Supportive Earth Medicines for Virgo & Eclipse Season
The essence of Virgo is such a lovely energy to work with. This mercurial, earth energy started during the last quarter of the year just after a mercury retrograde period. It asks us to take a look at the contracts, the procrastinations, the plans and intentions we’ve made for the year… its the halfway reassessment point!
Virgo szn offers us so much medicine around coming up with a plan, re-organizing, being more health conscious, diving deeper into our healing and opening the roads to being successful in your pursuits. In my spiritual path this sign is associated with the orisha Exu and with our second brain– the gut. In astrology, Virgo lives in the 6th house of our daily life, including work, wellness, and lifestyle.
A lot of BxB Botanica's medicines are made with the astrological forecast in mind and offers support throughout our life journey- whether it act as a guide in rough moments or as a tool for regulating the nervous system as we expand and shift on our life path. In this post I list and detail medicines from our apothecary and secret menu that can be the ally we need during this transit.

ocotillo also helps us to respond from firmly grounded agency & sovereignty— assisting us in repatterning emotional reactivity, fragility + hierarchical programming. This plant is often associated with Virgo & The Healer archetype.
The Vessel- The Vessel is a hemp based body lotion.
This tool was created in helping us to use self massage as a way to somatically release everything from anxiety stored in the body to releasing old programming about the way you look, feel or were told to feel about yourself. In the body butter we added light scents of Vetiver, Bergamot and Sandalwood. These scents were Intentionally chosen for their spiritual benefits as well as their amazing smell! This lotion was created to be a spiritual tool in meditating and connecting to your vessel- adorning your skin with protective properties on an energetic and medicinal level.
