Astrological Herbalism Decoded© opens a refreshing new era for this traditional field. Hill introduces a rational method for the herbal evaluation of symptoms based on the excesses and deficiencies of the planets, four elements, and signs of the natal chart, and of transits acting thereupon.

This course introduces a definitive, clear method for herbal evaluation based on symptoms in congress with the examination of the natal chart and current planetary transits to this chart. A historic first. This course opens a brilliant new chapter for the practice of traditional astrological herbalism!

This course remedies historic deficits by creating a bright new method from the scattered jigsaw puzzle of our astrological-herbal heritage. Greek and Renaissance texts are impotent regarding this topic because their lack of available birth data forced era physicians to rely (largely) on non-natal horary astrological methods. Herbal lists, conflated by planetary headings, are dangerously confusing at best.

Is this course right for me?

If you are an herbalist who is confused as to how to incorporate medical astrology, (or traditional astro-herbalism); or an astrologer longing to know how to comprehend or incorporate Western herbalism, then this course is definitely for you! (In fact, a dream course.)

This course is ideal for the herbal practitioner, lay herbalist, astrology student, or astrologer with a basic knowledge of herbs, and of the natal chart (horoscope). A comfort level with natal (birth) charts is advised. You should be able to recognize the planets and signs in a natal chart. You do not need to be an advanced astrologer. You do need to have an interest in astrology and herbalism and a general, working knowledge of herbs!

General awareness of planetary transits is helpful, but not required (the latter will be demonstrated in modules 3 and 4).

If you know absolutely nothing about natal charts or herbs, you might not be ready for this course.

Suggested Prerequisites: Students should be able to recognize the symbols for signs and planets (list included in the course), and know their way around a basic natal chart: signs, planets, houses. If possible, know the signs of rulership, exaltation, detriment, and fall for the planets (list included in the course).

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:

  • Understand how planetary and elemental energies influence the astral and physical bodies.

  • Find the “target” planet, element and signs in the natal chart aligned to the symptoms and affected body parts.

  • Accurately assess natal planet and element excess and deficiency.

  • Understand the health impact of current planetary transits on the natal chart.

  • Evaluate hypothetical herbal selection based on physical symptoms correlating to the above four contexts.

  • Find best times for harvest, decoction and administration for very specific conditions and purposes. Learn the time honored skills that allow you, the student of this science, to become your own “chef,” in creatively designing times for various herbal purposes.

  • Understand the three traditional Modes and how to assess if conditions are acute, chronic, or wavering. Herbal tips for treating modal dominance.

  • Obtain a wider comprehension of historical thoughts, traditions, and methods.
