Summary

In honor of Valentine's Day, celebrated as a day of love and friendship, we're focusing on Venus. Venus is the planet associated with archetypes of love, beauty, and relationships. Valentine's Day is often seen as being for lovers, but let's broaden the Venus archetype to include reflecting on the beauty in your life and the love you have for everyone in it. In this episode, we explore Venus in excess and deficiency through the lens of medical astrology and herbalism, examining how this archetype shapes the kidneys, reproductive system, circulation, relationships, and the deeper work of balance and self-understanding. Here's what you'll learn about: How Venus patterns show up physically: urinary and reproductive manifestations of Venus excess and deficiency The tissue states behind these patterns (lax/leaky vs. dry/tense/depleted) Herbs used to balance Venus patterns — from urinary tract remedies to reproductive support strategies How excess/deficiency works as a spectrum (not a binary) in both astrology and clinical herbalism The Venus–Mars polarity and why Venus issues often involve Mars dynamics The Aries–Libra axis as a map of self vs. other and how imbalance affects relationships The Taurus–Scorpio axis as a map of values, depth, transformation, and intimacy ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalis…
