Your Heart Knows — Plant Medicine for Mars Entering Leo
Description
What does your heart know before your mind is ready to accept it?
As Mars leaves Cancer and enters Leo on September 27, the warrior moves from the emotional terrain of the home into the palace of the heart. This transition invites us to consider the difference between performing courage and taking action rooted in our deepest truth.
✶ FIRST-YEAR ASTROLOGY COURSE ✶
✶ BOOK YOUR READING WITH ADAM ✶
In this episode, I share two times when I had to trust what my heart already knew: closing my yoga studio and choosing to leave my beloved garden behind. One choice required the courage to act. The other is asking me to wait, listen, and allow a new relationship with the land to unfold.
✶ THE ORACLE WITHIN RETREAT ✶
We will explore:
- The movement of Mars from Cancer into Leo
- The difference between heart led courage and the need for recognition
- Hawthorn - Cratageus spp. For strengthening the heart and cooling things down.
- Rose - Rosa spp. - for cooling and healing a broken heart
- Damiana - Turnera diffusa, as an herbal ally for vitality, pleasure, creativity, and desire
- A simple heart coherence breathing practice
- The mirror high five as a practice of encouragement and self trust
- Warming foods and the soup pot as medicine for the heart and home

We will also look ahead to the Mars and Pluto opposition on October 3, which may bring us into a deeper encounter with desire, power, and the truth of what we really want.
The heart often knows before the mind does. Mars in Leo offers us the courage to listen.
