway, carrot, dill, elecampane, fenugreek, lavender, lily of the valley, licorice, mandrake, marjoram, myrtle tree, parsley, pomegranate, celery seed, valerian, horehound, southernwood, oat, parsnip, filbert and cashew nuts.
VENUS: Daisy, black alder, birch, blackberry, burdock, columbine, coltsfoot, cowslip, daffodils (also sacred to the moon, as any bulb plant is sacred to the goddesses), eryngo, feverfew, morning glory, plantain, raspberry, damask rose, strawberry, tansy, periwinkle, thyme, verbena, violet, yarrow, angelica, vervain, geranium, spearmint, primrose, wheat, beans, sorrel, gooseberries, almond (Jupiter also, so this is a good ingredient for nostrums to cure a marriage or love affair!), olive, tomato (the love apple), artichoke, pomegranate, cherry, apricot, apple, fig, plum, chestnut, elderberry, alder, grape. The primary flower of venus is, of course, the
rose.
MARS: (Herbs of Mars and Saturn for protection, especially the spicy ones) Betony, basil, YELLOW daffodil (good in energy spells by simply sending flowers!), cuckoopint/garlic/leeks (each also sacred to moon, so the potential combination of energies should be noted here for healing, too), dragonsblood, tragacanth, pine, pepper, wormwood (also sacred to moon as artemisia, and an excellent external insect repellent!), tarragon, woodruff, horseradish, mustard, aloe, ginger, hops, radish, capers, coriander, hyssop, cactus, broomcorn, hemlock, dogwood, ironwood. Red flowers are particularly propitious to the energy of Mars.
JUPITER: Black current, agrimony, asparabus, balm, turnip, borage, bugloss, chervil, cinquefoil, dandelion, carnation, linden, myrrh, oak, meadowsweet, watercress, anise, nutmet, mulberry, birch, maple, ash, Jimson weed (datura). Jupiter shares guardianship of mistletoe with the sun, and a bunch of mistletoe carries a protection message as well as the "kissing ball"
tradition of Yule.
SATURN: Aconite, red beets, plantain, comfrey, cypress, thyme, elm tree, pansy, hellebore, hemlock, hemp, henbane, nightshade (with Jupiter), Solomon's seal, yew, horsetail, marijuana, rye, barley, shepherd's purse, spinach, quince, sloe, sassafras, wintergreen, tamarind, coffee, tobacco, beech.
URANUS: Big spooky has two dedicated plants, clover and oxalis. The major healing influences of Uranus are electricity and hypnosis!
PLUTO: Pitcher plant (psychic healing rather than physical).
NEPTUNE: Arctotis (psychic healing rather than physical).
SUN: Angelica, bay laurel, celandine, centaury, hypericum (St. John's Wort), lovage, marigold, mistletoe (American is poisonous if ingested), rosemary, rue, saffron, storax, walnuts, eyebright, sunflower, helianthus, corn, rice, honey, juniper, pineapple, cinnamon, orange, grapefruit, almond, olive, coconut, chamomile.
